Well, I actually get constipated just before I go see the doctor.. just about every time. And then I drink a lot of liquid hoping it will make me go and all I end up is being almost full when I go to the doctor. I weighed 211 right before I went to the doctor on my scale (that last month weighed me exactly the same as the doctor's) and this month now that I'm not on a liquid diet, I weighed almost 4 lbs more than I weighed on my scale. And this morning I weighed 209.6.

My doctor said it wasn't as good as he would have liked. I'm pretty ok with it though because, if I lose 3.4 lbs per week - my average so far - in a year I will be at goal. Course, it will probably slow down more - but even if I only lost a lb a week in a year I would be down to 157, which is only 27 lbs from goal and I will have lost 83 lbs.

Hey, I had a full mth liquid diet not sure what you had to do, also I'm eating pretty much only Protein and still shakes because my input is still small.... Prob around 2-3 oz at a time. I do a shake in morning and then lunch then dinner sometimes a nightly snack of Greek yogurt or protein. I would love love love an enchilada! Scared to try anything bready also don't wanna start carbs! Cal intake is prob around 700-800 on a good day. I'm really trying to up it a bit. And boy do I have to get my tush in gear and workout!

Brandywine I was put on any and all food that my tummy would tolerate at 4/5 weeks. popcorn, nuts, Rice Pasta and breads my nutritionalists wants me to eat 100 carbs a day i cant do it yet. I get most of my Protein from foods I will drink a shake sometime during the day if I'm falling short. Love shrimp chicken turkey and salmon :). My input is still small well no more than two or 3 ounces it at any meal. I do take in 800 or so calories a day. When I'm not sick I burn 400/900 calories a day.

I was just cleared to take my arthritis medicine. It's really been too painful to walk much without it. And I live upstairs so even a walk to the car and back has been difficult. He told me I had to take some food with it so I usually eat yogurt.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
