Out of the Plus sizes.... Yahooooo!!!! I went to buy an outfit for Saturday's party and went in to my usual store Debs plus sizes . I picked up a size smaller which is size 16 too big I went and got size 14 still to big. I ask the sales person if there was something smaller in the plus sizes and she said " the other side of the store" regular sizes. I decieded to try a 13 thinking " they're not gonna fit" I'm going to have to buy the big jeans. GUESS what? ........ THey fit.!!! I am so happy I haven't been in the regular sizes in years. Im still amazed and soooo happyyyyy!!! I am so happy with this accomplishment...

Depends what type of job you have, I am a banker and my Dr said I would be ready in 2weeks after surgery. I went for my follow up then and still did not feel up to it so my Dr gave me 2 more weeks so I had a total of 4 weeks. I believe if your job consist of heaving lifting you are giving 4-6 weeks

21 days on liqued diet and 8th day on clear liqued diet and i dont think i can see anymore chicken broth yuk, I dont even want to smell it ughhhh Im afraid if i skip drinking the broth it might cause a problem i have 5 more days and then i go back to semi liquieds I think i can even have a hard boiled egg and tuna. Whats even more frustrating I have only lost 5lbs since surgery 5/02/2011. I have seen some people loose 10-15 7 days post op... Should i skip the broth?

Thanks for the respond i was starting to feel I was alone in the slow wieght lost..... I was thinking maybe Im going to be the one it did not work for ... I went out to supermarket yesterday and bought beef broth and yes i think Im going to stick with once a day on broth I wont start my full liq diet until Friday so I have a couple of days to go. I was looking up some info and I also got feedback that maybe i was not getting enuf protien so I bought what is called a protien shot it has 26 grams of protien no sugars, now I just have to figure out how im going to drink it between my 60oz of Water -
not enuf water ( I think)

Im not on menopause yet, I added more Water yesterday to see if it get better but it seems to happen anyway especially in the mornings, I think I will call the Dr today to see what he says.... Thank you for the response. -

10 days post up! Hungry as heck!
alex0808 replied to happy2behere's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am 5 days post op and I am also very hungry and I agree I have been dreaming about food ever since my pre op diet. I just cant wait to eat and I dont want to eat sweets or anything a good healthy meal salmon, fish, tiliapa even a hard boil egg would make me happy. I dont think the hunger hormone was removed either. I have lost 3 lbs since surgery and 19 pounds total from my pre op diet. I have been chewing sugar free gum to calm the anxiety and it helps a little. I am still clear liq. I cant even have a yogurt. My meals consist of 4 oz of Jello 4 oz of chicken broth and 4 oz of protien drink oh and 60 oz of Water. I also want food!!!!!!!!!! -
