Thanks so much my first to weeks were the worse with the pain and liquid diet o and the gas

You look fantastic!!!!! I can not wait until I start dropping enough to really see it. I was sleeced on july 18th. It has been a very emotional week & a 1/2 for me but I am o ushing through. Best of luck on the rest of your journey!!!! You are doing an awesome job!!!!

It will be here sooner than u no it I remember looking at other people pics on this site wishing it was me!

Hey everyone I want to check in haven't been on the site or posted in a while. I'm doing great the ruff patch is over and I'm now enjoying my journey on becoming the new me. I'm down 32 pounds so far I feel like that's kind of slow but I was told its about average I'm okay with that's cause it 32 pounds I wouldn't have lost if I didn't get the surgery

This was me at my heaviest and me today look like more than 32 pounds I know but I think it's inches as well not sure how many :)

I just read the post you made on June 8th regarding hunger. I am 8 days out and feel hungry a lot of the time. I'm doing a pretty decent job getting my Proteins and my fluids in. I was just wondering if you are feeling satisfied now that more time has past. And if you are not feeling hungry all the time' date=' how long did it take to get to that point. Appreciate any input.[/quote']

I'm feeling much better now that I'm almost 5 weeks out. I'm now on my last week on soft foods then its back to mainly anything I want to eat. I basically felt hungry throughout my whole liquid stage the nurse told me it was because I wasn't getting enough Protein. I still get hungry now and sometimes I hate to eat still adjusting to the slow eating and the portion size. Ordering out or going to restaurants is a waste of money now because u never finish your food. I don't regret my decision but it is a learning process and a lot more different then what I thought. Stick in there it will get better. Hope I helped.

First question : I'm about 4 weeks post op and have hit my first stall. I have lost 21 pound so far but that was all in my first two weeks. I haven't lost any weight in the last two weeks. How long will this last, and what can I do to jump start it?

Second question : I must admit I haven't be exercising as much as I should. I brought a treadmill and low and behold there were no screws to put it together, so right now I'm In the process of waiting for the company to send me new screws but I don't want to sit around and wait to much longer. So how long did u guys wait before you went to the gym? I don't wanna just go to get on the treadmill I will like to do other exercises as well. My doctor said at this point I can lift up to 10 pound.

Thanks in advance guys!

Thanks everyone I'm better now 3 weeks post op at this point still adjusting to my new way of eating but feeling much better. I'm on soft foods now which is good but I find myself eating the same thing fish and mashed potatoes. My NUT basically told me at this point I can have anything that isn't crunchy but the things I want I shouldn't have so I stick to the basics. I've tried bread and did pretty well. Went out to Eat for the first time and I think it was a waste of money lol. I didn't even finish half the food.< /p>

I too have PCOS. I want to a fertility doc and got pregnant off of clomid. My son is now 4. Good luck on everything.

I could only say that I thought I was as ready as I was going get I spent a year doing pre-op appointments and dieting. No one talk me into surgery this was my own decision if anything I was being talked out of it. I have no major health issues but im 24 with my highest weight being 314 and pre hypertensive. I don't think I need and physiological help. I think I need a few days maybe weeks to adjust. I been eating when, what, and how much food I want for as long as I could remember for me to have to stop so drastically I guess I was ready for that part but thanks for all you good wishes

Hey guys this is my first post!

I am 10 days post-op surgery already down 20IBS . But the dilemma is I'm hungry all them time. All I can think about is food. Wendy's, pizza Hunt, Chick Fa La, etc. I think I'm starting to get depressed, I almost cried today! I have already cheated on my two week liquid diet, first with a couple teaspoons of tuna fish,oatmeal,mash potatoes, and spinach, within the last too days all which I tolerated very well (but the spinach was kinda rough going down). It's like I want to Celebrate my weight loose but do I have to miserable while loosing weight? Has anyone started to regret their decision in the beginning? I keep telling myself be patience this is only the beginning but it SOOO HARD! I have already missed out on 2 BBQ and a Girlfriends night at the bar because I didn't want to be around the food or the drinking knowing I couldn't have any. When I express my feelings to my friends and family they just laugh it off but I'm really serious

Someone Please give me so world of encouragement, and tips on things I can do or maybe even eat to stop be so hungry.

P.S. It's not a mind thing I truly have hungry pains, nurse says it normal because I not in-taking enough Protein daily, but I still haven't found anything that tastes good or my stomach could tolerate.

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
