Is anyone else having this problem? I can eat much more than the 1/4-1/2 cup that I am supposed to eat, I can actually eat a plateful of soft food. I went to a transition class today, and everyone else was tlaking about not being able to eat more than a 1/4-1/2 cup of food. I am able to drink 64 oz of fluid per day without issue? I weighed in and only lost 4lbs since 3/6- I had surgery on 2/26. I feel like I have ruined my entire surgery!

I am so glad I read this! I am at 3 weeks and stuck at 27lbs lost I've increased my walking to twice a day and drinking more fluids which I noticed has increased my appetite I had lap bad and I'm supposed to eat 3 meals a day and 2 protien shakes but by 11pm I'm hungry again, like really hungry and I have to eat a little something or I feel sick I'm also diabetic, could that be it?

I'm 2 weeks out and (according to my scale) I've down 22 lbs. KEWL! I had the first of what I hope are many WOW moments. It may seem like a small one but at this point ANY victory is still a victory!! I know I've lost weight, but the other day I was thinking I can't really feel it too much in my clothes or see it in the mirror. So my first WOW moment today came totally by surprise! This afternoon, I took my daughter to the orthodontist's office and they have a strict policy about cell phones in their office. But wouldn't you know it, while we were waiting, I got a VERRRRY important call (one I'd been waiting on all day). So I went out into the open area from my Dr.'s office to take the call but there was no place to sit. Without thinking, I found a quiet corner and sat down on the ground with my legs folded (as my daughter calls it) PRETZEL LEG style!! I was so engrossed in my conversation that it wasn't until I was halfway through that I looked down at my legs and noticed that I was sitting in a position I probably haven't been able to do in a very long time!! I was amazed!! Then, to add icing to the cake, when I got home later, I sat down on my couch to read the mail and (once again, without thinking) I CROSSED MY LEGS COMFORTABLY!! I remember a time when I was able to cross my legs comfortably and I remember (all too painfully) the day when I noticed that I had gained so much weight that I was no longer able to do that. WAHOOO!!!

How could you possibly feel negative about losing near 40lbs in a MONTH?? I dont get it. Thats a 10lb a week average! If you feel negative about that you need a reality check cuz it will never keep that pace. Please try to be a lil realistic about whats going to happen with your weight loss and you wont feel dissapointed in the future..

I am 5 weeks out today. I am now losing about 3-4 lbs per week. Does this sound right to any of you? I have lost a total of 32 lbs since surgery. My doctor said I was right on track at my 4 wk appt. Just looking for some comparisons. Thanks Jennifer
