No real cravings. I feel like I had tons pre op and I satisfied every single last one of them lol. Anyways I am about 2 weeks (16 days) post op and since being on purees I am experimenting with foods I shouldn't be.

I went to Buffalo wild wings and ordered the naked grilled tenders. I ate one. It settled in pretty well no complications. Later we went to Red lobster and I had crab legs. No issues.

I don't cook often. So my husband and I enjoy eating out. He bought Snacks for the hotel room (we're out of town) smart pop white cheddar popcorn. Mmmmm so what did I do. Several hours had passed since dinner. I got one of the 8 oz cofee cups and filled it half way. It seemed to do fine but I woke up the next morning feeling as if something was stuck.

Could've been the popcorn? Was delicious but very uncomfortable afterwards. I shouldn't have eaten it. I see how it is very important to stay on track with the the plan not only for compliance but to establish discipline and achieve success.

I don't think I will be successful at achieving weightloss if I try to get away with eating smart pop popcorn at every opportunity. Had That gone well, I probably would've. I don't even want to try again.

Lesson learned for many other foods to come. Time to take full advantage of this golden period help the tool help me.

While our stomachs are healing our diets are in stages so the stomach doesn't have to work hard to digest. Minimal churning is important. So, just because we can eat something that doesn't affect us negatively, we don't know what is happening on the inside. Just wanted to share that. I've been on the soft stage since last thursday and it is sooooo much better. We get real food, just not the hard things to digest!

I had cravings, but they weren't true cravings. I wanted all kinds of food, but it was because I couldn't have it. If someone had actually put a cheeseburger in front of me, I would have been disgusted by it.

Oh I know! I have a Dr appointment tomorrow as well. I'm hoping he'll tell me ok you can start on the next level of your diet plan. I'm so sick of being on the liquid diet. I need more variety.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
