My weight loss (as of today) is 131 pounds. My question for everyone is how much do you eat? I mean can you finish a hamburger (if you eat one)? Also, have you discovered there are times you are absolutely not hungry? Thanks

Give it time Karen. I stayed the same weight for a week or two then suddenly I'm done. It depends on how much water you drink, exercise, food intake and your body. I am pretty active so i get discouraged if i am not losing constantly, but then when i do check i am proud to see a weight loss...

Thanks Ralph! I am discovering there are a lot of foods that I cannot or do not like any more. While this new life is rewarding, it is also interesting. Oddly enough salads (very small moderation) seems to be fine with me. I mostly eat protein and veggies, and limited carbs. Thanks for all...

Thanks everyone! As of today, I am 5 months into this and down 100 pounds!!! I find that if i eat anything within my sugar range (10g or less) then only a couple to 3 bites and I'm done. Normally i would prefer bananas or pineapples or oranges (sometimes grapes)-- some of these i have to be...

Hello everyone. Just a little update on me. I am 3-1/2 months post op (almost 4) and am down 86 pounds. I am feeling good other than tired.

Hi Nisey how are you I AM DOING GOOD. I am down 86 pounds! I have been doing a lot of activities. Everything from cleaning house, to walking, exercising, chasing my dog (yes, i said chasing), and i just don't stop. I am glad to see you had your surgery. But dang... AFib! My dad has that. And...

First, off I hope everyone is doing well. I had my surgery on May 5, 2015 and I am coming up on my 3 month post-op date (Aug 5--my daughters birthday). Anyways, my good news is that I am officially 72 pounds lighter!!! I am hoping i can lose a few more pounds by my next appointment date (Aug...

Hello Everyone. My surgery was on May 5, 2015. To date I am down 52 pounds. However, I have been at the same weight for past 2-3 weeks. I am not eating much, drinking my water, avoiding caffeine, and watching my sugar intake (no more than 10g) as well as fat intake (no more than 5g)-- per...

Okay I need a lot of help here. I am 37 days post surgery and I am following my doctors diet plan BUT I cannot find anything i like to eat. I have tried fish, shrimp, cottage cheese, pudding, jello, baby food, mashed potatoes, protein shakes, and on and on. I have tried everything that I am...

Wow this is just crazy! I eat anything with any amount of thickness and I'm doomed. UGH I guess i have to give it time. Thank you Cheyenne for responding. I was worried something was wrong.

Hello everyone. I have a strange question, but whenever you drank (or ate) anything did it feel like it just sat in your esophagus like it can't go down all the way? I take baby sips and sometimes that is even to much. Well today, I tried eating some sugar free pudding (very little on...

I started my diet on April 27th and surgery was on May 5. Since my liquid diet on April 27 (and surgery) i have lost to date a total of 40 pounds. This is great since it has been only 28 days. I am following my diet; however, I am still on phase 3. This means I am still on liquid diet, can...

Welcome Ladybicknase!

thanks Cheyenne. Well i am 19 days post op and it is feeling better. I still have tenderness but i guess one day at a time and it will eventually be good.

Thank you Nisey. I do have a question for everyone though. I am just 2 weeks out, and my tummy still hurts. I think its from the massive hernia repair and not from he tummy itself. I state this because it hurts by my belly button (all around it), and directly straight up for like 3-4"...

Welcome to the forum Sarah. First off, congratulations on your weight loss. I, like you, had second thoughts on wether I made the right decision. To be honest, I am 2 weeks post op and still wonder, but what brings me back to reality is when I sit here thinking of how much pain I am in now and...

Thank you for the information. Just reading about the possibilities scares the hibby jibbies out of me. However, all i have been doing is walking. That has been real hard since I am still sore, but my daughter has been trying to get everything ready for summer college, moving into her...

Hi Nisey. Gosh girl you are more patient than me. I would have to call right away. I wouldn't wait. Being said, I know you will do great. Keep us in the loop and let us know if you hear anything. Take care and continue on doing a great job! ~Debbie

Hello everyone. I had my surgery on May 5 (2 weeks ago today) and since then I have lost 11 pounds. Is this good? However, since I have started my liquid diet (before surgery) which was on April 27 (my birthday of all things) I have lost a total of 36 pounds. This was done in 23 days...

I am glad i saw this post because my RNY Gastric Bypass was done on 5-5-15 and the very next day after me being released from the hospital (5/9) I am having such horrible heartburn. Drinking water feels like it makes it worse. I called my doc office and was advised to double my GERD medicine...
