Yeah I'm with you... wow. That's a long wait. My process from first consult to surgery was 6 months. I'm in LA, CA.

Looking forward to sushi! I'm a bit ways away but I'm patient!

So glad I am not alone! Lost 10 Within 1st week and now nothing! No movement what so ever! SD7/18

Same! Sleeved 7/18 dropped 10 by day 6 and now staying same. Good thing I did measurements. Cause lost inches here and there [emoji6]

I had surgery 7/18 too! I'm down 11, dropped by day 6 and now nothing

By day 3-4 I was taking gulps not sips.. I get it, I understand! I was always one to chug. I could drink whole bottles of water in one shot. Miss that.

Surgery 7/18 and in a long stall! Dropped 10 lbs by days 5-6 and now nothing. I get my protein and liquids in pretty good. Just got green light for mushies! Soooo happy for it.. doing my greatest to remain positive! Slow loss is better than no loss [emoji1365] Started 294 Surgery 282 Current 270 Can't wait to exercise hard! This whole process started for me because of sports injuries and lack of proper nutrition on my part. I use to skate, roller derby then grub on chili fries and Coke... exercising stopped but not the eating. After two broken ankles, blown out knees and a boyfriend who cooks very very well I ballooned 60 pounds and could not get down. I have always struggled with weight and I've managed to maintain good health and remain active but knees are so bad these days. Remaining as optimistic as my Ortho [emoji6]. Super excited for this journey! Enjoying the ride [emoji4]

Just had my post op, on to mushies! My weight loss has stalled though! I am not even sure how that's possible! But I am pleased and excited too! 2 more weeks for pool! Only change my Dr implemented was to stop BP meds, its super low and I'm soooo tired these days! We can!!

Same! Same! From throat irritation to the pain.. yes! We got stabbed 6 times.. this is what it feels like. I had a great nursing staff. They were at my bed side every 3:45 for med checks! Day 11 down 12lbs

Day 10 I had my first sugar free puffing today! Down 12lbs Surgery Date 7/18

That is soooo good! I'm telling you I was doing great until I had a hard sneeze a few days back.

I cannot wait to completely heal... I have seasonal allergies and when I sneeze I feel like I'm going to faint from the pain! Other than this.. I'm healing well! How many days in do we have to wait until healed?!!! I know it varies. Looking for an average.

Agree!

I'm feeling good! Getting my 3 protein shakes in, sometimes slower than others. Water intake is good. My abdomen is still sore, sneezing isn't helping that! I thought I was going to fall out when I sneezed. Can't wait for purées! How about you?!

If I could only stop sneezing and coughing!

My surgery date was 7/18 too!

As far as I hear... we're good. Swelling must be down. but i was advised to take it slow.. water is way more easier than protein to get down especially ice cold water!

Today I've been drinking not sipping?! Is this normal. The nurses told me to sip until I can't tolerate. Well. I have definitely met my quota today for liquids!! IS THIS NORMAL??! Did I already stretch my stomach out? At first I thought good I can drink and then I panicked. Any thoughts... appreciate all responses! Surgery was 7/18 down 10lbs

Thank you! I sure do appreciate your response!

Day 5 I'm drinking good... a little scary. I'm not sipping!!! My BT told me to sip sip, shorten time until I cannot tolerate and now I'm scared! I'm taking regular drinks!! I'm the complete opposite! Any ideas on my situation?! I'm so scared I stretched myself out! At first I said cool... then I said oh crap!
