I am 3 days post-OP and dont seem to be losing anything yet... trying to stay positive.

Thank you! All is going well. I'm at home resting comfortably.

I am home resting. Pain is manageable. Sleepy but trying to balance awake time and sleep time.all seems to be ok. Drinking the one ounce is interesting because I get pain in my stomach but it subsides quickly. I'm looking forward to getting some energy back soon.

Thank you! I appreciate all of the support!!!

Great job! 28 pounds is fantastic!!! Well done indeed. Surgery is tomorrow morning so, I'm getting really nervous and trying to stay busy today so I don't think about it too much. I am in near Vancouver and having surgery in Portland. Can't wait for 90% better!!! lol. Cheers to you reaching your goals!

How are your feeling so far? My surgery is tomorrow so I'm getting super nervous....

You will do great! Sending good vibrations!!!! My surgery time it tomorrow at 9:30am....

I like the chewable BariatricAdvantage vitamins. Might try these or a different brand. That could help.

Moving is one the highest stress events in our lives. Be kind to yourself and stay focused on your original goal ... making healthier choices... and you will get back to where you want to be on the scale. Sending you positive thoughts and virtual hug!

My doctor told me to expect 1 pound a week. So maybe you are building some muscle right now.

Mine too... 20 mg twice a day

Thank you for this! It is refreshing and a relief to read!

Did you not have success with the sleeve? I'm scheduled for the sleeve on the 6th...

Thank you all for your insights and encouragement!

March 6th!

I've heard this theory as well. I wonder if this subsides though. Sounds like it does.

Interesting experience. I hope that levels out for you. I'm scheduled for surgery on the 6th and have been concerned about these types of changes as well. Keep us posted on whether it improves or not.

Being in emotional pain for the better part of 45 years and now in physical pain for several years and after dozens of failed attempts to lose weight, I've decided on bariatric surgery. Surgery is scheduled for March 6, 2019. I was excited for about a minute... then the fears set in. How drastically will my life change when I lose the weight? Will my husband and I still love each other? Will our lives take such different paths that we grow apart? What will family and colleagues say/think? Am I vain for wanting to do this? Then there is the uncertainty of success... Can I truly commit to this new lifestyle? Will this be added to list of failures? I am committed to this decision and yet as I sit here while the family is still asleep, with tears streaming down my face, I keep asking myself "why are you afraid to be thin?"

I am scheduled for March 6th and the fear is setting in... will it work, will I starve, will I be able to maintain the recommended diet, will my tastes change, will I still crave cake and buttered popcorn... the list is growing by the minute.

I am scheduled for March 6th... And I'm starting to get nervous. I worry I will not transition into the new habits, I worry I will lose all of my hair, and I worry I won't lose any weight.... bundle of worries here.
