Hello Everyone!

I've been a member for quite a while but this is my 1st post. Today is makes 1 week post-op for me hooray!!!

I look forward to getting to know you through these chats. I am 1 week post-op and have lost 8 pounds but I lost this within he first 4 days and have not lost since? Is that normal? I am still on full liquids and can only walk a little bit as I am still recovering. I've read some of your stories and successes and I am so looking forward to being another success.

Thank you all for sharing your experiences.

Hi chunky chick!! I'm the days out and doing fine. Glad you're doing ok. If I can help you in any way let me know. Its all love over here ma

Congrats on your new tummy. My advice would be to stop weighing yourself daily. I only weigh once a week (I'm five weeks out). I'm down 30lbs so far but in the last two weeks only 3 pounds each week. Just starting to be able to tolerate "normal" food and working out a lil bit. It will all come with time. Just do the things you're supposed to and enjoy your new life. :-)

Thanks! I'm feeling some love now. I will try 1 time a week, otherwise I will drive myself crazy. Thanks!

Hi, I'm one week out today and lost 8 lbs. I weighed myself everyday and was making myself crazy. I even got up in the middle if the night and jumped on the scale! I'm going to TRY to only do it weekly from now on.

I know! it's so hard not to. You want to step on and have pounds magically disappear and when that doesn't happen, you start filling your mind with negativity and self-doubt. Let's make a vow to only weigh 1 time a week.

Do not weigh every day! I am 8 months out and am obsessed with the scale! It defines my mood for the day and it sucks! I try not to do it all the time but I can't stop! Many people on this site only weigh once a month and if you can do it I would recommend it. I don't have the willpower to pull off a monthly weigh-in.

[chunkychick 54]

Once a month would be torture! lol maybe I can pull a bi-weekly weigh in off. lol

I weigh myself daily, but for some reason it doesn't bother me what the scale says. I can tell other ways I am losing & go by that more than the scale.

I know!! it does but when it does not budge, panic sets in.

Yes! 2 weeks of full liquids is what the Dr told me and then will go on mushy/soft foods. I can't say I am looking forward to that. Something about pureed foods just is not appetizing to me. What about you?
