It's been 3 weeks since surgery and I've only had a total loss of 15lbs. What's strange about it all is that I lose 1-2 lbs one day and the next I gain it back. I can't get past 220, any suggestions?

Glad to know I'm not alone. Hoping it all passes soon.

My Dr. didn't prescribe me any. Hmmm...I should definitely contact him to make sure I really don't need it. Thanks for the advice!

I'm 4 days post op and feeling hungry. Before I was discharged my Dr. advanced me to a full liquid diet because I was handling clear fluids well. I've had a light yogurt, cream of wheat, and a protein shake today and I still feel hungry. (Keeping up with my water intake as well) Has anybody else gone through this and how did you work past it?

Hey everyone! I'm officially sleeved and couldn't be happier! I'm about 2 hours post op and feel amazing Hopefully it stays this way from here on out. Hope all of those who had their surgery today are doing well and have a speedy recovery. God bless all

Thank you!

I'm getting sleeved tomorrow too! Good luck, hope you have a speedy recovery!

Has anybody tried this in replacement of either a chewable or other vitamin?

Hi! I'm scheduled for January 28th with Dr. Richard Nguyen in San Jose, CA. I'm so excited and nervous

Thank you for the suggestions and for sharing! Each day seems to get a little easier, especially now that I'm only 5 days away from my surgery

Same here! I'm so ready for this change, I've been telling myself that I refuse to spend another summer locked inside because I'm too embarrassed to take my boys out to the park. I hate being the only mom who struggles to keep up with her toddlers, it's ridiculous! Best of luck

Is it me or do people look at you crazy when you say you're addicted to food? I was trying to explain to my husband how I've been feeling and when I tried to explain my relationship with food he kind of looked at me like I've lost my mind. The samething happens when I try to talk to my sisters and friends. It's so frustrating! I just want to throw in the towel, grab the muffins off the counter and run away with them haha just kidding, but seriously, food addiction is real and I wish those around me would stop making me feel otherwise.

Thank you everyone for the support! I feel so much better, still anxious but I think that's stemming from the idea of the actual surgery and the pain. I know that my relationship with food is unhealthy and is the reason why I'm overweight, unhappy, and in this rut. I told my husband that I feel like I'm going through a break up lol (a much needed one) @@amyecpa I've been doing the same thing! One thing that helps is looking at all the pics I've taken in the past week, they help take the blinders off and make me see what's really going on with my body. We just need to stay strong and know that this is for the best especially when we feel at our worst. Idk about you but I find some comfort knowing that we have the same surgery date

One week from now (Jan 28th) is my surgery and I'm totally freaking out! I've been patiently waiting for almost a year for this and now that it's here I can't stop myself from second guessing everything. I've come to realize, with major help from this awful 2 week liver shrinking liquid diet, that my addiction to food is real and the thought of ending my relationship with its comfort is absolutely terrifying. I feel like I'm trying to convince some part of myself that I don't need the surgery and that I can do it without this tool. Has anyone gone through this, or am I just over thinking and analyzing this way too much?
