2 weeks post op and ONEderland!!
I have officially hit ONEderland! I had my doctor appointment this morning and their scale said 198! (Though my scale said 196 ) Anyways my doctor said it seems like I was doing great and told me to keep up the good work. I have been released to start pureed foods. He wants me on that for 2 months though. Which wow seems crazy long. But I am just so excited that I don't care lol. I don't go bac****il 2 months from now too.
He also told me that I was cleared for everything else not food related. So basically he said I could start strength training with no restrictions... This actually surprised me, I figured I wouldn't be cleared for weights for a few more weeks... I don't want to pull anything but he said I was all cleared.
Anyways I was super excited and wanted to share. I also had some scrambled eggs with milk and cheese earlier and feel great. I of course ate less that 2tbsp but stopped when I felt restriction like I was told. Let me tell you it felt amazing to be able to have some real food after a month of nothing but liquids. I think I've went on long enough! Sorry for rambling!!

Congrats on a good appointment and hitting onederland! Did you take a picture of your scale? I still look at mine in awe occasionally . It's just a little reminder of where I've come from.
2 months does seem like a really long time. I had the RNY so maybe the VSG is different. I had my WLS Oct. 15th and was allowed real food the week of Thanksgiving.

God is walking with me every step of the way. Because of HIM this is possible!!

No, but that is a GREAT idea! Maybe I will do that in the morning!
I also thought it seemed really long. I thought it was supposed to be 6 weeks but apparently longer. I am thinking maybe he does it that long and then skips the soft food part and goes onto normal? I have no idea. Guess I will find out. Then come to find out the woman up front actually scheduled me to where it comes out to 10 weeks instead of 8 :( He said I can't move on until I see him. She said she did that because it puts me close to my 3 month post op

Congratulations!! That is a long time on pureed, but if that's what the dr. ordered.. :) Just remember to try to make all your meals high in protein and low in carb... and you can put almost anything in a blender and puree it! I have seen so many people just eat a lot of mashed potatoes on the pureed diet and that isn't the way you want to go. Ground beef with some taco season will puree as well as turkey salad! :)
