Oh I don't think I could have done another 7 days of liquids. I am on soft food for 2 weeks. It is harder then I expected. When you think your eating slow' date=' slow down. That is going to be my thought for this next 2 weeks![/quote']

Good advice. All I think about is what soft foods I'll eat next Tuesday. I'd love to know if you eat anything that doesn't go down well - and if you feel like you have about 3 oz of space down there. My stomach feels a different size morning vs afternoon. Very weird.

So far the turkey chili was to much. I have the costco canned chicken breast that I added a touch of mayo and mustard to to ensure that it was moist. I have been working on about 1/4 of a cup for almost an hour. Small bites, lots of time in between, I am about half way done with it. Feeling almost full, but it is settling well! Also, Greek yogurt is a blessing!

I had mine on the 28th too...I am so sick of Protein Shakes, I cannot drink them anymore. I am not a sweet person. Bacon flavored protien shakes and I would be all over that! So I have to work at my Protein intake. I was fluids, 1 week, 2 weeks puree, and now tomorrow I can start soft foods. The juggling of fluids, then no fluids 30 min before and after eating, then eating 6x a day. I feel like this is a part time job sometimes. Not losing weight super fast, so I decided to not go on the scale. I did try oppsies...they are awesome with hummus or pureed meat. I have been juicing for energy. Some drinks I can stand better than others. This is a shift in mind set. All has been pretty good so far.

I was sleeved May 28th, as well. As of today, down 45.6 lbs since surgery and 70.4 since I started in October. Decided to give myself something to look forward to, I signed up for the Warrior Dash in September. I've been having a hard time exercising, so that is my motivation.

Although it's been difficult to get the Protein and liquids in each day, I don't regret my decision. Happy sleeving!! :D

      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?
