I am miserable! Don't get me wrong I am ecstatic to have had my surgery , i researched it and prayed for it for about 15 years, but EVERYTHING Tastes horrible to me Or I can eat it once and the next time I go back for it it makes me gag! Nourishing my body has now become my full time job and I hate it. I am sure this is part of the transition but man is it difficult. Reading about it and walking through it are two very different things! surgery date 6/11/13 HW: 364lbs. SW: 335.5 CW: 316 GW: 150

How a out the seatbelt fits without cutting off my circulation, the discoloration of my legs due to poor circulation is fading and I can sit comfortably on our barstools now! surgery date 6/11/13 HW: 364lbs. SW: 335.5 CW: 316 GW: 150

Me too! I am 2 weeks post op and the Protein shake I loved before surgery is making me gag now! surgery date 6/11/13 HW: 364lbs. SW: 335.5 CW: 323 GW: 150

I just googled and found a few places on the web. I didn't book mark, sorry. surgery date 6/11/13 HW: 364lbs. SW: 335.5 CW: 323 GW: 150

I did a little reading about this topic this morning and found several things that talked about drinking and eating too close together. I am going to pay close attention to that and see if anything changes. surgery date 6/11/13 HW: 364lbs. SW: 335.5 CW: 323 GW: 150

First off yay you!!!! Tomorrow marks my 2 week post op and I could not bedew excited ! I am already seeing such a huge difference ! No advice just wishing you the best! surgery date 6/11/13 HW: 364lbs. SW: 335.5 CW: 323 GW: 150

Yes I also get those feelings too. I was beginning to worry. surgery date 6/11/13 HW: 364lbs. SW: 335.5 CW: 323 GW: 150

It's the best feeling! I lost 29lbs before surgery and no one said a word. I'm sure it has a lot to do with how quickly it is coming off! IT IS AWESOME!!!!! surgery date 6/11/13 HW: 364lbs. SW: 335.5 CW: 323 GW: 150

Omg people are noticing! I'm not quite 2 weeks out and ran into some friends at the store yesterday and they are noticing the weight loss! I wanted to jump up and click my heels !!!!!! YIPEEEE! surgery date 6/11/13 HW: 364lbs. SW: 335.5 CW: 323 GW: 150

Praying for you !!!! You're going to do great! surgery date 6/11/13 HW: 364lbs. SW: 335.5 CW: 335.8 GW: 150

Thanks!

So True Mandee! Resting free from pain is an important part of the healing process. WHen my Dr. Discharged me he said " now don't go home and think you have to lay on the couch all day but you don't have to be superwoman either" I think we are so excited about our new lives that we want to jump on it now now now!

I am 5th day post op and all seems to be going well. I left the hospital in full liquids but stuck to mostly Water and just a little bit of Protein shake until yesterday. I'm so afraid to push it! I do not want to feel miserable but I'm afraid of not getting enough of what my body needs. I feel good, starting to have some head hunger but I know it will pass. This site has been invaluable over the last week. Thanks to all of you who share your experiences so openly. surgery date 6/11/13 HW: 364lbs. SW: 335.5 CW: 335.8 GW: 150

Sounds like everyone is doing well today! I'm so glad to hear it . I too am having a pivotal day. I slept very well last night and I'm feeling good about getting back into my life I am back to surgery day weight! But even more noticeably is the way my body's shape feels different to me. It's good from here ! surgery date 6/11/13 HW: 364lbs. SW: 335.5

Should say "so much" NOT south surgery date 6/11/13 HW: 364lbs. SW: 335.5

Wow thanks for the inspiration ! I am 3 days post op with a start weight very close to yours. Thanks south for sharing your story with the newbies! surgery date 6/11/13 HW: 364lbs. SW: 335.5

My surgery date is also June 11. Left the hospital yesterday on full liquids but nothing seems very appetizing. Drank part of a Protein shake , felt really heavy. I will try again today. Water is settling well. Crystal Light is too sweet to have more than a few sips of. I am looking forward to a shower today. I had to hold off due to the central line they had to run because they couldn't get a good IV surgery date 6/11/13 HW: 364lbs. SW: 335.5
