The weight loss is odd in that it seems so slow and then a chunk falls off.

Hi Heather,

I didn't realize it was you since you changed your picture. I just wanted to reach out and say hi to one of my old surgery buddies.
You look beautiful, but you always did. I struggle...

Weird that this subject came up now because I just noticed the same thing.
I didn't overeat or anything, but I introduced a few more carbs and I lost 2 pounds in 4 days and then another 2 pounds 3...

I haven't told anyone either and I'm not planning on it.
I purposely don't eat with people who don't know because I think it's pretty obvious considering my old eating habits.
I have thought about...

I felt pretty much the same way after surgery. I can only speak for myself but food was a major part of my every day life. My head hunger was pretty loud until I started puree. It gets so much better...

Happy for you!!

I wonder if it is because you are eating real food too soon? I was 2 weeks liquid and then 4 weeks puree and did not have a real bite of food until 6 weeks post op. It sure felt like forever to me...

Congratulations Deb!! I'm so happy to hear you are doing so well!!

I find it much easier to not be as hungry, but I am eating protein and following my plan.
When I visit my doctor's office there seems to be 2 types of patients he is dealing with.
He is either...

I am only 7 weeks out, but I was 2 weeks late the first month, but I heard that can happen when you are eating so few calories.
Then last week I got it after only 2 weeks but it only lasted for half...

You look great!

Thanks for your reply. I remember my nut telling me it would be harder to eat in the morning and easier as the day goes along.
I am the complete opposite and I have no idea why:)

I am 6 weeks out and I can feel hunger too if I don't eat my protein. I actually feel mild hunger again, which doesn't phase me because I should be hungry with as little as I'm eating. But I am...

I was wondering if anyone else had this issue. I am able to eat better in the morning, but after 5PM I can barely get 2 or 3 bites in of food. It just seems so odd to me that I can get in 2 ounces...

Lee,
Wow, you're right, worrying that I'll be successful is actually making me edgy. A part of me keeps waiting for the other shoe to drop.
I never even thought about that until you wrote...

I just wrote a post about all the emotions etc., I have been feeling now since my surgery as well.
I realize how much I used food to soothe my rough edges and stuff down my feelings.
It's nice that...

Thanks to all of you for your replies!! I think one of the weirdest things is most of us have spent so much of our time thinking about our weight.
Somewhere in my subconscious a part of me always...

So I made it to 6 weeks with liquids and pureed food and never strayed off course, so I was really looking forward to finally being able to eat. I wasn't prepared for everything to taste so odd and...

I hope you feel better soon!! I was pretty miserable for the first 3 to 4 weeks. I am also noticing that I can get nausea and feel pain whenever I try something besides my cottage cheese. I'm not...

I don't have an answer, but our weights and surgery dates are so close, so I thought I would share with you my journey so far. I lost less than most people on my pre-op since it was only a week long....

I'm so sorry for your loss.
By now you have already had your surgery and I hope you are resting and on the road to recovery!

you look just beautiful! great job!

I was sleeved two days after you and I am in the same boat. I have to have a shake a day or else I wouldn't even hit 400 calories. My doctor keeps me on puree until 6 weeks so basically I eat cottage...

BillyJ, thank you for your thoughtful post. I feel so much better now, I was in a lot more pain than I expected and it was a struggle not to feel down.
Congratulations to you on your weight loss...

I didn't even realize that there had been reply's on here. Bridget I have been thinking of you often and will send you a message in case you don't see this. I am so happy to hear you are feeling...
