Topic: RE: Average weight loss for 2 months out
Had my surgery on April 14th. As of today 06/26/08 I've lost a total of 92 pounds. So a little over two months. So it is normal. I hope anyway. Great job to everyone

Im 2 months 12 days out of surgery. I can't have carbonated drinks, I can't have sugar, no bread, nothing fried (which i did eat 1 mozzerella stick). But other than that I am eating normal again. Not all the fast food and fried foods but just average food. I've dropped 92 pounds already.

I had surgery on april 8, 2008 and at 8 weeks I had lost 42lb. Its now 11 weeks out and I just hit 50lbs. I am not happy with that but I just need to push myself. I dont feel as if I am losing quick enough.

Topic: RE: I had surgery April ...
Actually I have found that everyones rules are different, post op and pre op. I was on a liquid diet when I came home from the hospital. I only stayed in the hospital one night and I didnt have any tubes. Alot of people stay longer and have some draining tubes. Also, I moved to soft foods by the 3rd week which consisted of chicken salad, ham salad, eggs etc. Then the 7 week, I am on what is a full diet. I am still not allowed to have sugar or carbonated drinks. I have heard so many different rules, I dont get it!!

Topic: Comparing to others and going nuts!!!
I had my surgery april 8 2008 and I cant help but compare myself to others. I was 297lb to start and as of yesterday at my 11 week weigh in, I have lost 50 lbs. Everyone tells me how great that is but I cant help comparing and still looking at myself as a failure. Does anyone else feel this way? Also, my hair is starting to really fall out. Do I just go and get some biotin? There is biotin in my vitamins but obviously it isnt working!!! Help!!!

Topic: I had surgery April ...
I had surgery April 28th. I was reading the main forum and someone post op 3 weeks listed all of these wonderful foods that he could eat. He was responding to a question re protein. I can't have dairy, and only 1 teaspoon of veggies per meal. I'm still on 1 oz. meals and will be until July 10th. Just interested to see if everyones guidelines on eating post op are alot different

Topic: RE: A weight stall at 2.5 weeks ?????
Gosh, everyone sounds just like me. I expect to loose weight everymorning when I weigh, and I know that's just not possible. I'm 3 1/2 wks post op and have lost 20 pounds, but I sure would like to see a quicker loss.

Topic: RE: Happy One Month for all April 28th Surgery People
WOW!! I'm also post op April 28 and have only 20 lbs. I had such a hard time losing weight ( actually almost impossible) pre surgery, I hope that doesn't affect my losing time now. I know I have to have patience, and I thank God everyday that I was able to have this surgery!!
