Good question:)
I had this surgery on June 29th. I haven't had a SHRED of regret at any time since then. From the time I woke up in my room after surgery until today, when I am down 51 pounds. ...

Happiness is very personal and different for everyone. For me, I am grateful for my improving health and the way I feel. Focusing on those positives far outweighs negatives for me. I can...

Hi All,
I'm posting here because I want to be sure to get the message out to those who are pre-op and/or considering. It's broken record time to be sure, but I can happily report that making the...

My two cents...
I waited until six weeks out. I didn't want to do a single thing to derail my weight loss. Empty calories, healing stomach, and spikes in blood sugar after drinking alcohol weren't...

I did a whole lot of research on the various options. There are more than just these three, but these are the most common. Here's why I chose the sleeve:
RNY: no pyloric valve, which means that...

Crazy scale! I bought a very good, very accurate scale and yet I'm still finding serious swings in weight from one day to another. I'm slowly getting this need to weigh monkey off my back, but I...

I am SO impressed with your loss! Equally impressed with your determination. I have complete confidence you'll be right back where you need to be:)

Good luck to all!

I got my protein in and had some calories to play with. I can think of a whole lot of other I'd like to have had in it's place:)

Yeah for you! I had my appointments lined up and done in two weeks but I pushed it!

:( I tried a couple of ounces of skinny girl margarita tonight. Haven't had a cocktail in a long while and my doc said it was okay in moderation.

I realize there are some things that, if you...

I felt a lot like you (not overly upset about my weight) for a long while, but the last year it seemed like everything sped up in terms of weight gain and feeling uncomfortable. I think you're very...

Some of these comments make me laugh! My scale moved a few inches from one place to another can make me look like I've lost five pounds too:). Stupid scale is right.

I live in Michigan and my doc says we are all seriously deficient up here. Bariatric Advantage is what I take. It's a dry form in a capsule. 1 per day. I think he recommends that because it is...

It's going to come. I guarantee it! Do you live near a Costco? Their premiere protein drinks have 30 grams in a serving and taste awesome. I like the EAS but the protein is almost half. (17 g).

Promise. You will start losing. Everyone responds differently to things in their own way. Try to be patient, realize it took a loooong time to put the weight on and it won't come off overnight. I'll...

Thanks! Not fretting as much as just fascinated by the whole thing. It's pretty bizarre when you think about it:)

So.......... It seems that my pattern is lose nothing for a week, get on the scale one morning and voilà! Multiple pounds are gone. :confused:

Still eating consistently, protein, water, etc. The...

My pcp was/is awesome! Very supportive. It makes a huge difference when your doc is in your corner! Congrats!

Sorry you dealt with all of that! I'd call your doc asap.

Keep it up!

Glad to see you on the boards! I had a stall, made me a little nutty, and just like everyone said, it didn't last:). Take care

I'm so sorry. I can understand. I've had a little bit of the same right after surgery. My doc told me some meds can be given via a patch. Don't know how to get them or if this could work for you, but...

Hello and congratulations on your new plans:) Glad to see you here!

Very clear!
