Please someone, how long until I start losing weight, any weight? I just don't understand what I am doing wrong.

so I am pretty frustrated at this point. I know it's only been a week and a half since surgery, but should I be losing weight? Any weight? I don't get it! I thought this was a tool to help. I lost 40 lbs prior, but now I'm done? I am getting in my protein, I am walking, I am drinking. I mean seriously? WTF

Congrats. Just take it easy. I had mine on the 8th and I was in rough shape. So many people were walking away and I was thinking. "maybe something is wrong because I just feel wrecked" but it did get better. My pain didn't really start to recede until 4 or so days later, but other than some pulling in my stomach it's a lot better. Just don't over do it go at your own pace.

Yes it is.

I had surgery the 8th. I thought i would be getting around a little better, but there is this one part of my stomach, maybe where the hernia was, that is still killing me! I try walking, but can't make it too far because of the pain. One step at a time I know. Everything else is going great though.

Heading to the hospital in about 10 minutes! So excited!

I have a hiatal hernia that is going to be repaired as well. Hopefully your pain eases. Take it easy at home.

Thanks, less than 20 hours, so excited!!

Started my liquid diet today! Two more days I can't believe it!!!!'

1 week from today!!

Oh my goodness it's so close. Tuesday is my pre surgery appt. Wednesday I have a class, Friday is my last dayf work. The 6th I meet with the anesthesiologist and the 8th is the day. I can't believe it's almost here!

Yay!! Congrats

I don't start mine until the 6th for my surgery on the 8th

Yes, I have been having weekend food funerals. Small coconut cream pie Sonic shake. Cheeseburger wrap from Beef o'Bradys (so good) Panera bagels. Tomorrow is 2 week until surgery. I gave up coffee and my vices lol.

Woot woot congrats! Two days before mine!

I am so happy to discover I am not the only one. My surgery date is Aug 8th and for months I have looked through pics saying please let this be me!

congrats

Yes, I feel exactly like that! Like to close but so far. Times seems to have slowed because you're anxiously waiting! I am so excited I want to move time forward.

I had mine out 13 years ago, but it is a big concern with a lot of doctors. My friend still has hers and had to take these insanely large pills for her gallbladder to protect against complications with it.

I have a hiatal hernia too, damn things. Surgery and a fixer upper on the 8th. You certainly won't miss your gallbladder either. Good luck to you as well.

I've heard a lot of people say they ended up with gerd so severe they had to switch.

Well Wyatt is my very chubby cat, she just plops down whenever wherever she wants. Moxi is my German Shepherd and definitely entering backwards is a wonderful idea. Actually I am going to have the pillow in the car for when I come home too, double safety

Basically working helps, I stay pretty busy at work. I read almost every night, have for years. I understand the pet thing, My little tubby Wyatt likes to sleep on me and shes 18 #. I am more nervous about my German Shepherd. First he has never been without me for a night and Second he has a terrible habit of jumping all over me when I walk through the door. We are all trying to break him of it, but it is slow going. Good luck with your surgery, 4 more days!

No problem, I am touchy about it. In my circle of friends any time I have a feeling I am "being negative". If I am frustrated at work I am "being negative" if I am having a sad day I am "being negative" basically any time I am not sunshine and rainbows it s "being negative". It upsets me because its okay for everyone help to have stress, and sadness and anger, but yet when I feel it it's wrong. I am feeling a little better about the "what ifs", but I still wish the days would go by faster 26 days seems so far, but since I started this journey January 5th in perspective it's super close.
