I had my surgery on Monday, May 13th and I was discharged Tuesday evening about 15 lbs heavier than I was before the surgery. I was told it was mostly water weight but it still is not very motivating taking steps backwards. I am hungry ALL THE TIME!! I hear people say the surgery takes appetite away but I crave food more than I did before the surgery! Is anyone else experiencing this? Also, I am having trouble getting all my fluids in. I have tried sipping every 10-15 min but I get so full and the pains are awful. Maybe if I was losing weight rapidly like I see every one else losing but I'm not so I'm already starting to second guess my decision. Don't mean to sound like a negative Nelly but.......
