    I can definitely attest to that. I haven't lost any significant weight in about a month. I've been fluctuating within the same weight range. But I went clothes shopping this weekend and was able to get into a size 20 pants and jeans(I started at a size 28). So even though I weigh everyday, I try not to get upset when the scale doesn't move. My doctor told me that I'm past the six month mark and it will become harder to lose the pound so sticking to the plan is key! Congrats on your success! :P

    You will do fine. And just remember that every week gets better and better.

    I had surgery on 3/26 and am having a tough time. I can't drink any liquids and am lucky if I get a couple of swallows down. Nothing taste good even Water. Did you or anyone have a tough start. I'm tired of reading how great the surgery is.

    The surgery for me was no cake walk in the beginning. I couldn't get in enough Fluid and was borderline dehydrated. I was nauseated constantly and couldn't move my bowels for about 3.5 weeks. I fought depression for about four weeks. But now I sometimes have to remind myself that I even had the surgery. I do still fight to get in Protein and water but even that's getting better. So I can promise that if you hang in there things will get much better. Those first few weeks were the worst but it should get easier every day.

    DOS 2.26

    Currently holding at 19 lbs from DOS. I'm a little bummed about it' date=' but I have not been getting all fluids in nor Protein. It is getting much better. I do a real good job getting liquids in during the work day.

    When the weekend comes around, its a bust! I also find I'm want more to drink after working out.

    I have 3 weeks more before I can go on pureed food! I guess I will have a celebratory Protein Shake on my Birthday!!! :-)[/quote']

    Man that is a long time to be on full liquids. I started pureed food the second week after surgery. But if its what your doc ordered then hang in there. My surgery date was 2/26 also and I still have a hard time getting everything in. The days will get better.
