Just want to know if anyone else is going through this pain? I am 2 month post-op. How do you prevent it? Will it ever go away?

Shortypants--hoping that you (we) find a solution before you drop someone! I scheduled an appointment with my doctor and NUT to see them 2 weeks from now. If I find a solution or come up with interesting info, I will share! Good luck.

6 weeks out and eating salads

No post-op labs done yet, but I'm eating more than most on this Board at 6 weeks and take bariatric vitamins; I never even considered the notion of being Vitamin deficient

Meds = vitamins

I am 6 weeks post-op. I eat all my protein; take all my meds; consume 1000 calories a day; and drink my liquids...but I am always very tired. I feel very weak and don't even have energy to clean my house or workout. I have never left so weak and tired before. Has anyone else experienced this? How did you get over it??

I am almost 6 weeks out and easily eating 1000 calories. Somedays I eat less (around 800-900) and other days more (1000-1200), but I feel fine and am just trying to listen to my body.

Try The Simply Bar. It's the best thing I have found. http://www.thesimplybar.com/

Weighed myself today--my one month sleeve anniversary. Here are the results: Pre-op diet weight: 272 Day of surgery: 263 One month post-op: 246 Total loss to date: 26 pounds (or 17 pounds post-op) I am happy with these numbers as its a step in the right direction, but I also feel like I need to step it up in order to see more dramatic results. I am promising myself, in public, that I'm going to start exercising this weekend and make an effort to like exercising as I try to incorporate it into my life (bc I really hate it now). I feel the weight is coming off at a slow pace, but I am committed to getting healthy and look damn good! Any other May 14 sleeve buddies want to share your results/thoughts/feelings?

I put my fork down after every bit and chew before swallowing. Also, when I'm at work a d eating alone, I take my iPhone with me and play a game...so I take a bite, put fork down, pick up iPhone and play a minute or two of my game before taking another bite. Takes my mind off chewing per se and spaces out my bites perfectly. Good luck.

I just got!!!!!! So glad I posted.

Feeling better...thanks ladies!

Good luck! You will be fine!

I had surgery on 5/14 and am feeling great...except that my period is a week late. Does anyone know if this is related? Thanks!

I tried Sensa and wasted my money. I think I actually gained weight the month I used Sensa. I'm not even sure why they are allowed to market and sell that crap. Count your calories, set mini goals for yourself and allow your new tool (sleeve) help you along the way.
