Started Mushies

I officially started mushies on Feb. 17 - 10 days after my surgery. I had a post-op appt. with Dr. Billy on Friday, Feb, 18 and an upper GI. There was 1 area of concern with my new tummy but nothing to worry about or that would require surgery. The top part of my tummy where my band is was left a little larger than Dr. Billy wanted. I have an underperforming gallbladder that might need to come out later so if I need to have my gallbladder out, Dr. Billy can take it out and then adjust my plication if needed. I weighed and am pretty much hovering around 263-265. I knew when I got off liquids and went to mushies I would stall so I'm not too surprised with my weight. I can't exercise yet but I am going to increase my walking this week to help with weight loss.

I'm going to include my mushy diet (so far) for anyone interested:

Breakfast: Optifast shake blended with ice and 2 oz. Water, 2 oz. milk

Snack: 1/2 stick of string cheese, Water

Lunch: about 3 oz. of chicken tortilla Soup (strained or blend the big pieces), I add a little bit of shredded mexican cheese blend, water or crystal light w/ powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury unflavored Protein

Snack: sf pudding (I usually blend in some Unjury unflavored protein), rest of string cheese

Dinner: 1 egg scrambled with a little cheese on top, 1 large tsp. of mashed potatoes, crystal light w/ Unjury unflavored Protein

Snack: sf popsicle, or 1 graham cracker w/ a teeny bit of Peanut Butter (YUM!!)

I forgot to mention that I also drink Isopure (about 1/2 a bottle per day - 80 calories, 0 carbs and 20 grams of protein!)

I feel like I'm eating all the time but I'm trying to get in 40-60 grams of protein. The unflavored protein is helping!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
