Well, it’s been almost exactly 7 months since my surgery. This morning, I stepped on the scale (like I do everyday) and I was one pound under my goal weight! I stood there, and just stared at th

I just had an appointment with my Dr, and he is concerned that I am not able to eat enough calories in a day. I am still only able to eat very small amounts of food (3-1/2 months post op). I also am unable to tolerate raw vegetables or any dense prote

Hi all. I have been seriously craving chocolate! Does anyone have any good ideas to help satisfy this craving without adding too many calories? My chocolate protein shake is not doing the trick.

I am about 1 month out from surgery. In total, I have lost 37lbs. However, I haven’t lost anything in the past week, and today I gained a pound! How is that possible? I’m eating on plan, and I even do cardio at the gym 5 times a week. I have r

I’m 2+ weeks out from surgery, and my surgeon just gave me the ok to move to soft foods. I was so excited to eat actual food that I overdid it! Nothing bad for me (veggies and ground chicken), but I ate too much. I am in so much pain right now! I

Hi all! I’m one week post op, and am feeling really great. Most of my pain is gone, and I am able to walk as much as I like. Also, I can drink water really well...I’m up to about 80 0z per day. The thing is...I am hungry! I’m supposed to star

Hi Everyone. I'm new to this forum, and I have my surgery scheduled for tomorrow. I'm a bit nervous because I have never had surgery before. But, I'm excited about the future. Any words of advice for someone who is just starting this journey?
