It's been two weeks and I have only lost maybe 2-3 lbs. actually I go up and down. I have been working out a lot and getting my protein/water. I am getting so frustrated. ????

Just seems hopeless. I weighed myself this morning and I am back up a lb. instead of going down I am going up. I'm about to scream. I know everything that is being said is true and make sense. But I don't eat nearly enough calories vs how many I burn to go up a lb. I'm just ready to see the scale go down. It's so discouraging. ????

Thank you as well. Hope all is going well. It does make sense all these articles and everything just doesn't make it any easier to accept ???? Hopefully everything will end up well. Good luck!!

Thanks for the words of encouragement!! I hope it ends soon. It depressing. Lol. I feel like I workout all the time only for nothing.

It gets better. Other than the not losing weight like I want too part. lol. Good luck!

Yeah. My surgery and recovery was relatively easy. I am 4 weeks out as of yesterday. I am down 35 lbs and have began working out vigorously. I haven't seen the scale move other than go up and down in the last two weeks. I have lost like 2 lbs. but it's really beginning to bring me down. ????. Boo.

Ugh! It's driving me insane!

I am almost 4 weeks post op. I am eating protein or drinking at every meal. I feel like I am getting so full so quickly that I can't hold very much (I know that's the point) but the problem is about 2 hours later my stomach is empty again. I don't know if it's due to me working out and my body craving more calories? I feel like I'm constantly snacking.

I am on whole foods. He moved me at two weeks from liquid phase to regular diet. I am pushing proteins. But I seriously take 4-5 bites of something and I'm stuffed. So then like 2 hours later I feel like my stomach is completely empty and hungry again.

I live in a little town. Never heard of those. Boo. ????

Where were u able to purchase this milk at? I haven't seen it before. Thanks !

I am 6 days post op. First couple of days I def stuck to the liquid thing 100%. Here lately I have been making soups with soft noodles and making sure I chew them very well. I myself am getting kind of sick of the liquid diet. I am ready to move on.

The past two days I have had diarrhea lots of times. Is this normal in the first couple of weeks ?

@@mandyq1985 this is such a "shittttty" issue someone had to say it having diarrhea is very common early PO DEAL WITH IT how long will diarrhea last your guess is as good as mine BUTTTT everything comes out in the end sorry you are going through this problem hopefully you'll get better sooner than later good luck kathy Thanks. My friend who has hers in December said the same thing. I am hoping It ends soon. Thanks for the hope. Haha

Yes. I am completely following my diet allowed by my surgeon. It may be all the liquids that is causing it?? I don't know just trying to figure out if it's normal or if Anyone else has experienced this as well ?

Amen! Good luck ladies, I am really nervous, too. But by this time tomorrow we will all be sitting on the "loser's bench". See you there!! Just checking in with you guys to see how it went ? I am barely tolerating a few bites of Jello. It tastes really sweet. Mostly ice chips and tea for me.

Mine was done yesterday and I have been quite nauseated. Haven't been able to eat much. The jello and Popsicles are too sweet. Just ice chips and tea for me right now. Stomach pain is annoying but bare-able. I hope everyone else is doing well!

One hour till I leave for the hospital. Eeeekkk lol. Ready to get this show in the road.

I am thinking of you and praying for a safe surgery and quick recovery! Good luck! Hope all went well. Let us know when you can. Keep us posted. I go in at 7:30 in the morning.

Less than 24 hours now fellow 31st sleevers. Good luck to all of us!

I'M ALSO MARCH 31ST WE'RE GETTING SO CLOSE YAYYY March 31st here too. Overrun with nerves and excitement. Good luck to all

Sure!

This diet is killing me. I feel hungry all the time. I know it's probably just my mind wanting things just because I know I can't. Words of encouragement please!!!

I have heard that band is horrible. I have seen a few people with good luck with it I guess. But for the most part horror stories. Lol. I'm feeling better about the surgery. The closer it gets the more I feel I have come to terms with it. I just hope it goes smoothly. I'm actually to the point I just want it over with. Lol. Like I can't wait for 3 more days to go by. Lol
