I everyone. I'm extremely frustrated and need some support. I'm one month post op and I've been losing steadily for a while, but all of a sudden I stopped. I've heard of plateaus where you don't lose for a bit, but I'm actually gaining a pound here and there! I'm eating what I've been eating. Haven't been cheating or eating cake on the side or anything. But how is it even possible to GAIN weight when I've been eating a fraction of what I ate before surgery? It should be falling off! Even if I DID eat something "naughty", I still can't eat a fourth of what I did before. I've been at the same weight for two weeks. My clothes feel looser but I don't lose! I feel like my surgery didn't even work! Has anyone else experienced this frustration? What am I doing wrong? I drink my water, I exercise, I eat right. It's all just stopped. Help!!! I'm at my wits end.

Yes,I'd like to know the answer to that question too. How is it possible to eat three scrambled eggs when the pouch is supposed to be 2 ounces?

You're so lucky!!! I'm nine days post op today, and I'm still on liquids!! I'm going CCRRRAAAAZZZZYYYY! Any suggestions? I've got soup, jello, and protein shakes coming out my ears! Any good soups that you liked?

Sorry, I called you Baby Doll, not Barbie doll!

I know exactly how you feel! My gastric bypass surgery is Monday. THIS COMING Monday, the 7th and I'm scared witless. I am terrified of general anesthetic and I'm afraid I won't wake up or I'll die on the table and leave my four children motherless. The main reason I'm having this surgery is to get healthier for my kids; so I'll see them grow up and marry and have my grand babies! But I feel like I'm putting myself in more danger. I know it's irrational, and I'm sure I'll be fine, but I'm starting to panic. Now that it's here and real, I'm freakin' out! I could use some advice on how to get through all this too. Good luck Babydoll. I'm right there with you in spirit!

Congratulations! I have my Pre-op on the 3rd and my surgery on the 7th! I'll be eaxtly one week behind you! Please share how you're doing. I'm getting really nervous. I'm excited for my new life but I just hate being put under general anesthesia. It scares me! Are you feeling nervous?
