Have already lost some weight and feel pretty good. I do have some concerns - 1. I still get hungry. I am still on liquids only - mostly clear but with protein drinks and I have had some liquid only soup. 2. I feel like I can consume more than was told to me. I can drink a full cup 8-12 onces without any problem at one time. Is this right? 3. Weight loss is fluctuating - I lose some then it comes back then I lose some etc. I was on daily lasix before but now I have cut back to 2x a week. Notice I am still holding fluid when my fingers get swollen up.

The best part is I am off all diabetic meds - no Insulin pump! and my sugars are normal. Fearful this will change when I start to have real food. Anyone have experience with this?

This surgery seems to be a blessing though I know it is a bit early to decide. I feel like it is mostly successful already.

    That was an old post. I am now about 6 weeks out and doing fine. I am eating whatever I want that is protein. I am kind of in a stall. Have lost about 28 lbs since surgery but nothing in last 10 days. I have upped my exercise but that hasn't seemed to do anything. I am hoping one day I will just have a drop like some people have written about. Overall I am feeling great.
    Hope your experience was as good.
