Had Surgery 4/19 And Everything Is Great So Far!

[randalljohn 22]

i almost hate to post this because I see so many posts from people who are stalled or disappointed that the weight is not coming off as soon as expected. I know for those people that it will eventually happen, because you can't eat as little as we are eating and the weight not come off eventually.

So far, I have lost 19 pounds since I weighed two weeks before my surgery. I didn't have an extended pre-surgery diet--- just one day juice diet prior, but I had lost a few pounds before the surgery date. I have had no nausea, have not thrown up once and had no real issues to speak of. The worst part of this was the barium swallow test at the hospital

I know that everyone says not to weigh yourself every day, but so far, every day shows a drop.... so until that stops, I'm going to keep checking.

I was so afraid that this wasn't going to work for me, but I am thrilled so far and sticking to the diet has not been a problem, though I have had to stop watching "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives" -- and the Big Mac commercials have never looked so delicious as they have the past few days.

I am liking the EAS Protein Drinks and the Designer whey Protein To Go Drink Mixes ( the orange and lemonade favors). These are really good and have 10 grams of protein each-- just mix with a bottle of Water. I do find them a little bland so I mix a little Crystal Lite with them to give more flavor.

I hope everyone will have the same success that I am initially having.... and that you'll all be there to encourage me when it stalls!

Way to go. I too have been very lucky!! However, my stall has happened and getting on the scale every day isn't as fun as it was when I first got home. LOL. I plan to keep doing what I am doing and I know it will come off. Keep the positive happy attitude. Can't wait to hear about your progression.

I had mine on 4-12. It hasn't even been two weeks yet. I remember in the hospital not even being able to suck on ice as it would make me want to throw up. My how time has made things better. LOL
