How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

5 week post op
So, I'm finally at 238. I'm on solid foods. The thing I'm struggling with the most is liquid intake. I'm having problems because the Drs and dieticians say Don't drink 30 minutes before you eat and wait an hour after eating to drink. They say to eat 4-5 small meals a day and take 20-30 minutes eating. Any suggestions? Besides go to sleep at midnight and wake up at 5 a.m. lol. Other than that, things have been non-eventful. I wish I was losing faster, but I've just gotta take it one day at time.
2 1/2 weeks post op
I had my 2 week post op Wednesday. I was at 243. So, I promised myself only to check my weight once a week. I'm on soft foods. I feel a lot better now that I can have some type of food. I can usually only eat about 2-3 tablespoons of food. First time I ate too much and it hurt and I had so much pressure. I will not be doing that again. Lol. At least I have not thrown up.
Updating...
So I'm at day 10 post op. I did forget to mention on day 3 after I got out of the hospital the next morning I weighed myself and I was up 10 lbs. I was thinking the swelling, the IV, things as that. Even with that happening I never had a feeling of regret until today. I weighed myself two days ago and today. I am at a stall. PLUS I am only 2 lbs down from my surgery day weight. This is the most frustrated feeling ever. I want to cry. I have been doing everything I needed to. 2 days ago and since I even worked on increasing my water more and a little more protein. It just sucks to feel this way. Part of me wishes I can take it all back.
I also know from reading a lot that regret is a natural stage, but damn it. This sucks...I have no other words.
