Thanks for the warm welcome ladies! My surgery was 4/5. I've lost 30 pounds since then. Overall I'm doing well. I'm reading all of the posts and am having a lot of the same problems and concerns. Constipation, cravings, vomiting and now I feel as if I've stalled. I have a lt of support from my husband family and friends but its nice to have you all to lean on because you know exactly what I'm going through!

Just found this thread! Wished I had found it sooner...

I had the same experience this weekend...the burgers smelled so good! I ate the cheese sipped my water and had a deviled egg!

I was concerned about the baldness concerns too. I spoke to my surgeon who assured me that as long as I took in enough protein and took my supplements that I would be fine. A lot of the horror stories that you hear are when patients don't as instructed by nutritionists and their surgeon. My surgery was 3 weeks ago, I wouldn't have done anything different!

Put on a pair of cute denim capris that I haven't worn in 2 + years and started soft foods today! 3 weeks post op and down 20 lbs!

Oh, good I thought I was going crazy!!! Glad I'm not alone. I got my staples out a week ago but still have a lot of scabbing. I'm going to try the neosporin!
