Cindy~ I am so happy to hear that I am not the only one playing MUSICAL BEDS all night long! I start in my husbands bed, then I move to single chair in the living room, then to the full length coach, then finally end up back in the marriage bed.... it's like a game to my mind for some reason! I don't like games when it's time to sleep! Best wishes for a speedy recovery for all of us! Today is my 1 week anniversary and my scale says I have lost 18 pounds, so this is the price I will pay, it's all good with me Michelle

My stomach is distended too! I feel 9 months pregnant, before surgery I felt about 6. My stomach is still swollen. I see my doctor Tuesday and it's my first concern I will discuss with him. I also can't sleep. I have "frothy" saliva all the time, my book "WLS for Dummies" said that can be a bad thing, I have to tell the doctor. I have lost 18 pounds, but my BELLY is huge!

Anyone else getting tired of the full fluids if that is what you are on? I am tired of the puddings, broths, yogurt, protein shakes.... I think I am getting my appetite back, or not sure if it is head hunger. I dont want my fluid stuff anymore but want what I am making for family (pork chops, rice etc). I even took a bite of what I made my familiy for supper tonight and then spit it out...geez One more thing, tonight I told my husband it feels like I am pregnant (I'm not!). But I described it to someone as having a baby inside you kicking or moving around at least. Tonight it even felt like I was 9 months pregnant - you know that too full/bloated feeling..it feels like my stomach is sticking out....I didn't eat/drink anything different...should I be concerned? anyone else feeling this way? suggestions?

HI Everyone! I was on the main board yesterday and saw a post from Stephanie23 she had surgery on the 28th the same day I did. She said she was having a really bad time getting in her protein and water....who isn't. Well everyone was encouraging her to keep trying...she was so happy she lost 20 pounds in 9 days. Most of that is water weight because she isn't drinking. Tonight she posted that she was EATING. She is supposed to be on clear liquids...now she is eating chicken, pasta and potatoes!!! I don't know her but if anyone does she needs help and fast. Everyone is posting that she may hurt herself and perhaps rupture her surgical site by eating too soon. I am scared for her. Please email her....we need to help. I know it is hard but she can't destroy her second chance. http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/members/profile.php?N=r1142798995 Help her! Traci

I can not for the life of me figure out why I keep getting these things....they start late afternoon and continue until late in the evening... I dont recall sipping air or anything while drinking my protein and water... I drink out of a sippy cup and eat from a baby spoon. Any suggestions...........they sure are stubborn.
