Woop!. Starting at 229 today. According to hospital scale.

Why are the robes for like six hundred pound people?. Even the socks are huge!

Glad to know things are progressing well. How much walking are you getting in on a daily basis? Did your doctor leave in a drain? I'm so glad that you are posting updates. Thank you!

hi cute. There's no drain. Is there supposed to be??-

I'm walking a lot. Even just in my house at times I'll get up and walk around. I feel great today. Like normal ish. Not hungry at all. I think I'm happy today because I walked by dog. Put on make up. Wiped down my car. Now I'm going for a drive. It helps to get out of the house and not just be thinking about ounces to drink and walking and all that shot 24/7. Lol. That being said I have my Water and Protein shake in the car. Lol

I am not cleared to drive yet. I will need to this week though. I am not taking any painkiller, so I should be ok.

I don't really know what to say but yaaaaaay for you guys. Good luck.

I went out to eat with the family! I had tomato basil soup with sour cream and hot chocolate. It was great!. Only needed a few bites and few sips. Totally wonderful. Take the rest home

Now we're at Starbucks which I love and I didn't get anything. Yay me.

Bit of a set back today. I was very active yesterday plus I might've had too many acidic things so my tummy hurts and I feel fast and tired. I might've over done in.

Going back to basic diet. On a good note still losing a pound a day lol.

@pitbullgrl. You didn't post yesterday. Just checking to see if you are okay?

Congrats I had my sleeve surgery yesterday at 2 and I'm home and feeling pretty good

I'm doing ok. Thank you. Little gassy and tired but ok. I find that you have to stay on the prescribed diet to the letter or you won't feel good. So that's what I'm doing

Still losing a pound a day so that's good

I agree with sticking to the plan. I was sleeved a week ago tonight (10/7).

I am on day 3 of 10 of an "all liquid" plan (after 4 days of "clear only" liquids).

I feel good. My stomach makes weird noises at times, but I am in little pain except for a couple of incision spots.

I can drink 2-3 oz. comfortably. I have had a bowel movement which helped.

Today I have to get some blood drawn (labs) before my 1 week out appointment with my surgeon on Friday.

I have been weighing my self every couple of days and I am down from 196.x on surgery day to 187.x this morning, so should be hitting 10 lbs down tomorrow.

Keep up the good work.

Today I wanted a steak. I know I can't but I wanted it lol

Tomorrow we're having a going away party for my boss at an amazing place I could never afford on my own but.....i can't eat lol

Oh well. food isn't disappearing off the planet. This liquid diet is temporary. Though I will say I hope to be put on the mushy diet tomorrow. I have my post op appnt tomorrow. Some refried Beans with pureed beef would be divine lol

Week one loss: 7lbs

I have not gone back to work yet, but I know it is a matter of time before I am tempted. It has been safe inside my house, but I did have to cook dinner for my family yesterday - whole wheat spaghetti with ground turkey and shredded zucchini. I somehow survived it. I did put a cup of it in the freezer for the future.

Stay strong. I have 7 days to get through before soft foods. We can do this.

. Nice job. Cooking for the family is hard. Going to work/being in social situations is tough as well. I'm hoping they tell me tomorrow I can go soft food or pureed or something lol. It's day eight.

Just did first post op appnt. Good news is I get to skip the pureed food portion of the post op diet. Bad news is one more week of liquids!! Ugh!!

220 today so nine pounds down.

Today is day eight. Just six more days to go. I can do this!

Sounds like you are doing great!

I did my labs yesterday and my post-op appointment is tomorrow.

On your plan, how long was your pureed food phase? What did it consist of?

I know I am on full liquids through day 14, then I am on soft foods from days 15 - 30.

I am hoping that I can be successful trying to balance drinking and eating/chewing.

I did not do a great job of that pre-op.
