Update for those considering this surgery. I am 9 days post surgery. I have lost 12 pounds. I developed an infection at the iv site and I have diarrhea from milk products. So, I am drinking whey Protein mixed with rice milk for protein. Eating broth, drinkable yogurt and Popsicles mostly. I am experiencing ZERO hunger and I really hope that continues!! I am not working yet. I don't have enough stamina, probably because I am not getting much in the way of protein.

So far, I am very pleased with the surgery. I am healing well, feeling pretty good and losing weight. The side effects are as they told me they would be. Nothing that has happened has been out of the expected outcome. I have lost 22 pounds total when you add the 10 pounds I lost pre-op.

Hope you feel better soon. Best wishes on your weight loss journey.
