I am 3 1/2 months post op and the amount I can eat fluctuates, but it all seems to be more than I "should" be able to eat. I do know for certain it is still so much less and better than before surgery. My calorie intake fluctuates between 700 and 1200. I have lost a total of 42 lbs, including my pre-op weight loss. I'm certain that I have been and will continue to be a slow loser, but I am a loser none the less. I sleep better now, my ankles no longer swell, I am so much more comfortable in my skin.

I am now 3 weeks and 2 days out (december15). I tried my first Starbucks 11 days out. It was a tall skinny vanilla latte with soy milk and an extra pump of sf syrup. After my 2 week post op check up, I moved to the same latte with regular skim milk. I have not finished a coffee, but it goes down well and sure does hit the spot.

I had surgery on December 15th also. I lost 12 pounds pre-op and I lost 11 by my 2 week check up on December 28th. My doctor moved me to full liquids at that time. I woke up the next morning 2 lbs heavier and I have now been stuck for a full week. It's pretty frustrating.
