Finally had my post op!

 Congratulations on the weight loss.  That is so exciting!

I had my post-op dr's visit today too.  I am down over 20 pounds since my last dr's visit in December and down over 63 pounds since September.  

I have to be at least another week.

I graduate to pureed foods starting today.  We stopped at Whole Foods to get some Greek yogurt, some kefir, some organic soups, cage-free eggs, and some V8 type of juice.  We also stopped at Wendy's and got an order of chili.  I pureed some and feasted on 4 oz of that an hour ago.

Take care and keep up the good work!

My first "real food" was Trader Joes Chili as well. That's funny. I added cheese on the top for more protein and it was pretty good. I had my post op Monday and everything seemed fine. I am on soft foods for about the next 6 weeks. I started on them pretty soon after I left the hospital. My doctor said its fine as long as I drink 3 shakes a day still, Yuck! I can only stomach about 1 1/2 or 2. I eat a protein bar for my third. I can get my protein in ok between food, bars and shakes now, but I am still struggling with getting enough liquids. I got my gall stone prevention Rx too. It's going to be interesting timing all of these out. I may resort to scheduling out everything like I read other people do.

I had lost 11 pounds since surgery. About 35 ot 40 since I started this phase of my "project" in September. Looking forward to us all dropping more this first month!
