Hey Trudy. I hope you had a great weekend as well. My name is India. Let me know how you like the Protein with the 30 grams. I am always looking to eat more Protein especially since that helps with building muscles.I am glad you did well at the party. I went to visit my family this weekend and they grilled out and had junk there. I had some fruit and tried to eat a few bites of a burger. My stomach was not having that. I will just have to stick to bringing my own foods to events for now. It is definitely worth it! I heard that there will be pain around the biggest incision as well. If you'd like to try the Protein shakes you can text me and I will send you the samples. I don't want them to go to waste. 404-956-7280. I have already mailed out Vitamins to ppl on here. I would rather give them away then throw them away..

Wablue. I'm Trudy btw. I haven't really been that focused on my protein intake goal. My docs said I should be more concerned about it 5 weeks out and while I'm not looking forward I hairloss. It's all I can do to get in "food" and liquids daily. I have no idea what I like as far as protein goes. I liked muscle milk but I'm not even sure that's any good. I have brown rice Protein Powder from my last diet attempt which isn't that bad it's just super gritty. If u want to share ur shakes I will totally try them. I registered with insurenutrition.com but haven't heard from them. A fellow patient mentioned that the shakes they sent had 30g of protein in them or something. I'd love to try those so I'm patiently waiting to hear from the site. Went to a party last night managed to find some edible food and drink lots of Water so I know I can handle it. I knew beforehand that I'd be able to eat something there so I wasn't totally worried. But it's good to know that I can manage myself around large quantities of food and constant exclamations of "oh my God this is sooooo good!". I heard that a lot last night. Lol. But honestly other than one thing I really wanted to try I wasn't that interested in the food.
I've been experiencing a little pain around my largest and most discrete incision. I'm hoping that goes away soon. There's no redness. I must have irritated it somehow.

Hope you had a lovely weekend.

Hi Denise. Thank you. Totally awesome. I'd love to share war stories and meet up. How are you doing so far? Starting moist and mushy tomorrow. So excited! Lol. What kind of foods were you able to eat during that phase? What's changed in your life so far? Oh and where downtown do you work? I'm close by the Freedom Tower.

I'm Trudy btw.

Hi Trudy,

I'm doing pretty good. I started the gym this week so I feel like I'm getting back to a normal schedule. I was out for three weeks so this is my second week back at work, surgery was June 30th.

I came home (day #2) on soft and pureed food. I eat eggs, tuna fish, chicken salad, egg salad, pureed baked chicken, fish, turkey meatballs, turkey slices and yogurt. What's changed is the way my clothes fit and the amount of food I'm able/unable to eat. It's amazing to me how much I can eat.

How are you feeling? Are you tolerating the soft/pureed food well?

I work on Broadway, 2 blocks from City Hall. We work in the same area. I'm looking forward to sharing stories and possibly meeting up. Have a wonderful day and even better weekend.

Denise. Hello. I have a cousin located in the Bronx who might be interested in starting the process. Do you mind sharing your doctor's information so that she can get in touch with them? Thank you in advance. How are you doing otherwise? I may be coming to the city one day next week. Right on Wall Street too. I'll let you know once I get confirmation and perhaps we can get together for a tête-à-tête. Speak to you soon.

      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?

      April Surgery
      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
