@ Telia. Great job ! What was your start weight?

CJ, happy for you! Still waiting for my break through .... It's been 4 weeks and I have lost a single lb. lost 20 within the first two weeks and then, nothing. Also gaining and loosing 2lbs whenever I get on the scale.

What was your start weight? Mine was 255 and I am down only 20lb. Surgery date 25 August

Wow! 50lbs is really good.

My blood pressure is much better since surgery, though it really wasn't bad to begin with. It's my tastebuds perhaps that are out of whack

Pre-op, I cooked without salt, because that's how I was raised in that my mom is super health conscious. But since surgery, I require salt. Returned to work a week ago; I live and work on the same campus. Decided I need to buy salt but was too tired after my walk to go get it so I stole that of my neighbor . She returned from leave today and I confessed. She smiled and looked at me strangely . She doesn't know I had the surgery and I have always given her grief about her salt intake.

Gabbisha, what is your NUT saying. I have a phone appointment with mine this Wednesday. Are you eating well? Let's compare notes. What's your start weight, age etc.

@@lealor, what was your start weight? @ lealor, what was your start weight?

Thank you. I am 5"5 Start weight 255lbs 35 years old/ female I am currently eating eggs, vegetarian protein sausages, soups; home made chicken soups with chicken and vegetables, diluted juices; Apple juices and pineapple . I can't swallow chicken, as it feels bad going down but I chew it and swallow the juices and spit the rest out. ( excuse the grim details) Happy for any suggestions. Thanks. Exercise, I am walking only at the moment.

I am stuck at 20lb since week two and haven't move a pound since!! Help!!

@, how much weight have you lost? My starting was 255. I have lost 20lbs.

72lbs? What was your start weight? Mercy me!? So my 20lbs since 26 August is nothing!

So very sorry to hear. You are in my prayers

Nice. Boy oh boy. I really need to be very careful. Had a little mishap and took the morning after pills. I bled from the pills and am just praying I am not pregnant. No can do at the moment with work and living conditions. So happy fo those who are and wanted to be. Can't wait till my time is right!

Wish I could give you a hug and say keep hope alive! I am 5 weeks out and everyday is a little better than the day before. I believe it will also get better for you. I am praying for you

Bring your nausea medication along!!

After all you have been through with recovering from surgery, all the pain, sacrifice , adjustments, nausea??!!! Come on ! Pull yourself up! We are all in this together but you must do your part!!!

My dear, I feel your pain. I have felt your pain. Thank God for this forum. I don't know what I would have done without the support. Hang in there, ride the waves, it really does get better. Prayers are with you for your strength.

Easy Andrew, indeed! I never drank and became overweight. Still don't drink. And also to the other not everyone who is overweight is addicted to food! Why do we generalize and why do we use the words addiction and alcoholic so loosely?? My oh my.

Thanks, indeed.

Whenever I hear someone say they feel hungry days after surgery I am inclined to feel that they are feeling something yes but , this thing that is felt I'd bring mistaken for hunger. Feeling tired, fatigued, sick, exhausted, regretful, acidity on the stomach, pain , nausea , ok , these I understand but hungry ????!!! Can't imagine it. I am sorry you are experiencing this feeling but, try to reevaluat to determine the source .

Who needs sex anyway ???? Way overrated!

@magical woman. I understand your position, where you are coming from and what you wanted to convey by or through your post.

Isn't a bit of honey the best sweetener or a bit of brown sugar? I have read that these sweeteners are worst than granulated sugar.

Congrats
