I live with my mom and my sister, they are the only know that knows....and my boss because I had to ask leave but I'm not telling anyone..I havent even told my best friend. Before I was even planning to get the surgery she would tell me "Don't ever get the surgery...I dont want you too and I wouldn't be supportive" so I havent told her nor any family and friends..I had my surgery in July....its come up around family but I keep denying it..I feel like it's my journey..my alone...its not taking the easy rode as people say, as I used to say. It's really hard work....I. proud of my progress and I dont want to bring in negative vibe...if you do decide to tell people I hope you will not get any negative vibe but just good support

2lb per week is pretty average from what I can tell. I was 310 lb on the day of my surgery on 1st March 2018 (38 weeks ago) and I have lost on average 3.17lb per week. With my best week (surgery week) being (6.4lb) and my worst being (0.3) (about 5 weeks ago). Everyone looses at different rates, I think the important thing is your trend. If you are loosing constantly thats what you really want. Just keep doing what you are doing and you will get to your goal.

Thank you!!!

I agree with @Missouri-Lee's Summit No question is silly, I wondered that myself when I can gradually eat a little more than I did before...so thanks for asking that question. 🙂

Your question is not silly! (I've cornered that market. ).
Seriously, if something picks at your brain, makes you anxious, or causes you any distress and it's because you are unsure about something... how can that be silly? Ask away. There will almost always be someone else who will benefit from your question and the comments that follow.
We have essentially the same surgery date (me only two days before you). Those eggs did nothing wrong. You did nothing wrong. You were able to consume an excellent Protein source and keep it down. I remember when even one egg was a challenge. It still is, to some extent, but I just carry on with what my body is telling me. I'm actually grateful that my body is able to take in a bit more as time passes. Three spoonfuls of food just didn't seem like a meal. And it hurt after. Now, I can eat what looks like a normal-ish portion and it sits nicely in my pouch. The biggest no-no for me has been forgetting about drinking milk or Water during a meal. That ruins the meal. And how can a meal feel satisfying when pain follows? Sometimes it takes repeated failures to learn a lesson. Soup, oddly, doesn't seem to have the same effect, even when it's "thick" soup with lots of ingredients. I haven't figured out that one.

No, the swelling has just gone down. You're fine!

I'm almost 4 months in since surgery and I kind of freaked myself out today. While in Soft food stage, I was in encourage (by doctors) to eat 2 eggs....I was never able to..not even after solid food...I would feel stuff after just eating ...but this morning, without realizing I ate both eggs....is my stomach getting bigger??

Thank you for responding! I'm still in Water and Gatorade diet...at one week I can add Protein Shakes. I will have to ask my doctor about PPI. They gave me pain medication but nothing for stomach acid and that's been one if my concern.

Thank you

It's been 5 days since my surgery. Second day sleeping at home. It is now 1:28am, last night it was 4:30am and I still had no sleep. I'm in so much pain! What have I done to myself? I'm on a strict diet, only Water and Gatorade. I'm so mad!! It hurts to drink. Why are they forcing me to drink. I'm starving, my stomach is asking for food. I can't eat normal anymore. What have I done? I'm so mad. I just want to sleep. My family don't understand the pain. I need my medicine, "it's 1am, just go to sleep". I can't!! Doctor recommended walking, okay, let's go. I can't walk to far without feeling like my stitches are ripping. "Keep going", they say "Walk further." I know my family means well and I'm trying. I'm really trying. Some times I push through the pain. I do what I'm ask. But then there's time like today, where I'm just so frustrated with myself, with the pain, with only wanting to sleep. Did I make the right decision? Can I go back in time? I just want to press forward...skip through this frustration...feel me again

I havent been able to sleep on my side but when I sit down and I'm leaning a little more on either side I feel pain. I cant bend down...it hurts to much. Not sure if this help. Maybe others can give you a better answer.
