hi ErinG
I'm having a slow down on the weight lost too I think it is our bodies getting to loose to eating real food again and I found my self retaining water because I felt bloated for a couple of days like any diet we have our slow weeks of losing weight but it will start coming off. We didn't put the weight on in a week so it's going take time. Don't worry about numbers you are going to do great and when the warm weather ever gets here so you can do more out side. You can do it we are all here to support you don't give up we all have our up and downs with the weight lost if they didn't think it would work they won't have done the surgery on us. So don't get discourage be happy it 's only the beginning of this journey we have started to a healthier life and this road will throw some curves our way and we have some hills to climb but we will get to that finish line one day at a time it might take awhile but we will get their.

How are you feeling now? Have you gotten rid of the gas pains?
I'm a week in on my purée diet tomorrow I will be 3 weeks out from surgery, I've lost 23 lbs all together my first 2 weeks but I actually gains a couple pounds this week, I've been waking when I can but it's hard to get out with this crappy weather, has anyone else had a stall during there 3rd week or any gain I just feel so discouraged, and keep telling myself not to think this surgery was a waste I've waited so long 7years and really don't want this to be a waste, any suggestions or words or wisdom :)
sorry about the gas I had the same problem when I got home too. You have to walk around and the gas will pass it might take a few days but it will pass. hope you feel better soon the hard part is done now it's time to get on the healthy way of eating I started to eat puree today and my heart burn is not as bad as when I was just drinking liquids. Have a speedy recovery and I hope you feel better soon.
Walk as much as you can. That seems to really be the only way to get it out of your system. That was the only thing that worked for me. Some people say to try Gas X strips...they didn't work for me.
I have been away so I didn't get to wish you well for your surgery. Glad that things went well for you and congratulations on your surgery.
