Finding myself becoming more and more depressed I haven't lost any weight since my doctors appointment on the 14th. I am trying to do my best with the diet. I know I'm nt taking in the proper Water but I'm getting better. So far the only thing that makes me sick is whey protien shakes. Go figure the one thing I need my pouch don't like, and. I broke down and ate a oatmeal raisin cookie and nothing happen. I don't know I just feel like I'm not going to succeed with anything. In guess I just need a pick me up or something to keep me on track. I live in the middle of no where and have really nothing to do :( woe is me:(

Are you walking? I've heard that just because you're not losing lbs doesn't mean your not losing inches. Sometimes the weight redistributes itzelf for optimal weight loss. Hang in there and dont give up! Its only been a little over 2 weeks...my surgery is tomorrow morning at 7 a.m....we can do this together :)....

Thank you...i cant sleep because of the anxiety. We'll motivate each other. I'll contact u tomorrow if the hospital has wifi

The bariatric center that I'm going through has you c a physical therapist that shows you all of thee neat exercises that can be done immediately after surgery. I've been doing them for the past two weeks and i dont know if I've lost any weight but people have noticed that I look more tone. The say my mid section isnt as large :)...I dont own a scale because it will make me obsess a out it. Ive heard others say use a tape measure instead...r u taking pics once a week and looking at them?

Forgot to mention there are some weeks I don't loose anything and some weeks where I loose a lot making sure you get in all fluids is a big deal though so even if you have to eat a whole box of sugar free Popsicles so be it just make sure your getting your Fluid intake because not getting enough fluid will make your body retain Water and make you have water weight on!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
