I am sorry that so far your results have been so much less than you hoped. I think you might need a better support team. Maybe you should try to find a good endocrinologist who can help you with your hypothyroidism. It sounds like that might be your biggest hindrance to losing weight. I don't know a lot about it, but you need someone who is better at diagnosing and treating this condition than the average primary care doc. If you haven't already, you should also find a good nutritionist who has a lot of experience working with WLS patients. Good luck.

had my first sip of Soup yesterday to ease into the stage 2...I felt 100 times stronger, lol. So glad that people are doing well around the same amount of time as i am--1 week post-op today. 1st appt. tomorrow!

Went to the dr today for my follow up and he said the average most people can eat is 4-8oz. I'm 6 days post op and am around 4oz per meal of full liquids myself... He said as the swelling of the stomach goes down (up to week 8 i think he said), you can start taking in a little more over time

Trust your doctor. Trust your nutritionist. Trust the process. Never trust a fart. Never.
