Pre-op weight 470 Surgery weight 461 - 3/7/18 Current weight - 371 Goal weight - under 300 Have lost 100 lbs since pre-op appointment. By the numbers that is not too bad for just 4 months but I have so far to go and have already stalled (about 10 days now). I must confess that I have been snacking between meals and have not been able to stop. I'm hoping when I go back to work (teaching school) and am not home most of the day that it will be easier. My snacks are all healthy but they are additional calories. Have been exercising pretty faithfully but notice that that seems to increase my hunger. Pictures next time - if I can find a pre surgery pic. Sent from my Nexus 6P using BariatricPal mobile app

Do sip slowly. Even if you can do more than 3 or 4 oz. don't, they want to protect the pouch while it is still so swollen. My program only has us on clears for 1 or 2 days, how do you get enough protein on clear liquid for a week? Sent from my Nexus 6P using BariatricPal mobile app

Cleared to drive when off pain meds, which was a few days ago. But will ride as a passenger for another 5 days or so. 1st car trip today. I do get pretty sleepy throughout the day but that's not really new. I walk around the block twice a day. Sent from my Nexus 6P using BariatricPal mobile app

Dying to sleep on my side. Thinking of driving tomorrow although I may have to switch cars with my wife since mine is hard to climb into. I am 1 week post-op today. Boredom is starting to set in. Sent from my Nexus 6P using BariatricPal mobile app

I am 1 week post-op today! Going well. Worst was gas pain on day of and getting in and out of bed for frequent walks. Didn't mind the walks. Just getting in and out of bed those first 48 hours in the hospital. At home I had no problem getting in bed but it took a couple days to get out without fear of hurting myself. Full liquids going well but boring. I did experience the pain of drinking a protein shake too fast and probably too much as well. I was mindlessly drinking right out of the container instead of measuring it out. Felt AWFUL for almost 2 hours. I hope I learned my lesson. Anyone else in this March group experience this?
