Wow you look great!! Thanks so much fir posting! How has your life changed? What's a typical menu look like in a day for you?

Looking great!

Congrats. Im on my 2nd day of my liquid diet. And its hard. Surgery on the third of December. One question, do you have acid reflux?

Well you've helped me already by posting your pics. I'm 5'6 and was considering setting 163 as my goal weight so it's good to see your after pic.

Congratulations on your weight loss!

Who sets goal weight? Providers or patients. I know I'd be thrilled at 170. Sw for me was 265

Tomorrow is ur big day! In my prayers Linda305,hope everything goes well, nd ur doing great in no time!!

Thanks laurivgs for the words of encouragement

I need some advise. I am 2 weeks post op today and not feeling well at all. I was progressing well on the diet phases and than hit a wall. I was supposed to be eating puree but im still on full, and at times clear. I have this weird problem where I get this feeling of fullness in my midchest and up into my throat. It almost makes me feel like i cant breathe. My surgeon doesnt seem worried and recommended prilosec but i cant handle that big of a pill. I am also so weak and just feel awful. Any ideas???

Open Prilosec capsule and dump granules into small taste of apple sauce. I tear all my pills that way. Also the feeling you are having is likely esophageal spasms. Prilosec may help but also levsin. Good luck. Take it from me, do not rush the food issue. Full liquids was easier than soft.

Thank you! I took some reglan last night and that seemed to help a little. Its scary, feels like my throat is closing.

Did anyone else cruise thru to puree than get rejected back to clears and fulls??? Im feeling sooooo alone and abnormal......

Congratulations on your weight loss and your BABY! That's great! I am almost hitting 2 years post op--it's nice to see 3 years and beyond posting and doing well too!

Thank you so much for sharing your journey and congratulations on your success! I appreciate it when the vets take the time to help out us greenies!

You look great! congrats! And after a baby!!!! Yeah, Girl!
