well i suppose I should post an update. I am feelilng a thousand times better than my last post. About a week and a half ago, I just woke and was back to myself again. HOORAY!!! Unfortunately about the same time I hit a plateau. bummer :( still on the plateau but after one month i a down 25 lbs. (was at 30 but the gained a few with the plateau). So far everyone has said it is normal and body is just adjusting. I started to keep a food diary. It makes sense that my body is in starvation mode because I am consuming less than 500 calories and burn at least 200 walking. I went to the gym for the first time today. It feels good to be back in the gym. I really do like working out. Hopefully I can find a way to keep it up and the gym then I don't have to walk outside in this crazy hot weather :). Happy loosing, Christina

well, i am 9 days post-op and can't wait until feel like myself again. I am still so weak and light-headed. I wish somebody had warned me about this part of the process. I really expected things to be a cake walk but I was misstaken. Don't get me wrong I am still thrilled about having the surgery done. I just want to feel normal again.
