Hey guys! <br> How is everyone doing??? <br> I'm down 20lbs and have hit a stall <br> I'm hoping it will pass soon cause it's quite depressing! Started walking faster and longer trying to get some exercise. My<br> Biggest problem is head hunger- I feel "hungry" all the time. Even though I'm really not. I must have been more of an emotional eater than I thought!<br><br> Not giving up tho! Keeping going and staying strong. <br><br><br>

I know what u mean with head hunger . I get the same way . I just drink Water then to help it .

I am also with u on the wait stall so discouraging . I haven't lost anything this week .

Hi everyone! My name is Becky, I'm 33, from PA and had RNY surgery on the 13th. I'm doing pretty good with everything except the liquid diet. I've been on it for 3 weeks and the Protein Shakes and broth make me want to vomit. I can't take it anymore. I've tried a million different combinations of flavors and freezing them as popsicles, no luck. I just want to taste food. I'm allowed to eat yogurt and pudding but even those are starting to get to me. I'm hoping next Tuesday at my post-op appointment that I'm allowed to switch to the pureed stage. On the plus side, I'm down 14lbs since surgery! Woo hoo!! Glad you all are doing well and I'm excited for this journey and being able to connect with others going through the same thing

I was the same way . I talked to my nutritionist and I eat Greek yougart now. I can handle that . I have my follow up today hope I can have puree food .

So far since my surgery date march 3 I have lost 23 lbs . But this week nothing not even a pound . Hopefully I start loosing again .

Had my surgery march 3. Gastric bypass. I've lost 20lbs so far, which is great! But all of a sudden not only have I stalled but I've gained two pounds! I want to cry and scream. I'm barely eating! And when I do eat it's Beans, egg beaters, cottage cheese, etc- about 1/4 cup. And my unjury Protein shakes.

I am in the same boat had my surgery the same day . lost 23 now I been the same all week I was wondering the same thing what did I do wrong . We get through this and be just fine .

I stayed two night. But it was the dr choice if thought I was ready to go home or not. He had to make sure I was able to drink and keep it down .

Congrats to everyone have surgery tomorrow. I am now 10 days post op today. And feel great. There is quite a few of you having surgery tomorrow. Tomorrow will start the first day of the rest of your life .

Day to was rough for me as well. Was unable to keep anything down . It gets better I am now12 days post op . I can keep Water and everything down . I am still on liquids . I can't wait to see my dr in wed and move to soft foods I want to taste food again .

You are gonna do great . And soon you be starting a new life , new you .

Hi heather . Welcome to the group , day by day it gets better and easier , a few ups and downs .

I know glad it's not an infection .

Ya I went the dr said it looks good the redness is from an allergic reaction to dermbond glue . I can put hydrocortisone cream .

Now my only wish is to eat some food . They still have me on the liquid only diet .

My dr didn't give me anything like that either . I only has to the the liquid diet .

Glad to here you are doing a little bit better. I am going to see the dr this afternoon think I might have and infected incision it red swollen and itching like crazy . And sticky to the touch. .

How is everyone feeling today ?

Welcome . I wish you all the best n your up coming surgery .

I have to try those never thought of making a Popsicle out of it. It he pain for me has not been to bad the day after surgery was hell. I see my dr on thurs hopefully I can move in on to soft food.

Hi Chelsea my name is christina . I had surgery in March 3.,2014 as well . I hope you are doing well. I am doing ok I have good moments and bad moments . I can barely drink the Protein Shakes . I think I am so tired is them .

Thanks it has been difficult this weak. I know it will get better .

For my two week pre surgery I had to drink 3 Protein Shakes a day . And between shakes I could have broth , or a low fat Greek yogurt between shakes

Today I am 8 days post op . I had my gastric bypass on March 3rd. 2014 . Starting weight was 291.5 I am now down to 274.5 . The second day out of surgery was the worst . I could hold anything down not even Water. Day by day I feel a little better and stronger . I looking forward to my new life .

The hardest thing so far in Thai journey is drinking the Protein Shakes . I had no trouble before but now it has been difficult .
