My surgery was Tuesday and today i got on the scale and had gained.

I thank all of you for your words of encouragement and honest comments,I really needed this I'm so glad that I'm not in this alone.

A big motivator for me are the horror stories of complications people have because they didn't follow doctor's orders. Michele is right the risk is DEATH!!! Death is final and it's definitely not worth pizza. I feel your pain. I LOVE pizza and lived on it before surgery. Now I'm not eating it not only because it's an unhealthy choice but also because my doctor told me how it could tear a hole in my pouch and the consequences are deadly. I don't think surgery was a mistake for you but perhaps you weren't ready mentally. That doesn't mean all hope is lost. Read some self help books about eating, see a counselor, pray about it and come on this site for support. We are all going through it with you and will tell you the truth even when it hurts because we want you to succeed and live a longer happier life. God bless you. I will be praying for you. We can all get through this together.

6 days after me cool

How much have you lost?

Michele you gave some really good advice that I even needed to hear. I am having my surgery in 3 days March 11th and I really needed to hear your statements. I am with you this surgery is giving us a second chance on a healthy life and it is up to each one of us to stay on course. We are giving our stomachs a chance to re-boot so to speak and like a new born baby we need to keep ourselves on water, protein drinks and soup broth for so long then move onto purreed foods like toddler food and back to solid food in time. I wish everyone great success and we can do this together. Best wishes to all of you. Cheryl
