My surgery was on December 10, 2013. My weight was 265, today I went to my doctor and my weight is 231 YEA!!!!.. Today is the first day I can eat food if that is what you want to call it. On the way home my husband stop off at KFC and I got mashed potatoes. Just the smell and knowing I can eat that was wonderful. Just a couple of teaspoons but wow!!!!

My journey begin to get to the weight when I got married. I hope no I will get to that weight.

My surgeon Dr. Houseworth in Washington.

My surgery was also on Dec 10 and I also loss 34 pounds !!! That's great!! Tonight I'm having fish with a ounce of mashed potato also!!

I was Dec 10 too! Still on liquids - hopefully that will change at NUT appt on Monday!!

Hopefully!!! It amazes me how each doctor is different post and pre op diet!!! On my pre op diet I could only have liquids some people I know where able to do one small meal

34 lbs in 10 days?!?! Wow wow.

I had surgery on the 12th and am down about 11. Lbs. I guess everyone is different.

Yeah Stacy!!! I lost 18 on my own then 16 after surgery

I see. Great job - keep it up! It is nice to be getting past the early recovery stage isn't it? I have been feeling better every day.

Yes Stacy it def does!!! Everyday gets much better

First off: Congrats - that is a huge weightloss. Ny question is were you consistent on the intake of your Protein? I am struggling taking in my protein and I am wondering if this plays a role in the amount of weight I am/will lose.

Can you or anyone assist?

Honestly I don't get in my protein at all!!! No matter how hard I try I dont!!!

Currently I do about 400 calories a day!! I still can't eat much yesterday was my first time eating two meals soup for lunch and fish for dinner!!! I only can do about 1/4 cup of soup and maybe 2 ounces of fish and 1 ounce of sweet potato!!! It will happen!!! It takes longer for some!!! This week I'm sure I didn't loose anywhere near 16 pounds!! At first it's a lot of water weight!!! I told my self I will only weigh myself once a month so I won't become obsessed with it!!
