I have found new motivation. I had a two week stall and was getting very discouraged stuck at 200.8 that whole time. I've lost thirty pounds in three months w many bumps along the way with holiday...
Yep, it's gas. I had horrible back pain and I felt it was worse pain from that than the surgery. God bless gas x as I was chewing those for a week faithfully. It does go away. Good luck on your...
Thanks to all your words of encouragement!! Its really hard for me to stay off the scale.. Im addicted.. just like the food. LOL. But I agree that Im probably being hard on myself. I know its not a...
Buy all your gummy vitamins now, at least thirty days worth and don't miss one. Get gas x chewibles and take with you to the hospital, you can thank me later as they pump your body full of air and...
I am six weeks post op. I started at 230 and I'm at 202. I had two weeks of nothing, no loss, no gain. I find that I can eat just about anything and not get sick or throw up. I notice if I don't get...
It's been one month for me and I'm down 25, ten of which I lost on my own before the surgery on the liquid diet. I seem to hit a roadblock. I can eat just about anything but red meat. I get full...
My surgery was 11/16 and I started at 230 pounds. I lost ten pounds the week before on the liquid diet and the another ten pounds the two weeks after. Then for eight days nothing!! Then just...
This is fine, it's been three weeks since my surgery and I drink water all day long, plus four small meals and a snack. I think when you hear about not being able to drink much is just the first few...
Congrats! The best advice I can tell you is to get all your gummy vatimins now, your dr will give you a list, get gas x strips and take it with you to the hospital and take it before and after your...
Thank you for your reply! You look amazing by the way! You inspire me to stay positive!
It's been over 15 years since I was under 200 pounds. I'm so close I can feel it, I'm currently at 208 , but I've stalled for the last five days. I've not gained but I was on a roll with one pound or...
I don't think you should stop taking the b12. Maybe take one every other day or half a one a day. The last thing you need is to be too low in b12. I don't believe too much b12 is going to hurt you....
Did anyone else have lumps under the incisions? My scabs are just now gone and the six wounds are starting to heal. My spot between my breasts where the gallbladder was removed has a lump under the...
First of all you look amazing! I'm only two weeks out and made it a point not to eat Or even be around any of the thanksgiving food. Didn't even want to be a round it to avoid temptation as the mind...
I think the people who have loose skin issues are the ones who are older with over a hundred pounds to lose. You look young. How old are you and what do you weigh?
It's eight days post surgery. I've had diarrhea every day for the last four. I know I'm getting my protein in so why is this not more solid? Should I be concerned? Also how many pounds did you lose...
Call your Dr. Sometimes stress and anxiety will have you start early. I'm also four days out, I had my first bowel movement last night. Seems like we are on the same progression.
I'd stay out of Mexico and save your money for the states. Nothing good can come from a third world country and this is serious surgery.
My dr said I could start my gummy vitamins on the third day. I'm sipping protein shakes it's about all I can handle. Only gagged while brushing my teeth. I'm four days post op.
I wished I could say I had a great surgery, great recovery, but the truth is, I feel this was a huge mistake! I can't go back now obviously but people need to know that the risks are real people! My...
What a great story to read! Thank you for sharing it with us! I hope you continue to blog as I would love to hear your continued success! My surgery is in the morning! Hope you took before pics so...
Last minute jitters! Surgery in the morning. I've really not slept all week and the anxiety has really hit me. Im also getting my gallbladder out and a hernia repair plus the sleeve. Seems like a lot...
My surgery is also in the morning so we have the same day jitters! I don't think I will be able to sleep. I think I've read all my papers twenty times. I have not packed yet...I guess I'm...
I have blue shield, I'm also 5'3 and barely made the cut off for our height at 226 pounds. More than likely you will have to have a sleep study since you don't weigh as much, tons of blood work, a...
