I haven't had to explain to anyone myself. However I would say I have built my metabolism up by eating very small healthy meals but eating more frequently like every 2-3 hours. Also that I limit fluids while eating as to not get full on liquids.

Great job guys. I'm 2 months 2 days out today and down 37#'s, half way there. Today was the 1st time a random person (that doesn't know I'm dieting) made a comment on my weight loss. Which is cool! I go by the rule as far as drinking nothing 20 minutes before and 1 hour after eating. So far so good my only issues was I ate rice accidentally, just a bite and that was a big NO No and oranges are too harsh for me which is a bummer. Other than that all is good with me. Went to Dr.Ortiz March 14th.

Ok so I was one of those people who only had nausea, stomach gas and pain in the hospital. By day 3 I was able to drink 8oz of broth and a full 32oz Gatorade. I sipped for only 4 maybe 5 days thereafter I was able to take big gulps. I’ve never been one to get full off of 2-3 oz of broth. My nutritionist said I shouldn’t be getting full off of liquids anyways. She told me most people who just had surgery and are getting full off so little is doing so due to the gas/being bloated. So I started March 5th pre-op at 238, DOS on March 14th I was 228, 1 week out on March 21st I was 218, I started creamy soups on the 23rd and went back up to 223 by the 26th. I started eating solids on the 30th (17 days out verses 21) and now as of today I’m back down to losing a # a day and am at 218. I haven’t had any problems with food up until today when I ate a few bites of rice, BIG NONO, I did it without thinking. So in a nut shell I’m down 20# since preop, 10# 20 days post. I have lots of restriction and overall I’m happy thus far. Hope to be under 200 soon.

Do NOT eat rice, I repeat DO NOT eat RICE, it hurts so bad. I had maybe 3 bites and I'm feeling the grunt of it. It was one of those moments where I wasn’t thinking WLS small stomach before eating and ate it without thought. Now I regret it and will never do that again. This was around 11:30 this morning and I still hurt and won’t eat anything else today due to it. Don’t make my mistake. UGGGHHH!

Well I must be doing something right im down to 222.8 from 238 on March 5th/228 March 14th DOS. I start full liquids tomorrow so I'm happy about that.

Today is the first day they are open since I've been home. Will call soon.

So I am on the morning of day 5 and I'm a little concerned as there hasn't been a day where I have had my broth or a drink where i felt omg I'm so full. I had 2 cup of noodles yesterday (broth only) at 2 different sittings and both times was able to drink the entire thing which was about 8oz with no problems in 10 minutes maybe. I've only been sipping because I'm afraid to go further as i don't want to be in pain. I also finished 3/4 of a 32oz Gatorade yesterday sipping throughout the day. I felt like i could have had more. At times i feel hungry as my stomach is growling and empty, no not the gas feeling actual hunger. On the other hand plain water seem too harsh for me to drink. I don't know what to think, i weighed in yesterday and was 1# lighter from m DOS granted it was only day 4 but i haven't eaten food in forever it seems. I was losing more on the preop shake diet. I hope this expensive tool is going to work and give me restriction, I'm just a little concerned right now but may be jumping the gun? Any suggestions, tips or replys would be helpful.

I just had surgery on Wednesday and I'm back home now, however I have a few questions. I'm on the clear liquid diet and wanted to know how much I should be consuming, for instances yesterday on day two I couldn't even finish a caprisun,had ice cubes and had a small popsicle that's it. Today I probably had about 6oz of gatorade and 6oz of broth and some ice cubes and that's all. I can't imagine getting 64oz of Water in. Also does the sipping stop or will that continue to be the case with drinking here on out? Any reply will be helpful thanks!!!
