It's funny you say that because it took me at least 3 weeks before I started to feel full ( I'm in week 9 now) , the only thing I can say is that it will come and to eat slowly and good luck

I went out today I needed a work jacket/coat/cardigan things because I am getting so cold these days now it's winter and well I have lost 90lbs since last winter so yeah I feel the cold lol
I found a lovely merino cardigan it was 50% off as well but it was too big !!!! And they didn't have a smaller size .. That felt great lol
Then I found some track pants and pjs which I tried on and I am now wearing a size XL the last time I brought these things I was wearing a 3xl !!!! I am super stoked it felt great to walk around the shop and not have to just go to the plus size section !!!
I know that I have along way to go to reach my goal and I am only in week 9 post op but it feels so great to drop 2-3 sizes and it's great to be on track. My birthday is august 5 and I want to have drooped another 22 lbs by then (if I can) and that should be also another dress size
My legs and butt have gotten smaller so pants look baggy round my legs but my waist /tummy/hips is where the majority of my weight is still sitting but I know it's a slow process but once again it's great to see results...
The only down side to all of is is that because I am so short (5'1") I have to have all my pants taken up and that costs nearly as much as the pants themselves ! Lol lol
Weigh in day tomorrow wish me luck

Good luck

Well done I am 8 weeks also and down 28 lbs so you are going way faster than me

Aww poor you :-( I'm sorry I don't know ... I am 7 weeks out and still get emotional a few times a weeks

So I have lost 20lbs since surgery... It's been slow but I think things are going to improve from here my nutritionist explained it can take a few weeks for your liver to get back to normal, and also because I lost like 10lbs in the first week my body has been playing catch up ! So yeah let's hope things start moving now.
I am officially allowed solid foods again, though I am not really sure what that is I just take it to mean I can eat pretty much anything ( within reason no high fat foods of course) , I will admit food is causing me to have a melt down quite often, I can't eat very much and I miss so much.. I'm not even missing the bad foods like KFC or McDonald's I just miss regular meals and I have come to realise its a mind game as much as a weight game, I never understood that when people said that before, but now I get it.
Anyway it's 6am Monday morning so I have to go to work :-) hope y'all have a great week

I have discovered rice crackers (approved as I slowly move on to soft foods) , however for lunch 4 of those tiny crackers are more than enough to fill me up, but what I have found is that I am addicted to licking the seasoning off the rest of them lol
I am sure it's probably too much salt ..but yeah I am having hardly any food so fuck it for the moment I don't care
Anyway that all for today .. Almost 3 weeks post surgery I only have a few more days before I have to go back to work boooo but feeling good at the moment

Yesterday (day 4) I had an awful day I felt uncomfortable and gassy all day and to make things worse I got my period less than 10 days after my last one !!
I threw up last night after dinner I had a soft boiled egg which I puréed but I think I ate too much or to fast , anyway I threw up I had to get some de gas tablets because I was so uncomfortable.
I have had an upset stomach for the last 5 days so I am taking fibre again hopefully that helps
This morning I felt dizzy and not so great I need to drink more Fluid , also I am slowly having a Protein shake for Breakfast and I must say that has made me a whole lot better so that's a good start.
I did some dishes and a little bit of tidying up and it's okay so I do feel there is a light at the end of the tunnel so to speak
Also I have lost 8.8lbs in 5 days

Walk, walk and walk some more. Walk from the couch to the bathroom, bed to the couch etc.. Walking it the only sure way of moving the gas. I'm glad you are feeling well and your surgery was a success. Welcome to the losers bench.

Today is day 4 and I feel okay , apart from feeling a bit uncomfortable with the extra gas in my system , does any one have any tips on how to help this gas pass?
Oh and also experiencing a bit of diarrhoea but this could be because of the drugs the hospital pumped into me ???
The purée diet is blah but it's okay 1/3 weetbix with milk for Breakfast & my husband has made a huge Soup for lunch and dinner last night for dinner I had some mashed up mince and gravy like less than a dessert spoon full it's okay it's what I expected .
It's nice to be able to sit at home instead of hospital just watching TV and not doing anything
Anyways anyone have any great tips for gas or anything else please let me know

I am sorry you have to deal with stuff like this, just a thought have you and your husband actually sat down with you FIL and talked to him privatley about how it makes you feel?
I

So it's 5.30 am & in 30 mins I am leaving for hospital !!!
I am nervous & excited & scared lol
Thank you for your support & I will write again .... From the other side ....lol

My surgery is on April 4th and I am now in my 6th week of pre surgery Optifast ...
And I feel really alone sometimes ... People don't understand , my husband has been great and is really supportive but I think I have talked his ear off about the topic haha at work the girls are great about it but they really don't understand I mean they don't even need to loose 3lbs and they complain ... I know that everyone has their own battles so I try not to judge but I feel like screaming for f****s sake you have no idea what's it's like so get over yourself !!!
I enjoy reading others posts and stories on here makes me realise I am not alone in what I am going thru ..
So all that being said please feel free to chat or pm me or whatever if you want to talk
