I started this process on Jan 8 by going to a seminar(259 lbs) Feb 23 started my three month dr watched diet. I finished my last diet class on May 20 (254lbs). Got a call while on Vacation on May 29, and scheduled surgery for June 15. At my pre-op appt on June 3, started my pre-op restricted diet on June 4. It went so fast I didn't really have time to get nervous!! June 15, I weighted 240lbs. Today I am down to 224. I am excited to not only get rid of some weight for good, but also I have a bathing suit I have that I would love to get into by the end of summer!!! I just have about 20 more pounds to go till I can wear it!!! Tomorrow is my 2 week check up and I am pretty well eating soft foods and walking daily. I am excited to hit my next goal of 200lbs, then I thing my next goal will be another 20 lbs. I think when I hit 199.9 lbs I am going to enjoy an hour massage, to reward myself. I am looking forward to running around with my one year old grandson and not being out of breath!!!! Loving my decision to do this and I am not looking back!!!!! Hope everyone else is doing great also!!!!

I had my surgery on June 15th as well. I'm feeling better every day. Good luck with your journey.

That is a great plan. Rewarding yourself is important

I had my surgery June 15 also. I was 293 my highest. I'm at 266 enjoying wls. Can you give me some ideas and support on soft foods tired of soup and jello. I'm eating carrots and mash fish .

You are doing awesome! So glad things went smoothly and that you have made such wonderful progress. I had mine June 10th! Also feeling great!

I was sleeved 6/24. Trying to think of rewards as well for when I meet goals. I think 20lbs is a great amount to lose for each reward. I've lost 35lbs so far and have 85 to go. I told hubby I wanted to go on a dream vacation when I hit goal. ???? I told him we could afford it since we will be meal sharing for the rest of our lives.

Way to go! You lost 35 since June 24th. Wonderful... I had my surgery too June 24th. First follow up appt this morning. Will see how i did.

Smitty3, anything cooked in the cockpot like chicken, pork tenderloins, mashed potatoes(although they have no protein if you cook with chicken both it adds protein) cheese, refried beans(mix in a little light sour cream) I had a good meal plan as I made something and then froze portions to later in the week and just warm in microwave. Hope that helps:)
