Well I'm now 3 weeks out today. Feeling a little discouraged. Since I started on mushy food last week I have gained 5 lbs back. Somebody from the Woodbridge office just called to confirm my appointment this week, and told me not to worry about it. Said it was probably Water retention. How do you not worry when it's right there on the scale and not going anywhere. Yesterday was the most I have eaten at 800 calories. I also haven't gone to the bathroom in a week. TMI. Maybe that has some to do with it too.

. Don't get discouraged. Wait until your appt. you could be dehydrated some and retaining water. Def could be Constipation. 800 calories seem a bit high. I'm 8 weeks out and getting a total of 4 to 500 per day, mostly Protein and lots of water and walking. I I stalked for 3 weeks but lost 3 pounds the following week. If I don't get in all my protein- 60 grams I don't lose at all. Keep me updated after your doc appt. at three weeks your new tummy is still recovering so don't fret!!

My surgery is tomorrow also. The much anticipated day is almost here. I'm working today. Noticed I'm a little short tempered. Must be nerves kicking in even though I don't feel real nervous.

Thanks. I feel like that was truly honest. I guess now I know what to be looking for in the future.

Everyone sure seems to do a great job of supporting each other. I will need to be able to chat with people who understand what I am going through. My husband still doesn't understand why I am doing this yet I'm sick and tired of hearing the negative comments about my weight from him. It is time to feel good about myself. I read all of these supportive comments and somehow feel as if I know some of you.
