I lost 13 at two week post op visit. I had my surgery the day after you 10/23. I am barely eating anything either...but have only lost 1 pound since. The doc did tell me that it would start coming off way slower and that my body would start to balance itself and not to be surprised if I gained a few pounds back. He encouraged me to stay off the scale if I thought it would be discouraging. At first I didn't think I had any restriction, but now I think I do. I get hungry only twice a day and never wake up hungry...so wierd. Anyway...hang in there...I think it is all part of the process til we start eating regularly and then find the sweet spot I keep hearing about!

I had liquid hydrocodone and I also asked for Zofran (which dissolves in your mouth and knocks out the nausea). I would call and ask for both. I am finishing day 5 and it is WAY better than day 1. I only took a half a dose of pain meds all day today.

I am have surgery on 10/23 with Dr. Enochs. I am in Gboro...they usually call me back although it may take a day or so...I just feel like he is worth it.
