My surgery was July 16 I lost 28 lbs at my 2 week post op appointment. I have had about 3 people ask me if I'm loosing weight (I didn't tell many people at all, no one from work). right now Im only weighing myself at the dr appointments but my next one isnt till the last week in august then october so I may start weighing myself after my august appointment.

I dont have any problems getting in all my protien or Water, Im on pureed stage. some of the pureed food hurts going down, I may go back to soups/broths for another week. other than that. everything is great. I went back to work a week after surgery and I feel 90%

@ omg that's amazing! Congrats on the weight loss and going back to work. What foods are giving you a hard time? I was good with tuna and eggs.

Surgery was July 20th, lost 20 pounds so far. Just started really foods and have to burp ALOT after eating them. Anyone else?

Well all of the Soups were fine. I tried cream of mushroom, cream of chicken and mushroom, french onion (all cambpells) I blended it then strained it.

but puree, I tried chicked salad (I put canned chicken, plain greek yogurt, sour cream, some seasoning and chicken broth in a food processor and blended till it was smoothe) then I tried ricotta bake, wendy's chli ran through my food processor, and refried Beans. all except the refried Beans has made my stomach ache and spasm. even vanilla greek yogurt make me ache and spasm just not as bad. I had refried beans from a mexican restaurant and they were fine but when I made them from a can they hurt lol.

nothing too bad, but i feel bad a few hours after eating. Im ussually only eating a 1/2 cup

Maybe try a little less? Sometimes we can eat more of one thing and less of others. @

My surgery was July 11. I've gone from a bmi of 30 to 25.5 and lost 28 lbs!! I've felt great from day 1 and am so so happy with my results. My pre Op jeans are falling off me so I was thrilled to donate my size 16s and rummage through old boxes to find my size 12s!

I'm still in the pureed stage until aug11 and rely heavily on Protein drinks. I can't seem to get enough Protein into my new tummy otherwise.

The best part of this is bring free of the constant torture I was putting myself through with thinking about my weight. My self esteem was at an all time low and my thoughts about the weight were unrelenting. Finding my way out of that dark place has me so happy and grateful that I've been able to do this!!!

Hi there, just wanted to check in to see how you guys are doing? Hows things going?

[BarrySue 602]

Had my surgery on July 13th. 127 lbs down, 81 lbs to go!

I indulged and occasionally cheated the first few months (not bad, but if I craved something, I had a bite so it didn't become an obsession), but that stopped pretty quickly. I keep to the high-protein/low carb diet just fine now, although I have to push myself to try and get enough calories because eating just isn't interesting/fun anymore. I haven't started hardcore exercising, but I do walk quite a bit more around my campus and do things like take the stairs/park far away when I go places so I get a little more activity.

I'm planning on starting to hit the gym soon since I want to hit my goal by summer. I'm moving to Austria in the fall for a few months of school, and I'd love to go with a healthy BMI!
