Wow, you look amazing! However I must say that you were gorgeous before as well. Congratulations on your success. C.J. HW- 297 SW- 244 (5/13/13) CW- 215 GW- 135

Just checking to see if you're feeling better.

Glad to see all is well.

Congrats! Welcome and good luck.

Well I'm finally LOSING for the first time since coming to the loser's bench. I appreciate everyone's encouragement and support. I was starting to second guess my decision. Surgery Date: 5/13/13 HW: 297 SW: 230 AT DISCHARGE(5/14/13): 244 CW: 220 GW: 135

Anyone feeling weak? I have to stop to take breaks while getting ready cause i feel weak. Reading everyone's experiences have helped a lot. I'm still having cravings but its just when I see food commercials and having my mom here is no help because she's either cooking or bringing something back from some food place (so insensitive). I love her but I'm glad she's leaving tomorrow. Anyway, I'm doing better with the fluids but I can only take 2 oz of Protein shakes right now. So I guess I'll just concentrate on fluids.

Same here. I'm trying too but not getting in 64 oz

So happy for you! Everything will be great.

Greetings, I am in Fort Bragg Area. I just had my surgery last Monday at Womack by Dr. Perkins. Look forward to hearing from you.

I had my surgery on Monday, May 13th and I was discharged Tuesday evening about 15 lbs heavier than I was before the surgery. I was told it was mostly water weight but it still is not very motivating taking steps backwards. I am hungry ALL THE TIME!! I hear people say the surgery takes appetite away but I crave food more than I did before the surgery! Is anyone else experiencing this? Also, I am having trouble getting all my fluids in. I have tried sipping every 10-15 min but I get so full and the pains are awful. Maybe if I was losing weight rapidly like I see every one else losing but I'm not so I'm already starting to second guess my decision. Don't mean to sound like a negative Nelly but.......

Omg!! I thought the weight loss was fast. I am about 12lbs heavier since having the surgery on Monday! I know there is supposed to be some fluid retention but I'm freaking out. How soon do the pounds come off?
