For those of you who have had the Plication surgery, how are you all feeling about it so far? No matter what stage you're in or how far along you are!

That's awesome...except I think I caught your stall, LOL! I've been stuck at 12 lbs for almost 5 days now. It is just two weeks today since the surgery, so overall I think the loss is ok, but I didn't want to stall so quickly.

I'm working on my third week post op. I lost 13 pounds the first two weeks and this week nothing. I'm worried I'm eatting too much. I'm keeping my calories at 900 but I'm still not losing the way I thought I would. I have had some days that I've fallen off the "eat heathy" plan but I track it all in fatsecret.com Since I have the band too I'm some what dissappointed that I'm not losing as fast as I thought I would. That is a lot of money to have this slow a progress. But again there are things that I can do to make this more of a success which is work out. I've been lazy on that account. I'll probably do better if I work out every day. I plan to work out tonight and every day after. Will keep every one updated. Wish me luck and success please.

My wife and I are having plication in less than a month. We are trying to hide this from everyone and take it to our graves. Will we be able to get away with it?

I only told my 3 closest friends. Everyone else including all of my family thinks I had hernia surgery. The recovery is similar as are the scars.

I am scheduled for surgery at the end of this month and it truly helps reading everybody's journey. I am super excited to have this new ”tool” to help in my weight loss journey, I used to think that people that had any kind of wls was taking the easy way out, but I have come to relize that is far from the case. I wish everyone all three best!!!!!

Tell them you are having hernia surgery. I tried to keep it to myself but slipped and told one person who told everyone. There is a lot of judgement, especially since I had it in Mexico!! Do what you need to do for yourselves. Good luck!

I am 6 days post op and have lost 7 pounds. I have low energy even though I am well hydrated. I have minimal burning and no naseua. I have diareaha today for some reason. I am drinking yogurt, eating broth, popsicles and drinking lots of gatorade. I have one protein shake a day. Working towards getting 2 down! I have no hunger pangs. I actually am enjoying the smell of other people's food and enjoy that almost as much as eating it!

I am looking forward to feeling like myself. Others tell me that is about day 8 or so. Good luck!

I had diareaha on the 6th day as well. I chalked it up to having only liquids for so many days along with so much medication. Also gatorade even on a full stomach can cause diareaha. That is great that you have already lost 7lbs. I gained 5 from surgery (which I guess is normal) and didn't start losing until the end of week 2.

I had to get a refill of the naseua medicine, about 3 days after my last does I was so nauseous I had to take a dramine and then called the doctor. This happened again a week later. I haven't had naseua in 3 days now.
