Lol thank you everyone but I just updated my ticker and it put my weight loss from b4 the surgery all in there. I have lost 41 since surgery and the rest was 1.5 months before surgery. Its good to know that im not the only one in a stall...not tht I want tht for everyone but im glad its somewhat normal. I feel like im an emotional wreck. Does anyone else feel like their emotions are out of control since surgery? I think my husband thinks im going crazy lol. One thing that is hard is I cannot have anything with chocolate in it or dairy now. Im getting sick alot. So its hard to find things tht I like that don't make me sick. My dr. Thought maybe my carbs are up but I don't feel like I eat a lot of carbs...idk. I am trying to figure out this app my fitness pal more so I get better at tracking my food. I really want this tool to work for me. I am starting to feel like a failure. Maybe im just hard on myself. Im not sure who asked this...but yes I had a lot of stomach, intestinal and food problems b4 surgery. I was sick all the time b4 surgery as well. Not very much fun but im kind of use to it now. Thanks everyone for the advice and input. I kind of started feeling depressed a little and pulled myself away from any of my supports for this surgery and I just want to make it more of a priority to be more involved in the things that help me stay on track and help me stay positive. Thanks everyone! *Jess*

Im 6 weeks post op and down 40 pounds exactly! I lost some before surgery as well. So I am down a total of 63 pounds! it feels great. None of my clothes fit me though lol. I had a lot of struggles in the beginning few weeks but im starting to feel a lot better now. thanks for everyones support. *Jess*

On Tuesday I will be two weeks post op and I am getting really sick of liquids...what have other people been able to tolerate at two weeks post op? *Jess*

Thanks everyone for the input. I just feel like I am getting sick no matter what I try. Even off from yogurt. I took one tiny bit of a french fry today....bad idea....I threw up. Uhh I am so sick of being sick. If it isn't acid reflux its nausea ...if it isn't the nausea its diarrhea (sry tht was probably way to much info) lol ....but im starting to feel really weak bc I can't get in hardly anything. Im kind of starting to hate this. I just wanna feel normal. My incisions still hurt and I have absolutely no energy. Someone plzzz tell me when does this feeling start to go away? If ever? Im suppose to go back to work next week and I just feel so tired all the time idk how I am going to manage. *Jess*

Minigoddess- congrats! Good job! Thanks for sharing about the baratrics choice stuff. Ill give that a try *Jess*

Just got weighed in today and im down a total of 15 pounds in one week and my actual total overall is 38 pounds!! today was the first day I could finish a whole chobani yogurt! getting better and better everyday! *Jess*

All I have been doing is throwing up and dry heaving. Im always in constant pain and the liquid medicine I have to take is absolutely horrible tasting which makes me puke more. I cannot even sip on Water bc it makes me dry heave. Plzz someone tell me this is normal and it gets better!? Im about to break down crying *Jess*

Thanks!! *Jess*

thanks everyone for the advice and comments. I just wanted to give u all an update and let u know that the dry heaving and throwing up has completely stopped. I am keeping down liquids now...not very much at one time but its staying down. It almost feels like as the liquid goes down it pushes the gas up and causes a lot of pain. My incisions don't really hurt at all except the lower right hand one which I believe is the largest one...its got the biggest band aid on it. Im staying with my parents tonight bc my husband works nights and they have been so helpful, they got a room all setup for me and everything. I am very blessed that I have such an amazing family. I was very emotional today and kind of had a breakdown. Today is my 23rd birthday and I had no visitor at the hospital bc everyone works and goes to school which I understand so I was so ready to come home and the minute I got to see my little girl (4 yr old) it made all the bad things go away. She kissed my tummy and asked me if I wanted to hold her hand to get out to the car. It was soo cute. So even though I don't feel the greatest ...this really is a birthday to remember...bc I will look back 100 pounds later and realize that I did this all so I could live a longer healthier life for my daughter, family, more kids to come hopefully and most of all myself. Thanks for all the support! *Jess*

I am soo excited but also soo nervous! I can't believe its finally here! :) *Jess*
