I am almost 4 months in and have been adding new foods to my diet.  I haven't had any problems with any of the food that I have been eating and I'm feeling like "why am I able to eat everything without any problems?"  aside from a bit of gas....  So, now that I'm eating more than before I feel like I'm overeating.. I'm able to eat almost all of my protein and some of my veggies  and some of my starch now (small amounts) and then I feel stuffed but not sick... I went from no desire to eat and now I'm I find myself hungry more often.... Please help... Am I over eating??? 

I'm going into my 3rd month post and I don't seem to see myself as losing... I have lost 50lbs, but I don't see it... everyone else can see it but I can't see it....  Is that a normal process?

And, at the end of a meal or at the end of day I'm asking myself "did I eat too much today?"  Is it because now I'm eating a bit more than when I first had surgery and now it seems like a lot..???  I measure out my portions but it just seems like a lot sometimes.  And now I'm eating the whole portion when before I couldn't...  Is this normal??

questions, questions, questions.....

Ok.  I'm in my 3rd week and now my appetite is coming back... I have a taste for a little bit of everything.  And now I'm experiencing some stomach pain when I drink fluids.  As soon as it hits my stomach there's some discomfort. What's that about?  Is it because it's too cold or what?  Help?  The changes just keep coming...lol.

feeling a bit drained here lately.  i guess it's from everything that has been going the past week.  i'm taking my chewable vitamins and getting some protein in so hoping that it all works out and i get some boost of energy from somewhere.

Hello Everyone,

I just want to say that it has been a week today from when I had my surgery and I feel amazing.  I told my husband to look at my calves and ankles!!!!!  TINY!!! Then I told him to look at my wrists!!!!!  I don't remember the last time I was able to see my wrist bone!!!!!  Lol!!!  I think I was maybe in the 11th grade!lol....  Then I can see my neck without lifting my chin!!!!  Already!!!! I didn't think changes would come this quickly.  AGAIN, AMAZING!!!! 

I just had my gastric bypass surgery on Monday, October 18th and now I'm home and trying to readjust.  This is my second day home and I have made hourly sheets to mark my fluid intake to ensure that I get in all my fluids.  I was somewhat hard to calculate how much my tummy can hold.  Once you make a mistake you learn not to do it again.  And I have learned my lesson last night.  I am happy to say that I have a great support group at home with my husband and family.
