Hi Sparkle,

I am 12 days out and have only lost 8 lbs. ...I'm just curious how much you lost after 12 days, and is this normal??? It doesn't sound normal when I read where people lose 20 lbs. in 14 days ...thanks!

Isn't that crazzzzy! The night before ...thank the Lord it came back negative ...but that was added stress I didn't need. I need to schedule another surgery to have it removed .

Lunarose thanks so much for the information. It really, really helps. I actually finished a 30 gram protein shake today with NO PAIN yayyyyyy! I haven't tried isopure yet. I don't like clear anything lol. I do have the cream soups and get full really quick, so very similar to your feeling of full.

Awwww thanks Deb...I'm doing soooo much better yayy! I actually finished a 30 gram protein shake today with NO PAIN yayyyy! I was putting way too much pressure on myself early on. I'm taking one step at at time :-)...HUGS TO YOU!

Hugs for tomorrow

OMGOSH girlie! It's this Friday...ok don't worry it will pass. The first couple of days I felt so bad, I felt like maybe I shouldn't have done it, but then my hubby said sweetie you had to do this, and he was right. You may not even have the gas, you know there are some people who never get it. What is so awesome about this surgery is that the hunger you are feeling right now will be GONE. It's hard to believe but it will be GONE. I haven't got hungry once since the surgery, it's amazing. I really only eat (soups/smoothies) because I have to, otherwise I wouldn't.I do get thirsty. So it is a huge blessing, because that was one of my main problems. I would get hungry and over eat. I'm excited for you ...don't worry.

Wow you are blessed! I'm here 11 days out and still have it (not as bad). I think I will move to eggs on Thursday. Yes, I got a b12 shot for the month. No I haven't even started to worry about protein yet. I'm hoping I can just eat high protein foods lol, but we'll see. So, what protein are you using? And how do you know when you are eating too much?

I bought it and have it, but I want to ask Dr. Zane about it first before I take it. I see him on Thursday, I will let you know what he says

I am doing so much better today. I still have the gas pain ugh...I still get tired really easy, but I'm sure that's because I'm not really eating and my body is in SHOCK LOL, but I am able to get more down. I just had a small v8 with no pain YAYYYYY!

I'm SOOOO much better . I still have the gas pain ugh! And I'm tired, but that's probably because I'm not eating and my body is in SHOCK LOL! Today is the first day I think I've gotten the most down. I just had a small v8 with NO PAIN and I finished it YAYYYYY!

Yes I am feeling much better! Still have the gas pain ugh...and get tired very easy, but I'm sure it's because I'm not eating. I think today is the first day I've gotten the most down . I just downed a small v8 with NO PAIN that felt awesome!

WOW 2 miles, my hero LOL! I went out for about an hour on Friday and Saturday and it wiped me out, but I knew I had to get out and walk. I'm glad you are doing sooo good! It's been a tough journey for me so far.
