Well I am very happy to see that I am not the only one feeling this way, I thought to myself, oh great yet another failed attempt to lose weight.....because I too can eat real food very well chewed and not get sick, stuck, or anything for that matter.........not that I am proud do admit that........but I was very scared that this was going to failed attempt at weight loss.......I am 10 days post-op and except for my "holes" in the stomach, there is no indication that I had surgery at all...no gas pains, no uncomfortable feelings, nadda a damn thing (which is a wonderful thing).....I just cant understand why we really dont lose weight post op when we are restricting the amount of food we do eat..........any suggestions on that.......I mean if we were on weight watchers and counting points we would be losing weekly, and I am sure we are eating way below points that ww would alow, how come there is not a consistant weight loss??? just wondering...................
