I'm on day 7 out of 14. the first 3 days were extremely hard. Day 4 and 5 were slightly better. Once you get to Day 6, the hunger pains start going away. Now at Day 7 I barely feel hungry at all until like 2-3 pm. It is definitely dooable, you just need to focus and get past the beginning hurdle. The longer you go without food, the easier it becomes. When you start cheating your body starts to expect food again, which makes it worse because then its like starting from Day 1 again if that makes sense. Stay strong!

Congratulations! That had to feel GOOD!

That's crazy too. But I get it. I'm just happy to be back to feeling "me".

Yes most definitely! I did the 64 oz and more, and was worried that I was stretching my pouch and unable to eat. I did some online research and found that you cannot stretch your stomach with water, but it sure felt like it!

It has gotten quite a bit better so on a good path here. Thanks for your concern all.

Congrats! , have a shake on me.

As of today's weigh-in, I've officially lost exactly 100 pounds since I began this journey. I lost 58 prior to surgery and 42 since surgery! Yay!

I have been out for a couple of hours and feel like death warmed over. Hope you all have a better time of it.

Been out of surgery a few hours now and I feel amazing! I’m happier now than I was when I got approved! My pain is very minimal, I don’t have much gas and what little I do have is not uncomfortable at all. Although I wasn’t able to drink water earlier I did request it to rinse my mouth and rub it around my gums and surprisingly once the dryness was gone it felt as if I had drank the cup so deff try this. I’m equally excited for all of you guys too and wish you an excellent recovery. Yo-Yo Girl from New York City

Yikes! I also used top doc and A rated hospital - 25 K for lower body with outer thigh plus a bit of bum work and breasts surgery 2 a separate 9 k for inner thighs and surgery 3 9 k for arm with side and back of torso. I had mine done in a high cost area but would not rule out 1 or 2 hours away. - CT or NJ. Even Long Island Get a few quotes whatever you do then go with what you are comfortable.
