Feeling bad. I'm 4 and a half months out and I've lost only about 56 pounds. Several year prior I had the band lost 120 pounds. But four years later I had to take it out because I had hernia. Soon after my weight began creeping up then I got pregnant. 312 post gastric sleeve four plus months I'm down 56 pounds. I feel like unsuccessful and that my weight losd is on a slow progression:(

Had my gs at Saint Raphs with Dr. Mcmillan. She was awesome

Omg. I just did the same thing. Dont fill guilty but I'm not buying anymore cc ause itc went down wayy too eady

Ten weeks out.down 40 pounds. Just started eatin without throwing up a week ago

Started taking a liquid multi vitamin. My one a days have become unmanagable. I also tae d3, b12 sublingual. Was taking bioton pill may have to go liquid on that too.

7 weeks out and pretty much can eat mostly anything soft. I had a bad day. One I realized I could eat chips I kinda lost it this weekend. I ate chicken tacos for lunch 1 and 2 more for dinner. They were smaller than usual but the fact that I could eat them kinda scared me. Trying 2 get the water intake in can sometimes bea challenge

That awesome. I was sleeved on 4/4 down 36 pounds thus far. I need to start excercising to tighten up

CT sleever. I was sleeved at St Raphs in New Haven. Ursulla McMilliam is a wonderful surgeon.

4 weeks and two days out not a good eat day been nauseous and throwing up most of the day. Started when I ate watermelon. Tried to eat through out the day. Jus made made me sicker. Not a happy camper today

Thanks. I want to eat salad but I won't. At tis point I hate prtein drinks and won't drink them that much maybe a couple times a week. Eating chobanie a banana and a tiny meal at this point

Wow. Sorry for your loss.

Hey Laura I'm a month out and had severa incidents where I threw up bc I either gasped too much air while drinking or I wasn't ready for a certain food. Some weeks are better than others. What was your experience a month out. Sometimes I get frustrated. Vitamins. Sometimes its hard to get the pills down. Taking one aday, biotin and D3

Hi I think you have gone to the next level and graduate to this new stage of progession. I too felt just the same as you. Is been a month and one day since I had surgery and I am still learning at each stage of this lifestyle change.

Get some biotin asap.

No I am not sure she is on maternity leave but I was told by staff in the office she will be at Mercy not sure when though

If you get to meet her tell her Lisa G recommended her to you. Sleeved on 4/4/13.

Ursilla McMillan just left Saint Raphael's and moved to Springfield Mass. She will be working out of Mercy Hospital. She is awesome! Fixed my hernia when I had lapband. Just did my sleeve before she left. Accomplished, highly educated in her field, down to earth and easy to talk to. If you look her up you wll see for yourself. I worked at the hospital she used to work at for ten years. Doctors and nurses alike always sung her praises as well as the patients..

You can take only a multivitamin I believe

Congrats to you! This week I am 4 weeks out and have just began to feel better, not afraid to try to eat soft foods. Still throw up maybe once or twice a week but getting better. Hopefully, the vomitting with time. Went from 312 to 277 thus far.

Recovery isn't easy either but over time it does get better

As harsh as she put it I have to agree but she coulda said it a little more tactful.

I felt the same way

Thanks will do!

I only told my immediate family and one or two close friends. Noone really needs to know. Once they find out you will hear oh why didn't you tell me I could have helped you out.. well now you know and now is when I need you. See how many really comearund. Sometimes people thrive off of wasteful information. I can see if you told someon you are close with like your family or even a close friend who may be considering the same but again don't give people further conversation to talk about ya. They talk about you when your fat to your face orbehind your back supposedly out of concern or to make themselves feel better then when yu loose the weight they will do the same stating how hin you are and that you look sick. Trust, been there done this twice over that's why I've chosen to remain quiet.

Thanks for this info. Need to make sure I get enough biotin
