A couple of questions

Ok my first question is there something wrong if I haven't had a bowel movement since before I had surgery Monday?

When do you start noticing that you have lost weight? ( I know that it is different for everyone )

I am still very sore but maybe that will decrease in the next few days.

Thanks for any help you can give me it is appreciated....

Congrats, On your surgery . ON your first question , I did'nt have a bowel movement for 7 days, I was so worried I called my dr. and they said that it was completely normal. Because your not eating just having liquids. And on the next question I also had surgery on a monday( May 4th) I came home on wednesday and I weighed myself on Friday I was down 12 lbs , but it was mostly fluid. Anyway I was so excited , Now I'm down 30 lbs total. And I belive Im in the dreaded 3 wk stall no weight lost this wk , I was so discouraged until I posted about it and they really helped alot In explaining it to me. So I just THANK THE GOOD LORD for what I've lost, But as they have said everyone is different. Anyway wishing you the best of luck on your journey.

Thanks so much thats a load off my mind!!!

Hang in thier Sonya, and...

BREATHE!!!!

I like your avatar, and I think it answers a lot of your qurestion...

May 18, The first day of the rest of my life!

Remember, this is not a race and you will get there eventually!  Take a breath and look at where you are.  Your'e stilla t the starting line!

Bowel movements will come, just hang on.  And the weight will start falling as well.  Your soreness will slowly leave you as you start doing more! 

Just remember to take a break and enjoy the Losers Bench every so often!

BREATHE!!!!!!!

lol, I will be glad when it don`t hurt so bad to breathe.  Thanks Scott.....

Sonya,  Hey there girl, I feel for you and am so very proud of you.
They wouldn't let me leave the hospital until I passed gas. So the Thursday before my release on Friday I was given a suppository and it help me pass gas and more, that night and even the next morning. I went regularly until the Sunday and I drank a little milk of magnesia (1 T) and had results on monday. Now I go at least every other day. But of course I started blended food on the 21st so I may have different results. Hang in there!

Thanks, I am today suffering the most. It bothered me today to see my husband eat good food and im on broth that I hate now. I cant wait to be on blended food...
