Thank everyone!! Feels good to hear i'm not the only one.

Thank you...I was jus doing so good the 1st 3 days had lost almost 7lbs ughhh i'm so disappointed in myself...but nothing i can do about it now...like i said i still have 9 days hopefully I can make up for it and atleast drop 10lbs. I'm seeing my dr on thursday for the last time before my surgery and I'm jus afraid if they weight me and it's not enough i'll be turned away and that's the last thing I want!!!
I def will never have another slim fast shake after these next 2 weeks either!!! Ughhhh thanks for the support!!

Awesome. You are an inspiration! Thank you for sharing.

I was singing the sung from little Rascals ' I got a pickle I got a pickle I got a pickle hey hey hey hey! I have also been craving them and I have not had one in a min. I want one with hot sauce! yum

Don't feel discouraged, you will lose, everyone losses at a different rate. Try switching things up a bit. Less carbs, more Protein. I find I loss more when I cut out my carb intake, no bread, Pasta, rice, potato's.. and eat more protein. Fish, Turkey, Turkey Chili, tuna, Egg whites.. You will do great, it will come off, don't stress..

Rest in peace Fred. Prayers to your family and to anyone you touched.

You know I asked my Dr just today about taking pills he didn't see any problems with it. I take a anti-depressant that's time released capsule and he said it would be fine. I guess every dr is different.

I too broke down day 2. I am almost 2 weeks out and feel its one step forward two steps back. I struggle with the things I need to have and feel like everything is against me. Sometimes I think my family doesn't think when they show up with fast food and I get a Protein Shake. At least once a day I question the choice I made. It's encouraging to hear I'm not alone and I'm looking forward to having you all for support.

We understand ... You can always come here
Positive encouragement is what got me thru the first 6 months
We will be that for you
This is not forever, stay strong ... It is hard but so worth it and you will be doing awesome in no time flat

It will
Remember this is temporary
This is not the rest of your life
Very temporary
Just get your Protein, fluids in and enjoy the weight loss
You will be past all this quicker than you realize
*hugs*

Haha just kidding! It's part of the ride, the first month I was crazy emotional about everything there were days that I just went back to bed and told my husband just wake me up when I can eat again!!
It does get easier though hang on

Your not crazy I did the same thing! I'm 3 weeks as of tomorrow & still have good days & bad! I just keep telling myself I'm down 31 pounds & keep running to my goal! U can do it .... Just remember why u did it in the first place! :-)

No, your not crazy! Your body is trying to heal itself, and causing your hormones to be out of balance. Many people go through this. I became very sensitive around two weeks, and wanted to cry over nothing. It will pass! I know, everyone says this, but it really does get easier. Hang in there..Hugs!

I jus started bawling...2mrw is week 2 n I new this would be hard but GOD I JUST WANT IT TO GET EASIER ALREADY!!!! It's like u hate this phase ur so limited to what u can eat u run out of ideas...maybe I jus needed to b***h but I could just scream (an of course cry at the drop of a dime) pls tell me I'm not crazy

I think it's normal too. I'm 4 weeks out but my PA said I won't feel 100 percent normal until 6 weeks out. Things that used to be routine are very tiring even now (big shopping trip, entertaining, etc.). Just trying to pace myself, along with keeping very busy at work. Try to break things up as much as possible. I had a couple days last week, when I may have been having GB issues, where I would work 1 hour, sleep 1 hour--etc. Didn't expect that 3 weeks out, but wanted to listen to my body.

When I was going through this, I talked to my NUT. She said it was due to lack of carbs and needed to get more in. I was pureeing Soups, so I added more veggies (corn, onions, green beans) to them. chicken veggie and ham/lentil were some of my favorites.
It worked for me. My energy levels came back within a day or two.
Give it a try and see if it works for you.

I'm 3 weeks out and fatigue quickly although its getting better.

I had my sleeve done in the 20th an no matter what I drink or sip in my stomach cramps up pls tell me this is going to get better???? Ugh

Wow! You're looking gorgeous!

its normal... it will pass... just make sure u drink sips of Water all day and get Protein as much as you can ..That will help speed up your recovery..and walk as much as you can handle that help as well.. Hope this answers your question.. im 6 weeks post op so i know how you feel : )
