i almost hate to post this because I see so many posts from people who are stalled or disappointed that the weight is not coming off as soon as expected. I know for those people that it will eventually happen, because you can't eat as little as we are eating and the weight not come off eventually.

So far, I have lost 19 pounds since I weighed two weeks before my surgery. I didn't have an extended pre-surgery diet--- just one day juice diet prior, but I had lost a few pounds before the surgery date. I have had no nausea, have not thrown up once and had no real issues to speak of. The worst part of this was the barium swallow test at the hospital

I know that everyone says not to weigh yourself every day, but so far, every day shows a drop.... so until that stops, I'm going to keep checking.

I was so afraid that this wasn't going to work for me, but I am thrilled so far and sticking to the diet has not been a problem, though I have had to stop watching "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives" -- and the Big Mac commercials have never looked so delicious as they have the past few days.

I am liking the EAS Protein drinks and the Designer whey Protein To Go Drink Mixes ( the orange and lemonade favors). These are really good and have 10 grams of protein each-- just mix with a bottle of Water. I do find them a little bland so I mix a little Crystal Lite with them to give more flavor.

I hope everyone will have the same success that I am initially having.... and that you'll all be there to encourage me when it stalls!

Congratulations! Can't wait to join you on the loser's bench!

Congratulations!

Wohho!!!!

Thanks so much for the postive thoughts, some really good info. Love this site! - I will stop stressing -

Way to go. I too have been very lucky!! However, my stall has happened and getting on the scale every day isn't as fun as it was when I first got home. LOL. I plan to keep doing what I am doing and I know it will come off. Keep the positive happy attitude. Can't wait to hear about your progression.
