So... Today is a month since surgery (4/8 - 5/8). I got on the scale this morning and was 240.3!!! That's 30.3lbs since surgery!! ... Unless you count the 10lbs of water weight I left the hospital with' date=' then its 40.3lbs!! I wore a pair of pants yesterday that i haven't fit into since 2/2010. Some of my coworkers said they looked too big!! I'm having a rough time with water intake and sometimes i forget a vitamin or two but man... This was the best decision I've ever made for myself!

Way to go!

I can never get all my water in sometimes I feel if I take one more drink im going to explode

Me too! And I'll try and trick myself with some broth and that doesn't work either. It Sucks lol. I know that it is affecting me as well because I do get lightheaded almost everyday... I've gotta get up slow or my head spins.

So happy for you! It's an awesome feeling!

Well I'm 9 days out and 10 lbs down. Doing great with liquid intake not so great on the vitamins. Just forgetting them is all. Ill get on track. I'm at an emergency appt wit my surgeon at the moment bc my major incision sprouted a leak last nite. ( I need to find the humor in it ) I didn't have a drain or anything after surgery so not sure what he will do now. Still waiting and leaking

My survey date was 4/8 so I weighed this morning and am down 23lbs. I'm now 237. I am band to bypass and the lowest I got with the band was 214. I feel I won't be super happy till I'm below that...

Do you all find the further you are out the more water you can drink

Geez I hope so! I am always thirsty now because of the heat where I live. Could really use more water. Worried about getting dehydrated during the 120 weather that will happen pretty soon.

I do. I drink all day. No trouble getting in 64 oz. I also find that I take regular drinks, instead of sipping. Never causes any discomfort so I keep doing it. On my way to first follow up now. Gonna mention this and see if its a problem. Sometimes I worry that all this water will stretch my pouch.

Awww man, I think we have been at 106 already this year a few times. I want to move somewhere that isn't so friggin hot! I don't remember what winter is like, but I love my little moments at night when it is only 70 or so and nice and cool!

Winter time its normal to be -30 below, and the high 90's during the summer. Throw in the humidity and its blah. Id take dry heat any day.

The same thing happened to me and it was a bad infection on the plus side once alot of the infection came out it relieved the bad pain i had in that spot

Yay! That's great your half way to it in just a month!
