Thank you all so much for your honesty and willingness to reply. Im worried that it is not happening as fast as i thought or that its not working for me. I am sticking to the plan and trying to be positive.

Has anyone else noticed that they are a bit emotional after surgery, i definitely have and seem to be tearing up at the smallest of things. I did read that it can be a anesthetic side effect.

Trying to be patient.

It's important not to compare weight loss. There are far too many variables. Our journeys are our own! Stay with the plan. As you are burning fat - your body is releasing stored hormones - making you emotional, depressed, etc. It's very common. Stay strong!

Yes I was more emotional the first few weeks after surgery. I'm 5 weeks out now and that has leveled off now.

I wouldn't worry too much about pauses and even small gains in weight. We all fluctuate with our cycles and the moon ... and whatever evil being is currently focusing on us :)

Seriously though my own weight loss journey has been very up and down (literally). I seem to get stuck on a regular basis and then seemingly overnight I will shift as much as 2 kg and am then left wondering where did it go in 12 hours?

I had a friend who encouraged me to stop weighing myself so often and that worked. I cut down from daily (sometimes even 2 or 3 times a day) to once a fortnight. Now I am much more focused on living than on weight loss ... and I can see that over time the weight has off. It just doesn't happen in a straight line.

It isn't easy ... i was like you at first .. terrified that I would be the one who didn't succeed. It is so hard to let go of that fear and learn to just live again. But please give it a try. It really will make a huge difference to the way you feel. Just trust in the process. It is proven to work so let go of the need to control it and start enjoying your new life.

I have lost 25 pounds in 3 weeks. I am having so many issues with food. I hate the taste of every thing. Then when I drink the shakes or Soup I vomit them up. I will say that I do have regular bm, I am no longer on blood pressure or diabete meds, and I no longer need my sleep apnea machine. Today I have actually started to add fitness to the mix.

My start weight was 274, Surgery weight 250, and I weight 225 this past Thursday.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
