I had my surgery on April 18, 2011 and I have lost 30 pounds. I have not lost a pound since oct. I am frustrated and feel like a junkie of carbs. I eat the right foods, but I also eat small portions of the wrong food from time to time. I can honestly say That there has not been a day I have been absolutely carb free. I work out and enjoy working out, I just feel like I should be doing better. My doc says I should have lost 50-60 pounds by now and I know he's right because I've been messing up. I don't know how to get back on track.
I cough all the time and I have a pain under my rib cage. I'm scared to tell doc for fear he'll tell me he has to take it out. It is a pain identical to the one many of you mentioned in your blog, but mine just started about a month ago.
