 I am happy to report I am on the losers bench again. I am almost 2 months out from surgery and I didn't lose anything for about 2 weeks and I was worried I was doing something wrong. My Dr. told me I was doing fine and not to worry my body needed time to catch up and repair from surgery. He was right lol. 

 i went for my one month checkup yesterday and all is going great. The dr. is pleased with my 26 lb weight loss since surgery. I am finally getting to eat soft foods but I am taking it slow. I have been able to eat some tuna and I had an egg with cheese this morning. It is funny how little it takes to make me happy. I posted 2 new pics to show my progress. I didn't think I looked much different until I compared my last picture wow what a diference. 

 wow I didnt know how hard yesterday was going to be for me. I am 21 days postop and still on full liquid diet. when we went to our relatives house for dinner I told myself I would be ok BUT when everyone sat down to eat I started crying and had to go outside while they ate. Is this normal or am I being stupid. I was ok after everyone was done but wow that was hard. I am mad at myself for getting upset because I know I am doing something to better my health but at the same time I am sick ofbeing able to only drink my meals. I miss chewing lol. 

I went for my 2 week checkup today. Dr. said I was doing a great job. He took out my staples. He told me to continue my full liquid diet and walking. I am up to about 1/6 of a mile every morning now. I still have to have the Gtube in until January 5th( my next appt.) Even though I am not using it. According to the scales I am down 17.5 lbs since surgery. I was shocked when I stepped on the scale. I am catching a head cold and trying OTC meds before having to go to the Dr.

Today is day five from my surgery date. I am feeling pretty good but confused. I am really not sure how I am supposed to eat or get the amount of stuff in they require. For the last couple of days I have been taking in 30cc every 20 min. or so like they told me at the hospital. But I have read on here other ppl that r same day out as me being able to eat 3 oz. at a time. So fpr breakfast I tried 3 oz. of protein shake over a 20 minute period of time and I didn;t get sick, so I figure I did ok. I have only been drinking water and protein shake to try to get in as much as I can. How r other ppl getting more and different foods in? I need some help as to what I am doing wrong or am I doing it right?

I am having a real hard time dealing with the 2 week liquid diet we have to be on. I have been on for 6 days now and have 8 more to go. I am sooooooooooo hungry all the time and I am soooooooo sick of broth and sugar free jello. I am determined I am going to make it I just wish I could wake up and it be my surgery day. Anybody else feel this way?

I am getting ready for my surgery and I am so nervous but excited and ready at the same time. I will be starting my 2 week liquid the week of Thanksgiving lol.
