My surgery is the 21st. Is there any other late June people here to share stories and support? Could use buddies!

That salad looks so good it has made my tummy rumble - I didn't think it even had the ability to do that anymore! I'm totally going to have to copy you and have that for dinner

Had a glass of wine tonight. Late birthday celebration. It didn't affect me differently but I did take over an hour to drink it. Lol. I kept taking sips of water in between. And, yes, it was ok on my plan.

I'm doing the same...nursing it, but it's lovely to have a bit of Pinot Gris!

That is what I like too @@ShelterDog64 . Nice to be in good company about so many things.

I agree!!

Wow. I miss red wine. Went off a few months before surgery and my surgeon does not green light alcohol for one year or maitenance.

I drank a glass of wine yesterday at a lularoe party, i would say i have 1-2 glasses/week and it's working for me, my Dr is fine with it (by the way, lularoe is a great line of clothes for when you're losing weight bc it's flattering, stretchy and grows/shrinks with you! If you get invited to one of the events definitely go)

Same here! I have been dropping like crazy this week. Took me forever to get past 260 and now I'm like 253 after just a few day (in pajamas lol no shoes)

I love this forum. I'm glad to know that some of the symptoms I have are normal. I am 6 weeks post op and I have lost 47 lbs. I am almost halfway of my goal. I'm just waiting for the 'stall' to happen. I am only able to eat 2-3 bites at a time. And small bites. It takes me about 2 hours to get a 10oz protein drink down. I have started eating soft foods but everything upsets my stomach. I do drink about 50oz of water a day. By mid afternoon I am exhausted. I have to tell myself to eat or I would go all day and not eat. I know it will get easier and I'm happy with my results.

My day was last Monday. I am 4 days out . Feeling pretty good. I am hoping someone can answer a few concerns. The first thing I noticed wasx my neck hurt. Still does. Any thoughts on Way? Then I pain understand my breast bone. Just wondering why.

@@cln39 Wow, 47 lbs since surgery is AWESOME!! Congratulations! I've lost 37 and I'm feeling pretty good about myself

@@Ruby1 The neck pain could be from positioning during surgery or sleeping positions post-op. If it's your throat vs your neck, it could be from the endotracheal tube that helped you breath during surgery. But, combined with pain under your breastbone, you probably should call your surgeon or his/her office and tell them about your symptoms. Do you go for a 1 week checkup?

Stall still in control. Hoping to see a chunk gone soon. I see my surgeon next week and want to be able to demonstrate a good loss! Ok, I want it for my own selfish reasons too.
