Just wondering if it is normal that I haven't had any problems eating or drinking anything since my surgery date. It feels like I could eat anything that I wanted. Only differance is that I don't want to eat everything in sight anymore. It's a weird feeling not to think about food anymore.

I am down 12 lbs since surgery and go for my first fill on July 8th.

Not sure what is causing the pains. It could be a combination of overdoing it on the activity and not great food choices. You may want to call your Doc. just to be sure. When I get that "stuck" pain is does go away quickly if I get up and walk around. How are things for you today?

Actually I feel good today. I have been trying to get a full 8 hr sleep this week and am careful with my food. I have worked all day, walked a mile, and eaten and I don't have any pain - I can still feel a mild restriction after walking pretty fast - but I would say I am 100% better. Thanks for the advice. You have done great on your weight loss!

Thats great that you are no longer in pain. I would just mention the whole thing to your Dr. when you see him.

I wasn't sure what starting weight to use when I created my ticker. As of last Tues. at Weight Watchers I was down 61lbs, my ticker starting weight is from when I started the program for the band back in November. Unfortunately my insurance wouldn't approve me for the band unless I had a BMI of over 40, and would only use the weight from the surgeon's office which was taken the end of April. I actually had to gain 10lbs back before my weight check in April! It was crazy to think that I was trying to get approved for a weight loss surgery and had to gain weight?? Glad that's over.

I feel a little left out that I haven't experienced that pain of food getting stuck. Perversely, it makes me want another fill. I am back to losing a pound or more per week, so I guess I shouldn't complain!
