Today officially marks 2 months since my surgery. I am down 41 lbs so far and while it has slowed it hasn't stopped. im ready to start working out more and its exciting!

i had like a two week stall this month just before my 2 month mark. it was rough but i stayed on track and am losing again. its slowed down but i think thats normal

thanks. i might try that after i use up what i have.

i don't get bubbles but if there isn't enough food in there i will vomit. i've had a really hard time with vitamins.

wow! congrats! you look wonderful and happy!

hey me too! my surger was july 20 and I'm at about 26lbs from surgery date. this last week i only lost .2lbs but i know thats normal. we have come so far already!!! great job!

YES! the gurgling and weird feelings i still have two weeks out. it really is a work in progress and takes time. i finally gave in and bought a mini food processor so i can expand into some of the canned fruits they said i could have

I'm with you! the first two days were so painful i had instant regrets but the nurses were so amazing. i had to stay 2 and a half days in the hospital. now im just about two weeks out and down about 20 lbs. its WILD. i have to remind myself that this takes so much time to adjust. i still dont know how to differentiate the sensations in my new stomach! its so weird but i too have no real cravings which is such a welcome relief! we got this!

Very specifically told no carbonation, alcohol, bread/pasta/rice/beef in first 6-9 months because your stomach cannot digest those like your old once yet.

I had my surgery on the 20th so I am exactly one week out! i was in the hospital two and a half days which was unexpected but absolutely necessary. teh first two days had very rough moments but hte nurses who cared for me could not have been better. ive been off pain meds since saturday which is nice. its hard not to scratch at incision glue its so itchy! my emotions are bit scambled but not terrible. hard for me to sleep and hit protein goal but at only one week out thats not bad. each day gets better

i have heard that. i think warmer or luke warm liquids go down easier in the first few weeks. so i added broth to my liquid diet yesterday and that was good.

thank you so much!!!

I had mine on July 20 and stayed in hospital for almost three days pain is a whole lot better than the first two days my god it was agony. But nurses are angels and now being at home is nice. I’m trying to sip every 15 minutes one tiny med cup worth of water or protein shake and it’s hard to tell what is what . I still get a somewhat painful inner burp pain but it’s normal.

Heading to hospital now I’m so nervous!!!!

thank you so much! im so excited!
