I had surgery March 5th 2013 so I'm 7 wks post-op. I still cant eat hardly ANYTHING with being sick to my stomach...and I'm barely getting down 6 cups of Water a day, forget Protein Shakes all of those were so nasty I can't even swallow them. I do take liquid vitamins and extra liquid Vitamin B 12. But am I ever going to eat semi normaly again....this is really getting in the way of my outside fun, gardening, 5 mile hikes, other outside activity. People are talking on here about working out at 3 weeks post-op...SERIOUSLY??! I can barely get up a flight of stairs!!!! should I got to my Dr. about this?

I'm home everyone! Came home on the 10th, Surgery was a success, and all week i have been tired. I just am trying to focus on getting my Water in. I've been sleeping so much and it's so hard to get the water in, but I've been up today, drinking my water and doing a lot of walking, so it's helping.

I'm having my sleeve tomorrow too. For those of you going through it too, good luck! I wish quick healing and no complications for each of you. It's going to be a great day for a reset of my life! See you all on the loser's bench!

Well, i didnt have surgery quite yet, but as of October 9th I sure will be...then ill be on the losers bench!!! cant wait!!

Hello to all.
I'm a late bloomer...My surgery was June 26 at Washington Hosp Center in Washington DC by Dr. Brebbia. He was very helpful and considerate and I felt comfortable with him, that was important to me. I started this journey in January this and weighed 289lbs, by the surgery date I was to 277 and as of Sept 6 I am 223 1/2lbs. I've lost 4 pants sizes (from size 50 to 46), lost 4 bra sizes & 1 cup size (from 50 DDD to 46 DD). I started my gym membership on yesterday and I feel good... and tired. I'm getting in my Protein (60-80 grams) each day.
My liquids - I do about 10 cups of Water and about 6 cups of (homemade, sweetened w/ splenda) Iced tea daily.

I've been going through this weight loss journey for years, and after seeing a few of my co-workers and the success they've had with it I decided to research it....boy oh boy did I get excited!! Now after 6 months of supervised dietitian visits and psychologist visits and a bunch of doctors visits I finally have my surgery date. I had to wait a month because I was taking birth control pills and they wanted me to stop taking them a month before surgery...no problem with me. I get my call today and my surgery is scheduled for October 16th, I am so excited and very ready to start being a happier healthier me!!!

How about going shooping for clothes and falling in love with a piece that they might not have in ur size or that u kno is not in ur size. Or how about running out of air while going up stair 2 or 3 floors. The looks people give u like if u not human or something. Having my relatives always reminding me how fat i am. Ive cryed over that.
