Everything is going well for me. I am starting to feel a little more hungry than I have in the past three months. It is very manageable though and probably attributed to time of the month. Otherwise I feel great.

Dr Kim was my surgeon as well. You are going with an expert in the field. I have had zero complications and he has a 0% leakage rate. I love the PA's and my hospital stay was really nice. The staff was fabulous.

I am from far north dallas. Three months post Op

@@jaipurple1 Dont panic, I promise you arent done. You are a low starting BMI patient. So am I. We tend to lose at a slower rate than others. Keep sticking to the plan, try not to weigh yourself for a while, and everything will work out fine.

@@tfowler, we start soft regular food today. Just wondering if you are handling it ok.

@@tfowler I'm stalled also. I've moved my scales to my moms house. I can only weigh once every two weeks. I know as long as I journal my food and watch the calories it will fail off eventually.

You need Pepcid ac to control the acid. Some of the hunger you feel is acid going bonkers in your stomach. It takes a while to tell the difference between those two feelings.

Good evening ladies! I hope everyone is doing well and adjusting to the new lifestyle pretty well.

@@tfowler I actually have a nude in my phone from my last diet attempt. I was trying to shame myself into not cheating. It didnt work out well. I will use that to compare at some point.

I had this done by Dr. Kim. I'm very happy with my results.

Good luck, vsg, I hope those purées work out better for you.

@@tfowler I can relate on the walking. Its so hot after work the last darn thing I want to do is go out and sweat.I have decided I am not going to weigh myself more than once a week. That will keep me from getting discouraged during stalls I am hoping. I am having a weird pain just under my left breast area. It is starting to keep me up at night. If I lay on my left side it abates. I dont know what in the world is causing it if not gas...... I am over protein shakes as well. Unfortunately I will be extending my liquid phase a week due to travel. I figure that isnt an ideal time to start trying to add things in. I am looking forward to mashed potatoes though!

Glad you are doing well! You might try scooping one scoop of unflavored protein powder and sprinkling just a little of it in your milk throughout the day.....

Hello ladies! Just a quick personal update. Ten days out, and as of today I am staple free! Huge relief as they were becoming really itchy. I hope everyone else is feeling good!

I had my surgery the 21st also. You have lost more than I have at this point. It seems to be the common consensus around here that lower BMI = slower weight loss. It will come off, we just have to be a bit more patient with it. Good luck and speedy recovery!
