So tomorrow is 6 weeks. I'm down 29.8 lbs and almost two pants sizes. I lost my back roll and my double chin. I've gained a jaw line and being able to breathe and tie my shoes at the same time.

I can squeeze into an 18 - started as a 22/24. I'm fitting in pants that haven't fit in 2-3 years. :)

Well today made my 5th week out and my experienced today' date=' everything I ate or drank felt like it was stuck and a few minutes later I would spit up thick white mucus, therefore I phoned my surgeon office around 7pm and I received a return call, instructing me to go to the hospital's outpatient unit where I will receive lots of fluids, toradol for pain, and blood work, my nurse said I was experiencing stomach spasms, he said I will receive treatment for 3 to 4 hours for 4 days, until my stomach relaxes and after that I should be fine, God is my help...[/quote']

Hello everyone, I hope everyone is all good...Well, to give you an update, there was nothing really wrong, my pouch for some reason got mad with me and decided to have spasms, it only happened that one day, so to be on the safe side, I was instructed to start all clear liquid again (Damn, I was about to start on solid foods), I have an IV in my arm because I'm receiving daily treatment in outpatient for four days, to assist my pouch to relax for when I move on to regular foods.

I can't seem to eat any kind of meat. Nothing settled well in my pouch. This may just drive me to be a vegitarian. It all looks so good!

I have a fitness brag! This morning I went for a walk and was bound and determined to walk up the hill. I made it a mile all uphill! my total walk was 2.63 miles! I'm so stoked! it was very warm and when I got home i was so sweaty but i also felt majorly accomplished! :D

Great job! You should be proud!

I'm nearly 3 weeks out & I have stalled. The scale actually said I gained back 2 lbs. How the Hell do you gain on this??? I don't feel bad hearing I'm not alone.

Monday I was up 1/2 lb. Went back down, but very frustrating. I have not had one day where I have eaten over 450 calories and I am working out nearly every day. My net calories are often under 100 calories. However, I think that Aunt Flow is preparing for a visit, I am blaming it on that - at least for now!

I am five weeks post opp, and I went to Dr today for my follow up. Since 6-11-13 I have lost 32.2 lbs since then. But I must admit I was a little sad because I only lost 9 pounds since my last appointment which was three weeks ago. I know 9 lbs is good but I wish it was more. It made me more determined to work harder.

      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?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
