BMJ

I added some carbs since i usually dont eat too much to trick the body and it worked for me, went to eat and got potatoe salad, and sum sweet potatoes only had a few bites did that for two days and it worked like a charm, I weighed in and gained like 2 pounds next day i went back to my normal protein routine and exercise and within like two days 10 pounds gone!!!

To be honest right after surgery I was starving, I was on Clear liquids for 1 wk and thought I was going to die, but I made it and did not cheat I thought for a second my dr. didnt remove enough of my stomach or something i had no feeling of fullness just an empty hungry feeling so it was hell in my opinion, but after that the second week i moved up to pureed foods which i really didnt puree i just chewed really well and found out the hard way I have a new stomach couldnt even eat a whole scrambled egg after that I've been fine ever since!

Wassup carbgrl good job on the loss just stay motivated thats the key, and btw I'm from Fort Worth (Funky Town!!!!) but live in VA now but hopefully coming home in June love my city cant wait to get back in the DFW!!!

Can someone please tell me if having problems urinating is common after surgery? Im two months out and use to go like a race horse, now maybe twice a day and I am drinking water all day. I've heard about having problems with #2 but not #1, im having problems with both which is kind of scary so is this common or weird?

Alright cool are stories sound pretty much the same, so nice to meet you and I wish you the best on your journey, I am feeling normal eating mostly protein been kinda strict on my self and of course small amounts, but back in the day I would eat until i felt like i was gonna bust so its a major mind change im still eating too fast right now, and Im in the gym 4 days a week so all is well!!!

I didnt have a preop diet so I ate everything in sight until 1 day before, after surgery was hell on liquids so maybe the preop is good for getting you in the right mindset, im 2 months out and everything is cool now!

I'm new here and wanted to see who had their surgery around the same time I did, meet some new friends and see how you are doing along with whats been working well for you! I had my surgery Feb. 8, 2012 no pre-op diet except for day before and my weight was 407, last weigh in was April 13,2012 and I weighed 351 so overall I'm cool with the results so far in two months. Hit me up and let me know how your doing.
