I had surgery on August 13th, and the fourth day out was the worst. I felt great on the third day and went for a long car ride with my mom. This wasn't a good thing and I paid for it the next day. I had gas pain for the first couple days and then not again until last night. I think that I drank my Decaf tea too fast. Started on Protein Shakes just today (docs orders) and I hope to be getting more strength back. I have been walking for about 1.5 - 2 hours everday. It really helped with my gas pain. Good luck, the first week will hopefully go as fast for you as it did for me.

Started my liquid diet today. My surgery is August 13th!! I have tried my Protein Shakes now 3 times (all different days), and every time I feel very nauseated. I talked to the nutritionist today and she suggested I try soy or eggwhite Protein. Going to try that out tonight. I don't know if I could deal with that feeling all the time. Ugh! First real disappointment in this whole process. But a major disappointment. Has anyone else had that type of reaction to protein shakes?
why would sweet spot matter?

You are doing great. I was banded 08/13/09 and I have lost 66 lbs between pre and post surgery. I too went for about 3 weeks with no loss and was so frustrated, but then in about 5 days time, I lost 12 pounds. It is crazy how it works, and it has now happened twice since then. I am thinking that I am going to do that pretty consistently. During the first 3 week period of no loss, I dropped a pant size though. So, definately start taking measurements. Maybe you are building muscle, which weighs more than fat, and it helps you burn fat faster, so it is a good thing.
