One week after surgery....
I'm feeling great and down almost 15 pounds...it has been alot easier than I anticipated.
I wish I've lost more but then again I don't know what the average is. How did you feel after a week? I do have quite bit of itching but one of the nursing supervisors at a hospital where I work, saw them and said that's a sign of healing.
Did you still feel bloated? you know, kind of a pregnant feeling lol

Down 27 pounds and I agree... the hunger is not "really" there.
I feel great... not as much energy as I had hoped but its not even 2 weeks yet.
Stitches are all scabbed over and look great. Dr. taking them out on Monday.
And, yes very frigin itchin! But that's a good sign.
No, don't feel bloated and sorry... never been pregnant so no comparison.
Be good.

I'm feeling great as well. I have been pretty lucky, even immediately after surgery I did not have a lot of gas. How are you doing with consuming protein. I have tried some Isopure, but I have got to say, I hate it. Are you consuming anything beside brother, jello, water or Popsicles?
Sometimes, when I really want to get "wild" I will mix up some malt powder in the above and it is like a malt. Plus the malt powder adds more protein.
Anyway, good luck on your journey and congratulations!
It is!!! My sister came over today and told me she can tell already.
This was the best decision I've made in my life and I know the BEST IS YET TO COME!
After my husband passed away, I gained the weight and I knew I needed to do something about it as I need to be here for my kids. I'm feeling great and am so Blessed to have my family's support. My sister Laura has been so good to me. I praise God for allowing this to happen!

Hi Liz,
You just answered all the question I'd ask you on another thread. Sisters are the best especially when they're like Laura. My sis wanted to join me to Mexico to give me support as well but wanted me to wait til June when she could take time off from work and I just couldnt wait that long so I rough it out solo.
I'm so sorry about your husband you are waay too young to be widowed......sorry.
I agree 100% in our best decision and cheers to us and all the sleevers.
And I also praise with you!!!!
