I'm so sorry!

Chin up dear... I also had surgery 2/26 and gain 2 lbs last week and lost them plus two more this week... Our body fluctuates, stress, muscle gain all can contribute. Stay positive you can do this .. Your a Mother!!!! Mom's can do anything! Lol keep your wheels on girl . We are here for you... Today is a new day!

I'm in ny with bcbs min was 4 months start to finish an they counted my previous diet attempts and weight with the doctor. Also depends on which procedure you choose. I chose gastric bypass so I don't have to loose weight before hand and my i was 41 so I couldn't really loose just maintain. It was the easiest surgery I ever had and would totally do it again. Down 47 lbs in two months. My skin is looking pretty good and I'm 50!! Lotion lotion lotion!

Funny I was just reading an article yesterday about hctz and bariatric surgery and it said that on only rare instances patients stayed on hctz after surgery.

Lovely!!!

I bought a new pair of work pant because the ones I was wearing I could take off without unbuttoning them. I wore my new pant today and my boss said they were too big and to get a belt! Oy! I thought they fit when I bought them YESTERDAY!!!!!!!

Hahaha.. Well I got a "yeah baby"!!!

To all my fabulous February surgery buddies... How many calories per day are you eating and how many gms of protein? Just curious to see if I'm inline... I definitely need to work on my water. I feel I'm not eating enough calories. I average between 550 and 750 per day and between 60-80 protein. Seeing my doc next week and should move to the life style diet.

Walked 5 miles

It not unusual to have difficulty sleeping after surgery. Many times the side effect of the anesthesia can cause insomnia or difficulty staying asleep... Not to mention the incisions. It will get better.... Sometimes it just takes time... Everyone reacts differently.

Thank you Vicki!!!!! I received my wonderful package today when I got home. It had so many thing that I've never tried but heard about. Thank you so very much Vicki.... I'm so excited to try all these wonderful new foods! Oh and those homemade wash clothes are adorable...

Welcome to the group!

Bought a new dress and when I modeled it for my husband he said, "Wow!, do you have spanx on?" He lifted my dress up and I didn't!!!!!!!

Hmmm not sure.. I just started melon and it tasted very good and I felt like I could just keep eating it by stopped. Maybe make notes when you start to feel hungry after eating fruit.

Normal... I was no loss for 10 days then 6 in 3 days. It happens to us all ... Try not to stress... We are right there with ya!

I have to do 1 week liquid 4 weeks purée 4 weeks soft 3 month life style diet 6 month to forever lifestyle diet

You need to get you protien in.. Are you drinking you shakes and water. Try some broth with some unflavored protein. Make sure the broth is 140 degrees F or less or the protein will get weird. You need to keep hydrated and check with your doctor. It will get better ????

So... I have to go to a wedding reception tonight and I'm still on soft foods. My dilemma is that nobody at the wedding reception knows I had the surgery except my husband and step-children. All the people there are my husbands ex-wife's family.. I know sounds strange. Haha... I just don't want anyone asking me why I'm not eating and drinking so I'm thinking of putting food on my plate and just moving it around.. Suggestions????
