11.28.12 - 90 pounds gone!

That's a photo from 2008 and this was me on Friday. I am around 280 pounds at 6'0 tall - not sure how low I'm going but I'd like to get to around 220 and then address the extra skin. I feel great, and for the first time in a very long time I feel like I look great! Just thought I'd share!

November 28 - dropped 76 pounds! Start 374 Current 298

I went at 1.5 weeks out - was fine

I think if you are sleeved in April, first part of may, you should be good!

I'm 14 weeks out. I went back to work at 2 weeks, but it was probably 8-9 weeks before I had the hang of eating, etc. I still occasionally get Dizzy from time to time.

I got nothing, except, if your multi had b-12?in it, then take your b-12 supplement seperate. Your body can only absorb so much at once and if you go way over its basically a wasted supplement. I do my multi in the am and my b-12 in the evenings.

Down 65 pounds at 12 weeks post op

I recently just went thru an 11 day bout of this. The hierarchy my doc suggested was the following. Do each as needed. So if 1. Didn't work, move to 2, etc. 1. One dose of milk of magnesia 2. Add miralax up to twice a day 3. Fleets enema with the miralax 4. Magnesium citrate, followed by 8 oz Water with the miralax. I also tried suppositories, fruit juice, prunes, Probiotics, flax. After I finally went, I'm taking chia seeds and miralax Dailey to try and prevent it from happening again.

Sorry you are so sick. I felt nauseous a good bit too - ritz crackers and tea were my life. It will get better! Good luck!

I teach preschool aNd was back At 1.5 weeks out.

Estrogen is stored in our fat cells. Rapid weight loss releases estrogen and thus the irregular periods.

Be careful with the zofran - it stops things coming up, and going out, if you know what I mean!

I had that around three weeks. It's much better now, at 8 weeks. Weeks 3-6 were pretty rough, with the nausea and lack of appetite. Hang in there !

See, granted I'm only 8 weeks out so I'm hoping it gets better, but I basically have no appetite now and eat because I have too. Not necessarily a bad thing, but to me a meal is not enjoyable. I'm hoping its just the stage I'm in at this point. Figuring out how much and how slow to eat is also tricky for me.
