1 month out today from under the knife! Overall very happy with month 1 - 35lbs down post op. Had dreamed it would come off quicker, but given I lost 40 preop a slowdown was a bit expect. So nice to be down 75 from Oct 7, 2012 and 58 since first doc consult Nov 15.

Did my diet advancement (my surgery center is very conservative but great reputation for minimal complications). No vomiting and only discomfort was eating too fast.

Getting 60 - 90 g Protein a day, but was averaging under 600 cals. Burning 700 a day swimming so I know I need to up to between 900 and 1100 but I dont know how as it seems I am already just eating or drinking all the time.

Thank you all for help along the way!!

Off to goal 2!

Congratulations! I am 11 days out from surgery. No problems so far. Feel the need to organize my diet, do you have any advice or can you give example of what a day on your nutrition is like? Thanks!

THAT is GREAT! Good for you. It sure feels good huh? I am also one month out. My surgery was 01-14-13. Since the day of surgery I have lost 30 pounds. I am very happy with that. I am still on pureed foods. Next week I move up to soft.

Keep up the great work. That swimming you are doing is awesome.

Thx all. Day is kinda like this (now)

Wake, Water and pills

Swim 45 mins

Egg whites scrambled with a bit salsa

low fat cheese stick snack (2) in the day

lunch Protein Soup (Protidiet chicken and some cottage cheese)

dinner 2 oz or so meat (luncheon, meatball, etc), some steamed veggies

snack - pudding or tblespoon Peanut Butter and 1/4 banana

I also drink 2-3 L water (crystal light) a day and 2 8oz bottles of Isopure in the drink to keep protein up

good luck
