Hi, I felt the same way but as others have said above, your body needs time to heal. You will have a lot of internal swelling.. These things take time and it takes time for your body to heal.. I think I was 8 weeks out when I had that moment of "wow, I finally feel like I'm losing wt" and "these clothes are big on me".. So yea, it took time for me to get to the point where my body had healed and the swelling had finally gone away and things started falling into place where I felt like I was losing when I would try on my clothes. You will get there

Thanks for all the info

I didn't eat spicy foods till I was about 6-8 weeks out.. As long as I took my prevacid then I was ok..

Mine was ok... I have been on a beta blocker since I was 23 so I wasn't really expecting to come off of the med... I thought it was hereditary.. I was told to take my beta blocker the morning of surgery with a sip of Water which I did... That was 4 months ago and I'm down about 43 lbs.. I immediately came off of my diabetic meds and haven't had any since the day before surgery. My BP has been running low and I only take the pill 2 days a week but waiting to completely come off of it in the next couple of weeks. I monitor it daily.. I would not worry too much about your BP.. They can give I.V. meds to get your BP down before, during and after surgery.
