I would like to join this thread. I need encouragement. Surgery 11/20 and I'm down 23 lbs was down 25lbs until Christmas Day. Don't feel well due to eating foods I never would have touched! So today it's about ten am and I'm afraid to put anything in my mouth. Not sure where to start so as not to gain anymore. I welcome any ideas. Also since im off work I have no where to exercise. I would run the stairs each day. Return to work on the 3 rd of January . I would love to hear what to do to jump start my diet today. Also is anyone from Houston Conroe area? Would like to have a partner to exchange ideas and work with on our way down.

I've always heard that when your at a stall you need to change up what your doing and attempt to speed up your metabolism by exercising more and perhaps something different ride or treadmill , different foods if your sticking with the same thing

Thank you that is great info and easy to go by.

I am three weeks out and I'm having a hard time reading the full signal also. I thought that would be stronger. I haven't gotten sick or overeating in a meal but I feel the need to always look for something to eat as if I'm hungry. I know old habits are hard to break and I need to break some. Still exhausted too

Pray for me tomorrow I hope I can make it up the steps into my office. It's quite a hike two flights stairs and about a quarter of a mile to my office. First day back to work I'm praying I'll give into this weakness I feel. Any ideas what I should pack for lunch?

Does anyone know when we can hit the gym don't worry I'm not there yet just wondered?

I saw my surgeon first thing this morning he said I was doing really great and also told me I should start on Soups with chunks in its when I got home is when I all of a sudden have the blue lips I don't feel bad I feel fine I'm not out of air and i breathe well I check my blood pressure my fevers were last week not today not recent like last day or two I only vacuumed the one bedroom very carefully very slowly just to get the hair out of the house and I thought it would be just as easy as going for a walk actually was easier than I thought but your right I should of thought harder about that. I guess waking up and finding out that my doctor wants me to lose 80 pounds in six months kind of made me feel like I needed to put a rush on this. Plus I'm so worried about getting around school tomorrow because I cannot have a day off. It is a new job and I'm only been there two months so I have no time off and I don't want to look too bad because this was cosmetic. Bad planning on my part I appreciate all of your device I hope you'll continue give me more you're pretty intelligent I'm impressed thank you my lips right now are just ashy looking hopefully the blueness is going to go away soon

I need advice I 6 days post op and had a check up today. Dr seemed really pleased especially because it was one of his hardest surgeries due to all of my scar tissue that was all entrenched in my lapband and everywhere else. I stayed in hospital 3 days but since I got home I've been freezing blue lips all of a sudden and I feel so weak! Tomorrow I must go back to work. I work at a high school and I'm fearful that I won't do well because of the weakness I'm feeling. I just took a walk and I'm taking my Vitamins what else can I do? I lost 11 lbs too

Leaving for a walk right now. Feel so much better today. A little weak and tired took my meds drank a slim fast ate a bite of pumpkin pie drank two bottles Water and a bite chewed well of turkey and ham with no issues. Getting on up and liking jt
