Thank you for shareing that with us. You are doing great.

I do understand how you feel. I am 3 months post op, and I have only lost 35 pounds. I do exercise 5 x a week. I guess Im just going to take it off slow. As long as I keep loseing Im not going to worrry about it.

you look great keep up the good work

nice job

I am told that it is our bodys trying to get caught up with its self. I do understand how you feel. Once I started to go work out at the gym. I have not lost any weight. And this has been for 4 weeks now. I am 7 weeks post op. Just hang in there it will get better.

Im told its normal. I have the same thing going on with me. I started on solid foods at 3weeks.I know I was not suppose to but I was hungry. I mainly just added meat soft meats. And nothing seems to bother me. I gained 1 lb , and now i have been at a stall since then. And I am 8 weeks post op.

Any suggestion on how to overcome this head hunger? And will I have to deal with this forever. Or is this just part of the journey?

my insurance paid for mine

Thank you everyone for your comments. I am going to try to slow down and start to weigh my food. I think this will help.

I went for my 6 week check up. And my doctor said that I need to stop eating before I get the feeling that I am full cant go any futher. He said to just stop before I get to that point. I have no idea how I am going to do that. Because I will be eating and all of a sudden It will just hit me. And I will feel stuffed. Any suggestions would be great. Dr said I will end up stretching my stomach if I dont stop this.

sounds good thanks for the ideas.

I am 7 weeks post op and i have been eating just about what ever I want to since week 4. That is healty stuff. But it seems that I am hungry like every 2 to 3 hours. I feel like im eating all the time now. I cant eat large amounts like before my surgery. And suggestions on what I may need to do.

I was told chewable form for at least the first 8 weeks

actually this is the website that I bought mine from http://www.procarenow.com/

My nut said that there is a bariatric chewable that you take one a day. Its called ProCare. Its not to bad, its only one a day. http://www.amazon.com/ProCare-Health-Bariatric-One-A-Day-Multivitamin/dp/B007HB8EDK

I am 5 weeks post op. And no I dont have headaches or nausea. The pre op diet is hard, however after day 3 it gets better. Hang in there it is worth it in the long run.

I have a card but I dont go to buffet's. I have used it to order off the childs menu. I feel weird using it, I dont want to tell complete strangers that I have had this surgery.

I took 3 weeks and I really wanted to be off longer but the Dr said no. I work in a office so it is not hard work. I just wanted more time to focus on myself.

oh yes i need a gel cushion . I think i will take the one off my husbands bike that he dont ever use...

I took a group class at my gym today on the spin bike. My first time to use one and I liked it. I have never like to exercise....

I am 5 weeks out I had my surgery on July 11th. And for the last 2 1/2 weeks I have not lost any weight. I am going to for sure get back on my protein drinks, and start getting in more water.

wow you do look great. Can you tell me do you still drink protein shakes. I am 5weeks post op. I eat what ever i want . Of cource it has to be heatly. I get prettty close to 60gms of protein in. I have been slacking on the water. But I have been at a stall for 2 weeks. I was wondering if maybe I nn to drink the protein shakes again.

I had my surgery on July 11th and I feel fine. I dont have any problem with eating anything.

what is your favorite protein bar

Thank You I need to hear this
