Update

I had my surgery October 15th and started at 280 the day of surgery. I maxed out at 302 prior to starting this journey. I am a little over 2 months out and I weighed in at 232 this morning. Right out of surgery I was loosing about 1 pound a day and now it is slowing down to tenths a day but still dropping. My most recent NSV is that last year I went ziplining an purchased two XL t shirts and they were very tight. I can now comfortably wear them. I uploaded some updated photos.

You are doing great - looked at your photos and you can really see that the weight has dropped dramatically!

NSVs are great, aren't they?!    And it's only going to get better.

Thanks. about 16 months ago I started taking head shots once a month. I went down, then up and now down. check it out  http://youtu.be/G9OMb2tsm20

What a great idea!  I have two pre-op pictures, and they're not even at my highest weight.  I should update them now - I still have a way to go, but the pictures would be a moral booster.  Down from size 32 pants to 24, and 3X "big shirts" to XL. Didn't take pre-op measurements either.  I knew I'd regret it, and I do.

Congratulations on your progress to date.

Holy crap! That's nearly 50 pounds in 2 months. *whistles* Nice work.

You look great, very inspiring.  I am starting pureed foods today my gastric sleeve surgery was Mon 12/08.  I am very excited to move from the liquid diet.  You mentioned scrambled eggs, this is ok in the pureed stage?  Trying to find recipes for pureed foods.  I am going to make the split pea soup today.  

Post surgery, this was something I loved. I lightly scrambled 2 eggs, added a little low fat cheese. Put it in my nutribullet, added a tablespoon of salsa and blended. This is something to definitely test and make sure your stomach can tollerate it. One thing that was heavenly was pureed chicken salad. I used the Purdue Italian seasoned precooked chicken strips, onion and a little mayonaise. I used some chicken broth to make it a little wattery. Remeber to take your time and measure, measure, measure. You can easily overeat and it will feel terrible. When I had the eggs, initially I was only able to get about 2 to 3 oz down before I started feeling some pressure in my chest. When I made the pea soup, I used three hamhocks. I also made some chili and pureed it. Being that we are only able to eat 4 oz of food, I want what I eat to be savory and protein dense. One thing I noticed post surgery is that my taste changed a little bit and I cannot stand anything real sweet. I loved the Chike shakes but cannot tollerate them now. 

Thank you for the tips, very much appreciated!  I have had a hard time getting the shakes down too after surgery, pretty much lived on the bullion & greek yogurt.  After the surgery I felt like gagging every time I tried to get one of those shakes down.  I will try the eggs tomorrow sounds good.
