Bullet & Batty—- doing better. Added in cardio/weights and a 3 mile hike last week and went down 5.5. 😊

Surgery was 6/18. Today is 7/8, and I have lost a grand total of 12 lbs. since surgery. I'm feeling deflated emotionally. I thought I would have lost more weight by now. What gives? Anyone else s-l-o-w at losing?

We all lose differently. I started out on liquids losing about a pound a day, but since I have progressed in my diet, the scales have slowed down. Keep thinking positively. It WILL come off!!! Praying for those who are struggling now!❤️❤️

I had surgery 1 day after you pn 6/19 and I stepped on the scale for the first time today since surgery and I've only lost 8 lbs. It BROKE me. Like I'm so so upset so I understand completely.

Absolutely brilliant!

Hi!
I am 41 years old, have a fantastic, supportive hubby, and two beautiful teens (is that even possible?). I had RnY on June 18th, and surgery went well. I escaped the hospital the day after surgery, and was pleasantly surprised by the lack of pain. I stopped my pain meds the day after surgery, and then stopped Tylenol 4 days post op. The first few days were tough-- just so tired-- but each day gets better than the last.

I'm REALLY struggling to drink enough Water. I freakin. hate. water. Cold water hurts, so I started drinking room temp (yuk), and today's 'trick' is to drink hot water with herbal tea in it to try to get it in.
Anyone have any tips to get the water down?

Absolutely brilliant!

Started full liquids in hospital. Been drinking Glucose Control Boost (blech!). Trying to get to where I'm drinking 4 each day, then I get my full measure of Protein in.

Anybody else like Hot and Sour Soup? Egg Drop is pretty good but Hot and Sour has my vote!

I didn't tell anyone either. At first when people would say, "Have you lost weight?" I would just shrug it off. Now when they ask how I've lost the weight I say, honestly, "Diet and exercise."
