  1. Awesome good luck on your surgery .
  2. I'm in the same boat too. It's been ten days no wight lost . But I'm gonna keep my head up and hopefully this will pass soon.
  3. I know how you feel . My clothes are lose ... not to much in the waist but my shirts are . I guess I will be putting on so more weight . Since I'm in the hospital tonight. They got me hooked up to the IV . Ugh ... I'm not in here for my weight loss . It's because of my MS . But I know how you feel about people wanting to tell you what to eat and they don't have a clue. I am glad you are doing good.
  4. I was losing the weight but for about ten days now I have not lost any . My weight is the same . I try not to get upset . I know a lot of people has said it is normal. But it is killing me .
  5. My surgery was June 2 . I also gain weight when in the hospital . I was losing weight until last week I stop . It is so frustrating . Especially when people ask you how much have you lost ? When you tell them them I haven't weighted in a couple of days . They just look at you like ( I know your going to fail at this ) , it makes me so mad . But after reading some of the comments . I feel better and I hope the weight will start coming off aging .
  6. Thank you . I feel like I should wait too . But didn't want to seem needy . My surgeon did say to wait at least till the fifth week . But my dad is going home . So I will just have to take it slow I guess.
  7. Thank you for responding . I have a 2 year old too . It is hard not picking them up . I will just have to take it slow .
  8. Hi I am 16 days post opt. Before I had the surgery my doctor told me not to pick up my baby ( he weights 30lbs) until my 6 week . He said 5 weeks at the earliest . Today I went to my 2 weeks appt. and my doctor is on vacation. So I had to see the nurse practitioner & she told me I would be fine picking him up. So now my dad who has been helping me with my kids is now going home . I'm still sore & scared. Has anyone else got the okay to pick up kids this earlier?
  9. Is anyone from south Alabama ? I'm 7 days post surgery . I had the gastric bypass .
  10. I have stop taking it . I go in the morning for my check up. Thanks to y'all for letting me know .
  11. My oldest two are 12 boy & 10 girl . They where very upset about me having to surgery . They where worried about me . And they wanted me to stay fluffy as they called it. Lol. They really didn't understand and now that I'm 5 days post surgery they still don't . I just had to explain to them that I need to feel better & be healthier for them . So I can do a lot more with them .
  12. I'm 5 days out . My doctor gave me liquid hydrocodone. And told me to take children's Motrin with it . He said that it would help with the pain . And it has help me . But I do know a lot of people say there doctor said not to take it. So I really don't know.
  13. Hi I had my surgery Monday on the 5th. Today is my fifth day. I'm still sore but not as bad . I can walk around my house some before it starts hurting. I also took children's Motrin along with my pain meds. It seem to help a lot . But ask you doctor if you can take it .
  14. I'm still sore . It hurts to breathe . Hopefully it will get better soon . Thanks for asking:)
  15. Thanks y'all ... Still sore . How is everybody doing with there surgery?
