Morning OH, OK I am 1 wk out and will soon to be 2 wk this up and coming Wednesday!! When I was having a moment last night and kinda felt if though what if my surgery didn't take crazzzy right (IK). I mean it feels at times that it did not work and was just wondering if it is me..i feel just as good as i did when i enter into the hospital on 01/February/20-12. I mean I am actually feeling alot better than before but i don't know if it is b/c i haven't ate any junk or fast food..just been doing this liquid of water and cranberry juice (yes i have been watching the sugar intake). I mean it is something that actually have u sitting and contemplating on this situation.

I know what you mean! I had my surgery the same date as you did and except for some rare occasional tiredness I am feeling great. I'm chalking it up to my pre-op diet not being healthy. During the last six months before my surgery I didn't eat very much junk food but I'd indulge in a bag of potato chips every once and a while. My pre-op regular eating pattern was never balanced though and I didn't take vitamins.
The way I'm feeling now is like my body is saying "Thank you!" for doing this. Now I really do have my opportunity to start eating a well balanced diet and I'm going to be able to do it. I have the opportunity to get as fit as I can be and I'm sure not going to blow it.

The majority of people experience very little trouble post-op... unfortunately, when people read the posts here from the people who ARE having trouble (who are in the minority), they ASSUME that everyone has trouble... and it is just isn't so.

I'm smiling because, yes, I do remember feeling this as well. Wondering if my surgery "took" or not.
Be patient, I'm sure your surgery "took" and you're gonna lose the weight.
Other than being mindful to keep myself regular with the pooping thing, I've also never experienced any problems. Once in a while I might eat something that makes me feel a little icky for a few minutes, but that's about the extent of it.
