I'm four weeks post surgery, down almost 20lbs since surgery day. I feel almost normal, it's awesome. I can eat whatever I want (but don't because, seriously, bread & pasta just fill me up without any protein). I stick to protein and veg and protein shakes.

I can drink water but only with a LOT of Ice (or it makes me nauseous). I can gulp 3-5 gulps at a time.

Eating is still trial and error... I think I'm not done and then I'm too full and it's uncomfortable.

I quit my antacid pills last week and I haven't needed them.

My energy is normal, I have no pain anywhere.

My total weight lost since 4/8 is almost 30lbs and two ladies in the lunch room noticed today, which was nice :-)

I just thought I'd give a little update to those of you about to have surgery or at the very beginning :-)

I'm at 5 weeks post op down 41 lbs but not doing as good as you are on the food. I used to drink a lot of water now I can't stand it. Everythi g I eat or drink is making me feel like puking. I know it will get better and yes I love the results so far.
