[Dawnolson 85]

I am home. Surgery went well. Am home trying to just get in Water and Protein. This is probably tmi. But I have finally started passing gas. And I am a happy girl. Husband not so much. Lol

That's funny!! My husband was like wow!! I'm still going thru stages of gas passing, last night it was like one after another!!! Lol I know TMI!!! But it was funny and felt wonderful!!

Yeah, I'm with you. My surgery was May 7th, and the first week I lost 11 pounds. Then I stalled for a week. I was down one more yesterday, but I was expecting the stall around week three. I hope that one doesn't happen now, too. It is discouraging. I wish I could just get a sneak peak at myself in one year so I could cheer up a bit.

I had mine on the 8th, lost 7 and am slowing down too. I haven't been walking regularly, and I think I might need som milk if magnesia. But I've been very faithfully drinking my liquids and Protein Shakes. My doc said the norm is 1/2 pound per day average loss. I am interested in what you find out too!

I was expecting the stall around week 3 as well. Sure hope I get out of this stall soon. I feel myself getting a tad depressed and questioning my decision to have this surgery since I'm following all the instructions and not losing anything.

Soon as I got home I was getting stuff picked up around he house, and that helped it work its way out. It was real, no-kidding-around pain up until then! I hope you start/continue feeling better soon!

I hear you. I felt pretty pathetic, too. It is going to get better real soon! I am about 16 days out and can't believe I was so weak such a short time ago. My stomach is still very sore, and I haven't quite gotten the rhythm of eating, snacking, sipping, etc. but I feel pretty normal otherwise. You've just had major surgery! Hang in there, and be kind to yourself.

I had my surgery May 8, 2013, and I am starting to feel a lot more human again. I started cream Soups and farina this week. The Soups are awesome, the farina - not so much. It made my stomach hurt after a couple of spoons full. So I will wait on that.

I hope my stomach swelling goes away soon! I've lost close to 20 lbs, but still have a hard time wearing anything sung around my waist.

I had my surgery may 14 and I lost about 10 lbs the first week but the last couple of days I haven't lost anything so maybe I'm at a stall as well. I am keeping the big picture in mind and all the weight I'm going to lose. Everyone will more than likely experience a stall so don't let it keep you down:)

surgery date: May 14
