Non scale victory ...

Hi! I stay home too. 3 kids ages 7, 9 and 11. I am only 3 and a half weeks post op but am exhausted all the time. I also do everything I am supposed to. When I called my surgeon about it he said our bodies are stressed because of everything going on. He also said if u take meds before surgery and still do they are balancing out. He told me it could take up to 6 weeks to have all your energy back, but for some it takes longer. I hope that brings u some hope. Never hesitate to call your surgeon though also I don't know about you but for me being home with my kids all day and dealing with all the surgery stuff is so tiring. Like cooking for them and cleaning, I haven't been able to keep up on my house since before surgery. Its a disaster.

I'm on my phone..do I need to do it on the computer...my name is not at the top on my phone..

What is that?

I'm trying to change my profile pic..can some one help me! I can't figure how to do it...

Well no wonder for the rough day...let us know how you doing. You can always come to us..

Oh sweetie. I had one of those days this weekend. It will not be your last let me tell you. Some of us do good with the emotional stuff some of us struggle more. I struggle more tomarrow is a whole new day...so now u need to take a deep breath, b thankful you got this surgery and think of all the food u would b eating if u didn't have the surgery. I know this is so much easier said then done. But sitting and beating yourself over this is going to make u want to eat more. You are not a failure! You had a tough day. Like I said we all have those and will have them more then once

A week and a half post op I slept from 2:30pm to 7:00am the next morning straight ....didn't even know 2 of my kids climbed in bed with me...good thing my husband was still off work at the time. Rest rest rest when u need to..heck I am 3 weeks post op and still get so tiered...

Wow im Jealous! You look awesome! All your hard work is paying off! Good job...

Wow..I bet that feels great to b at goal!

Oh my gosh! You look great! Thanks for all your inspiration!

Thanks ladies....I seriously feel better. I take all my vitamins religiously butt protein is hard. I get the shock to the system. Where can i get the biotin? Do I need to go to the health store?

Gorgeous! !! Beautiful woman before and after!

Excellent job! Look at the difference! !

Thank you so much for the awesome help. I actually had a great time! I focused on the company not the food:)

Its going to fall out if I'm not getting enough protein isn't it? I m really freaking out over this...

It seems a majority of people are saying that carbon and gum will stretch out the sleeve .... I specifically asked my surgeon about those and he told me if I can handle carbon then I can drink it. He told me that our stomachs are like rubber bands and if we eat too much we will throw up. Does your surgeons tell u specifically to stay away from these things?

I need encouragement today bad...yesterday was a didn't eat the best day. My family is going to a grill out tonight and I am a little depressed about it. I can't eat what they r or drink so i don't even want to go! But the kids and my husband are looking so forward to it. I need to go for a walk and I feel so negative right now. Any advice would b appreciated. I m feeling a little lost right now. I m literally tearing up..

I don't watch the show so i have no idea what is going on...but this is hilarious!...u guys r funny...

Lol...

Thanks so much everyone! I feel better..ill just back off a little and take my time more... *hugs*

I am 16 days post op and when I eat anything pureed and I mean really pureed I feel so yucky...did this happen to anyone else?

Oh hun....I am so sorry u r stressed out over this...our heads get in the way so much. I m one day ahead of u post op and my surgeon said it is all in my head. I'm doing everything the doc is telling me he said to quit com pairing myself to others and enjoy my own journey. Hang in there. Losing over 14 in 4 weeks is awesome!
