I am 6 weeks out and doing great. I have lost 35 pounds.....I have a question..has anyone tried Diet soda and been ok? Diet Dr. Pepper especially!

no soda of any kind for me....not worth stretching out my pouch...that would defeat the purpose of weight loss surgery...I'll stick to my water..thanks for all the feed back

ok, I didn't realize that it stretched the pouch...I thought it just made you unconfortable....soda, I can live without!!

I excercise to the 2 mile every day...it is awesome! I bought it a couple of years ago and used it for awhile but then, like you said, away to collect dust it went!! I love it now! I need to get the 3 mile next!

the first 2 weeks after surgery were fine...I lost 23 lbs......now I am in my 3rd week and I am hungry all the time and have gained 2 lbs back....the ounce of food 3 times a day and protein drinks and water don't get me full. I have that rumbling in my tummy saying feed me.....and it is not in my head....although I do get a headache if I don't eat something.....I don't understand why, I thought that hungry feeling would go away atleast for a little while....even after I eat I feel hungry...I am worried that something else is wrong.....could I have a leak or something worse?? What am I doing wrong? I shouldn't feel like I am hungry especially right after I eat....

Has anyone stopped crushing their pills and started taking them whole before the 8 weeks is up?

What about prescription meds? I mix crush mine and mix with applesauce which helps tremendously but I hate doing it because it is still horrible!

I'm doing better but yes, I am hungry....I am able to eat 1.5 oz of protein and fruits and veggies now so I had a slice of pinapple this morning and one this afternoon and that helped allot. I have lost more weight, a total of 27 lbs as of Monday. I think I was sick with a cold before and that is why I thought I felt hungry when really it was a stomach virus....I am better now except I have always got migraines and I seem to have to take a migraine pill every day (normally around 4 or 5:00 in the afternoon) and I think that is from being tired and hungry....yes, this diet is very hard, but we can do it! I had my surgery on 4/18 so I am 4 weeks out today. When was your surgery and how are you doing?
