I am down 7 lbs, I think. My scale is hard to read, because it's not digital. In any case, my BMI was 42 in July when I started the process and now it's under 40, so even if I haven't lost big numbers, I am going in the right direction.

BTW, I have been eating pureed Soup about once a day since Day 5...I am using the Magic Bullet and it seems to do a good job.

I don't want to sound goody goody it just scares me for you but just jump back on the wagon we all are guilty and be careful ! it's been rough we had our last christmas on saturday and I just fixed my kids there plates and I went and set on the couch why everybody else ate cause boy did those mash tators and stuffing and ham and turkey and sweet potatoes look good !

Today I am 3 weeks out from my surgery I went to the doctor last week and he said I was healing just fine well this morning I was touching one of my stiches from the surgery and it felt kind of hard like a lump . I had my husband look at it he said every thing looks fine but it feels hard to me I am getting worried it is the scar on the right side . It does not look red or infected I do no know what is going on or am I worrying to much

Try not to worry Hun, scars can feel very lumpy and bumpy for the first 12 months. Our skin has been cut and resewn chances are one or two fibres have overlapped. If its not weeping or red or hot or tender then it's prob just normal healing if IRS still worried give the Dr a call xxxx

Even though I was sleeved on the 17th, I don't get to see my doctor for the two-week appointment until the 2nd. I haven't even lost 10 lbs, so I am bracing myself for some kind of disappointment from him, but I don't think I did anything wrong as per his instructions.

As for SCARRING - if it feels lumpy, I think that is normal. Two of my scars are really lumpy. I would be more worried if you said the incisions were causing pain and/or if there was increased redness.

You definitely shouldn't have eaten those! It would've been better if you chewed and spit. I've done it a few times but only with little things, and I've eater a few peanuts and pistachios, but I've stopped that because there is a serious risk for a leak only being two weeks out. It's not about weight gain, it's about your health after healing. Be cautious and if you start feeling intense pain with a fever, contact your doctor right away!

One of my incisions is bumpy too, but I figured it's just healing and the stitches are still there. Once the stitches dissolve, put creams on it and rub it to get circulation into it. I think it's normal for our scars to be weird

Oh no. Vomiting AGAIN. This is seriously annoying me now. :-(

I'm sorry to hear about the vomiting! is it because you just moved to pureed foods or has it been vomiting through out the two weeks post op?

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
