Well I didn't see any started over on this side, and since it's already into September I am starting one. I will go post over in the pre-op area.

My surgery is on 9/11. 9 more days. :ph34r:

One thing I'm happy about is food I used to like such as seafood are still very appealing to me. I'm glad because I want some of my first real solid food to eat when I'm ready is fresh baked gulf oysters

Angie!!' date=' I'm not sure. I had read that other people lost more initially.... I realize the problem isn't the 15 lbs. it's comparing my weight loss to other people's. in retrospect, I am doing as well as I am supposed to do and need to not worry about how much other people loose initially.[/quote']

We are all so different. There are so many factors that impact our losses. And everyone counts their losses differently. As long as you are doing what you are supposed to than you are doing great. Trust and Celebrate the work you are doing!

You must on along the coast...I'm not an oyster person myself, but the hubster loves them

I cheated and had soupy mashed potatoes today. I feel really full....I meet with my nut next week' date=' and can't wait!![/quote']

When was your sleeve date? And I TOTALLY understand!! I'm over liquids!

My sleeve was 9/4 and I cannot wait to have some cottage cheese and some eggs!! And maybe soon enough.... shrimp and lobster tail!!

I would like to know the same too. I made the mistake last night of having puréed fruit in my jello' date=' and regretted it all night long. I think that 6 oz is too much......lol[/quote']

I agree! 6 oz might be excessive. I had tomato Soup for dinner and now I'm having stomach cramps. I've been able to handle that much until today. I have to eat much less and much slower. Every day I'm learning more about my pouch!

I too had mashed potatoes. Ate and savored each tiny bite. What heaven. I became"full" at a teaspoon and a half. I'm probably starting three/ four days earlier than the scheduled plan, but really I am only introducing a few things to satiate my taste buds. Actually almost getting 600 calories in now nine days out. Doc visit tomorrow

I'm 9 days out too, but really struggling to get in some calories. I've reached 400 once, most days it's 100-250. Totally jealous of your 600 : )

Pre-op, I was doing a champ at getting in Protein. Now, I can barely finish 1/2 a Protein shake a day. Hopefully I can make some serious progress in the next few days. I've gotten in maybe 1200 calories over the last 9 days. That can't be healthy in the long run.

I wish I could get in 600 cal!! I'm lucky to get about 400 also. I'm doing well with Protein shakes, I can take almost 50g a day, but calories is another thing!

HumorMe00.... You will get there. Progress takes time.

So that really bad pain in the breast-bone area is from having too much?? I could hardly get in 2 tsp of soup lat night before the pain was unbearable!! Anyone else have this issue???
