30 lbs lost!
I am 3 1/2 weeks postop and hit the 30 lbs lost mark this morning (actually 30.5 lbs 
). It is not all smooth sailing, but I am healing and starting to tolerate some pureed foods (keeping it to 1/4 cup at a time and no bread at all-- when I ate a pureed "cheeseburger" following a recipe from Barix about 1/2 hour later my stomach was so bloated and uncomfortable for 2 hours. Talked to dietician next day and she said bread can swell in your stomach as it absorbs fluid.) Feeling stronger little by little. I hope all the rest of you are having a good day and blessings to all.

Valerie, congratulations on the 30 lb loss!!! 
That's wonderful news! I will be interested to find out how much I have lost at my PCP office on Tuesday. I'd be very pleased with 10 lbs! I'm also dying for real food...even the pureed type! I have a long way to go though. I don't move to stage III until the 28th. Ugh! 10 more days of cream of wheat and broth!!! Oh well, I'll make it.
Have a great Saturday!
