your surgery was same day as mine. I've only lost 43. Do you exercise?

Am having severe pain when I eat but it is there even with drinking! Anybody else? I am 5 weeks out and it just started yesterday.

Anybody tried eating popcorn at 4 weeks?

great job! You look awesome!

I thought I should probably do that Lainey. She would be experienced with people dealing with the same issues. I will have my follow up pretty soon.

I've been really depressed. It has been so difficult for me to adjust. I take an anti depressant and in wondering if it has stopped working. Anyone take pristiq and had problems after surgery? My doc upped my dose but I'm worried about overdosing on it now! She wants me to take 100 mg In morn and 100 mg at night. I'm afraid to do that!

I'm a little worried. I had surgery the 14th and I'm only down 23 lbs total pre op included! Is that normal? I expected more weight loss by now. Well, I just looked at the calendar and realized that it has only been two weeks so...maybe I'm trying to rush things! LOL

Well I use my scale at home as my "weight loss" judge. I know what I weighed at the start using my home scale and what I'm weighing now, so I go by it. I disregard the doc scale. Plus I usually weigh at home in the morning, naked ! LOL When I go to doc in afternoon I figure I weigh more naturally so that is another reason I use my home scale.

I'm in the same boat! Sleeved the 14th. I have lost 23lbs total but nothing for a few days. I'm trying not to weigh as often cause it does discourage us! It is nice to know someone else feels exactly like I do!

Looking awesome! Do you work out?

We compare ourselves too much! But I do it too! I think if you ate it fine with no problems then don't worry. I am only a week out and I can almost finish a whole one myself. (Over a period of time) if you are like me, then you are afraid that something isn't right with your sleeve and that you won't loose much weight. Oh we worry too much don't we?

I'm definitely doing better now! I have progressed to thicker foods; pudding consistency. I only can eat little bits though so I still rely heavily on protein shakes! I've been playing with flavors so that helps! Sick of chocolate! Can't believe I'm saying that!

Thank y'all!

Quick question, do any of you remember having really bad burning feeling on the inside like where the incisions are at one week post op? Every time I move it feels like a match is being held to my insides at the upper incision site.

Wow! This has been brutal! I wasn't prepared mentally for it! Surgery was fine and i got to come home the next morning so that was awesome! The incision pain is nothing but the gas is awful! I'm also worried about getting dehydrated. I'm trying to drink and have my shakes and soup but it is hard to get very much in! But I keep plugging away! My support is awesome! Starting with my husband who has been A++! Thankful for that!
