Sorry I have been as active on the boards as of late. 2 weeks out post op laparoscopic And I feel amazing!!! I have started walking at night and it is amazing how good I feel! I am up to 4-6 blocks without poopong out!

Eatting has been great! My surgeon wants me to get in 6 - 1/4 cup servings of purée a day and then of course the Fluid like crazy. I don't get 6 in but I do get 4-5 in. I have so much energy it's not even funny! Yesterday I swept mopped and vacuumed, did 3 loads of laundry and the dishes. Had to take a small breather and eat some tuna after but felt good!

I don't have the stinky poop problem that I am hearing and have had very normal Bms the past 4 days.

My routine I think helps allot. I wake up and have some cottage cheese. 30 minutes later a cup of hot Decaf green tea with my Vitamins and Prilosec. Then I drink my Protein Shake 8 oz fat free milk with one scoop of 24g Protein mix.

Then it's lunch time 30 min after I finish shake I go for some Tuna or chicken salad on a club cracker ( I soak them in the mix do they melt in your mouth). More liquids 30 min after that and you get the idea!

Mashed potatoes with puréed turkey thrown in is my fav!!

I am still losing weight at an insane rate and can already got into stuff that has been tight forever!

Hang in there everyone! Every pouch and body is different. U can have the you that you want to be! Just persevere! Thanks everyone for the support and especially DLC for the advice and protein list and Jenneliza for the great recipes!

Big, big congratulations Dave! I absolutely love your excitement and enthusiasm! For the pre-op guys out there that are struggling a little with their nerves, perhaps you'd be interested in sharing your pre-op thoughts and concerns and comparing that to your actual experience up to today? Any surprises? Better than expected? Worse than expected? Great job and congratulations again!!

I would say that my experience was easier than I thought. I have been so scared of dumping and a first I wasn't getting enough Fluid. But I pushed myself to drink more and to just take my time and I have yet to dump. Tonight I had mashed potatoes with a sugar free homemade spaghetti sauce (just a little) and it was awsome!

I think that we are all scared at first but remeber omg that we have the tools to succeed and doing what we know we're supposed to, will all help us to e truly successful

Wow the weight loss is very obvious! You are doing amazing! Glad you are so energetic, give me some of yours - now that I'm back to work, I'm exhausted!

Keep up the great work and keep us posted you really are doing well! Isn't it great to put on a piece of clothing that used to be tight and looks great now?!

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
