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.

This is me I completely. I eat because I have to but really don't enjoy anything.

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.

Well glad to know its not just me. I've told my husband this and he I'm sure doesn't quiet believe me.

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.

[CandiH 15]

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.
