I'm the same way now...I still can't eat too much at 1 sitting...but there isn't much I can't have anymore...and I seem to be eating more often

Does anyone in this group find that they're more hungry again? I feel that I am snacking too much and falling into the same trap...

I haven't been on in a while...but have been reading your posts...have to say that reading everyone's posts since having surgery in February has been a life saver...knowing we have all been going through the same issues and the same up an downs! The day of my surgery I weighed 234 pounds...today I weigh 158! (76 pounds lost that I hope to never find!))

You look awesome!!

I had my surgery on February 4th (RNY) (4 months ago too)...I'm only down 48 pounds.... I stopped drinking protein shakes 3-4 weeks after surgery...2 reasons why-> they left a very bad taste in my mouth which in turn made me feel nauseous....and 2nd...the soy that is in most of these protein drinks have prevented me from losing weight in the past! I have hypothyroidism and learned over the years that extra added soy in my diet wasn't good at all for me....actually ended up gaining weight...years ago I learned this when I went on Jenny Craig weight loss program....my brief weight loss stopped...I started gaining weight again...felt sluggish...and found out my thyroid problem got worse! Knowing all of this...and feeling sick after drinking protein drinks...I stopped 3 weeks after surgery...my Bariatric clinic actually wants you to stop drinking the shakes after 8 weeks. So my question to you is...what kind of shakes are you drinking?... Are you having a bad reaction to all the soy that is in your diet (it's in our Bariatric vitamins, shakes etc!). Take a look at the ingredients...do you have an under active thyroid now? I hope this is helpful!

Omg!! Awesome!!

I had surgery Feb 4th....starting weight 234...day of surgery 225....as of today I'm 187. I'm at a stall and have only been losing 1 pound a week.

Same here! I had surgery the same day...and only lost 37 pounds...gained 2 pounds then lost those 2 pounds...been on a stall for 2 weeks now.

Love the pictures! How much do you weigh right now...you do not look 241 in that last photo in the right of the multi pic photo. Also... How tall are you? I'm 2 months post op gastric bypass.

Same as me! I'm always cold now! Before surgery I was always hot. Now I'm all bundled up...even wear socks to bed! HW-234 SW-225 CW-210

Hi! My name is Elaine and I had surgery GB on February 4th and feel like my story and progress are the same as yours, princessErin! One question...when you have the chicken noodle soup..are you able to eat the noodles?

@ patticake-> how far post op are you?

I totally understand because I've been feeling/doing the same...except I'm almost 4 weeks post op.

I'm also 1 month out but only 20 pounds down. My weight seems to be coming off very slowly compared to others

Hi! I also am going through some rough spots (had the gastric bypass 10 days ago)...crying a lot wondering why I did this to myself...crying when smelling the food my family is making...but also experiencing some other issues that I wonder if you guys went through....might have pulled an inner stitch while coughing and now have to rest like I did right after surgery ....and now I am extremely itchy everywhere (think I'm allergic to the urisudiol that they put me on twice a day because I still have my gallbladder)!

Hi! A sure way sign to find out if you have a hernia is to place your hand over that site on your belly...cough real hard...if you feel like your hand was just punched at...then yes you do have a hernia!

Hi! I just had surgery for gastric bypass last Tuesday....I already had a triple hernia repair 2 years ago and a sure way sign to find out if it's a hernia is to place your hand over that area on your belly and cough real hard...if you feel like something just punched your hand...then yes you do have a hernia!

That's awesome!

I just had gastric bypass surgery last Tuesday...also have hashimotos hypothyroidism...also worried that I won't lose as much either... I'm 5feet 1 inch tall and weighed 225 last Tuesday....scale today said 222. What was your weight and how tall are you...and how much do you weigh now? Sorry to be nosy

I had surgery last Tuesday (gastric bypass) and the liquid colace, Zantac and roxicet taste so bad I want to puke! I've watered them down and everything...but am at my wits end! I have to take the colace and Zantac twice a day and the pain med every 4 hours when needed....but I swear I'm thinking of never taking them again.,..but of course I do because I have to. Any tips?

. Started the 2 week diet Tuesday... But I definitely binged the weekend before!

I've been there! Last weekend!

I'm having surgery February 4, 2014! Feel like the pics you posted are of me! I'm on my 2 week diet right now
