My favorite food is crab its the only meat that I can tolerate. Soups are my friends. I just purchase my 1st ever pair of sixe 6 jeans. Not just jeans they are red jeans from Costcso. I got them for $14.99.

I can tollerate most foods. I have to limit Pasta as it is so dense I feel really full from it. Now that I'm healed, nothing "gets stuck" anymore. I feel great which is wonderful. Had an infection in my incision initially so I didn't feel great for serveral weeks. The weight loss seems to come in waves - wish is was more consistent but beggers cannot be choosers. I"m down 47 pounds since I started the liquid diet 2 weeks before my surgery!

I mostly feel great. I can eat pretty much anything but choose not to eat bread, rice or Pasta. No nausea, no vomiting, just eat small portions. My favorite things to eat are white cheese (can't do yellow anymore), any meat, and fresh fruits though those are very limited. I also like nuts, but those are just treats. If i cant find anything to eat my go-to is a 1/4 cup of oatmeal mixed with a tablespoon of peanutbutter. I'm working out 3x a week, doing the C25K program. I've gone from a size 22-24 to a baggy-ish 16 (but I don't have any 14s so I'll be stuck at 16 until I fit in my 12s). My next goal is to be down 100 pounds (just 9 more to go!), then to be under 200 (just 13 to go!)

I am at 4 months out today and feeling really good! I started working really long hours recently

And that has taken some of my workout hours, but I'm working with kids and move ALL DAY, so I think it's okay for now. My hair is falling out in handfuls, but seems to be slowing slightly.

I do a lot of walking, help my fiancé, who is a landscaper, move rocks and dirt, dance and Zumba on my Xbox, and spend all day with kids so I am active all day!

      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!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
