So, tomorrow I'll be 3 weeks post op and on Saturday, I'll be 35. Of course, everyone wants to do some type of bday dinner so any advice on where to go or what to eat this early on?? The tradition has always been Olive Garden but that clearly won't be happening.....

What I have done at restaurants is order Soup but ask just for the broth. They actually do it for you so maybe that is an option. I get a funny look but they are more then willing I have done it at islands for the Tortilla Soup and at Claim Jumper for the onion soup. Happy Birthday

At week three I was still on soft foods, so if you do not want to mash up stuff in front of people, I agree with the suggestion about Soup. Almost any restaurant has some kind of soup. Assuming that the people you are dining with are aware that you have recently had surgery, they shouldn't be alarmed. If you do not want Jello and whip cream for dessert, then let your guests have whatever, and you take a rain check for about six months out from now. I wish you the best. Happy Birthday.

Olive Garden has good Soup. Why can't you still go to The Olive Garden and just order soup?

      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.

      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! 😞
