I am doing the same thing also. i am 4 1/2 weeks post-op and I stalled at week 2 and since I have only lost a couple of pounds. I am losing inches and dropping clothing sizes. I have went from 3x in shirt to xl in shirt from 22/24 to 14/16 in pants. Hang in there. That is what I am having to do. I know it is frustrating as can be though.

Gas X strips help. walking helps more.

I was the same way now things seem to be getting back to normal also.

I have bsbstx and my dr submitted everything for me. He subbmitted mine under health reasons and it was approved. I am 5'5 and was only 240. But had sugar problems.

I had my surgery Oct 8. My sugar was 301 the morning of surgery. I was using insulin 4 times day. Now my sugar runs 77-105 no insulin. I have energy to burn. I usually have to rest about 30 or 45 min a day now just so I don't tire in the evenings

Walmart, and kroger sale it also. It is very good.

I ordered today the samples from BJ"S Bariatric http://www.bjsbariatrics.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=bjb&Product_Code=synSamplePack&Category_Code=syn He shipped mine today within a few hours of ordering, even sent me a tracking number.Total with shipping was 19.35 for 14 sample packages

Could my hormone injections cause my weight loss stall ? I am 4 weeks post op. I have read about the 3 week stall. I had surgery on Oct. 8 and I took my injection on Oct. 23 and have been stalled since then. I have lost about 20 pounds, but scales has not moved since injection. Very frustrated.

Could anyone share their favorite flavors of this protein ? I cannot tolerate the regular protein drinks they are to milky and make me sick at stomach. Dr says stomach may not be ready for them.

The day of my surgery my blood sugar was 301. It ran those high numbers all the time. Now it runs any where from 77-100

Do you have the link ? I can't find it.

I was told NO NSAIDS use Tylenol Liquid

Anyone have the facebook link for october sleevers ? I would love to join, but I cant find it. I was sleeved Oct 8

I don't regret mine at all. Yes the weight ain't going fast enough for me. Yes you only eat a few bites. I do hate the constipation I have to use colace and miralax on regular basis. My blood sugar went from 301 to 77- 100. I have lost about 26 pounds. I am 4 weeks tomorrow post-op. I have more energy than I ever dreamed. I actually walked 2 1/4 miles yesterday. I have dropped several inches also.

You will go through stalls. If you search on here it will tell you about them. I am almost 4 weeks out and I have hit one in last 2 1/2 weeks I only lost 2 pounds.

I am the same way except for the pain, I started belching alot and then I know I have eat enough which isnt but a few bites.

I am in. Pre-Surgery weight - 240 - Oct. 8 Post- Surgery weight - 210 Nov 1 Goal- 175 - Jan 1

I don't have hot flashes, I guess cause I take hormone shot monthly. I defiantly have them cold flashes mine started about 2 am in the morning right after I came home from surgery. My hubby put flannel sheets on bed for me and then had to put the electric blanket on bed for me. I keep a blanket by my recliner also. My family never thought they would hear me say I am cold. I also wear hoodies and long sleeve t-shirts alot.

I had mine the same day. I have lost about 26 pounds. I can eat just about what I want, but only a few bites.

The gas pains will get better. Gas Strips help some. I am 3 weeks post-op I have a little but only when I eat or drink.

I take one gummie fiber everyday, colace everyday and I still have to use miralax every other day. If not my stomach tighens up and hurts like hell. I had trouble before surgery, but now it is alot worse. I do what I have to do cause I dont like the swelling and hurting in the stomach.

I had and still have the same problem. First it was 2 am faithfully then it was 4 am now it is between 4 and 5 am I rest about 45 min during day and I take ambien and I still have this problem.
