I'm exactly one week out and I've lost NO weight! I've got to get this weighing obsession under control. I know I'm still swollen and bloated but....

Is anyone finding it hard to eat and drink slowly? I'm using baby spoons and I think it makes me eat faster since its such a small amount. I forget my stomach is small!!

Habits are gonna be hard to change!!

I had my surgery Dec. 18 and the weight started to come off about a week later. I think the Fluid from the IV had to go away first. Since that time, I've lost 46 pounds.

I still find myself eating too fast. I laughed when I read that you use baby spoons because I just bought a set of them yesterday! I hope they help.

Good luck to you!

Patience...patience. I'm 18 days post op.....have lost a bit though. We're all different. Stay off that scale! This is a permanent lifestyle change.....think of the weight loss (that will come I promise) as a nice side effect.....eat and drink small and slow. Put the scale in the closet for a while. I too have the same problem with eating/drinking to fast still....my new stomach lets me know quickly and painfully. There is a learning curve. My problem is i view eating as a chore now since i'm not hungry....and force it down too quick. To boot, I'm thirsty...which is a bad sign because once you feel thirsty you're already dehydrated a bit....so I want to drink too quick. Double edge sword. We'll both figure it out and adjust, early in the game now....so hang in there! Best of luck.

I started losing on day 7 (like crazy) that lasted about two weeks until stall....

Eating and drinking is hard that first bit. Now I can eat but struggle with drinking enough. Keep at it.
