For those that have had the surgery so far' date=' are you already noticing a change in how your clothes fit you?[/quote']

Yes. What I was wearing is too big but a size smaller is just barely too small. I'm two weeks post op.

It moved!!!!!!! 2lbs!!!! I think I just heard angels sing. Lol

Super Congrats Jeepchick. I understand the frustration of getting stuck so soon. I'm 2 weeks out and down 13 lbs and I've been stuck for days. I had my post op visit and talk to the nut and she said I'm simply not getting in enough calories. I'm trying hard but man some days are better than others. I know I need to up my Protein and get in more calories but most days I'm hitting maybe 50 on protein and 400 calories. Argh! I never thought I would simply just not be interested in food to the point that I forget about eating until someone reminds me.

Had surgery on Monday and home now. Surgery went great and now trying to figure out how I'm supposed to drink 64oz of Water and 4 Protein Shakes. I'm loving being on part two of this life changing journey!

Surgery went great! I've been doing well. The staff is impressed. I don't have a drain tube so I have vomited blood twice but feel better!

I have walked 6 laps and drank almost a 20ounce g2 in 12 hours which is slow but with all my nausea it is great.

I will update later. Once again Thank you for ALL the prayer!

Sip By Sip.....Take your time and "TRY" to get in all of you fluids and protien. while this is very important it may take you a day os too to get into the groove. be patient....this is s learning process

im 8 days post-op and just learned last night that since the nerves in your pouch are not really active "yet"..... a good indicator of fullness is belching.

just measure out your shakes, water etc. and just a sip or two then wait. my surgeon has in my pre op book i should be able to intake 6 oz of water per hour if i sip it.....check with you instructions/surgeon for their expectations....

good luck. keep us posted.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
