27 since surgery? That's great! I'm still at 29 since I started my pre op diet. Tried to advance to purée, but could only eat a couple teaspoons then I was full for hours and it was hard to get calories in. I'm going back to liquids and adding in yogurt and laughing cow cheeses. They are so good. I never knew. It's good to hear from you!

I sent u a message or two not too long ago..(sunshynie)

29 !! That amazing! Can you notice a difference in your clothes? My bras are too big. Haha

Figures that's the first to go !!

It's kinda good that you are still on liquids/purée makes it easier to chose healthy options.

I'm able to eat pretty much everything already ! And a couple choices were bad ones. Lol. The good thing is it can only be a bite or two !

I'm super stuffed after about 2oz of food. Feels like I ate a thanksgiving dinner.

Are you having any side effects like me ? Can't sleep very much ... And shivering cold for most of the day? I used to sweat just doing simple things and always wore short sleeves... I'm wearing layers now lol

I'm down 32 as of this morning. So, 16 since surgery. But I went from a tight 22 to a loose 20. Some of my 18s fit too. I feel like its slow, but all I can do is keep movin on.

I am cold a lot. I was wearing my firry hat and scarf inside at work between patients! One of the docs I work with said WLS can have some affect on the thyroid, so I should have that checked out.

Some days I can't get to sleep at all, and others I sleep a full 8 hours. I only see the scale move so far when I sleep 8 hours. Wish I could sleep 8 every night, but I average 4 or 5.

[Leelee93 12]

Are you getting your thyroid checked out ? That's so weird .. We have same effects.

I can't sleep much either. 4-5 hours a nite. Not tired at all in the morning. I have caught up on TV shows I've missed !!

I wore about 5 layers last week to pick up my son from school. I think I hate being cold more than I hated being sweaty...

I'm so sick of Protein Shakes I've skipped them the last 3 days. Hopefully back on track this week. xo

It's on my to do list. I guess I am over my first stall. Glad it's over! I go back and forth being way cold and feeling normal. I think it's better than sweaty. I started at the gym last week. I like the elliptical, but I noticed my drain incision really hurts after that.

I think my incisions would heal better with steri strips, but any adhesive makes me blister. I thought in the hospital, maybe the tape had latex, but now I am thinking not. Cause even the non latex strips are making me blister. Yuck!

How much are you down since surgery?

[keri2142 6]

How is everyone doing? Right now Ian having a HUGE problem with Constipation has anyone had this? We have tried everything!!!

[soocalchic 1,087]

Miralax works try it..

[Leelee93 12]

Are your incisions still not fully healed? Is it because you had problem with allergy from the start ? Mine are fully healed ... Barely can tell they r there at all.

Your loss is fantastic so far !! I'm at 30 lbs today. I think mine is slower cause I can eat anything without an issue. Small amounts of anything ...

I've even had bread ! I have an Iron stomach though. Haha

Keri... I had same problem. My doctor told me to take lactulose. It's sold behind the pharmacy counter. Works amazing and doesn't bother your stomach. Not a stimulant.

[sunshyneqtie 73]

Two o the four are not healed. But I think they would have been if I could have used the steri strips.

[sunshyneqtie 73]

Are you 30 since surgery, or 30 since you started pre op diet?

[Leelee93 12]

30 lbs since day before surgery. I weighed myself and took a photo just before I left for airport !!
