That's great. Keep the nerves away as long as possible! They don't do anything to help us. Lol.

I'm bipolar and also suffer from Generalized Anxiety Disorder. I'm so surprised that I've not freaked out. I'll save that for tomorrow

Yeah. I remember you telling me that a while back. Just count the calm as a much needed break/blessing before surgery. And be on here as much as possible. It has been so helpful for me!

I measured it and its 1.5-2 cups at a time. It takes me about 30 mins to eat it but I'm really worried.

I'm only 4 days post op. So I can only do about 2oz every 15-20 minutes. Everyone is different.

I'm hoping its only because it is liquids right now. Hopefully once there's also some substance with the liquids it'll make us feel fuller without the quantity

I'm 12 days out and I can drink like that too. I think maybe our new stomachs didn't swell as much as others. I know I've been able to take regular swallows since day of surgery. I'm grateful it's been this easy to get the liquids in

Not me. I am 10 days post op and it takes me an hour to drink a cup of flavored water and if I try to drink my Proteins too fast my stomach cramps up an I get nauseous. So it is still sip, sip,sip for me. The good part is I am down 10lbs since surgery.

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
