  1. Wow in 10 days ur down 43 lbs that's amazing. Makes me more bummed though cuz yesterday I was sleeved on 4/1 so I'm 2 wks post op n I've only lost 13lbs as of Saturday :-( Congrats!!!
  2. I'm weighing my self everyday now since sat n the scale doesn't seem to be moving I'm getting scared I'm doing something wrong
  3. I'm pretty disappointed right now I was sleeved on Monday 4/1 n on Saturday 4/6 I was 10 lbs down from the previous Saturday (I only weigh my self once a wk) and today 4/13 I was only 1.3 lbs down :-( ugh so disappointing. I introduced soft foods on Thursday (cleared by surgeon to start earlier than 2 wks) I'm wondering if I didn't lose pretty much anything either because I started soft foods or I'm PMSing really bad. Altogether with pre op I've lost 20lbs
  4. That's amazing!!! How much weight did u loose?? I'm 2 wks out n I think I've stalled :-( You look great!!! Congrats

    Surgery tomorrow

    Don't get discouraged cuz I did :-( I was sleeved on 4/1, yesterday I was 2 weeks out n I weighted myself on Saturday n I only have lost 13lbs since surgery I was so disappointed (not to mention I stared my period on Saturday so I was kinda emotional) lol but hopefully I will start seeing more weight drop as other peeps have lost 20+ on their first 2 wks my journey has not been so. I hope once I'm off my period I will notice the difference. Also I started soft foods on Thursday so I think that's part of my stall :-(

    Side Sleeper

    Yesterday I was 2 wks post op (surgery 4/1) n I've been sleeping on my stomach since the April 6. I was a bit scared at first but lil by lil I moved from side to stomach to see how much I can tolerate n finally I was after a few days I was able to do it. It's great sleeping on my stomach now
  8. I'm exactly 2 wks post op today. And I introduced soft foods beginning Thursday afternoon but I have been getting my 64 oz of water in since my first week. What I'm afraid is that I am able to down a little bit more than half the 16oz bottle of water with out feeling that pressure. Did my stomach stretch :-( I'm scared I'm taking in too much water but I love my water...
  9. That's pretty much what I'm doing that's why I was scared that I might be stretching the new stomach n not to mention I can tolerate a lil over half of a 16oz water with no problem
  10. Tuna and it was yummy yes I was done with the shakes n I still have a huge bag for those on the go days lol
  11. Old habits r hard to break lol but yes I try to stop myself when I remember. I try to keep in mind to sip sip sip sip. Thanks for replying I was getting concern why I can have so much water without bothersome
  12. Hi everyone... A lil concern on taking vitamins. I was sleeved on 4/1 and yesterday my surgeon gave me clearance to have soft foods. Everything was great up until today. This morning I had my "bariatric advantage multi vitamins chewables" and as I'm driving to my destination I had to pull over to throw up a lot :-( I composed n cleaned up myself because I had to be somewhere for a short period of time but once I got home to shower I've been feeling under the weather not sure why. I didn't eat prior to taking vitamins I didn't think it was necessary N I think I would have been more sick. What are u guys doing to take vitamins today was my first trial n I'm scared to try again
  13. I too was sleeved on 4/1 and last night I was up till 3 am couldn't sleep at all whatsoever :-( this afternoon I've been very tired but I have to finish up my laundry hoping to go to bed by 10:30 the latest as tmrw will be my first day back to work after surgery. Also last nite n tonight I took my Vitamins at nite because Friday I threw them up when I had them in the morning I hope the vitamins are not the ones keeping us awake... I need sleep tonite
  14. Well it makes me feel better I'm not the only one... Thanks for sharing
  15. I guess I just need to give it a lil more time... It's true my body is outta wack right now ugh just felt frustrated this morning. But thank u guys for the support n explanations. I joined this forum after post surgery n I guess I didn't do my full research prior to surgery. It all happened so fast for me my insurance approved it so quick and stressed out with getting my work caught up I never had enough time to completely research and read about other people's experiences. I'm soooo glad I found this site during my recovery time prior to going back to work on Monday :-)

    Vitamins

    I tried having my vitamins right before bed time n no nauseous feeling nor throwing up. I might just finish my BA brand n try some of the other stuff u guys have suggested. Anyway what's important is that we get all our vitamins right!!! Not the brands that make us sick so hopefully BA won't give me a hard time in canceling their automatic refill program I started with them...
