I had no preop diet so I dropped pretty fast at first. I am down 29-30 lbs total but have lost nothing in 8 days. Yes it is a bit depressing but I am trying to keep a good attitude. I can not believe I could not lose weight on the calories I am consuming. There sure seem to be a lot of us not losing this very minute. Maybe that should be a message that this is not uncommon. Hang in there I am sure the pounds will start dropping again soon.

I had forgotten how good real food is. Before I lived on junk food and never had meals. Funny thing is I collected cook books.

Yesterday I cooked 4 chicken breasts and using two of them for myself made 12 delicious meals. I added different sides to each like a couple of lima beans, corn, mashed potato, stuffing, noodles. I then put these tiny meals in 1 1/2 cup containers and covered the food with chicken broth so the food would stay moist and would not get freezer burn.

(((hugs))) sorry you and hubby are going through this....

Sending you prayers and lots of good vibes!!!!

Damn it's REALLY hurting today - I think it's gotten worse..it's a burning pain on the inside.  Sigh.  I did call the doctor and he told me to wear loose clothing and come see him Tuesday if I am not better.

my incision has a hematoma. i went to the surgeon today and he stabbed a long qtip 6 inches into my stomach. i probably lost over a cup of blood. i am actually in too much pain and too upset to say anything else about it. if it doesn't get better, i will have to have surgery again to correct it. i have been crying since yesterday.
