I look daily for info or advise. I am 6 weeks our from surgery looking for the normal for this time period, but everyone posting is either waiting for surgery or less than a month out. I know what to expect then already been there, its moving forward from 6 weeks to 6 months that I am searching for.

Thanks Alex

Thanks Alex!

Kindle I'm with you, if I don't eat I get hungery!

Wow haven't heard of dumping from sugar free foods. Will pray for relief for you.

Finediva what procedure did you have done?

My surgery was October the first and I've lost 20,so you're doing very well if you've lost 32 pounds in 6 weeks that's wonderful.

my doctor prescribed actigall and I'm wondering if it's really necessary.

Today is 20 lbs

Way to go!!! How much have you lost?

Thank you so much!

How's everyone doing?

I have noticed my rings twirl on my fingers now.one of my supervisors took a double take and asked if I was losing weight. I know I'm losing I just don't understand why I'm not losing at a much slower rate

Omg you have no idea how bad I needed to hear this. I read about people losing 25 and 35 pounds in a month and I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong? I'm 28 days out and have only lost 16.6 pounds, makes me think maybe I'm not doing things so wrong after all. thank you for the reality check

I am 28 days out and have only lost 16 lbs. I read these post about everyone losing 20 and 30 lbs in a month and I wonder what I am doing differently than everyone else. How many calories are you eating? I can only get in 600 to 700 in each day.

I didn't think getting my drain removed was painful as much as an odd sensation. You defiantly felt it being pulled out.

You got this girl!

I used Dr Veboonen in Tijuana Mexico

I am on here 24/7 I have no one to talk to about any of this. This site has helped answer so many questions.

Once you get on soft foods you will feel some restriction. I was worried too. When I was on the liquid phase I never felt full

My surgery was October 1st, I also gained about 10 days out. Started my monthly and lost it the next day. Don't worry!

There are less complications and easier recovery, Same results, cost less as well

I have the omega loop ( mini gastric bypass) by choice. When I did my research on the different procedures the MGB was what I kept being brought back to. RNY seems to have a lot of complications, the Sleeve will stretch out. My surgeon said every day he is converting sleevers to the MGB (omega loop). I am by no means an expert on any of the weight loss procedures,but for me MGB was the best choice. I need the restriction and the malabsorption.
