When I get like that I need Iron are you getting enough protein,drinking
64oz of water

Yeah! Congratulations!

You've made it through the hard part. Keep up the good work.

YAY!! Glad to hear you are doing well...sip sip sip...walk walk walk...well that's what they tell me since I haven't gotten there yet! I'll be watching your progress!

Yes, Good Luck:) and you can do it! I use to have Sleep Apnea before I had my surgery. I had it bad too, it was so bad that I had to use a BY-PAP instead of a C-PAP machine, because when I had my sleep study I stopped breathing 92 times, but I'm so happy that I don't have that problem anymore. I had surgery 3 1/2 months ago and I'm done 95 lbs and I have no more Sleep Apnea, thank god. So the surgery has been a true blessing and it will be for you as well.

Good Luck!!! You can do this!! It's tough but it will all be worth it in the end. God Bless you<3

looking good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let us know what works for you!

Could it be your water intake? Maybe you need more or try 3-5 protein shakes a day until you start losing again. It helps to restart your metabolism. Some say try a day of eating as many calories as you can get in then the next day do the 3-5 shakes and at least 64 ounces of water. You should start losing again. I hope this helps.....
Jenipher!

Movie theatre popcorn is THE WORST!!! If you can sneak in a bag of your own airpopped stuff, that would help! Also, if your movie theatre has a yogen fruz, a small fro yo with some fruit topping would still satisfy your snack urge maybe?
Good luck and keep going!!

Don't think of it that way or you may cheat. Think of it as the beginning of you making the right choices for a healthy you! You dr won't know if you mess up once or twice. You will ! Don't cheat yourself of your new life. Good luck. We all know how very hard it is but everyone post op will tell you it's worth it. Hang in there

Don't worry - do the best you can. I think the pre-op diet is much harder than post-op - when you actually dont want to eat anymore

thanks for sharing the stats on movie theater popcorn - yikes! I will be sharing those lil tidbits of info with my mom, who cannot resist the alluring scent of popcorn that they pump through the lobby of the movie theater! Not so alluring when yoou think of how bad it is for you....
Seems like it was a major learning experience for you --- you're back on track already, and I applaud you for it. Onward!

Well it was totally the popcorn, all that sodium and your body is not used to it. Congratulations on your weight loss by the way. Good Job!!

Ha! They said from the picture! lol. Im soooo glad that your insurance didnt take you for the ride of your life as mine did. Thats super awesome!

Are you sure it's not your protein shakes?? That causes me bad breath *yikes*
I carry gum all the time lol

Good for you! I'm only 4 weeks out, so I can't eat that much variety yet. I can't wait until I can eat anything I want, but just in small amounts. Thanksgiving was pretty hard for me as I was only 3 weeks out and could only have soup while everyone else ate turkey and all the goodies that go along with it.
I'm hoping by Christmas I can eat more things, so can enjoy the holiday more.

Congrats! Your weight loss is awesome thanks for the update.

You can do it. Make a list of why you want the VSG. It would be helpful for you to keep with your goals. Congrats,

Ms. Goldy-- you are not a failure, only have not had the right tools to help you be healthy! "Diets" do not work because they are not a permanent thing. The surgery is permanent. You CAN blow it, but you can not go back to the place you were without hurting yourself. You should have the help of a crack nutritionist to guide you along the way and if you stay active on the boards, you have support. In your local area there should be support groups too. And we all LEARN to find our own health. You are not a failure, dear. Just have not found the right tools for you yet. See the positive.

Congrats. Glad you are well and in your room!!! Mine is tomorrow morning get some rest!!!

I am so sorry that yours was not easy and that you are still struggling. You and your family are in my prayers. Your God has not forsaken you-just testing. Remember that you will never be given more than you can handle. I know that when I am down, I really can't see the end point, but have hope. You are not alone out there and there are alot of us willing to help you any way we can. I don't know where you live, but I can sure help with cards if that would help you. Please, please, don't give up. Remember how much your family loves you and supports you in your journey to better health...and your child looks forward to romping with a thin, healthy mom. It may not be quite as soon as we hoped, but it will happen. Blessings to you

Lord, blessed be your name! Please restore this woman's health and strength. Let her rejoice in your wonderful provision. All glory and honor are yours, Father.

I wish so bad that you had an "easy" gastric sleeve too. It is crazy the number of issues that you have had since you had the surgery and through them all you have always maintained your calm and composure. It is okay to be mad - what is happening, it's not right, you have been dealt a number of unlucky cards. But what I see time and again is that you are strong. After that time that you need to mourn your previous life and all of the awful experiences, you will be able to get back up and move forward. And if you need help, or just someone to vent to, I'm here for you. If you wanna just yell and scream, you are welcome to send me the angriest message about it all - just get it out and get it off your chest.
And I'm so sorry about your husband's job. I'm glad to hear though that you at least have a little bit of time to get things situated with the severance pay.
((((((HUG))))) You are in my thoughts and prayers and I cannot wait until things turn around for you.

o_0 ... wow. I'm so sorry. The Holiday's are going to be rough on me this year as a single mom, but you got double and triple whammy's going on. You're in my thoughts and prayers!
