Post opp --- 1 month Initial weight - 280 2nd Week - 258.2 3rd week - 255.2 4th week - 252.2 Today - 247.0 Total loss ---- 33 lbs

It's so different everyday. One day 2 times s day and then the next week nothing - and I'm taking miralox.

Whoot whoot - exciting stuff!!!

Yes he has come around big time the past day or two. I think he's not use to me.being so down or damn unhappy. Pic of us last year before surgery in central perk. Lol park.

Date night with my husband. Dinner and a movie. I don't even know where to begin since the thought and smell of food makes me gag.

I'm thankful that I made it through month 1 and I'm not dealing with the pain. I've had my dumping experience, and vomiting foamies. Now I'm worried about lack of Water, calories and Protein. Why is it we can only drink water with lots of I've?? Is there a Protein Bar that can help instead of a shake that isn't covered in chocolate? What about nuts? Scramble eggs with turkey bacon? I'm ready to add something else beside oatmeal and cottage cheese. Or at least another protein.

Also if any one has a free sample they can ship my way. I have some from baracteric advantage. I'm so feed up on looking for something that might work im down to 150 calories a day. Any help???

You can do it!!!

Just hang in there. The pain for me was horrible week 1, got better week 2, and almost by week 3.

So you only want to lose 10 to 25 pounds?

Wow you girls ate lucky. I'm having the hardest time eating which means I can't get my protein in. The sight of food makes me seriously nauseated, so I have a lot to work on. You can start with taking your protein in ASAP and just start your weight loss process. Even if you could eat faster, you should not because the pouch can't break down your food like you stomach use to and you could cause your food to back up.

Sorry to hear that. Maybe when your ready, you can meet some of the nice guys on this site who you can share experiences with.

Hi John, I agree it would not be worth the risk. I'm concerned because my in- laws are the wine cellar collectible type and I really enjoyed sharing that time with them. Not sure what I'm going to do at our first dinner when I'm able to eat.

What cereal and muffin are you able to eat????

Yeah. I was not expecting this with WLS. I make between 100 - 300 calories.

I'm so happy to hear your husband supporting you after all of your hardwork. My husband is pretty much still sucking right now. He came home last night from work grabbed a pint of ice cream and started eating it right in front of me. I really thought he would be drawing me a bath or trying to hold me. But he's proven to only be a provider - work and sleep.

I have the hardest time surcrolose.... Ughhhhhh aspretame. Yuckkkkk

This is just awful! Is really should not matter what color anyone is - not their business. They are suppose to take care of you and nurse you. You have to file a complaint and let your doctor - surgeon know what happen too.

I am 1 month today!! I have not driven because I had 0 energy. I really feel like I could pass out at ant moment.

Plum and peaches worked out great! I want to try watermelon.

Has anyone has to deal with weird smelling urine? Is this also ketosis - the same as breath? How do you get rid of it. Is this a sign of dehydration? Help. . I'm running from my own pee.

How do I look you up?

Hello Everyone! I'm all about finding happiness. None of us the whole entire story, so we can only give friendly advise. Vamp - I only know u a little bit but u always help everyone on here and you stated the waters were rocky from the start of your surgery. I think Mami was looking out for you in her straight forward way making sure your tried everything possible (talking, counseling etc) if you wanted to save your marriage. But, we don't know if that was your goal. Also. If you are getting divorced I would not want your husband accusing you of having an affair possibly measing up alimony etc. . Just something else to think about. I'm so glad Kevin posted online!!! He seems like such a nice guy an this may be happening for both of you guys for a good reason. I think people were thinking about the kids etc and trying to be helpful with good or bad things you may or may not wanted to hear. I think both of you guys are valuable to the group and sharing this experience may help someone going through the same situation who may not be able to speak about it. Also please people. Facebook me!!!!

Yes, remember that feeling!!!
