DENISE

I am 10 months post op and am down 85 lbs with a maximum of 30 more to go. I want to find out if anyone else gets EXTREMLY exhausted, almost instantly, after eating. Half of the time I am at the dinner table ready to zonk out and have to get up to get moving. Any idea as to why this is?

Clearance racks for sizes smaller then you are now help. I have gotten a lot of great clothes from www.freecycle.com and as I loose more weight, I will give my clothes to homeless and back up to freecycle. Also, ask your friends....you would not believe how many of our friends are ready to go through their closets at this time of year...make it a party!

Hurray for you!!!!! I am currently at 6 weeks post op and am on a 2 week stall to onderland, but I know any day my body is going to wake up as well!

Ok friends.. in need of some support,encouragement, and pep talk here! I am 6 weeks and 2 day post op and have lost 28 lbs,with most of the loss being in the first month . I have already hit about 3 stalls and am getting soo frustrated as onerland has been 1-2 lbs away for the last week or 2! I know that I have not been as deligent on my water consumption as I previously have( changing that tonight) ,but any suggestions or comments before I throw the scale out the window and feel like I am failing somehow!? Also it seems as if my new tummy has already grown comfortable and I am getting hungrier and seem to be able to eat most foods and meat now, with the exception of cheese, which SCARES THE DAYLIGHTS OUT OF ME! Does it seem to early to you? When should I start on eating salads, as I am missing those sooo much right now? Thank you everyone for sharing your experiences!

Surgery was on 1/24/11 and I weighed 228. Today is 6 weeks and 2days and I am at 200 even. 28lbs lost...and counting!

I had Heparin shots while I was in the hospital, for 3 days, but none after that. Did you have preexisting heart, blood, or cholestrol problems? If so, that may explain why, or just ask him. Some doctors just want to take extra precautions for blood clots.

NOT A ONE!!!!!!!!! I am only 2 weeks postop,but in those 2 weeks I am down 17 lbs. Who would regret that? Only regret that it took me so long to do it!

I am 2 weeks post op and so far have been a poster child of the surgery, but today I had tuna with mayo mixed (for it to be moist per nut request) and have been nausious ever since eating it. Any ideas why since this is my first time ever being nausious?

Which kaiser are you having it done at? I just had mine on 1/24/11 in South San Francisco and once I left the hospital I was on soft foods for 2 weeks until my follow up appointment and then moved to phase 3... pureed and soft moist meats. I would question this as I would think that all Kaisers should have the same protocal.
