In my preop diet I did get hungry and I did have headaches the first week. BUT the second week was much better and a lot easier. And now... My stomach never growls but I know I'm hungry when my stomach just feels empty. It's hard to explain until you experience it.

I'm pretty frustrated that for the last week and a half my weight toggles between 248 and 251. I was losing about a lb a day and I've been stuck at the same weight for a week and a half. And I'm not understanding how I can gain 3 lbs when I can barely eat. I ate half of a meat ball last night and a few bites of potatoes. Grrrr! I hope my body isn't done losing weight cuz that's a lot if money for 30 lbs.

Ask away.... I'll be one month post op on the 10th.

Thank you! I can see my collar bones for the first time in 6 years! And other people are starting to see more than I see the weight loss.

How do I post pics?

I haven't worked out at all yet cuz they told me not to. I'm staring the gym next week

I'm only 17 down since surgery but 30 down since the start of my preop diet. Also I tried eggs last week and threw them up.

I broke the 30 lb mark yesterday. My weight loss has slowed down but still losing.

Well I didn't really lose any weight this week. I'm barely eating anything so idk what the problem is. Pretty disappointed in a 1-2 lb weight loss.

Not everyone gets the back pain but I did. Mine much better than it was but it still hurts. But tolerable

No. It takes me a while to eat... Just something's vine back up.

Threw my dinner up tonight too... Blah

I threw my eggs up today

I tried scrambled eggs this morning. Having to eat them very slow because they are cramping my stomach. Idk how I'm ever Gona be able to really eat again without it cramping.

When you start freaking out, just remember the prize! It'll be here before u know it!

Thank you everyone!

2 weeks post op... I measured 6 inch loss in my waist!!!!

Also I had significant pain... Not unbearable but too much for even a desk job the whole first week. I took my pain killers before it was time cuz I hurt. I quit taking them this last weekend.

I'm just now having enough energy to stay awake most of the day. And most days I still take a nap. I'm going back to work on Friday. I'm two weeks post op.

My surgery was scheduled at 9 but ended up not happening until almost noon. I just kept busy talk to ppl in the waiting room to keep my mind off of it. You won't be miserable because nerves will take over and u won't think about it. Good luck!!!

My soft diet paperwork says creamy peanut butter is allowed. It also says I can start ground meats or thin deli meats so I tried to eat a couple slices of shaved turkey... Not even 5 mins later I threw up and now my stomach is killing me! So ..... I can't do that just yet.

Has anyone else's weight fluctuated? I can lose a lb a day for several days and then for a day or two it shows me to have gained a lb or two. I don't understand it... But those gained days are VERY frustrating!
