Hi! I am new to ALL of this. This is my first time on the website and i just has the surgery 10 days ago and my sister had it Monday. Everyone thinks the hard part is over but I think it's just starting... Any tips?

I need some tips too. I am 9 days post op and I have Iost only 6 lbs since last week. also honestly I don't ever feel full, but I am never hungry either. I am scared when I start eating solids I will overheat. I stick to my diet but honestly I am only eating maybe 300 calories on a good day. Maybe I am starving myself. Starting to get that buyers remorse everyone goes through. I have been through to much to not lose weight. Someone tell me it will be ok!

Baltomomma- I am SO there with you. Only a day ahead. I have the buyers remorse too! Why didn't I exercise more? Eat less? Go through with this? It's such a bad feeling... Making me so anxious. Maybe we an get through this together!

Hang in there guys! The first month really is the worst but please belive me when I say it gets better. I'm three months out and I'm starting to feel normal! It was hard to feel full at first also but just don't eat more than the 1/3 cup. Some food makes u feel full faster than others. I used to look so foward to my transition weeks it was all I could talk about, now I just look forward to trying on a new shirt in the new stores I can shop at. I know it's hard but keep looking forward its worth it!!!

Thanks! That helps to hear that. Did anyone have a metallic taste in their mouth? Or when you went to the bathroom was it almost diaherrea ( sorry)

I'm jealous you can go to the bathroom at all! LOL I have yet to pass gas 5 days out and I'm so uncomfortable.

I do sometimes. Just waiting to get to the puréed stage next week after my2 week appt. I can't wait to eat real food again. What did u guys all eat during that phase?

I'm not there yet either. I get some foods next week. I'll let you know.

The first month is the worst just have patience. I am 9 weeks out I lived on Sugar free popcicles and sugar free jello, oatmeal, broth it gets easier and easier

I was worried to cause I couldn't go but my dr told me its perfectly normal cause you don't have nothing in there but liquids

Where is everyone from I'm from California

I'm from Kansas City, Mo. and boy oh boy can I ever relate! I have lived on 2 protein shakes, sugar free popsicles, and broth for 2 weeks pre-op and now one week post op. I get all excited at the thought of cottage cheese and green beans..I know, tthats sad. I guess I have some buyers remorse, when I think of al the sagging old people skin I'm going to have to deal with, but at least, i won't be losing limbs due to my diabetes. I am concerned about gaining once I get to have a little bit of food, but we will see what happens. For the lady with the bowel issues, Not to be crude, but I am blowing out watery stuff 2 to 3 times a day. Just mind boggeling.

I'm very happy to hear you so positive. Not losing limbs is excellent. Diabetics is a horrible thing to have. Unfortunely a lot if ppl have it & very few ppl do something about it & others rather eat & pretend by taking a pill or a needle it will be ok. I say it because I worked as a assistant pharmacist. I seen ppl lose there fingers but kept on eating getting bigger. I wish more ppl would think like you.
