Congrats! Do everything they tell you to do and you will be fine.

Great Job Patrick!! Just keep pushing and before you know it you will be where you want to be. Take small steps and the small steps will add up to big steps You look Great

@pdx and otr you guys are so smart!!!!!!!!!!!!

I dont fluctuate. I weigh myself only in the morning

abbybeep i will keep you in my prayers.....God is able to make you better... im so sorry you are going thru this.....have your doctor find a doctor who can fix you....and then we leave the rest to God to handle

To be honest I was at the hospital alone when i had my surgery after i got out of recovery i picked up my cell phone and called everyone i needed to call

The Pictures are amazing!! Congrats to the Men!!!!

i cant do the chewables either. i take the gummies. i take at least 4 gummies per day. thats better than nothing.

Gym..its so motivating to get to gym and see other people with same goals...

You go girl!!! you look wonderful

i only experienced acid reflux once since surgery and it was terrifying. so now i take 1 prisolec in the am and 1 prisolec in the pm. also if i eat late i stay up at least an hour before bed time ..that has helped me tremendously. i dont want to feel that way ever again...it was very disturbing having that burning sensation in my throat .... it use to be a time when i would get up at night and have a cracker if i got hunger but if experiencing that acid reflux i dont eat anything once i go to bed

when i am getting full i can feel it. it feels like i can't eat another bite. so i just stop eating. my sleeve is 4 oz as well.

since i got sleeved im not hungry and i have plenty of energy. i exercise 30 minutes to 60 minutes daily. i am 4 weeks post op so normally i am eating my fish, eggs, chicken and ground turkey. i dont have room to eat anything else but i can have a sweet potatoe whenever i want but i try to get in my protein first.

I will take that 40 pounds...I would be happy if I lost 40 pounds in 3 months

Congrats! I totally agree its a tool

2 of my incisions healed fairly quickly within 2 weeks the other 3 took an additonal 2 weeks to heal some all incisions were healed in 4 weeks total i had to peel the glue off

just call the hospital and ask how much the ekg is.... also when you get bill call and ask for a 20% discount.....thats what i do for all my hospital bills that i self pay...i just found out that hospitals give you a 20% discount if you pay total bill off in one payment

thats wonderful. stay focused

yes because they have to check your heart to make sure it is functioning properly. i was self pay also. i asked the hospital how much the ekg was and they told me $250 and i said ok because i dont want to go under and not be able to come back out due to a bad heart...

Congrats! I just got into the onederlands also so we just have to keep pushing and stay focus

@likasulema did you take any special Vitamins? How much Iron do u take per day? thanks

my pain was minimal. i was in the hospital one day. when i got home i did not take any pain medicines because i did not like liquid medicine, i just felt sore and thats it... i did not have any gas pains at all. i was driving to the store 1 day after i got out of the hospital so that tells u that i did not have any pain it was just soreness around stomach and thats it

i had a stall also but i started exercising more and my stall broke

im 4 weeks out now. i got in a stall 2 weeks out. i started walking more and that broke my stall. i thought that i could personally lose the weight without exercising but for me in order to lose the weight i had to walk daily. i have lost 8 pounds in 2 weeks just because i decided to step up my game and walk more daily.

The same thing happened to me. i lost 10 pounds pre op.. i had surgery and i did not lose again unti 8 days post op and i lost 4 pounds. then i realized that i cant expect this weight to just fall off . i need to be an active participant so i started exercising daily and that has helped tremendously. my sx was july 12th. i have lost a total of 25 pounds including pre op. im not yet at 1 month but i will be on aug 12th. normally i lose about 3 pounds per week as long as i am exercising consistently and eating my Protein and drinking my fluids
