congrats and keep up the good work! thats awesome!!

good for you and Happy Valentines Day! I had about 3-4 bites of my boyfriends pasta (Im such a cheap date now!) I am only 3 weeks out so it was my first pasta. Went well but very filling. He knew not to get me candy, thank God! :-)

excellent! mine was the 26th im soooo glad to be post op...pre op sucked lol

when is your surgery? im just over 2 weeks post op

cant blame you. i doubt there is anything you can post that wasn't listed above. i know I had a lot of questions and frustrations as a newbie, that the older folks (:-)) would think to be stupid. but there is no such thing as a stupid question!

hi...Im from Parsippany, NJ. welcome!

i like Rock's Kitchen on utube. AND FLOUR TORTILLA PIZZA!

Im so happy for you! wishes for a wonderful, healthy future!

very pretty! do you have a pre op pic?

i have been having excruciating bouts of gout since being sleeved on jan 26 2018. i take 20mg prednisone. I am curious about what dosage you are on?

True!! And sad

I was told no alcohol for 6 months

AGREED

Thank you for the info and congrats on the 40 pounds! That's awesome!!! I'm working hard to be where you are

I didnt realize I am a difficult person to be nice to.

thanks for the encouragement and congrats on getting helf way to your goal. Having similar numbers gives me hope....I am sticking to the program and hoping to duplicate your success!

thank you!

Thank you for your post. So good to know Im not the only one gaining during surgery. congrats on yout loss....im thrilled for you!

I am on full liquid diet day 4 post op and am allowed enlighten bars...the peanut butter is amazing. maybe it will help your craving.

i would find a new doctor

So glad to hear, Im not going to try until at least 6 month, probably a year, but I do enjoy the occasional frozen margarita.

i am happy that i found this board and appreciate the kind words and support i have received. i detest the judmental posts. we are all human here, no one is perfect. i am the 2 day cheeseburger poster...NO i did not eat it and was not SERIOUSLY considering it as posted above, but I was frustrated and asking if anyone else had experienced a LARGE surgery weight gain. Instead of reaching for a burger, I turned to this board for support. I dont think sharing our frustrations, temptations and slip ups are grounds for judgement. just my 2 cents worth but im braced to be judged for it.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to offer me words of encouragement or kindness. I've scoured the internet and this far the largest surgical weight gain I could find was 11 pounds. But the good news is I have lost the 14 pounds. So for any person who finds themselves in my shoes, know the gain is normal and temporary so is the frustration. I feel tremendously blessed to have found this awesome group of support. Thank you and God bless
