Well you look super and seem to be doing well, so believe the clothes! If I eat ANY sugar, it sets me up... so I don't!

Darlin, your list is long and tough! And my reaction to stress is to eat. Good luck, and my ONLY advice is to kick the soda!!!

I woke up tired. Walked within a couple hours. Had no pain, just discomfort that the hospital drugs took care of. no nausea. Took me a while to pee, but no real issues. Sure I'd do it again. Remember it's ONLY a help. YOU still have to change your relationship to food.

consider having your PCP write a pissygram letter (you can draft it). I did and it worked. Something like... "Whatareyou somekindanut??? Of course I was in communication with this dear wonderful and Fully Compliant patient!"

I am not as wise as the yoga teacher (who seems to be channeling Kierkegaard's 'leap of faith'.)
Me, I follow Lewis Carrol, where Alice learms: "Start at the beginning. Go to the end. And then stop."

I cannot do carbs because one bite is to much and a whole cake is not enough.
This is the head wars!!!

Cute as a button, dear

You are driving yourself "round the bend". And like the two above have said, YOU ARE DOING GREAT. Hide the daggone scales and just focus on liguids and protein. You are still healing... Heal, practice and IGNORE the weight...

What Mokee said.

Sure, everyone has this. How much did you lose presurgery?
And you've lost 10 pounds in three weeks. Not Too Shabby!

Nicely said. From a recent post:
"My surgeon was complimentary on my current success and implored me to not become a slave to the scale and to not let a number put me on an emotional roller coaster. He reminded me that should I follow the guidelines that there is no way I will fail at meeting my weight loss goals. "
One smart Doctor!!!

If you have sleep apnea you'll probably get a CPAP machine. This happened to me and I Love it and I Sleep GREAT!

Let's try this... Map the seashore. From 10,000 feel, it's a nice smooth line, isn't it? From 500 feet it's a bit blurry. Can you map the coastline from 20 feet??? No, things are a jumbe with the high and low tides and the waves.
Same with the scale. If you want to weigh, why not every 10 minutes? Why not every hour???Daily changes don't tell you anything, IMHO. Water, hormones, bowel movements all "modify" weight. And I just discovered that when the batteries are getting low, the scale loses its OWN mind!
I weigh (begrudgingly) every week in order to track. I generally lose from 1 to 3 pounds in a week, and about 10 a month. Slow but steady, especially since my knee limits a lot of activity right now.
Bottom line, your head is hooked on the scale, and it might (worst case scenerio) try to convince you that you've failed and you might as well give up. Well blow that for a lark!

Me too. I was continually amazed at how one appointment would lead to two more. Them doctors must ALL be buying a new boat!!! In any case, you will have an IMPORTANT medical baseline, and it WILL pass. Hand tough!

Yes, I was very tired after surgery and napped every day! Be nice to yourself, all will be well!

You CAN do all the fun and family stuff and have as much fun as ever. You CAN do it without food and drink being the lead actor in the play!

Welcome! Hope the stress test goes well!!!

They might not notice... They might notice but are afraid to say anything... No worries, you do this for you. Me, I have the opposite problem. I've lost 80+ pounds and I still seem to look the same to me despite what others say...

I think we all have "fat" tatooed somewhere in our minds. It takes us ALL a lot of mind work. I know that I have lost 80# and to me I look exactly the same.
Waiting is the hardest part....
