I'm having the same problem...eat because I have to but nothing sounds or tastes good which is good but hate the nausea

My surgeon said NO pop. Stretches the pouch ...I quit about a month before pre-op and scared to try them!

You look fabulous!

I beat myself up ALOT...embarrassed that I used food to cope with depression, childhood and marital traumas... I hate that I didn't have the willpower to make the changes on my own... so I completely understand! Surgery 10-2...down 42 pounds and feel good but definitely have those up and down days. No regrets but fighting depression... I lost my best friend ...food hang in there and thanks for posting this!

I am 3 weeks post op and down 30 lbs!! I am starting to notice things like my watch and wedding ring being too big and my pants and shirts being loose! I'm so happy! So far this is the best thing I have ever done!!

We had surgery same day and I'm down 33! It is best feeling ever... so happy for you!!

"Congrats!"

I'm 11 months post op' date=' and I've lost 140 pounds! I started out weighing 305, and now weigh 164! Went from a 28 to a 12!

That's amazing! I also started at same weight and am so excited to be where you are!! Congats

If I had a Starbucks in our area... I would be drinking it too!

I had surgery Oct 2 and I think I'm over excited for this weight to be gone! Vent away!!

I'm 3 weeks post op and I'm nauseated most of the time. Just thought it was part of the process

Had SF hot cocoa tonight. Only had a few sips...went down easy and was really good!

Had stones prior to surgery but extremely painful. I'm sorry your going through this...

Me either

I'm an open book and I am afraid of failing.... I answer people honestly and a couple of co-workers stated that they were worried but now see that even with only a 30 pound lose at this point that I am happier and feeling better! I've been surprised that the people that are considering surgery... no regrets!

Congrats on the awesome loss! Keepit up

I do feel nauseated but eating ice chips and sugar free Popsicles have helped alot!! I still struggle with getting in 60 g of Protein but working on it! You are so close to the 100's... I'm excited for you! I can't wait to be in 100's... but setting goals of 25 pounds right now! Congrats on current weight!!

Weighed tonight.... lost 30 pounds and surgery was 3 weeks ago t'mrw! I don't know if this is just average but I'm beginning to feel so much better!

Finally feel like I can do this! 

My Dr says no more than 15 carbs and no more than 5 fat grams.. told me to always r'ber 15/5...

I have alot of beans...refried with low fat cheese is on my suggested menu. Been eating alot of special-k Protein plus cereal which is also on my 4 week post op menu and it is really good 

I noticed a big difference about 5 days post op...

I took off 7 days and I'm a teacher. I tire very easy now but wish I would of taken another week off. Surgery was 10/2

Has anyone experienced the "dumping" after eating the wrong thing or to much? That's what my doctor calls it. I'm terrified to get sick so I'm very careful but the classes I attended said everyone would experience it 

Hey' date=' the chopped chicken was at the hospital as my puréed food that I had to eat before I could go home. It was in a tiny little condiment cup with a top and it had chicken gravy drizzled over it. I never had puréed chicken but it was so good, or I could have been really hungry! Lol

After reading your post I tried a small amount of chicken w/gravy ...so far so good. I am so scared of over-filling my pouch.

Surgery Oct. 2...ready to try meat but scared! Still on mush foods ..Dr has me on mush until 4 weeks post op
