You have lost a great amount of weight since your surgery, Congratulations!! Is there any advice out there you can give to help me lose like you have? are you exercising? if so doing what? anything will help! Thanks!! Aimee aka Radish!

Congratulations!!! I love love love, almost 2 months in and still love it, Vitamin Water. when I was at your stage i would drink about half a container (comes in 591 ml) a day (as well as some water) it comes in a whole bunch of flavors and if you have it really really cold it feels like a treat! I stopped losing weight (like i said, i had knee surgery) for almost a week and a half, and for a week before that I was slow to lose weight. So I sat back and thought what am I doing differently now that is preventing me from losing weight when it flew off a few weeks ago. It may not be true or not but I stopped drinking the vitamin water, this week i had started drinking it again(only because i love it!) and I've lost 6 pounds this week! I couldnt really do the shakes...I got bored. I had broth, i made instant soup and strained out the noodles, I had Jello! sooo good! There is a blog out there that you should read, it helped me out with any stage you are in (the blogger had the surgery herself and is a foodie and has tried to make great recipes) www.theworldaccordingtoeggface.com .

Hi everyone! I had the surgery in Mexico October 22 2010. So far I have lost 25 pounds. Very fast weight loss the first two weeks then almost flatline! however i was told that if you have your period dont expect weightloss (had that) but it was still discouraging. Then started losing weight again and went in for knee surgery! I know with not being able to walk all that much or do any exercising for the next couple of weeks I will be discouraged again with the lack of weightloss however I havent cheated once and know that this is the start of a new life and am excited for that!! Its been a month since the surgery and I know that I can start on solids however I just dont feel ready! still only eating a few bites of pureed foods. the thicker the foods the less I can have of it. but if its a broth Soup i can have about a cup (over 20 minutes) is there anyone else out there that didnt start solids right away? I have been sick twice because of eating too much. Really probably one bite too much and it didnt sit well at all, so much pain. And I dont want that with eating solids. Thanks for the replies! Aimee

I went to TJ October 22nd to have my surgery. Great experience, felt comfortable, safe and Ready!!! After surgery, a little pain, a little uncomfortable (stitches right at the edge of my "roll of fat'' so everyonce in a while I felt a pull. other than that everything was great!

I hope your appointment went well (yesterday was the 16th). I couldn't wait the 3 years and ended up going down to Mexico to have the surgery (VGS) only 5k and a great experience down there. Little pain and have only been sick once when I ate about 1 bite too much of my pureed foods!
