Followup with doctor this morning

     Today I am 10 daze out from my surgery day and feeling pretty darn good. Had my first apointment since surgery this morning and lost 16 lbs! Whoo Hoo! OK, so all the doubt I was feeling about this working for me have subsided...atleast for now.       I've introduced creamy soups, cream of wheat (with milk & protein, of course) and that all is sitting well in my tummy. Doctor says to move on to pureed foods cautiously but I am free to try very small portions of just one new food a day, as long as I'm feeling good and tummy feels able to tolerate it. See how I do before moving on to something else.       I'm very excited! Bought some FF refried beans today. Can't believe that excites me, but it does. May try some later.      So that's the news for today. Hope you all have a spectacular weekend. xoxo Mare

YAY Mare!!!!  16 pounds is FREAKING AWESOME!  I am so so proud of you! I remember when I bought Wendy's Chili and pureed it in my magic bullet.  I was SOOOO good!  You enjoy those beans girl!

YAY!!!!!!!!! I'm so proud of you. :) I'm glad things are going well. I wish I could introduce something new. I'm tired of liquids. I see my doctor on Wednesday....so it won't be long. Eat some beans for me! :) Becky

Mare -  Congrats! You loser! lol I cant wait to have more than clear liquids but given my current gaseous state...I think I'd stay away from the refried beans. lol Eat 'em up girl and we'll form a band! lol Take Care!

Wow Mare!

16 lbs! That's just fantastic! What a wonderful start to your journey to a healthier you! I know what you mean about being excited about eating something as mundane as refried beans. I just loved mine when I was able to enjoy them. It was soooo goood to have something that wasn't sweet. Never thought I'd hear those words coming out of my mouth.

Keep up the great work dear! You'll be walking the beach in a swimsuit sooner than you think!

Love,

Barb
