I just did last night. My surgery was 4-22. I had a few captain morgan with my peach iced tea. I got a little buzzed but not sick so it was ok. I dont know if I would at 5 weeks cuz I think the stomach needs to heal more. I wont again for awhile if ever cuz I found I really dont miss it.

Nope not yet. My surgeon advised 6-8 months before trying. I was trying to stick to that. My anniversary is this weekend and I thought about it but I am rather scared to try it.

When I was 1st post op I wasn't hungry and would even forget to eat. Now it's not so much I feel hungry but feel a weird almost hollow feeling. I really don't want anything tho. Nothing really at all seems to sound good or appealing to me. Wondered if it was just me. I eat..but it's only cause its more or less what I have to do. I don't want to slow my metabolism down by not eating but no matter the diff things I keep trying to feed my body I just don't care for anything. Am I the only one? Eating has no pleasure anymore..suppose that's good but it sucks I don't like anything.

I totally get this. Someone at work today was talking about all the food he had waiting a home when he gets off... Cause he girlfriend was cooking and I was like, "if I had an appetite that might actually sound good!" But I don't. There are times when I am "hungry" but I think that is more in my head cause I haven't eaten in a while.

I am the same way! I will think im craving something but when I start to eat I really could care less. I make myself eat three meals as well because I have to. I find it such a strange thing because before surgery I would think about what I was gonna eat for Breakfast the night before. Now I could care less! I just eat what I need to for the Protein count.

I stalled again. This is so very discouraging! I went from 210 to 214, how is it that losing 60 pounds hardly feels like anything, but gaining 4 pounds makes me feel like a heifer! ugh! Can't wait for this stall to be over, it has been over a week now.

Has anyone else in the April Group noticed their weight loss slow to maybe a pound or two per week within the last month?

I tried some more clothes on from my stash today. My pants are all too loose in the butt and legs but tight in the waist! Frustrating cuz I have alot of size 20s that I could wear if waist wasnt tight! I can button them but would be uncomfortable all day. Gotta do some sit ups or something. ;)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
