Great job ladies !!

If you had surgery 5/1 and you are down 30 lbs why is that not a good thing ? You stated you are not walking. Make sure you get your protein and get out and walk !

Down 15 lbs 10 days post op

@alison, keep coming to the site . I live it here

An inspiration. Good for you !!!!

Both my mom and sister had surgery, my mom 8 yrs out, sister 4. They are constantly cold, it will last for the rest of your life.

My offical weigh came out as 234. Dr took off my bandages, was shocked by my hives and moved me straight to regular food with limitations. Oh my, mush and chew , mush and chew !!

Surgery 6/4. Came home 6/5. Been in my night gown since I got home, try to get walking around the house. Got 6 walks yesterday at 5 mins each. Today I decided to get up, get dressed and walk outside. I made it 13 mins, and was so discouraged !!!!

Each day ? I have been eating about .50 oz , and will be now doing it 6 x per day, I have been getting in approx 1/2 gallon of water per day also. I am 6 days post op.

Since I used get hives when ovulated and they would last for 3 weeks, these are not really bothering me. I been taking Benadryl and that takes the itch away at least

Broke out in rash on my inner thigh, wraps around To back of my leg. Called dr, waiting for them to call back. Ate 1 egg, and had hot tea this morning. Never been allergic to anything. ???? Anyone else ? 4 days post op. lost 15 lbs of the 16 extra I brought home . First weigh in is next tues

Wow my pouch is only .75 oz, so I keep it at .50 oz and feel satisfied

It actually seems worse and I have had hives all my life, they only creep up every once in a while. I heard as you lose weight re hormones that were being stored in your fat come out, wonder if I will have hives this whole process . A Sid now, I just hope they go away

I still feel very confident in all of this. I have my weak moments. I was only eating 3 times a day and just realized I should be eating 6. I can have clear liquids, sf Popsicles, scrambles eggs, light yogurt and mashed pot. The yogurt not working so well. I walk around several times a day, I get a min of 30 mins in per day. My bloated feeling is gone and so are the pains. I dont Have any specific # of what I expect to lose over the next month and I know I am still learning

Wow, I know the feeling of going part way through the process and then to be turned down. Happened to me 10 years ago. Ins denied, said not high enough bmi and no co morbids. I was about 260 back then, so when I got job that the ins paid, I started my program 6 days after ins kicked in. Best of luck, you have been waiting a long time. I am 5 days post op, and feel pretty good. It will be hard work, but I am ready

Hot tea helps me alot. Moving around helps, but nothing has gotten rid of the gas that rises to my shoulder ???? Help ???

I am post op day 5. I have just now lost the weight i gained in the hosp due to fluids. I was only in overnight. Once I got home , the pain kicked in because of the med change from morphine to Percocet. I have shoulder pain when I lay down. Damn Andsthesia/gas has not fully gone away. My pouch is approx .75 oz, I ate a little to much soft food yesterday (3 tsp) of yogurt. And broke out in a rash prior to that. I have actually felt hungry today. I cooked for family tonight, and watched my brother inhale about 2000 calories in under an hour. I have even thought about cheating. But ya know what, my minor bad day yesterday turned around to a good day today, and it taught me that the dr did his part and now it's up to me to follow the rules or pay for it. I am choosing to follow the rules. This works if you get your head straight. I will have too work through some things and every day won't be roses, but ya know what, being 260 lbs was worse. I finally fell to the losers bench today and I am on my way, I did this for all the right reason. Let your belief in yourself carry you through the rough days !!!!!

Awesome !!!

It's must be head hungry ? What about sugar free Popsicles or fudgesicles ? Did your dr provide a list ?

Re op cleanse today.. It's been fun so far, and since it's liquid diet of course I wanna eat. Lol. Drinking water. Taking pics a video tonight , kinda emotional today, but not to nervous. Will post my last post on way to hospital tomorrow

I am 5 days post op and only up to 30 mins of Walking.

Dr did. He told me to stop Meds. My body does not like pills. After being on Meds for 4 1/2 days, I think it was too much
