CHELL

I'll b 4 months post op on 8/23. Honestly I haven't had any problems with eating anything I've tried thus far. Ofcourse there are lots of things I haven't tried and I try to make good choices most of the time. I have been able to tolerate everything I've tried thus far but can only eat much smaller portions than pre op. I do have an occasional junk food splurge n have had no problems. Still losing. I've also had the occasional stall here n there but the losing always kicks back n eventually.

Happening to me too. Thank goodness I have a lot to begin with cause it's coming out like crazy. When is it supposed to stop or atleast slow down?

Hi guys. I was 9 wks post op yesterday and am down a total of 35 lbs (27 lbs post op). I've only lost 4 lbs the whole month of June!!! :0( How can it be at a crawl so soon. I need to lose atleast 45 lbs to get to my goal. I think I feel extra bad because my surgeon is never happy when I go in for follow ups. He always makes a point of letting me know that the average patient has lost more than me in the allotted time frame and he feels i should have lost more. This only adds to my feelings of failure. **sad face**

I reached 9 weeks yesterday n had 2 glasses of Reisling over the weekend (one glass each day). No problems at all. I sipped really slowly n was careful to make sure I ate before hand. I will admit that I did fell a little buzz much sooner than I would have pre surgery but I was by no means "drunk". I could however tell that two glasses probably would have been my max whereas before I could easily have polished off the whole bottle. Lol

Oh I hadn't thought of that Brandy. I did A LOT of walking so u may be right. I feel better now. Thanks.

So I Went to an amusement park yesterday. I shared a frozen lemonade, a cotton candy, n about 10 French fries with my hubby. Back on track today though. Don't judge me. Lol

If my dr's philosophy was 3 mos of liquids post op I think I would have found another dr. I've never heard of that n I know for a fact I would not have been able to stick with it. My dr is pretty conservative Nd cautious but even he's not that strict.

I can feel it n my throat. Hard to explain. I also begin to hiccup n burp. You'll start to know once u move on to eating more substantial foods.

I'm 5 wks post op n find that I'm actually hungry every couple of hrs. When I am I'm not able to eat very much and am still on soft cheese, soft fish, yogurt, eggs, etc. Is this normal or should I b worried that I'm feeling hunger so frequently. I'll add that I'm sure it's not head hunger or acid. It's actual hunger.

We are in the exact same boat with the exception of our surgery date. Mine was 4/23. Stats and feelings are exactly the same though. LOL

Maybe on Sundays or Saturdays u could make several meals for the week. My mom used to do that. Make one or two casseroles to have later n the week that will only need to be reheated or crock pot meals that can be put together n the morn n ready by the time u get home then u could steal that time to get n a little workout a couple days a week. Also u should maybe ride with a little cooler n ur car so u can get n some needed nutrition on the go.

I'm asking because the liquid allergy meds I'm taking now are gross. I want to be able to get back to taking a single pill.

I felt "better" at about a week out n went out however my mom was driving. Didn't really start to feel "good" until my drain was finally removed 10 days post op. It was crazy. I instantly felt 100% better once they removed that drain.

Thx Pennie n mammabear. I gotta admit I felt a little defeated at my first post op dr's appt when he said most of his patients would have lost 20 lbs post op. I think psychologically that messed me up a little. In some way I feel like 15 lbs in 19 days is not enough. On the other hand I know this is irrational. Damn doctor has messed my head up. Lol
