ErinRed Posted August 25, 2010 Report Posted August 25, 2010 So I am officially off of my 21 day liquid post op diet! I have been waiting for this day for, well, for 21 days. The kicker is that I was so dang busy at work today that I did not get a lunch break so no food! I am having a little snack of grilled chicken breast strips right now though. We were going to go out for steaks (little ones) tonight to celebrate but I am so tired after the busy day I had. The awesome news is that I am down to 167 lbs today! Pre surgery weight was 170. So I am pretty stoked right now! Congrats to me!

Keeping my fingers crossed for you.
Kristi Posted August 26, 2010 Report Posted August 26, 2010 ErinRed, Congrats on making it through the 21 days. I agree with Canuk, steak might be heavy for a first meal. However, make sure whatever you eat you actually cut the meat/food into tiny tiny nibbles and then eat chew it very well. Take Care and let us know what you ended up doing for your first meal.
ErinRed Posted August 27, 2010 Author Report Posted August 27, 2010 Well we ended up not going out. We stayed home and hubby make pasta and meatballs for the kids. I had two meatballs and a small salad and was very happily full and content! The thing I have been craving the most is meat, so the meatballs worked out good for me.

So I am pretty stoked right now! Congrats to me! Erin!!!! Congrats, I'm right behind you girl... I have one more day. I am thinking of grilled cheese though for my first meal, or big TEXAS size baked potato... tell us how it went. I'm excited for you... I am at 213 day, surgery date of 221 so doing well, but seriously... eating liquids puddings and yogurts, I would have expected to drop massive weight... So happy yes, at 213 it's the lowest weight since 2004, but wished it had been more.
ErinRed Posted August 30, 2010 Author Report Posted August 30, 2010 Momof4- Great job! I am doing well on solids but cant wait for my first fill! Once I started eating again I started to see a bit of a weight drop again, maybe my body was in what they call "starvation mode" and just needed the extra fuel. But I am down to about 155-158! Which for me is just amazing. I feel so good also, lots of energy and no bloating or constipation like I had when I ate too much carbs before surgery! I am so happy to have had this done, totally the right decision.
