I must be a slow loser but I haven't done any workouts of any kind... so 10 pounds... for the first month doesn't seem good at all. Any advice would be appreciated thanks dears. And I totally forgot about me one week check up to add that so down 18pounds and 20 on pree op diet.. fun fun.

I have tried a few things: chicken kabobs' date=' brisket nachos, ham and cheese pinwheels (I removed most of the tortilla), beef stew, baked potato, chicken salad, and a couple prepared melas from My Fit Foods. My tummy seems to handle everything ok, but of course I can't eat very much of any of it. I may get 4-5 bites in, then I am done. The only food that really bothers me are breads. They feel like bricks in my stomach, so I stay away from those. Are you eating solids now?[/quote']

No not yet I am in stage 2 and I drink a lot of fluids, cottage cheese, Peanut Butter, sf Jello, sf apple sauce etc.... I miss food but I love my results

Today is my official 1 month surgiversary! Down 36.6 lbs. I was stalled for a bit, lost 2lbs, stalled a bit again, then I upped my Water intake and I dropped another half pound. Today I start swimming, my incisions are no longer scabbed so I'm hitting the pool today with the kids! So excited. I've been waiting to go with them

As much as I want to be upset about "only losing 36lbs in a month" I can't be... Nearly 40lbs?! I'm please. I can't wait to see where I am next month! Hope everyone is doing well, I love reading everyone's progress!

Try Melatonin. My Dr recommended and I was surprised but it worked.
