I had my surgery on April 16, 07 which is almost exactly 1 yr. before yours. I have lost 136 lbs. I can't wait to see you a year from now! You are going to be so happy with your results, I just know it!!!
You are doing so well and are looking great. You had your operation the day before me, and you have lost loads more than me in that time. Keep up the good work, it will all be worth it in the end. look forward to your next update. Margaret.
thank you... I counted my pre-op stuff in there too.. I have lost 16lbs since surgery... I don't know how because I'm not doing much exercise yet.. but i think now that i am pureed foods i get full faster.... I bet you will see the results when you add exercise... :-)
You are doing so great :) Love the wig too cute :) I had to take the lovenox for 6 wks starting day after surgery so I feel your pain - literally :) I only had to stay on liquids for like a week so wasn't too bad. Once you get to eating real food then that pizza will not tempt you as much because the dough in the pizza hurts going down w/ the band - ouch - Hugs & Love, Melissa :)
I know... I always want to eat but I am getting better and knowing my limits now.. THrowing up a few times is enough to make me not ever want to do it again!
I was eating pure lowfat/lowsugar soups puree in the blender, with a spoon of mashed potatos because I needed substance. My dietician told me to stop, but it was good while it lasted :D The cravings get easier I find, and the day's and weeks pass. I don't think about food nearly as much as I used to. I do take a small bite if I really want something though. A bite gets rid of the craving for me.
thanks! It sucks being on straight liquids.... The substance is great. I had mashed potatoes today and it was like the best thing in the world. My cravings for fast food have almost completely gone away.. I think getting results make me not want to do the bad stuff anymore.
Hi, good to see a new video from you. Here is the stages I got from the hospital. Stage 1 24-48 hours Clear Liquids. Stage 2 Liquids (this included milk, protien shakes, Cream of wheat, vegi juice and eggs and cottage cheese, that was for two weeks after surgery. Stage 3 Mushy foods included cheese meat breat and vegetable but mushed up. On fifth week it started giving some solid foods. Was it the doctor or nutritionist who told you to stay on liquids? Take you advice from them.
hmmm i was told i couldn't have eggs or cottage cheese on my liquids phase.... I have been pretty much listening to what I am supposed to do because I DO NOT need to slip this band or anything... It was both the surgeon/nut that said to stick to this diet. I was just wondering because every place is different. I am 2 days from pureed phase so I have been giving it a little mushies here and there... It's hard having all liquids!
ughhh i know it sucks.... but i knew that it was gonna happen... but i am noticing that I am not gaining as much on my pd and it didn't stay on as long. I gained 3 lbs one morning and lost the the very next.. so hopefully it stays this way...
i don't find out until I go back to the doc which will be soon I hope!
