Hi Millie, YOU ARE PERFECTLY NORMAL! I did the same thing, now I am out 5 months and down 83 lbs.. You body just needs some time to adjust. It will pass, and you will be back on track again soon. The first 3 months are full of these kinds of ups and downs both physically and emotionally. It does get better, I PROMISE! Just relax and try to enjoy the ride! Tami

Hey Millie, don't feel bad, I had my first plateau at 3 weeks post op. But, at 18 months post op, I've lost 90% of my excess weight! Don't worry, your body is just resting. Check your measurements because plateaus are when you lose inches as your body catches up with your weight loss!

Millie - I just was able to look at your posting. I was glad to hear you're doing better each day. I went in on the 17th and believe it or not I had no wait and was out of there in 30 minutes.....a miricle. I have lost 26 lbs as the 17th and my pants are starting to fall to my ankles as I walk. I hope you have continued success - way to go on your 15.... I hope you and your family have a safe and happy holiday and just think of all to come in the new year as we get healthier....

Hello everyone, I want to thank everyone for their best wishes. I couldn't of done it without you all. I am now 9 days post op and am feeling preety good. It does get hard at times but I try to focus on getting better and following the doctors orders. I plan to go to work on Monday (2weeks po) Hopefully that wont be a problem, however I can't see myself going 9 hours without some rest in between. I wish I can take one more week, I may have to. As for my liquid diet it is just "coming along" I have my "very hard" moments but they are only moments, their are time I do not even care to eat. but oh well, that is the story of my life "food confusing me". lol

Millie - I was so glad to read your update - I was really worried about you on Wednesday - If I had known how miserable the "sauna" in your room was sooner, I would have had you moved in with me. haha. I am glad your feeling better and I will email you as soon as mine is working again. Good luck and hopefully I'll see you at Alanis office on the 17th for our 3 week.

Hello Everyone, I am officially on the other side "thank God". 4 days post op and am feeling so much better. I must say the first 2 days were miserable. I hurt like never begore, BUT I can say that today 4 days later, I am feeling so good. NO not good enough to run a marathon or anything but good enough to sit and play on the computer..lol I had a good experience, besides for the pain, my doctor, the hospital and the nurses were all very nice. Now I have a ton of questions, like what is considered "Liquid Diet" is sugar free choc. pudding liquid? is jello Liquid? yikes, little q. that make a difference in your everyday recovery. Well all in all I just want to tell every one that is thinking or is waiting for the surgery date to come. "HOLD YOUR BREATH IT WILL BE A BUMPY RIDE" but a ride that only last a few days after that it will be great. My great moment came when I woke up this morning without severe pain, with my family by my side and GREAT thanksgiving day.....
