    Your blog is awesome and inspiring! You are doing so well! I haven't had near the problems you have had post op so far. It is bad when I forget my nexium then I am living on eating tums! No food in the two week program have made me sick except that I am SICK of protein shakes, yogurt and mashed potatoes. Btw, best mashed potatoes are frozen oreida nuke in the bag! I am not a huge sweet eater so the shakes and yogurt are nasty by now.... I can't wait to workout! I am big on classes... They are at a set time and I don't have to motivate or think except to go to the class! I love what the one lady said... When was the last time you lost 25 lbs this quick? I would say you need to just eat! Don't limit your calories! It will come off if you feed your body! It needs fuel! I go to Chang Tues. A.m. So far I am down 12lbs and I am thrilled! Take care!

    Hi Lulu, I tried to click on your blog, but it said that the link is broken. Good luck with your surgery. I'm researching right now, I have a friend who goes under in mid-November.

    I think i got you confused with somebody else and thought you were having surgery tomorrow. Maybe i just have you on my mind! Hope you are ok

    I know what you mean about feeling normal re: eating some real food. It's not like I want to eat unhealthy foods, just a glass of milk, some yogurt and the yummy cream of potato soup (lol) sounds great. The clear liquids are just hard, but I find green tea with a little splenda is the best for me. I wish you luck and will be anxious to hear how you're doing.

    Had my surgery on July 20 and I'm still having trouble with the gas too. I've taken Gas X strips, as someone on this sight suggested, and it helps. I'm also taking a Prilosec prescribed by the doctor. I am also feeling sick to my stomach and hard to get down the liquids. Wishing I could slee away this phase and wake up trying out some foods from phase 2..lol.. I'm not hungry, just tired of not chewing. The incisions are alright and I put a pillow near my side when I sleep and it seems to work.

    My incisions feel pretty good now but it took a good 2 weeks for them to feel like they were healing. I still have a bit of a burning pain in my lower abdomen muscle when i turn a certain way especially when i am laying on my side but thank god i can sleep on my side now.... i really missed that! I hope you feel better! You will.. i guess it just takes time. Probably about 7 days post op i started feeling human again.

3 Months Post-Op and 47 lbs down.

by Lulu on 10-19-2011 at 02:59 PM
Just wanted to give a quick update on what's been going on and how I am progressing.

First thing, 45 more pounds to lose and I am at my goal weight. WOW. I just can't believe that in 3 months I am basically half way there. I just can't describe the pride I am feeling.

I have had many ups and downs, both physically and mentally. Last time I wrote I made the decision that I was going to basically "let go" a little and just live life. It really has helped!!

10 weeks post-op....40 lbs down!!!

by Lulu on 09-28-2011 at 11:47 AM
Hey everyone!! Just wanted to give a quick update....

I have lost 40 lbs since my surgery (10 in this past month!) I am still working on my unhealthy relationship with food. I had a follow up with my doctor and he made the following suggestions for me:

1) do cardio once a week (I had been doing it twice a wk)
2) lift weights 3 or 4 times a week (he put a heavy emphasis on this)
3) drink a glass of milk once a day between meals (I should have been doing

17 days post-op, stage II diet

by Lulu on 08-06-2011 at 04:21 PM
Hello everyone! Just wanted to give an update on my progress. I am a little over 2 weeks post op & I've lost 25 lbs! Very surprised by this!! My goal was to lose 20-25 lbs by 1 month post-op. Exactly 2 wks post-op I was cleared for soft mushy foods. I've been eating scrambled eggs, chicken salad (finely blended) and beans. My intake is about 1/2 cup 3 times a day. I think the weight loss has really progressed since starting foods. I was cleared to start working out. My doctor suggested I

4 days post op

by Lulu on 07-23-2011 at 05:44 PM
My surgery was on Wednesday and went very well. The surgeon told my Mom that my stomach is now the size of a golf ball. I was very miserable Thursday. My Morphine pump was making me really sick. Every time I got up to walk I would get really sick. I ended up throwing up several times and could not hold anything down. I was released Friday afternoon feeling much better, but still in pain. Since I've been at home I have been up moving around and able to hold down jello, protein shakes and yogurt.
