I know how you feel. I had my surgery on 09/28. After the first week, I stopped losing weight. I stayed at the same weight for at least 5 days. I tried to not get depressed but it was hard to stay upbeat. It was ridiculous that I was afraid it was my fault. I mean, I am barely getting in 500 calories a day. Anyway, yesterday the scale went down a pound and this morning it went down another. I'm hoping that it is over, at least for now. Good luck and try not to let it bother you too much.

Won't your sister eventually find out that you had the surgery? Or at least, notice that you are losing lots of weight quickly?

I'm in Fort Worth and I used Dr Adam Smith. I'm only a few weeks post-op but I've had no problems at all. I would recommend him.

Can you share any tips on projects that can be sold? Where do you sell them at? It would be great to find something to keep me busy that also earns a little extra money.

I got a patch too before my gastric sleeve procedure. It really seemed to work well.

That's good to know. I've been considering using the Patches as well.

I had to do the pre-op diet for 2 weeks. I agree with the other post. It got much better by the third day. Hope that it gets better for you soon. I managed to lose 24 lbs during the pre-op phase so it's worth it.

I'm two weeks post-op. Its hard at first but it gets better quickly. At least it did for me. Hope it does for you as well.

Even if he is the one that posted them on other sites before this one, they don't belong in this thread. This thread was very useful before it was derailed. Thanks for everyone that posted good suggestions.

In the beginning, I had to take very small sips of Water and Protein drinks to avoid the tightness. I'm two weeks post-op now and I can finally drink a "normal" amount of liquid. Good luck.

I had the same Dr and mine was done on 9/28. I live in Fort Worth.

First few days were bad for me. It got much better on the third day. I hope you feel better soon.

The internet ? I assure you that those pics came from my backyard grill or my kitchen. I enjoy grilling, cooking and such. The only problem is that I usually had loud music playing and beer close at hand when doing this. No mysteries where the weight came from on me. I only posted the healthiest stuff I cooked. Typically, I'd do unhealthy stuff....... Have you never heard of reverse image search? It will tell you every site that you visited to "borrow" these images.

Dub - Why are posting pictures of food from the internet? If I wanted to make myself hunrgy, I could google them myself.

I'd stay away from the mean ones and look for some enjoyable ones.
