I had my surgery December 17th.. and since then I have lost 19 pounds. 6 pounds pre op and 13 pounds post op. It has not been too bad, but a MAJOR lifestyle change. I cannot wait until I get over the pain of the surgery so I can feel somewhat normal. I go back to the doctor January 8th and a pray to God that my vitamin levels are ok. I have been getting all my supliments down but the protein is sooo hard. I am sooo glad I had the surgery. I am.so ready to become healthy and stay that way!

Good for you! Keep us posted on your progress! ????

Congratulations! Recovery can be pretty hard - but you'll probably wake up one day and feel perfectly normal

Yay for a healthy recovery!

@@Queen P you and I have the same surgery date! I've only lost 5 ½ pounds post op.

Thank you all sooo much...I just had my first breakdown..cried like a baby... just want to feel somewhat normal. .

I got my breakdown out of the way last week . Fortunately, water isn't a problem for me. I was having some issues and got scanned for a leak yesterday and no leak . But back to clear liquids and skim milk for 2 more weeks. Hungry! And pain in the largest incision. Other than that - doing good. I completely understand how you feel - but the worst is behind us! We should stay in touch PM me and I'll give my email if you want.

Hi both, I also had surgery on 17th! Looks like you're both doing well, I've lost 18lbs now but only 3lbs post op. Was hoping for a bit more but can see a massive difference in the mirror so am happy with that.

I've not had a melt down yet but everyday is a learning curve and I also find it hard to get Water down!

Good luck!

@@surrey1987 thank you so much and congrats to you! How is your pain from the surgery? I was starting to feel somewhat normal then the pains started again but I started my cycle so I am wondering if that has something to do with it! Not anything too bad!
