Well actually on the 15th it will be two months if you count the liver shinking diet.

Yes, I don't know..my body has always been like that. You take food away and it shrinks fast. You give me food and boy do I gain super fast. I eat all my meals so I don't really know how to explain the rest.

I am a little over a month out. I can tell you that I too was nervous that I would gain weight when I was released to go on solids. Your body will take its time to adjust but the weight will continue to come off as long as you do what the doctor says. Eat 4oz a meal and eat the foods that will help you body not hurt it. I am down 39 since my surgery and a total of 58 since the liver shinking diet.

Arnetta, when do you get your fill?

Hey Arnetta, thank you so much and yes you are allowed to say that..lol. Don't be jealous because you will be there soon.

I am praying for you..stay positive.

Thanks all, @ Pooh plus size, I just did what the doctor told me to do and I only eat 40z exactly a meal. I have not really worked out because of my leg but I just stop when I finish my portions. Cheetah that is still good weight because think about it, you probably would have gained that plus more so keep you head up. All I can say is eat the right foods and walk as much as you can. If I find anything else that would help I will post it.

Hello all, I have been reading some of your post and trying to keep up. I hope everyone is doing great. The journey has been great so far, somedays better than others. I had my surgery on September 29th and I would like to report that I am down 58 pounds as of today. I also recieved my first fill and I was a little nervous because I did not know what to expect. It was not bad at all. I have a total of 5cc's in my band and I will be on liquids until tuesday. Please keep pushing and never give up. Something that I have realize is that you may not see the weight right away but one day you will see it just fall off and you will be happy. Let me know how you are doing and I look forward to hearing from you all. :rolleyes:

Good Job and keep up the great work.

I have to respond to this. I have been feeling the same way. I have cried and wondered why I did this to myself. This has been a little hard..not the surgery but the emotional side. I wanted to eat. This made me also realize my attachement to food. I felt like a little kid pouting. I thought I was the only one going through this but it has been a little difficult. I know my stomach cannot handle it but my mind wants all of it. I associated food with everything. But it is getting better. OH MY goodness, especially during the time of the month I cried and had cravings out of this world. Be encouraged Arnetta, we are in this together. Let's take it one day at a time.

I am so glad that I saw this post. I am dreaming of food all the time and find myself watching the cooking channel alot. My mouth has been watering for some chicken and a sub. But I am not even that hungry, I just want it. I also find myself wanted to smell everyone's food and it actually satisfies me..wierd..lol. So you are not the only one. I know it is just my mind but I started the process and can't turn back now. I am just ready for some Soup or something. I am 7 days post-op.

You will do okay. I lost 19lbs on the preop and now I am on the post diet. It will be okay before you know it and you will look back and amazment on how you did.

I see that you had the plication and wanted to see how you were doing with that. I also had the plication and lapband on Sept. 29th.

@SuzieinTexas, I will keep you updated. Oh and keep me informed of your journey, you will make it.

Thank you Pooh plus size. I was feeling energy that day but whooooo the next day it felt like I got hit by a train...lol. How are you? Thank you Arnetta, I just read your blog and I happy that you are feeling okay. I have to admit, I did have a day where I thought, "Why did I do this" but I guess it is normal. It is our emotional side working on us. By day two I really had an emotional breakdown and my boyfriend was concerned..Probably was overwhelmed with everything. The second day I just left the hospital and my car would not start, it was just a mess. So I had to go home and sleep this off and I mean I slept. It is getting better and better and I am not really that sore. I do have gas but no gas in my shoulders or chest, just mainly when I drink anything.
