I had surgery last Wed. Dec 13

I had lap band surgery on Dec. 13. (Wed) As of today I have lost 10 pounds on this clear liquid diet. I am not hungry, but I still have the desire to eat at times. My mom had McDonalds in front of me yesterday and I really wanted to grab some fries. I am having trouble getting all of my protein and liquids in. I am sleeping more than usual so it's hard to get on a schedule drinking enough fluids. I go back to work after Christmas and I dread wearing constricting clothing again. I have been living in sweats since surgery. Overall, it's good to be on the losing side but I wish I could eat regular food.

hi there !!! .. i had RYN 2 days before you and my doc cleared me to start the soft solid foods today. i feel you when you say you don't really feel hungry but having the desire to eat sometimes.. hung in there.. i've lost 11 pounds to date.. I think we're doing great.. I've been sleeping alot too, I think it's side effects of the pain meds i'm on, i'm taking them less frequently now.. Are you going back to work bfre the new year?

Congratulations on the weight loss. It sounds like what you're going through is completely normal. Another month and we should be able to eat a lot variety of foods. Good Luck!! Joanne
