I am 2.5 weeks post-op, and down a total of 34lbs (including 2 week pre-op liquids). I am just curious when your highest periods of loss occurred, and how long the rapid loss will keep up? I only have an additional 34 to lose to be at my personal goal, then another 15 to be at my Dr.'s goal for me. I would love the loss to keep up like it has been, but won't mind too terribly if it slows down soon either. I just would like to know what to expect!

That's the trick to air freshener when you go! You have to spray it into the toilet BEFORE you go! -

GOOD news is, yesterday I finally dropped down 6lbs, then 2 more today. So finally it's coming back off! -
So last Tuesday (1 week post op) I started my period. I had lost 12lbs in the first week and absolutely nothing since then. Anyone else experience this, or anything similar? It's rather depressing.

Talked to my nut today, and was told I can have up to 8oz of water per hour, but limit other liquids to 2-3oz. Doing my happy dance and sipping on a big mug of water! ????????

I have been very careful to measure my food out. I'm not too afraid of getting sick (I have very severe reflux and threw up almost daily pre-op because of it, so I'm used to that), but I'm terrified of stretching my pouch. No bread because it adds nothing nutritionally, plus it is soft and doughy, and can get stuck in there since there's no acid to break it down! -

Are you sure it's not a 2 oz per hour minimum and not an upper limit? This is from my booklet.

I have had oatmeal, tuna, eggs, chicken salad, green beans, mashed potatoes, string cheese, cottage cheese, shredded cheese, and whole wheat crackers, brown rice, and sautéed mushrooms. Oh and some oatmeal and PB2 balls ???? My soft foods allows for a lot more than most, and I have been enjoying adding new things. -

I just ordered some online after struggling the last few weeks to choke down vitamins. I will let you know how it goes, but I am very excited about it! Oh, and patchmd.com has 40% off right now with coupon code holidays2015 ????????

I am a bread junkie! And was seriously dying, even just during the 2 week liquid diet pre-op. My liquids allowed for oatmeal though, and I found an amazing oatmeal waffle recipe online (just oats, skim milk, and water), and mad myself some to get through. Now I am on soft foods, and do the same, though I usually only have about 1/2 of one triangle.

My surgery was the 14th too, and I'm having the same struggle. Just took a laxative last night, and it has helped soooo much. I can't stand the shakes either. I have been looking into Isopure unflavored powder (it's my understanding it can be added to even just water with crystal light), or the New Whey protein shots. -
@"bugsy72" I don't get it either. My whole nutrition book makes little sense to me. I'm very confused by it! Apparently everyone else is able to pretty much drink as much as they want, so I'm not sure why it says not to!

My tree, and my two year old who needs to be in very photo. I'm really not wanting to take it down? I love Christmas decorating!!

Any extensions using adhesive are going to be especially bad for already thinning hair. I strongly recommend micro-beaded, as the thin stands of hair hardly put any extra tension on the hair, and are less likely to show through thinning hair. If the cost is too high, the clips ins are a great alternative, and you can take them in to a salon to have them cut or even colored to blend in with your hair perfectly!
