I’m so excited to start my chapter

COUNT DOWN 64 DAYS

And how are feeling Dandelion? Nauseous? Vomiting? Gas pain

What’s everybody eating I’ll be a month on the 11th.

I went to my first post-op appointment yesterday. It’s been a month since I started my pre-op diet and two weeks since surgery and I’m officially down 31lbs. Yay! He said my incisions look good and I finally went for a swim yesterday. I’ve been missing the water. I’ve also gone to the chiropractor a few times and she has really helped with the after-surgery tight muscles. The adjustments have calmed my digestive system AND lowered my BP too. Highly recommend if you have access to one. I started changing up my protein shakes a little as well. Dropped some PB2 powder, half a banana and collagen into my Premier chocolate this morning and it was delicious.

A lot of folks say everything is too sweet for them after surgery, but I still looooove my chocolate. Apparently, I’m not one of those people lol.

Good for you. I have my 1 month post op appt tomorrow so I’m excited about that but I got a lot of questions for going forward. My doctor said I couldn’t submerge in water until like 4-6 weeks, it’s hot and I want to get in the pool lol.

Aw that’s a bummer. Yeah, mine said 7-10 days before swimming, but I waited the two weeks just to make sure.

My surgery is on June 5th. I pray that this is the right decision and that I will be healthier. For me it was between this surgery or heart surgery so the choice was clear. I am excited and scared at the same time.

I'm sure you made the right decision. I wish you all the best. I also had my surgery on June 5th. I've only lost 11 lbs so far. I need to start walking. I have a hard time getting going because I have neuropathy down my whole right leg into my foot. I know that if I start walking I'll loose more weight.

I'm half way through my 5th week. Graduated from puree to minced chicken. I make a high protein mac salad with a little bit of cut up pasta, a little Shredded cheese, minced chicken, hard boiled egg and low fat mayo. After puree, if tastes like a gourmet meal. I also was craving veggies. I made a summer squash, zucchini, mushroom saute today.

That sounds so good. I’ve been craving vegetables too. I can’t wait to eat them.

I had soft green beans and carrots, it was so good. Had anybody thought about the Lego buns, keto hot dogs or Leto street tacos? I’ve had the street tacos and it was so good. I’m in the beginning of my 5th week.

Man, I'm just going into my 4th week and eating mashed potatoes and started with tuna and I'm reading that y'all are eating green beans, carrots, shredded cheese, and pasta?! I'm jealous... lol

I ate a spoonful of sauce and cheese from the lasagna that my family is having for dinner and felt guilty.. lol

Lol I’ve tried alot of things lol but of course it’s all small portions. Everything’s good so far.

Hi Everyone! I was sleeved on 6/26...and had an unexpected hiatal hernia repair done at the same time. Gotta love a 2-for-1! Down almost 30lbs since my high on 6/1...have been surprised by the level of hunger though post-op and may have suggested to my surgeon that he didn't take enough stomach out ?. Started purees last Thursday...loving cottage cheese...thankfully no issues with hydration. Heading back to work tomorrow, which has me a bit nervous especially since i am so focused on my food intake still. Wishing everyone well!!

I had my VSG on June 19th, so I am almost 30 days out. Is anyone else having struggles in the mornings, with weakness or dizziness? I get all my protein and liquids in every day.

I feel fatigue like every 4 days and I don’t know why.
