They do. I forgot to remove my undergarment, ahem and when I woke up, they were in a neat plastic bag next to my bed. Don't dwell on it. It is what it is. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I had my surgery on 10/17. Lost 9kg the first two weeks and that was that. Stalled up till now. I eat the recommended amounts, try to take in Water (1.5 litres) and Vitamins. Nothing is happening. I know people say not to be bothered, but I can't help it. Its 3 weeks in a stall. Fact is I'm eating less, so what's going on. Am becoming demotivated. Wht can I do?

I walked a bit. Starting up again tomorrow. Hopefully will improve. I did notice something yesterday. I drank half a litre more of Water and the scale moved a bit. So might be water retention which is also contributing. Onwards and downwards...scale-wise ???? Sent from my LG-D958 using the BariatricPal App

That is so funny. Sometimes I ask myself the same question. I had my surgery on 17 Oct and was pretty much into soft foods by the 2nd week. This was my 4th week and I'm having gem squash and ground meat. Small amounts of course. But alternate, my purees and soft food. I lost 10kg first 2.5 weeks and have stalled. I've mostly gone back to purees, but the weight is not shifting. I'll continue as normal and see what happens. Besides, I have a year to lose most of the weight, so won't rush myself. Just have to get my Water in. Sent from my LG-D958 using the BariatricPal App

Hello. I had my procedure on 17 Oct. The first few days in hospital were alright as I was being monitored. I went home on Thurs and the moment I got home, I wanted sugar. The craving was so bad I ended up having smooth Lindt chocolate. I kept that chocolate in my mouth until it was liquid and immediately felt better. Needless to say I finished the chocolate as much as my new stomach could stomach. I sat myself down and gave myself a good talking to and haven't done that again But after going through the forum, I'm learning how to stick to my eating plan. However, I'm very scared that I'm going to find this very difficult. Drinking the 2 litres as prescribed, is very difficult. I can a barely make 1.5 litres. I'm already tired of the liquid diet, but will do it as my health is on the line. I haven't lost my sugar cravings as some have done. That sucks. I dreaming of Burger King Whoppers and yet I never did before. What do I eat for Breakfast? I'm feeling a bit lost. I never had the nausea and vomiting episodes. Cast Iron stomach I guess. I am losing small amounts but will work hard. love exercise and can't wait when I can go to the gym and really work out. I bought a lot of baby food for my 2nd week. Have already tried them and adding a little salt, just a little, seems to help. So far meals are yoghurt, jelly (not jam) for now, broth, Evox whey Protein, and tea with sweetener. I need guidance on how to structure and plan my meals. Help Please. F Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Will try that. I was warned that this would happen especially the first few weeks and with time and persistence, will be okay. I think that first day I was overwhelmed and talking to some people has helped. My menu of today was green tea, some yoghurt, chicken broth and now some butternut broth with aside order of diluted juiced apple. I've also noticed that drinking warm to hot Water with lemon goes down better than cold water and I actually drink more of it. I think I'll be okay. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Especially the fruit baby food. My dietician suggested it. Sent from my LG-D958 using the BariatricPal App
