Thanks for the advice guys. I hear what you're all saying, but it is still upsetting knowing how hard this all is. I even told my wife last night that I "miss my stomach". I'd love to be able to eat a slice of pizza. I'm sure I'll look back and probably won't even remember this, and it does seem like a normal thing that people go through, so I won't stress about it too much. Someone in the forum said that as fat cells shrink, they fill up with water. Then, all of a sudden they let go of the water. True or not, I'm accepting that explanation, eases my mind a bit.

I went through the same thing. Who knows why....and I agree it's very frustrating. But I figure our bodies are doing a lot of adjusting and stabilizing right now so anything can be expected. Hang in there, it gets back on track. I just went to Europe for 2 weeks, didn't have a single croissant or piece of chocolate, or a plate of pasta (SO wrong in Italy) - totally stuck to plan, walked miles and miles each day, and came home 2 lbs heavier. Go figure. But I'm sticking with it, I know it will readjust. Good luck to you.

hey there! I get my surgery on dec 13th.. I can eat mushy 24 hrs after surgery... its interesting how different doctors have different guidelines
