I am 6 months out and 60lbs down. I started having the same issue this week. Same place right side under rib cage. I mine hurts mostly when I am laying down. I have not called the doctor yet but plan to this week. Eager to hear from anyone else what it may be.

I have been on a 3-5lb back and forth for 5 weeks. All my fault because I have been eating without accountability and not getting in what I need. Today is my day to buckle back down. U have lost 60lb since 2/4 but have another 40 to go to meet my goal.

7 weeks out and down 35lbs! I hit under 200 today! Never has 199 looked so good! I had a stall for a few weeks and was frustrated but once I increased my calories to 700-800 it really helped! My size 18 are baggy and my employees are asking often how much more have I lost. They notice weekly but I'm still having a hard time seeing it. I still see the 236 I use to be. Ready to notice the change.

Hi I had surgery 3/4. Since surgery I have been tracking everything MYFITNESSPAL app. I love it and would like to have friends in there I could get ideas from. Once you friend someone you can see what they have eaten that day. I have started to add solid foods back slowly. Eggs, canned tuna, Grilled fish and over cooked veggies came first now adding grilled chicken, less cooked veggies etc. I could use some ideas on whats next and would love to have some of you as friends there to see what everyone else is doing. Tlhendley is my user name if anyone else is using it lets connect!

Ok -had surgery 2/4 lost 11lb first week, 11lbs second week and 2lbs week three. Little disappointed about last weeks loss! I am on mushy foods, getting at least 60gm protein da(shakes mostly ) 50-60oz fluids. I have not started walking yet (cold and wet ) but plan to in 2 weeks. Any suggestions?

1st Grade- NOW I have been overweight since 1st grade. I don't mean huge obese but Overweight all the same or as I vividly remember being called Husky, Fat, Pudgy, so on. I remember having to buy boy’s size husky because they didn’t make girls size jeans to fit and the misses sizes were way to long. I remember in 5th grade wearing my mother's clothes to school (5th grade!). I recall eating butter out of the empty refrigerator and I would wait until no one was looking and take extra and eat it outside or in my closet. I ate as an escape and for comfort. When I played youth softball I was always #12 because it was always the XL jersey. I always wished for #1 the small. In 5th 6th 7th 8th 9th, 10th grade I wanted to be the cute girl that the boys liked. By the time high school rolled around I started looking for ways to be popular because slim pretty girl was not going to do it for me. I started playing BALL. Basketball, Volleyball, Softball, Shot-put and discus in track. And it worked! By the time summer came before 11th grade I have played my way into a slimmer me. NOT skinny mind you but not chubby either. I spent that summer running for exercise every night. Senior year was great but because I stopped the EXTRA exercise (running) I added a few pounds and this is where the real dieting started. When I was in high school you couldn't just run to a doctor for diet pills sooooooo a friend’s college brother sold "yellow jackets" and I bought some. I guess you could say I was skinny for a year or so. Then of course the college freshman 15-20lbs and for my college years I would say chubby was back. Size 12/14 and I stayed there until 23-24yrs old. By the time I married I was size 16. (I never owned a scale so I have no idea what I weighted) Let me tell you shopping for a wedding dress size 16 in the late 90's was NO fun. And it began. I dieted on and off for the next few years until my first pregnancy. I began it as a size 18 and gained 60lbs. 5 months after having my first I was pregnant again (yes I know how it happens ) I gained 20 pounds with the second pregnancy. For the next 5 years I tried everything. Atkins, Weightwatchers, Soup diet, diet patches, herbal pills, over the counter pills and stayed between size 18-22. Baby #3 and my weight was 250 right after delivering and then 236 around a year after and I decided I needed to consider a major change so in 2007 I looked into WLS surgery. Instead I decided to tray a diet doctor - Metabolic Weightloss. 8 months and I lost 55lbs and was at 178lb my lowest in years. I felt GREAT. but it was a diet. Slowly over the next 5 years I have added EVERY pound back. AND again find myself looking into WLS. Of course my insurance will not cover it so I need to decide what to do. DESISION MADE! 239lbs and I am scheduled for Sleeve Surgery Tijuana Mexico I understand the life change but I am ready. Truly ready!

I am on the 2 week Pre Diet and doing 2 shakes and 1 meal a day. Honestly I am doing better than I thought I would. My only real cheat is that my dinner is low carb but not a salad. I am mostly meat and cheese. I already feel a little better!! I found an oatmeal that has helped and i can also eat Post during mushy stage. It has been a lifesaver from just shakes. 100 cal 14g protein 1g fat and 8 carbs. Profast apple and cinnamon the taste is pretty good. What products have others found we should know about.

Sorry you can get it on eBay.

I got it at a diet doctor metabolic medical centers but you can buy if from meat as well.
