Our time has finally come where our group can move over from the "pre op" thread. I can't wait to join you in a little over two weeks.

Keep it up Bowlinghooker!

I have my one week appointment and hope to get the green light to start getting some protein

Mine went well too! On to full liquids. I had a little more then 1/4 cup of strained cream of mushroom soup with some melted mozzarella cheese melted in it. It was fabulous! I have to wait 2 more weeks to have an egg but I finally feel I have turned the corner. I also am down 28 pounds since the start of this journey. Glad you are doing well!

Have my first post op appt today. Surgery was 7/2. I am currently down 30 lbs! Nutritionist and surgeon were very pleased with everything. I have no restrictions and can do anything I want! I can eat any anything I can tolerate and he is letting me skip the pureed stange! yay!! Just chew really well. My surgeon always makes me feel so great. He told me I looked great and keep up the good work!!

I just ate pureed chicken and green beans in a fat free cream of chicken/broth mix. Never thought I would say this but after 8 days of clear liquids....I loved it

Hey Everybody, I had my surgery on July 23rd. Everything is going well kinda of. I never had any pain from the surgery, wounds are healing well. But I am tired like most of y'all keep saying you are. I went out yesterday and it was hotttttt outside. I ended up passing out due to the heat. Had a appointment with my doctor today, he said its due to not eating and my blood sugar dropped. Scared the shit outta of me literally, ended up having my first bm that night! Lol tmi I was wondering how much exercise is everyone getting in. I walk around my neighborhood, and play the wii. But since I'm always tired and feel like I'm over heating I can't do much. I know I'm doing something right because in down 28 lbs in a week . But I feel I should be doing more.

Luvindee.. my walking was pretty limited to around the house for the first week. My one week appointment was yesterday and I received the green light to start getting some protein in. My wife, daughter and I went for a walk last night and wewent about a mile. Definitely not a fast pace but my goal is to start getting in the habit of setting aside time to exercise for long term success.

For the first couple weeks I only walked 10 minutes 3x a day. Mostly in the house bc it was so blazing hot! But a couple times I walked down my street. I could take a 45 minute nap after just taking a shower! So I understand your tiredness. Around the beginning of last week (week 4) my energy started returning. I'm still exhausted by end of day (I also have a 2 yo) but I'm not napping during the day! 28lbs in a week is awesome! I'm down that but it's been a month today! So perspective. Your doing well! Keep up the good work!

I had my 2 week post-op appt yesterday. Everyone is pleased with my progress and weight loss (20 lbs.). NUT says I can now start "soft textured" and "moist" foods like chicken,turkey,fish,casseroles,corn or rice based cereals, fresh and frozen vegetables.

Looking forward to it!
