HUGE congratulation! That's fantastic results. Can you share what type of puree's you've made... all the stuff i think of i remember making for my son and thinking at the time... eewww! I go to puree tomorrow and would love to know what you've done. I'm waiting to see the inches come off - i'm 12 days post op and i've lost nearly 16 pound but can't see where from and it's frustrating me!

In Feb 2014 I decided to do weight loss surgery took option class with Kaiser in Orange , After completing the 12 step which end up in end of May I was all ready to meet with my surgeon and set up pre op and surgery date of 7/16/2014 . My highest weight was 260 day of surgery 247 & today I am 228.9 a little over 30lb weight loss but I have lost a lot of inches I had no problem with pain, gas & nausea or vomiting and after first week I was told by my surgeon to start puree food for 6 week . It has been a little over 3 weeks but I already feel great and fit into the clothes that I was wearing 2 years ago and I feel great.

Owjo11 - Well done and an overall 30 lb loss is a good loss! Thanks for sharing your story, I particularly like the ones that have no pain, gas or nausea, gives me hope for my surgery on October 24. Keep us updated please....

I bought the Gas X strips and as soon as I got into my room I put one in my mouth and used 2 box and never felt any problem with gas after so make sure to buy one and take it with to the hospital .
