Hi I am 4 months out and I had a wonderful recovery. I didn't need pain meds when I got home. I had no nausea or vomiting.. I made sure I walked right away and rested when I needed to. At first it is hard to sleep on your side or stomach .. but When I finally was able to sleep on my side what I found out that helped me was put a pillow between my legs and use a smaller(thinner) pillow to support my stomach. Ask them to show you how to get out of bed. They showed me and it helped out alot.... Good luck and ill save you a seat on the losers bench ....

I basically eat the same things, Protein shakes, yogurt, almonds and Protein Bar for Breakfast and am Snacks, for lunch and dinner ckn (salad) , tuna (salad) , fish, ribs and hamburger meat. I hardly eat fiber.. I only have room for 2-3 oz of protein ..and when I need fiber I add chia or flax seed to my shakes. Thank you for your help...

Good morning ... I was in a bad rut...since on my vacation I did a lot of walking but have not ran for more than a wk. I was getting depressed because I couldn't get motivated to get out there and run. This morning I am dressed and heading out the door. Thank you all for your support. Merry Christmas....

Hi.. I want to increase my mileage to 4-5 miles by ST Patricks.. my time has improved on each 5 k that I have done. . I have done 3 5 ks. I have 3 more payed for end of Dec, end of Jan and mid Feb. I like the feeling that running gives me.... I will start bike riding this weekend. Great job everyone....

Wow what an awesome christmeas gift. Your are doing fantastic. Contine your awesome wgt loss this will help each and everyone to be inspired to continue with the WL journey.

Same here try to add resistance and sculpting exercises. Increase my miles on running doing 3.2 want to add 1 more mile by 2/14

I stalled as soon as I started full liquids 2 wks after surgery. You might increase protein, or your exercise... I was losing inches at the time of my stall... Stalks do indeed happen at any given time . You might want to search here on the forum under stalls.

Hi, what really helps is logging your food and exercise. We use My fitness pal on our phones. It's a free app. My handle is alliecat1095.. I would recommend you take your measurements weekly because once you have a stall it helps to know you are losing inches.

Good luck and take it one day at a time.

Good luck each and everyone of you. It is a very exciting experience.. I had my surgery on 8/29/12. It is rough the first couple of days but remember sip, sip, sip and walk, walk, walk.... First couple of days you might not get to much fluids into your tummy. IT is swollen, irritated and very sore... Don't try and rush into the next stage of your post-op. take it one day at a time..

I was out of the office 3 wks , I was granted permission to work from home. . Some ppl I have read only take 3-4 days.. Everyone is different. It does help to take at least a week or two to help get yourself situated with your new way of eating and exercising. My energy level was definitely very low in the afternoon. Good luck....

12/20 HW 243 5'1" 8/29 SW 213 LW 173.8 CW 170.2 I belief vacation was good for me. As I lost 3.6 lbs and that is the most I have lost in a weeks time in months... I've meet my Christmas goal twice. I am happy with my results... For my birthday 2/12 I want to be at 155lbs,,,
