This space is dedicated to all the “Magnificent March 2013” people that have decided to make major changes in their lives. This is the space to celebrate our NEW LIFE together!

I just got cleared to stage 2, full liquids and soft puréed foods with baby foods and blended stuff.

I am definitely smaller but I'm still very swollen and my clothes got smaller with my pre op diet so I'm still enjoying that but in the next day or 2, at this rate, I should be below my pre surgery weight by Friday, which is 40lbs less than I was 8 weeks ago I am now 1 week post op and I'm still managing discomfort and gas but that is all so easy to deal with.

So happy you are happy with your progress!!

Thanks Gurlygirl, I have my post op tomorrow. I'm praying I'll be released to Stage 2 also.

Congrats on your progress so far!! That's amazing.

I don't even feel like i got the surgery done, no pain and i don't feel full at all....surgery was march 6

I started Stage 2 Puréed Foods today. I've had Greek yogurt, ricotta cheese with marinara sauce & melted mozzarella, and cottage cheese. I'm planning to have retried beans with melted mozzarella, low fat sour cream & salsa for dinner. It's so great to finally eat something!

There must be something wrong with my doctor. I only get 2 days of liquid. Then its pureed for for 2 weeks then 6 weeks of soft foods. I don't even see him until a month after surgery.
