It's strange to step on the scale and the pounds are just falling off 4-5 lbs. a day. But I guess with eating only about 500 calories a day that will do it.

Still feeling weak though...I thnk my two days of trotzkies did me in. I don't think I can go back to work on Tuesday.

Anyone else ready to get back to work yet?

Lost 10 lbs. in the week before surgery on liquid diet and have lost 11 lbs. this week. Total of 21 lbs. Yippee!!!

Just put on some jeans that hardly coveerd my butt before and the waist pulls all the way up in the back!!!

Went through a box of clothes last night...Found pants the next 3 sizes down from what I wear now. At least that will help get me through without buying a lot. I have a lot of stretchy tops that will work for a while...instead of being stretched out they should start fitting well.

I didn't go on the scale today but yesterday I was 7 down from surgery total of 14 from liquid diet.< /p>

I have 1 large incision from where my lap-band, port and stomach. It's about 5 inches long. I am having horrible pain from it. The other 4 I can't even feel. The pain at times makes me scream! Not fun.

From what I hear you lost mostly Water on the first week of the liquid diet, so the pounds lost the second week are fat coming off. Goodby and good riddance!!! Anyone remember the old routine..."Go You Chickenfat Go." OMG my high school gym teacher used to play that record and we exercised to it. No idea why I just remembered that!!

dim59 I can imagine that hurts. I had a 12" long incision down my abdomen when I had gall bladder and hernia surgery a few years ago. That takes a while to heal.

I've gone from 350 to 329. It will be nice to see that first number be a "2" soon!!!

Wow!!! Those are some great numbers you guys are pulling!!! I've lost 5 since surgery and 7 the week before... I will be happy with that!!! Has anyone started walking or anything for exercise?? I wanted to today, but this morning I had an episode of weakness and felt kind of faint. It passed, but I took it as a sign to not push it today.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
