First Post OP Appt. (16 days Post Op)

Hey everyone. Saw my surgeon today. I have lost 21 pounds in just 16 days! WOW! I am on pureed food and can tolerate most of what I have tried. Cottage cheese seems to give me gas so I am staying away from it for another week. Doctor said to try it again next week as it is a great source of protein. I go back in two weeks (day before Thanksgiving) and can start eating regular food then. YAY!! I want some turkey. I started back to work today and am doing great. People are telling me how good I look. Let me tell you, I wanted pizza the day after my surgery and for several days after I got home. It must be my comfort food. I had a tough time one day - day 10. I was mad because my husband made this great smelling pork chop dinner and I couldn't have any. I was mad becasue my family could eat it. y husband gave me lots of hugs and told me to hang in there. I made it through that day - but it was so hard. I was so tired of drinking protein. Glad that has passed. Already my shoes are too big, my socks fall down around my ankles and I can wear shirts that I couldn't before the surgery. This is so amazing. Keep in touch! Diane

Congratulations on your weight loss. It is soooo funny that you mention pizza, I have been craving pizza since the morning of the surgery. And I was also mad that I couldn't have any of the real food. Right now my Head Hunger seems to be in check. Any way best wishes on your wl journey. Keep us posted. Lisa

YAY!!! That is awesome. I am now on what my doc calls soft foods as well. I hear ya on the pizza thing. Today I went to go get some things at the $1 store and let me tell you..there where some ladies that had opened a bag of frito chips and OMG they smelled so good. I will be so glad to be able to eat more normally soon. What saved me today is the pintos and cheese from Taco Bell.. Oh my it tastes so good. Plus I feel like I am eating something with every one else. But like they say if you want to eat like everyone else then you will have to go back to that weight. I don't know about you but I will take my limited diet any day to not be back wehre I was. CONGRATS and keep up the awesome work!!!!!
