Today it became obviously evident that I need a buddy. Sleeved 12/18 and doing well with liquids. I'm having plenty of head hunger and with my family at brunch today was horrible. I just wanted to eat it all. Any buddies further out that can share their experience?

Hey East Bay! I'm near San Jose and was sleeved on the 16th. I find I am having a lot of head hunger too. It was really tough today with food all around me all day while I was sucking my sugar free Popsicles and having my Protein Shakes. I feel your pain!

How's it going? It's getting better for me, but really want to get to more solid foods. Having a big family dinner now and I brought my strainer and had Soup. The rice and BBQ was tempting but once I started eating, I was fine. So thankful this is getting better. Stacie.

Hi Stacie.It's weird how fast I get full. I have been eating soup a lot too and it is filling. I am a day away from being able to do puréed food so I went to the store and got hummus, cottage cheese, laughing cow cheese wedges and almonds that I plan on blending to make almond butter. Not sure what I will spread it on, maybe just have it from a spoon. I tried cottage cheese warmed with a little marinara tonight for dinner (a day early) and REALLY enjoyed the different texture! How far out are you from your next eating stage? Katie

I have until Wednesday and if feels weeks away. I can't wait. It's getting harder for me to just drink and fix soup. I want to chew something. No regrets, I weighed today and I'm down 276 the morning of surgery to 259 today. I also know this gets better. I can't wait to hear how tomorrow's eating goes for you. What you got sounds yummy! I did get full tonight and stopped eating before my bowl was done! Another small victory..…

wow! You are doing great! I started at 308! Then lost some on my pre-op liquid diet and the day of surgery I was 298 and today I was 281. My goal is to get to 180 so I have about 100 pounds to go...ugh! I have my first post op appt with my surgeon tomorrow and I have lots of questions like, when can I take a bath??? I am getting tired of showering all the time, I am a bath girl, I like my soaking time :) Food today was better, I mixed some hummus in with a 1/2 cup of cottage cheese and it tasted wonderful! I'm always tired during the day so I am wondering if I am getting enough Protein. Do you drink Protein Shakes? If so, what kind? I drink sugar free muscle milk light and I am getting really tired of them. Wednesday is coming up fast for you and then you can change it up a little! You are doing a great job. This is one of the toughest things I have ever done!

Hey, Katie!

How's it going? I'm doing okay, but still really tired. I'm eating 3 meals and sticking with 1-2 ounces a meal. I get full very quickly. It's so weird. I'm going to start the gym on Monday, just walking now. What about you? How's the eating coming along? Are you on my fitness pal? If so, friend me. I'm stabuch.

      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?

      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
