Thanks, Teresa

Hi Teresa It sounds like your doing good. The no appetite is normal. Trust me, it will come back later on. If the hurting continues, ask your surgeon about it just to play it safe. I'm sure it's just that full feeling. I was the same way in the beginning. My only suggestion with the scale is to hide it and pick one day a week to weigh. That's exactly what I had to do. I keep it under the bed and I picked Mondays to be my weigh in day. Keep up the great work and enjoy all the energy! It's only gets better from here. Kay 450/388/209/175

Teresa, congratulations on your surgery. Sounds like what you are experiencing is normal. It does get better and after a while food becomes appealing again. I wish you much success!! XOXOXO, Sharyn Lap RNY 8-19-2004 265/140/140 Ain't life grand!!
