Month post op appointment

Hi January Buddys, Today was my month check up and everything went great. I've lost a total of 37 pounds. I'm also okay to progress to soft foods, everything except popcorn, nuts, salad, fresh fruits & veggies. I'm so excited. So how is everyone else doing? Carly

I can eat popcorn in another month. I only really eat that when I'm at the theater. My first meal was apricots out of the can, I've been craving some fruit.

Thats fantastic Carly!!!! Weigh to go! Good luck for month #2! Thats interesting how you can't have fruit or veggies....... I would think some would be "soft," like bananas???? dunno. Have a great day! jaci

I think it might be the natural sugars that fruit possesses. I know that I can't have fruit until 6 weeks out.

My doc says no to fruits and dairy because they have too much sugar. Hopefully he just means temporarily because i like both.

Congrats Carly! We have lost the same amount of weight. I can't wait for mushy food. I think I will have tuna salad or chicken salad.mmmmmmmmmmm I have 1 1/2 weeks to go.

Congratulations on the weight loss Keep up the great work! Kay

Carly, 37lbs that is awesome!! Congrats! I'm looking forward to progressing to the next stage. Full liquids are better than clear, but I'm ready to move on. lol Chele

Chele~ I thought I would share one of my pleasures I had during my full liquid stage. I'm assuming you can have cream of wheat; well I would add 1/2 teaspoon smart balance butter and 1/2 teaspoon splenda brown sugar. I didn't know that splenda made brown sugar so I was excited when I saw it in the store. Dawn

Dawn, Thanks! I am having some for dinner, in fact. C.O.W. with Splenda brown sugar and I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Spray. Chele
