72 lbs is great!! When was your surgery? Mine was 11/28/11. I am in a stuck plateau situation also. I was down 72 lbs but with my son in high school sports I had a few months that I found no time to exercise.
So now I have my 1 year check up in a few months I also am going to really pump the exercise up and write down every morsel I take in!!!
My situation is even more pressure. I work for my surgeon so he see's me everyday!!!
Would love to talk to you if you need some daily support. I know it is hard!!
Keep your chin up and I agree more exercise, less carbs!! Are you getting in your 80-100 grams of Protein?

Urr, so frustrating, just want to know if I am alone. Had labs drawn including LFTs everything is great, did a check of the stool for C-Diff. clear!!!
HELP!!!

It is so nice to hear that someday we can eat a salad. I too loved having a salad. Right now I can only take in 2 tsp of food at a time. I just keep saying we are only out 1 month. Hopefully it will get easier as time goes by.

I have had mine colored every 4 weeks since my surgery, as a matter of fact my hairdresser could not believe how well my hair is doing. I am 13 weeks post op.

Lola, you are not alone. I was sleeved 11/28/11 I thought that for a while too, (why did I do this) and my boss did my surgery. I had troubles with the dizziness, nauseous, some vomiting, and diarrhea (that I still have). But I am trying to eat every couple of hours and now I am able to tell when the stomach is full. I am still struggling so bad with reflux, we are trying a new med now. So will see how that works out.
I was off work for 2 weeks, it was tiring but I made it thru going back, being back with the people I work with was the best because they support me.
You to will get better, take each day at a time. Get thru that one and go to the next.
I definitely agree some nausea meds helps tremondously. So get that. Your surgeon will order labs if they are worried. I had my labs drawn because of the diarrhea and I do not get all my Protein in either. But everything is perfect.
Just want you to know you are not alone. Hang in there.

I also have been doing the G2 Gatorade. My stomach is gurgling non stop, even sipping all day. URRR!!
