Hi Melissa! So glad to hear you're doing well and tolerating food! I'm not having trouble with anything new that I try to eat--very pleased so far. My weight loss is at a snail's pace, but it's gotta come off eventually! Keep up the good work!

Hey Melissa! Can I say i'm envious......i would love to have a bite of anything not liquid.....LOL! I'm glad your doing well and that your on soft foods. Its kinda weird isn't it that the full feeling has changed completely so it is hard to tell (at least for me) if i'm full or not. Your weight loss is great! Have people been saying anything yet about your weightloss? I am still wondering if it is all real. I mean really this kind of weight loss is so strangely easy that its hard to believe. Anyway....i could chatter on for hours probably because i'm just so darn excited for all of us! I'm glad all is well

hi Melissa things went pretty good today am back to work.... hope your doing good too...... am still on liquids till this wed keep in touch

Hey Melissa thanks for stopping by to check on me. How are you doing? Are you able to get in all of your liquids and protein? Are you feeling dizzzy or sick to your stomach? As for me I'm doing really great now. I'm five days post op and really not having any issues other than not being able to get all my protein in. I'm not in pain and my stomach is tolerating everything I put in it. OMG i'm already down nine pounds which is way better than I ever expected.

So glad to hear you're doing well! I have added thicker soup, soft cheese, and applesauce so far. Just trying to be very careful.

Just checking in ... how are you feeling?

OH and everything went well with my actual surgery, and yours?

Hello! I am doing well. Just have gas pains here and there. I came home today. I feel like I'm starving and my stomach is growling constantly, but I'm wondering if it's gas bubbling in my stomach? I don't know what's going on. How are you doing?

At 6 days I felt really good, and over-did it. The next two days I spent recouperating. My advice would be even if you think you can take on the world, take it easy on yourself and give your body time to heal. Today was my 3 week surgiversary, and I don't hurt at all. Hope this helps

That's GREAT news! How long will you be in the hospital? And what did your doctor give you for post-op diet?

Congrats on your surgery. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

You have really helped to put me at ease! Thank you!

Yes, please do! I was scared and nervous, and even at less than 3 weeks out, I'm so happy I did this for myself. Big Hug!

Best wishes and positive thoughts going out for your upcoming surgery! Congratulations on your decision.
