Hi Dana! How great to be under 200! I was 199 this morning too, for the first time. I did the happy dance. I was on a stall for almost 3 weeks and finally started to lose again 2 days ago. I was getting really depressed about not losing weight. I also vomited for the first time last night that has me a little worried. Have you ever had that happen? I know it is common, but after 5 wks I was really caught off guard when my food just came back up. It was like a baby spitting up. It was really strange. Otherwise doing well. Back to work full time and just a bit tired. Thanks for catching me up. I hope we are in the 180's soon

Hi. I was 209 before my pre-op diet and 9 days post-op I am 195. I am doing well with the soft foods and just don't sit down and eat with my family which is a big deal because we sit down to dinner every night that we can. It is a little hard to cook for them because I am used to tasting things so I avoid it when I can. I want to hear more about going to Mexico for surgery. I can't imagine when I would have felt like flying.....5 days post-op?
Good Lucks!

Hi, I would like that. Have you started on full liquids yet? I have started on creamy soups and shakes w/milk. I have been weighing everyday but I am going to start weighing once or twice a week I think. I don't have the nerves for everyday anymore! I'm having trouble with my family eating to much in front of me right now so I'm not feeling to great about this right now! But I'm sticking with it! I can get through this, I just wish they were alittle more supportive! Sorry about the rant! I'm really doing great overall and would not go back if I could!. My name is Dana

Hi, looks like we are on a very similar weight and time line. I had my surgery on the 16th and weight on surgery day was 212. I have not stabilized yet and have had some nausea problems, so have not weighted yet. I had to stay an extra day in the hospital until I could eat. I don't know if I am just a big baby or if it is normal to have to stay 2 days. I did walk a half mile today with my husband and actually got in all protein and meals for the first time too. Are you really stuffed trying to "eat'' and drink everything? I suppose it gets better every day. I would like to be friends with someone that is on the same path as me. It is a great motivator to me to have someone to compare notes with. Hope you are doing well. I would love to hear back from you. my name is Julie
