That is awesome! I'm so happy for you. I too have a problem with taking my vitamins religiously and feel the same way. I'm 29 days post op and have lost a total of 30 lbs. and am now at a stall. It's very frusterating and I'm trying not to get on the scale everyday...lol. I've been good as far as how much I've been eating. Thank God I have not thrown up (hate it)! I've got to that "too full" feeling but that was it. I also am similar in the way that I view myself. I don't really see that 30 lbs. lost anywhere. I look in the mirror and am disgusted. I've been with my husband for almost 20 years and he has NEVER seen me naked...maybe a bit tmi but I feel like were similar in a few ways and you would understand. :-) Overall I know I made the right decision and it's going to take time and support from family, friends, and places like this....

Thanks so much to ALL of you for your replies! I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one that this is happening to. I'm still the same at 30 lost total and trying not to get on that darn scale everyday...lol. I'm actually on an antacid and have been since the first day after surgery...maybe i've just got more build up than usual. Some days is more than others. I have a follow up appointment with the doc and my nutritionist this Thursday, so I'll address it with them as well. Good luck to all of you and thanks again! Lynda

Hello All! My name is Lynda and I'm 25 days post-op (had my gastric sleeve done on April 25). I live in Southern New Jersey and had my surgery done by Harish Kakkilaya with the Salem Surgical Group. I've lost a total of 30 lbs. - 12 pre-op/18 post-op thus far. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced the following? 1. I have not lost any additional weight in the last week even though I'm following the program. Has anyone else experienced this and if so what jump started the weight loss again? 2. In between meals I seem to be experiencing what I would call a hunger "pang" and sometimes burning/and indigestion. I'm having a bit of difficulty in drinking 48-64 oz. of liquids per day - could this be the cause of these? This whole blogging thing is all new to me, so I apolgize if I'm doing it wrong....lol. I look forward to and appreciate any help or information that anyone has. Thanks to everyone and have a GREAT day!
