That's awesome...except I think I caught your stall, LOL! I've been stuck at 12 lbs for almost 5 days now. It is just two weeks today since the surgery, so overall I think the loss is ok, but I didn't want to stall so quickly.

I'm working on my third week post op. I lost 13 pounds the first two weeks and this week nothing. I'm worried I'm eatting too much. I'm keeping my calories at 900 but I'm still not losing the way I thought I would. I have had some days that I've fallen off the "eat heathy" plan but I track it all in fatsecret.com Since I have the band too I'm some what dissappointed that I'm not losing as fast as I thought I would. That is a lot of money to have this slow a progress. But again there are things that I can do to make this more of a success which is work out. I've been lazy on that account. I'll probably do better if I work out every day. I plan to work out tonight and every day after. Will keep every one updated. Wish me luck and success please.

My wife and I are having plication in less than a month. We are trying to hide this from everyone and take it to our graves. Will we be able to get away with it?

I only told my 3 closest friends. Everyone else including all of my family thinks I had hernia surgery. The recovery is similar as are the scars.

I am scheduled for surgery at the end of this month and it truly helps reading everybody's journey. I am super excited to have this new ”tool” to help in my weight loss journey, I used to think that people that had any kind of wls was taking the easy way out, but I have come to relize that is far from the case. I wish everyone all three best!!!!!

Tell them you are having hernia surgery. I tried to keep it to myself but slipped and told one person who told everyone. There is a lot of judgement, especially since I had it in Mexico!! Do what you need to do for yourselves. Good luck!

I am 6 days post op and have lost 7 pounds. I have low energy even though I am well hydrated. I have minimal burning and no naseua. I have diareaha today for some reason. I am drinking yogurt, eating broth, popsicles and drinking lots of gatorade. I have one Protein Shake a day. Working towards getting 2 down! I have no hunger pangs. I actually am enjoying the smell of other people's food and enjoy that almost as much as eating it!

I am looking forward to feeling like myself. Others tell me that is about day 8 or so. Good luck!

I had diareaha on the 6th day as well. I chalked it up to having only liquids for so many days along with so much medication. Also gatorade even on a full stomach can cause diareaha. That is great that you have already lost 7lbs. I gained 5 from surgery (which I guess is normal) and didn't start losing until the end of week 2.

I had to get a refill of the naseua medicine, about 3 days after my last does I was so nauseous I had to take a dramine and then called the doctor. This happened again a week later. I haven't had naseua in 3 days now.
