Congrats. ..we are almost identical. 6.25.13 surgery date 265 today 226.4 The ups and downs can drive you crazy but it's definitely worth it. I saw some parents at a fball game on Sat that were like you've lost weight and you look really good. What an awesome feeling soooo worth it...

Yes very common. My doc prescribed Protonix. He said it will likely improve and it has started getting better. I'm starting to take as needed as oppose to every. Im almost 12 wks post op

June 25th down 33.6. I don't have alot of cravings. But usually if I want something I'll have it because after 2 or 3 fork fulls I done anyway. Last weekend I really wanted a cheese steak. I got it, gave hubby half ,I ate about 4 forks of the meat and cheese no roll and I was full. Took 2 days to eat half of the sandwich w/o the roll

I can't lie the whole box is still in my room. I just couldn't do it. I just made sure I got up walked hourly to prevent blood clots. Just call me chicken.

My doctor orders for everybody. The shots were delivered 3wks before I was even approved. They started them in the hospital the morning of surgery. One shot per day for 20 days

I have been stuck at 17lbs lost since July 5th. I'm sure its partly because of lack of Protein and Water. How are you making out with that?? I just want to start losing consistently.

30 lbs wow that's awesome!!!!! Is that all post-op or did you lose some before surgery? I live in Sicklerville/Erial near Camden County College. My surgeon is Dr. Salcone "Lady of Lourdes" in Camden.

Is there a Vitaminshoppe near you they sell bottles for $4.19 each...I bought fruit punch and grape frost the other day. Punch was ok I kept trying to sip it. Have not opened the other one yet

I hope he's right because this stage is the pits!!

I had glue also. About day 8 I was able to start peeling the glue off. Only pull loose glue off otherwise you may pull skin

Same here sleeved on June 25, lost 17 lbs in 10 days nothing in last 5days can't wait for the stall to end.
