UPDATE!!!

I had my surgery scheduled for Dec 14th as my birthday gift to myself.  Unfortunately, my Blood Sugar was at 370 at the time the surgery was set to begin and therefore got pushed back to Dec 16th.  At the time of the surgery, I weighed 332lbs (down from 347 on Oct 31).  Spent 6 days in the hospital while my Blood Sugar came down to a respectable number.

Now that I am home, I am getting in my walking by just walking in circles around the house.  The scale at home says that as of Christmas Day, I stand at 312lbs and my Blood Sugar is steadily in the 130s - 140s (which means NO INSULIN SHOTS unless it goes to 150 and above).

The past couple of days have been really rough because I have my entire family and Mom's cooked meals around the holidays are absolutely the BEST!!!

I've stuck with the protein shakes and water.  I use the Atkins Protein Shakes (Very Tasty) and I drink water (mixed with Sugar Free Hawaiian Punch....  Even More Tasty...

I cant wait until I see my Dr on the 29th and he clears me  to eat solids and gets these damn staples out of my stomach.

I already know what I am going  to eat when he clears me...  Gonna use my Eggies to make me a hard boiled egg.  (YUMMY!!!!!)

Congrats and welcome to the other side !
Hope you get cleared to start mushy food, eggies may be too much..yougurt, cottage cheese, apple sauce. all "beginner" foods

According to my Nutritionist, after 2 weeks post op I should be able to start with an egg...

Congratulations Juan!!!!

I recall the relief of no insulin like it was yesterday.  Took my last insulin shot 09/01/09, the night before my surgery.  I still have diabetes, but can control it with diet, exercise and pills.

Enjoy this time of rapid weight loss, you should get clearance from your MD to advance your diet.  Take things one small bite at a time.  Happy Losing!!!!

Hello Juan,

I don't want to burst  you bubble but you may find that hard boiled egg hard to eat as it will be dry. I still have problems with them. You may want to buy some low fat mayonaise to mix in with your egg.

Good Luck!

Sam

Oh yes egg salad......with mayo maybe easy to get down.
or scrambled soft.

I love EGGS too
some people can't deal with them post op at all
