Topic: RE: 3 week post op appt/What are you eating and your weight! Am I on the right track!
Its so funny...Im almost three weeks out...and maybe Im not being so super careful---you keep reading from others..."I can eat anything" since there is no restriction...Im being careful in some regards but Im eating mostly everything...last nite I had some stew and the other night some chicken thigh pieces..and just chewing...this morning I went to starbucks and had a regular coffee..I indulged and got a breakfast sandwich and just ate the sausage and the egg...not the english muffin (ok---maybe 1/2 of a 1/2) ...but heck..compared to how I was eating over a month ago this is fabulous...I started at 248 and now the scale says something like 219...So I should be celebrating right??I think we need to remember to not push pressure on ourselves to drop drop drop...6 weeks on liquid is wacko tho...if you do that--heck who NEEDS the surgery to lose.. I am nervous because tonight is my staff holiday party with pizza...and I really want some..and now Im mad because I had that breakfast...we cant be afraid that every bite is goign to ruin it all can we?? I have my first follow up tomorrow..sheesh--I cant believe a dr. would seem "dissapointed"..

25 lbs is great, especially considering you are a light weight compared to many. I have lost 20 lbs in 3 weeks and 45 total from 2.5 months of surgery prep.

I'm three weeks out today. I haven't weighed myself in the past week but @ two weeks out I had lost 11 lbs. I lost 28 before my surgery. I've got 70 lbs left to go to get to my goal. I started eating high protien soft two weeks after so this past week I've been eating: chicken, cooked carrots, some mashed potatoes, eggs, cotttage cheese, and ham. Of course I chew chew chew. I do have one high protein drink a day usually for breakfast but I find I'm hungry mid morning so I will have a yogurt or boiled egg. I live for my sugar free popsicles and for sugar free chocolate milk. I think that 25 lbs in three weeks is excellant. Maybe your doc was having an off day and you may have read him the wrong way. I'm assuming you have a NUT...I would talk to them about it. Maybe your doc has his reasons for putting you on liquids for six weeks...we have to remember that we are all different even though we are all going through some of the same things. Good Luck to you and Chin Up.

Hi surgery sister. My RNY was also on 11/17 with a starting weight of 341. With a current weight of 320, I glad that we are on the right track. Just wondering, are you still experiencing some pain on the left side of your stomach? Congrats on a job well done.

Hi Cheryl...
I'm sorry I didn't reply sooner. The Tide-Me-Over drink has 30 calories for a 16.9 ounce serving.
Take care... ~Marci

On this past Tuesday, I was 2 weeks out and 14 lbs down. I lost 12 in the first week and only 2 the following week. I need to start walking more and hopefully it will start falling off. I would love to fit into these pants that I bought a couple of years ago and have never worn bc they were too tight. I am already down from a very, very, very tight 28 to a loose 24! Whoo hooo! I would love to lose 6 lbs this week to be down to 20 gone by my 3 week anniversary...I am having problems today drinking and eating. It feels like everything I put in my mouth wants to come back up but nothing does. Hopefully that will go away soon!

When I walk on the treadmill, I walk for 15 minutes at 2 mph, twice a day. Its not fast, but steady...and with no incline at this time. When I walk outside I try for 20 minutes, but its been so cold and wet here in Indiana, I just usually do the treadmill.
