No real pain as far as the actually surgical sites, there is pressure in your upper chest once they start making you drink Water in the hospital.

Hello I had surgery on January 17th my starting weight was 256 current weight 188, total weight loss 68lbs, and to get to my goal of 165 I need to lose another 23lbs seems so hard because the first 68lbs was so easy. I’m noticing a slowdown and at first I did not incorporate as much exercise as I should have but lately I’ve been adding a daily dose of Zumba to get my cardio up I don’t focus too much on caloric intake but I make sure that I eat three meals a day that include mainly Protein which I always eat first if I am able to eat anything else after completing my protein then I do which is my vegetable and a fruit, my Snacks are typically two per day and are high in protein and my only drink is 64+ ounces of Water with the exception of coffee a few times a week with Creamer added when I feel the need to splurge.

I'm only four months out and I have noticed if I don't get my Water in I have issues with feeling "hungry" when I really shouldn't be. In my case I think it has to do with me actually being thirsty. And i do agree with the post above Protein dense foods will last longer and eliminate that hungry feeling as well.
