I'm 5 weeks out. I've been stalled for 2 weeks, which I know from reading on here is very typical, but it's still incredibly frustrating and a real head game.

I'm 6.5 weeks post Op. Down 35 lbs and so many inches that I'm thrilled. I am swimming laps and jogging for an hour a day. Loving exercise because I'm amazed and thrilled at how much my body can do now!! Breakfast every day is a Protein Shake. Without that, I don't get enough Protein into my day.

I still struggle to get all my Water in but I'm working on it.

I am almost 8 weeks post op. I have lost about 40lbs without exercise (I start Water aerobics tomorrow). At my 6 week check up two weeks ago I was scolded because I don't eat enough and I have lost too much weight. In fact, I have lost another 10lbs since I last saw the doctor; she isn't going to be happy with me.

It takes me about a hour to drink a Protein shake and the only one I can tolerate right has 14g of Protein (in comparison to premier which has 30g). I eat so little that I try to make it count so I will eat meat/eggs and try to snack on nuts and cheese. Then fruits and vegetables. Let's take today for example: I tried to make myself a Protein Drink but my kid drank it all so I had some Water. For lunch I had a small apple, again shared with my kid. About 3 hours later I started on my Protein Drink and finished it. A couple of hours later I had an egg and about 6 grapes. When I got home from work I had 4 slices of sausage (size of a quarter) and 6 penne Pasta. I say all of that to say: I am a work in progress.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
