Hi Trish! Thanks for posting a reply to my "slow weight loss" question, and NO...you don't sound mean at all! You sound completely supportive and it helps me to know I am not alone out there in the slow loss boat! I am down 19 lbs. now since 4/24, you? I ate a lot of crap tonight and drank champagne, and now I am suffering from guilt and self loathing...back on the wagon tomorrow for sure! Keep me posted as to your loss, feel free to email me anytime, too. I wish you all the best and continued success-wheather fast OR slow!

Trish, I am SOOOO sorry to hear of the tough time you're having so far! Please, don't give up! There's a reason for everything! Are you generally following your surgeons orders on what to eat right about now, etc? Maybe try to add some more protein & less carbs (I know, like the Atkins thing!) & just make sure to chew well! Maybe some more weight will drop off then. I'm still pre-op, don't forget, so this is my advice only! Also, talk to the surgeon about it if this keeps up! I'm sure you'll have a really big drop in weight soon! Please keep your chin & your spirits up, ok??? Keep me updated! I'm only a phone call away too! (((HUGS))) Jamie

Hi Trish, I am 1 1/2 weeks out today myself. This is what I have figured out for the "fullness thing" for myself. Before this surgery, I was never full. I was usually always "stuffed" because I ate, then ate again and continued off and on throughout the day which would end up with me saying,"I'm stuffed". I don't think I ever knew what it felt like to be "full". Even now. I don't know what "full is". I get to where I feel "satisfied". I am taking one day at a time and find I will not deny myself anything (within time) EXCEPT I will follow my doctors orders as to when and portion. I even had a 1/4 size serving of grilled cheese sandwich today and I never knew there were so many ways to cut that little sucker up, ha ha. Remember this is a tool, a wonderful tool and I am not going to mess it up. Afterall, what is there to replace it? Take care and your doing fine.
