Schwag, I can't beleive it's a whole month already.  Your doing great!  I think my surgeon forgot to take out my hunger signal thingie, cause I'm having hunger pains here one week out!  And I'm getting 70 grams protein in and plenty of water.  Sick of liquids already here, I want to chew!

Did you get a PPI like prilosec?? I had an acid burning feeling and for the first 2 weeks i doubled up on mine and was taking the one from the doctor and an over the counter one because it was burning in my stomach and felt like I was starving. As for head hunger... girrrrl that's a whole nother beast. You have to psych yourself out and pretend that that broth is a gourmet meal!

by the way I was down 27 and then for 2 days the f*&&()^^^%$$ scale went up, so finally today it is 26.2 or 26.8, ( half sleep right now) I am very disappointed aint doing nothin different...so why in the heck did that scale jump up 2 pounds....it almost got tossed out the window.......

Well hopefully I can keep my butt off the scale everyday, but it is sooo hard

I go up and down too and I always log the lowest number and when it goes up I KNOW it's water weight and that it is going to come off in a few days. When I went to the hospital for dehydration and had ONE IV bag, I gaine FIVE pounds and it stayed for days. Eventually it all came off and then some. That's how I kinda learned that lesson. Everyone says it but I saw it in action. From my understanding, one way to lose water weight is by drinking more water...

shwag, I do take one PPI a day, but I was wondering if I should take two or an over the counter one along with my one prescribed.  My stomach is constantly churning, it does feel like hunger but I bet it is just acid.  I'm going to ask if I can take more and see if that helps.  Thanks!

If the doctor says it's ok, have him give you the prescription because it will be cheaper to pay the $10. The over the counter stuff is ridiculous! I've also heard some people say that certain ones don't work for them so you may have to experiment. I took one of mine in the morning and the other at night.

  Yeah, good idea!  I think he will just tell me to take an extra PPI he already gave me.  I go back to see him on the 18th, he will just give me another prescription.
