Hi everyone who is having surgery in October 2014. We can start a new topic for those of us who have had surgery already.

This is the spot were we will all end up, were we'll share our stories and recovery. It will be a new dawn for so many of us. Let's stay close as united we will conquer anything that comes our way!

I guess I have finally hit the dreaded stall. I have been the same weight for the last 3 days. I have lost 32 pounds so far and had my surgery just a little over 4 weeks ago. I am on my period (tmi, sorry) so that may have a little to do with it. I hope the stall doesn't last long, it's very frustrating.

I am so happy!! :-)

So, it took me 30 minutes to eat it and I still couldn't finish it all. Such a strange feeling! My pouch was making little grumbling noises as I was eating it. Probably wondering what this new stuff is I am putting into it! :-)

That's awesome!

Whoohoo!!!! It is a strange feeling, isn't it?!

The nurse called me back this morning. I have to go in next Thursday and have a scope out down my throat. She said they may have to dilate the opening a bit. I should not be having reflux. :-(

A very strange feeling! I just whipped up some tuna salad and some egg salad for later. I think I puréed the tuna too much. It looks more like tuna paste. Lol. Live and learn!

Ugh, that doesn't sound fun. I hope it isn't anything too serious and it will be easy for you!

On a good note.....finally ummmm, ya know! Amazing!!!! But I only got about 3 1/2 hours of sleep so my honey let me sleep in this morning and be late for work. So I just got up at 9:30!! Better get my butt in the shower now and go help him at work! (We work together)

Woo hoo!! Doing the happy dance for you! Well, as well as I can from my recliner.

I tried to get them to give me something for nausea and it was like pulling teeth. I still don't have anything, and I feel nauseous quite a bit.

@@amylynns Woohooo! Lol...I'm still waiting, hopefully soon!
