    Why am I losing weight so slowly

    Hi! Are you tracking with an app like MyfitnessPal? Can you post a screenshot shot of a random day when you were still losing vs now? Also how long since your weight has moved up or down? By 4 months post op I only lost 37lbs! I am a slow loser also. But things add up I'm the long run because at 10 months post op I'm about 90lbs down .

    Post op pain - be honest

    Hi all, This has probably been asked a gazillion times. Just wondering how everyone did with the post op pain. I'm not too worried about the gas pain but more the incision pain. I'm not a fan of pain meds, they make me vomit..... How did everyone do? The good, the bad and the ugly..... Also, I'm doing this alone. Will I be okay by myself or should I aske the surgeon to keep me an extra day. Thanks

    I put on 5 pounds in a week with my food funeral. I think most of us do it, we are human. Food is a huge part of our lives, we need to mourn. Don't beat your self up over it.

    Good luck. While that is scary at least you have something to go on now. After this is all over you need to write a letter to that team member of his that turned her back on you and walked away. She needs to know that she treated you like garbage and ignoring your condition could have caused something very bad to happen. I hope you have a complete and very speedy recovery.

    Pre -op and Nervous

    Complications are very rare and I'm sure you wouldn't use a surgeon without a great reputation. I'd be happy to pray for a successful surgery and for your peace of mind if you'd like me to. Personally, I knew that the odds of my death were much higher every time I got behind the wheel of a car. I take my life in my hands every day and don't get to sleep through it! Honestly, it will be over before you know it!

    We all have done the food funerals. I did mine right up until I had to start the prep diet. I gained too - might have been the large cheese with extra cheese pizza I had!!!! It will come off. Be dedicated to the prep diet, very important to get you in the best shape for your surgery. No more tears, you ARE doing this and not alone.

    Post op pain - be honest

    I usually have a high tolerance for pain and pain meds make me sick too. The gas pain wasn't too bad, but other pain, for my big incision (which got infected) and I guess internal incision were pretty rough. I took the anti-nausea pill they gave me and waited about 20 min and then took pain meds. I set an alarm so I wouldn't miss a dose because I could definitely tell when the pain meds would wear off.

    It was bearable for sure, but the first three days sucked, but I was up and mobile the second day. Don't plan on driving though. I never suffered w my incisions (I am one week out). They are just now becoming itchy.
