I am just curious! I am 7 days post op and 10 pounds down. So happy about this! My day of surgery weight was 247 and I would imagine the weight loss will slow down after this week but out of curiosity, can anyone tell me how much they lost in the first 4 weeks? Did your weight loss slow after the first or second week? I'm looking forward to solid foods in about a week and a half, that will be a very nice and WELCOME treat!

Since Monday I was NPO and still could not even have a sip of water, I was really ready for those sips of water. I had no problem with drinking 3 ounces of water in an hour period, but I did tire very easily with

It's like this extreme hunger pain that would only feel relieved if my stomach growled. Does that make any sense at all? All in all things have gone well since Monday afternoons surgery. I did have some dry heaving and am finding the protein drinks difficult as in sort of a queasy feeling. I have been trying the chicken soup flavor protein, chocolate dream and now powerade mixed with protein powder. Any other suggestions?
How about the gas pockets? All in my chest area. I've been

I have not been blogging and today I decided that I am going to need all of the support I can get. Being so busy in the last few weeks I have not paid much attention to prepping properly, concentrating on the big changes ahead and becoming mentally prepared. I am really excited about the changes that will come with this surgery and I pray I can stay strong and positive and follow through with the plan!
I do equate food with a lot of socializing and use for some emotional comfort
