But I need help or advise... I was constipated for 3 days, and today I had 2 BM but the color is black! Some people say its blood, but I don't know... I had my surgery 5 weeks ago, and I have a good recovery...the last two days I had headache, but not today... Any advise? Thanks! Oh I began my Iron last week,,,?

I never have a vomit, thanks God! Yes, maybe its the Iron ... Thanks hun

I'm so happy !!!! Well, the whole process isn't easy but...its possible for everyone! I had my surgery on 9/18, I was alone in the hospital for 3 days, but I was ok! I think I have a good and decent recovery, I learned, and still do it, a lot in this forum, a lot.... Now, after almost 2 weeks stall, I continue losing pounds, slow...but I continue my journey, and my new life. No depresion, no anxiety and I really feel positive in my new healthy life! No more Metformin! I lost 19 pounds, maybe not too much as others, but I feel so good ! Any other stats for one month? HW 199 SW 176 Today 157

For me is a Red Flag, sorry....get a new surgeon, good luck!

Wow 28 that's great!!! I had a stall for almost 2 weeks grrrrr! But I increase a lil bit my food and now I'm loosing pounds...I'm walking everyday, and honestly, my Fit bit Flex helps me a lot! I don't have problems with any food yet, and I feel great too!!!! I'm so happy for you Bethzy, keep in touch!!!

The next day of surgery no Metformin (was 1,000mg daily)

Congratsssssssss!!

Hola gente! Mis disculpas por mi inactividad...les cuento que poco despues de crear el grupo, no sabia que mi seguro medico me habia aprobado mi cirugia en 1 dia!!! Wow, todo fue tan rapido, me dieron la fecha de cirugia super rapido, y fui operada el dia 18 de septiembre! Como les dije todo fue rapido, el dia de mi cirugia fui con mi esposo, pero antes de entrar a quirofano, se tuvo que ir por asuntos de trabajo, y estuve sola 3 dias en el hospital. No fue tan malo como pense, pude mantenerme tranquila, mi dolor al segundo dia se estabilizó, no morfina, solo medicinas y caminé muchoooooo, las enfermeras estaban sorprendidas conmigo! Al tercer dia regresé a mi casa con mi familia, practicamente sin dolor, caminando, siguiendo las instrucciones del dr., y ya mañana cumplo mis 4 semanas de operada. Como me ha ido? Pues creo que bien! Bueno, honestamente lo peor ha sido el hambre, si el hambre....desde el tercer o cuarto dia siento hambre, dolor por comer!! Muy dificil en las primeras etapas, mi nutricionista me recomendó comer cada tres horas, y de veras me ayuda. Estuve estancada con mi peso por 2 semanas!!!! Pero bueno ya salí de eso, subi un poco las calorias y voy bien, 18 libas desde el dia de mi cirugia! Mañana como les dije cumplo mis 4 semanas, y aunque no es color de rosa, me siento muy feliz y satisfecha de haberme operado!!! Cuenten sus experiencias, o preguntas!!! un abrazo

Saludos!!! Gracias por unirte! Como has seguido, como vas en tu proceso???

Yayyy! Good luck and keep in touch!!

Yes, I know it's frustrating, I was 2 weeks in a stall...then I started upping my calories, eat every 3 hours (hungry pains!) and the scale is moving now! So, you right, and be consistent! Good luck to us! lol

I'm slow loser too! Keep the good work!

Me too! I have Masshealth with Neighborhood and they approved me in one day...very fast and easy, my process was very fast in St.Elizabeth's Medical Center in Brighton, MA. Good luck to all!

Hi! I will be 4 weeks next Wed, my surgery was 9/18... 17 pounds off...I will weight me again next Wed! How are you feeling? Im doing good, no pain, no problems with the foods, just the hungry feeling, the worst! I need to eat every 3 hours!

I take 40mg protonix daily, and I don't have any acid pains..sometimes I think the vitamins makes me hungry...I don't know....I'm taking multi, B12, biotin and vit d. Next week I'll have to add calcium and iron.

Hi! My surgery was on 9/18 and I felt hungry maybe 4 days after...at today I'm hungry at least one hour after eat. My nut told me that I need to eat every 3 hours, and believe me that's help me a lot! Today, I don't know when I'm full when I eat, I just measure my food, follow the diet and trying to do the best for my self, you know, healthy choices! Walk and try to eat every 3 hours! Good luck! Oh I lost 16 pounds since surgery day.
