Wow..missed u guys! So I need some advice and reassurance. I am 5 months out and very happy with my weight loss so far. I have 40 more lbs to lose till goal. So it was coming off so fast then all the sudden I hit onederland and it slowed down sooooooo fast. I am losing maybe 1 to 2 lbs at the most a week. No matter how hard i work or eat. Has anyone else had a similar experience? I m not freaking out just curious as to know other peoples journey....

I fit in my 9 year olds classroom desk! Why was i in it u ask? That is not the point...the oint is i fit and didnt hear anything crack! . That was awesome!!

Please give me ideas on ways to get my Isopure Zero down. Cause im losing it and i cant handle the powders! I am not getting enough protien!

Start weight 299 13 week post op anniversary 214 85 lbs gone forever!

I confess this is an excellent thread...

I confess I hate food now. I confess I don't always get my protien in. I confess losing weight doesn't make everything easier. I confess I don't always take my meds..vitamins. I confess I am jealous other people can binge and I can't. I confess all kinds of issues come up the more I lose. I confess the lose skin is bothering me.

Has anyone felt like they hate eating after surgery? I am 13 weeks tomarrow and I feel so weak and worn out. I am losing weight very rapidly and feel so weak. Anyone else feel or felt this way. I am going in Thursday to get my tests done so hopefully if something is off he can give me something to help. I will take any advice at all

Oh my gosh! Me too! I just had one today..it knocked me out all day. I had to just lay in bed. I had a HUGE increase in my migraines and the fact that I can't take my excedrine makes it ten timed worse. The nurse said it is not because of the surgery so I have no idea what to do. But I am so tiered of them.

Oh I go through the same thing with protien. I remember one day being so lightheaded and miserable. I get grossed out at everything too. I am 3 months out yesterday. Remember to always listen to YOUR doctor but my nutritionist told me those protien to go aren't the kind of protien they want us to use. She said it is LOW GRADE protien. She said it is grinded up bones. just fyi to ask your doc .

Mine was realizing that I could barely fit in our tub. I started taking showers in our basement because I didn't want my husband to know I couldn't fit. Last night I sat cris cross apple sauce in the tub and tinkled a little because I was so gitty

Thanks for posting about unjury ...I am struggling with protein shakes right now big time. I get enough protein in, but I want to increase my exercise in a week so I will need to up my protein also. You have given me hope . I am going to order me some tomarrow. We don't have any vitamin stores around her

OK they aren't to my knees but they have changed so much. I was in a C or a D and now the cups are huge on me...I can't wait till goal so my girls can smile again

My advise...wait till goal. My girls are down to my knees now:p

Search leaks on here...other people on here have had the same problem. Thank goodness you are OK. Keep us informed on your progress....

Oh Minkle... I don't know you or your husband, but isn't it funny how when spouses make a huge and I mean huge mistake like your husband did they turn it on the ones they are hurting. It helps them to justify what they are doing so they aren't the bad guy. You aren't to blame...just always remember that! We are always here for u if you need us . Good luck hun.

OK ladies and gentlemen.... who takes biotin and of those that do, do you feel strongly that it works?

To be fair every doctor is different. I would ask your nutritionist. My dr says that it is a myth that it stretches out your stomach. He said the theory makes no so sence. That if you get built up air you will burp it out...naturally. Although he did say if you drink pop you have a good chance of getting addicted again and for some it causes horrible gas pain. So he advices his patients to stay away because as he says if you were addicted to it before the sleeve chances r you will get addicted after..why take the chance. If you look through the threads you will see some people on here drink pop everyday and do just fine and have for year or more. I ess craving a sprite so bad that I got a sprite zero and swooshed it around my mouth for awhile then spit it out...I was afraid I would swollow it and have horrible gas. That made me stop craving it. Also my nutrtionist said if you crave it so bad you can't take it then keep a can of diet whatever and keep it in the fridge. Just sip every couple hours. Lots of her clients do that. But like I said your doc knows what is best for you so if yours says no I would go by him. PS...6 weeks we were told we could drink pop.

Has any body gone through a"I'm just not motivated right now" phase? Oh my Gosh I am...

You know that is a good question..what usually makes u lose your motivation? Maybe that is why I'm so frustrated because I can't figure out what is wrong....

So...anyone done the PX90 work outs yet...I need some advice:)

Lol..yes p90x..thanks..

I got surgery April 30 and got the clear also.. I'm needing a bit more intense ....gravity is taking over and I don't think just biking and walking with weights is going to keep my access skin at bay... Did you follow it exactly or just kind of do what u could?

Hi! Did u start out low impact? I want to start the 1st of July, but have no clue where to start...

So I am getting in the tub...and I noticed THAT I DIDN'T FLOOD THE BATHROOM FLOOR. Usually when I get in it is like I parted the Red Sea...But not today folks!

I just thought I would throw in my opinion being I have 3 kids the same age as yours, but my youngest is 7 not 5. I got my surgery April 30th. I was feeling great but very tiered. I had days where I was a little tired then days where I was exhausted. My husband took 2 weeks of work off and thank goodness because I needed it My mommy advice to you is prepare for the worst because more then likely it won't be that bad. Just remember to not put expectations on yourself. Let me give u an example.... I am a neat freak. I am 8 weeks out today. I am just now feeling strong and energized enough to clean my house as good as before my surgery. Before all my energy went to kids and their activities. Now I can keep up with all of it again:) Good luck and we are here for you if you need anything.
