Hi all ???? I'm Jaysen and was curious to see if anyone has a May surgery date? I think it'd be great to have as much support as possible..

Actually not feeling hungry at all and I'm suprised I thought I would have cravings for food and sweets. I haven't had any hunger pains. I weighed myself today and I'm 9 lbs down from Monday.

Tuesday is the big day for me!!! I'm Dawn and I live in Greenville, SC. I think we're pretty nice too! I'm also on Facebook. Dawn Hensley Young.

Not a good day for this girl!

I have to call tomorrow because I think one of my incisions may be starting to get infected and I think I am developing Thrush as well!

Feeling pretty down today!

Ya know , me too , no cravings. Which for me is really weird. I was someone who was always looking for something to eat. Lol. It's also weird for my husband , I'm not asking him what are we doing for dinner. Maybe finally we can eat to live and not live to eat. Happy days. Congrats on the 9 lbs down.

I'm just curious where is everyone from , where located. If you wanna share , I live in King Of Prussia, PA

That's suburbs of Philadelphia, about 20 miles outside of Philadelphia. Originally from Philly, lived outside for about 10 years.

I've been there before, loved the king of Prussia mall.. I had training up there 15 yes ago. I'm from Charlotte NC .. Been here most of my life. I was born in Louisiana while my father was in the army, but my family are from Michigan.

Very interesting that not only have you heard of King of Prussia, you've been here before. And yes , first thing people say is " great mall". Lol. It is a great mall , not being much of a shopper , I'm not there much. I live about a mile from that mall. So your in NC, how nice. I hear how southerns are so nice and hospitable. So not the case with Northerns. Well I consider myself nice. Just saying we have reputation of being rude and move / talk fast. Anyway, I feel pretty good today. And I also am no longer taking pain meds. Today is 12 days out for me. Oh , going to grocery store today, getting ready for when I can start eating soft / puréed. I did "cheat" a little this morning. Had a bit of Greek yogurt. Went down nicely without a problem. Don't wanna push it to quickly.

I'm not much of a mall person either. But yes it was a great mall. Yes us southerners are mostly friendly, and I know not all northerners are rude lol. We just love everyone down south, and want to make sure you don't need a cold glass of something for refreshment ????

I started a day early with sampling puréed food and no issues. Glad to hear you had no issues with yogurt.

I live in Anaheim Ca. About 2 miles from Disneyland. Lived here all my life.

I've never been to that side of the world yet. One day ???? I've always heard how beautiful it is.

I have been to both King of Prussia (of course the mall????). And Charlotte (my father used to live there). I live in Cape Cod in Truro, Massachusetts. Just got out of work, Gonna try to do a 2+ mile walk. Praying for the ooomph.

What a small world then, did you have a chance to visit Charlotte much? It's a pretty city. I'll get up to that part of the U.S. One day.

Hey Dawn. SC how nice.

I'm looking forward to Tuesday also , I'm gonna weigh myself first time since surgery and can start eating soft / puréed foods. I really am sick of protein shakes. I was told tastes could change after surgery and boy did they. I think everything is just way to sweet and difficult to tolerate.

You are pretty close to me. I love it down south.

Oh goodness, I hope you get better soon. Do you have to go to surgeons office or regular doctor? Sorry I don't have any words of wisdom ???? take care of yourself and know it'll get better soon.. It really will ????

Congrats on the 9lbs ???? that's awesome.. I have fleeting moments of head/stomach hunger.. It's still rather confusing..

I'm excited to hear how well you did on the scale.. And yes I've noticed how different my taste level is. And omg so sick of protein shakes lol. Tuesday I start soft food. I cheated and had a few bites of very moist chicken, it was friggin amazing lol. No issues at all either. I was kinda nervous, as I've heard people have issues with meat afterward.

@@imjenn Im so sorry to hear of your rough time. My incisions are are driving me crazy, they are itching soooo much, and every time I itch them they hurt. Its maddening!

@@Salonboi Yes, I did visit Charlotte fairly often, Our family had some good times there. Dad has since moved to Richmond.

@@dawnyoung872 I used to live in Murrells Inlet SC and my daughter was born in Georgetown! We loved SC.

Its Thursday for me, when I move to the next stage of washable /soft foods, like scrambled eggs. I can't wait. 2 weeks on that until I move to the next stage, real food. I am experiencing head hunger. But I worry that my pouch is too big. Ive been able to drink my shakes (2 a day) and brother and yogurt (5oz) with out feeling full. I of course worry I will be the only one with a pouch too big, and unable to lose significant weight. oh dear
