3 week appointment!

I had my follow up appointment with the surgeon and NUT and it went well! 

I'm down a total of 30lbs, 22 since surgery and 8 during the pre op. The surgeon seemed very pleased!  He said my incisions are healing great and I'm cleared for the gym, etc (minus heavy lifting).

And i have been advanced to stage 4 which is pureed food,  soft food,  grounds. I'll be on this stage for five weeks,  but there's so much more variety!  I made a chili in my crockpot last night and let it slow cook overnight and all today. That should feed me for roughly a year. 

I'm feeling good! Getting all my protein and water in,  happy the scale and inches are moving. 

I was worried because I'm considered a "lightweight" and didn't know how my body would respond. So far so good! 

Congratulations!  You must have had surgery around when I did (1/30).  It's interesting to see what different surgeons recommend.  I've been on pureed foods since day #8 and expect to be moved to regular food at the 4 week visit (I"m still paranoid about damaging the sleeve, so will likely continue softish foods).  Way to go!

Thank you!  And yes i had surgery on 1/27. The variance in programs is definitely interesting.  How are you tolerating pureed? 

CONGRATS! Where did you have your surgery. IM LOOKING FOR A SURGEON THAT TAKES MEDICAID

Wow! Great progress!!

Great progress!! 

That's awesome!  I had surgery 1/28 and have my 1 month follow-up on Monday.  My 1 wk follow-up went great but I've hit the dreaded stall (although I'm still losing inches so I'm not complaining!).

You're doing great!  That's awesome your getting your protein and water in this early in the game.  Congratulations!
