Thanks for all the feedback everyone. I have my 6 week follow-up on Friday so I can bring up all my concerns. I still have only lost 10 lbs in 6 weeks. I could have done that without surgery. I can't wait to have my doctor weigh in.

I stay away from carbs because it's the diet that my physician put me on.

I am so incredibly disappointed. I have not lost a single pound in 3 weeks. I get all my Protein and fluids in. And I just say NO to carbohydrates. BUT STILL NOTHING. I realize my BMI was lower than others so I am not expecting big numbers every week. But I eat so much better than before surgery, I should have some results! And a new side effect appeared this week, dizziness. I am dizzy all the time. I don't even think it's safe to drive anymore. What have I done to myself?

Omg this is exactly why I logged on today. I am 4 weeks post op today and I have lost 10 lbs in the first week, and nothing since! I am so frustrated and depressed. I measure and write down everything down to the last carb. Have you found any resolution? I think I may have a meltdown

Please give me your frosting recipe! I loved making rolled cookies but your icing job is a work of art

Not my typical genre, But I think this is mine....

My #1 tip, stay busy! Plan something with friends. Walk the neighborhood. Do anything to keep your mind away from food. You can do this! It is worth it! You are worth it! My #2 tip, don't put something in your mouth just to taste it (I did), bad mistake! Pure torture! And I swallowed.

Just played it - good one!

1. The itching! No one warned me about the incision itching! (BTW - icepack brings great relief for this) 2. The lack of energy for 2 weeks. Just taking a shower would put me to bed for hours. 3. How difficult it would be to get in all my fluids for the day.

We all have that one song that no matter what, always pumps us up and makes us feel like a boss! What song should play when you enter a room?

I drove as soon as I was off pain Meds. I wouldn't drive under the influence

The gas they pump into you to expand your abdominal cavity is removed for the most part. I walked as soon as possible. I never experienced gas pain from surgery. I did experience gas pain when I started eating food and tried my first dairy.

I feel like I have tried them all. My favorite is the chocolate premier. I buy them at Costco. Best part about Costco is that if you don't love them, you can return the rest for refund (as long as more than 50% of product is remaining)

Sox I felt pretty low myself a few days ago. It really is hard without support! In addition to this whole new world we have to navigate we also have hormones that are going crazy. Oh vey...... But know you are never alone. This is a great community. Remember you are never alone. We are all just a post away.

I needed the gas x once I started on foods. The first 2 days were the worst.
