12 pounds down in 8 DAYS!



Recommended Posts

Today I went to my 1st follow-up doctor's appointments I am 8 days pre-op and down 12 pounds!!! It feels so great, but I know I still have a looooong way to go. I'm not ready to give myself a goal weight just yet, I don't want the extra preasure.

Today my doctor informed me I can start on mashed and pureed food. I am not sure why, but I am having serious anxiety about starting to eat "regular" food in any form. I think part of it is a fear of gaining weight back, and also over eating. I have been doing very well with my protien shakes, now that I have finally found one I can stomach. I just really don't want to mess this up!

Okay a few questions: what foods are foods pureed/mashed? I don't eat pork or beef and I'm not even 100% sure I would even like pureed meats? Please give me some ideas of things that worked for you, and the best way to prepare it. I have a nutribullet.

Thanks in advanced!

My favorite is Spaghetti sauce, ricotta cheese and shredded Parmesan warmed in the microwave. There is a food forum you can check out too. Congrats on the awesome weight loss!

Don't worry about gaining. You won't be getting enough calories to gain.

The first few weeks when you melt like a snowman in July are so thrilling, lol. It's a great feeling.

Your sleeve is still swollen, so you won't be eating a lot. I had mashed squash, mushroom gravy, avocado, hummus, Tomato Soup, strained Soups, etc. Any fruits and veggies that go in the nutribullet are fine. Don't worry about weight gain, unless you plan on living on hot fudge sauce for the next month, lol. You won't be eating a lot, and everything is going to taste soooo good. I felt like the Queen of NJ after 4 oz of Tomato Soup.

When you go on solids, you will start to know what "full" feels like. My friend bought me some 4 oz ramekins on Amazon.com to put my food in so I would always know what enough was. I still use them.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
