I started eating about a few days early and I vomited alot. Even when it was time to eat solids I still vomited for a couple of weeks.

Thanks all for ur informative comments. I was wondering because I hate BC but GOD hasn't seen fit so its a blessing. I do want one in a couple of years.

Thanks everybody for all your kind comments. *tears* I think you all are right and I know that I am only drinking when I feel down and depressed. I have some medicine but don't like taking them but I am and I will get this under control. @sugarmamma7 it was very encouraging and I really needed to hear that. So as of today I am going to pick myself up and try try again. Luv ya!

@ Rosalind, I too think i was getting enough calories in as an result to my slow weight. However, it is hard for me to get in many calories without the additional carbs or fats. I had my surgery May 16th 2011 and have only lost 28-30 lbs and this was my first few weeks during the liquid diet. Im am so glad to see others going thru this cos i have been discouraged from this site due to others success and me constantly comparing dates, weights etc. I know I should have lost alot more by now. It is so discouraging but I just don't wanna give up. I have still been making different choices but some days are better than others.

I had my surgery on May 16th 2011. I was so excited due to my rapid lost which was like 27 lbs in just a couple weeks. Once i began eating normal foods I watched the scale come to a complete stop. I have been on a stall since my 3rd week. Sometimes i would notice i lost 5lbs but that would slowly creep right back up. I feel so helpless and depressed. I used to come to this site to be encourage but now I feel so alone because everyone is losing the weight and yet I am lagging far behind. Due to this I have notice that I have started drinking alcohol which i think isn't good due to the calories. But I feel like I have really given up or having a very nonchalant attitude about losing weight. I get full quicker but still not losing weight. I just don't understand. I have changed my diet and am eating alot healthier and still on a stall!!! AHHHHHH, i feel like screaming and hiding. Someone help me plzzzzzz........

So how did you do it because i have been on a stall and it sounds like we had our surgeries around the same time and were about the same size. I have lost half of what you have done. Im trying to get some new tips.

Congrads my friend. So many reasons to be proud of yourself.

You are doing really great. You should keep your head up because you have surgery a day after me and have lost almost 10lbs more. So I have been trying to figure out if my weightloss is sufficient because i have been on a stall for 2 weeks.

What would happen if one got pregnant too soon after WLS?

Yes, i believe i am eating too fast. SOmetimes i am so hungry that i want to eat fast. And i can eat the same food i ate earlier in the day and then vomit it back up. I know i wasn't suppose to drink during meals but would drink cos the food felt caught in my throat. thanks everyone for ur helpful comments.

Hey all. I was so excited to report that my 7 days post op i lost 19 lbs. Then in my 2 week i was down 28 and now in my third week i completely stopped. As a matter of fact one day the scale said 250 which was my first goal to the very next day saying 255. HUH??? Im confused, i keep losing and gaining everyday. its been a week and i may have lost maybe a lbs but can tell cos my scale isn't digital. I feel like im doing something wrong or im not going to lose the weight. Of course im afraid of failure cos all the other diets were failures. Also, Im on the 4th stage which is reg soft and moist foods. however, i keep vomiting and i don't know if it is cos im eating too fast or what. When i eat, i actually have pains in my stomach that hurt alot. Please tell me this is normal. Love ya each. Sheena

yes every surgeon is different cos i only had to go on liquid diet day before surgery! Hope it works out cos it was torture for me that one day!
