I live on tea now, that is about all I drink. For the past 3 months, all I have had is about 4 glasses of water, and the rest is either tea, cold or hot, and SOBE water. I was a two liter a day diet coke. I thought, I would never make it with out my diet and cigs, but 5 months out and I'm still alive, and so happy. You will be two

surgery 12/12/11

I am a OR nurse so I have a little experience in post op problems. First and foremost is just because this was done with out a large incision, this was still major surgery. ALL MAJOR PROCEDURES TAKE TIME.....Four weeks out is still very much in the recuperating stage. As so many have said, stalls are not uncommon. I too had a little depression afterwards when I would think that what I have done is for ever, that all does go away. I am 5 mos. out and eat what ever I want (of course that amounts to about 3 bites at a setting). But the thing is at this point I don't feel like I am on a diet. I have lost 65 lbs. and now am losing about 2-3 lbs. a week. Try to get the majority of your protein in so you feel good and then my advise is do not deprive yourself if you want something. Remember no matter what you grave it will only be a bite or two so enjoy it in moderation. Good luck, believe me this will all even out. Of course if physical symptoms continue and get worse get medical help.

I'm happy things are working out for you, I really enjoyed and laughed while reading your blog, keep your spirts high, and you will do great. Kathy
