Here is my 6 week post op stats: sw:313 cw:264

Just got discharged from the hospital. I go to my surgeons hospital tomorrow to get a scope done to see where I am bleeding from. I am staying overnight there too. Hopefully it's all decent news and if not I'll be in the place that can fix it.

I'm back in the hospital tonight and waiting to hear back from my ct scan.

I was in the hospital yesterday and they found out that I have a stricture. I go in tomorrow for a scope and dilation to see if that will help me. I am so nervous. I am back on a clear liquid diet until I have this done. I just wanna eat without throwing up. They are also going to see why I have been vomiting blood.

It's probably due to one of the instruments being moved in your tummy

Coming up on 6 weeks post op and down almost 50 pounds and down 2 pant sizes! Is this for real!?

I'm thinking about getting mine tattooed on me. Just to remind myself.

You take longer to heal from the inside than from the outside. Just think of your pouch like a baby. You wouldn't feed certain things to a baby. Good luck and you can do this!

Congrats on the weight loss! I need to find a new hobby to keep me busy too. Working out is my new hobby. It helps me get my Water in! I drink 24 oz while there! And I'm cleared to do weights as well as run!

they are wonderful! Full of protein!

I have tried the tilapia and it doesn't sit right. Another shopping trip for me today. Yay!

1 month checkup was today and I got cleared for solid foods but I am scared to try them. I want to eat but I don't wanna throw up. What is everyone eating right now?

4 weeks post op and down 40 pounds! I cannot believe it. I am down a pant size and down a bra size too. Mushy foods suck and guacamole has too many spices for me to tolerate.

I have the Nexplanon and love it!!!!

I got mine at vitamin.com, it was cheaper.

Syntax nectar in fuzzy navel has been my lifesaver! No protein taste and it's like a juice! I am so happy that I found it!

Mine is tomorrow is a new day. It helps me to remember that I am not a failure. And that I am human and do make mistakes and that tomorrow I can start all over again.

I week post op I was down 23 pounds. My total is now 35 pounds. I am almost 4 weeks out. I go to the gym and walk for an hour a day.

8 am up and drinking first Protein shake with Vitamins 9 am 24 oz of Water and in my way to the gym 11 am sf Popsicle 24 oz of water 1pm lunch of blended chicken salad about 3 tsb 4 pm snack of sf Jello. About 1/4 cup 16 oz water 6:30 dinner light and fit Greek yogurt about 1/8 cup 8 pm protein shake with vitamins I am 3 weeks post op and slowly introducing mushy foods

I haven't seen the bacon bowls. I'm surprised I haven't because I usually don't sleep in and there's nothing on tv at 4 am other than infomercials. Lol. I see my nutritionist on Monday. I've only lost a few pounds these past 2 weeks but I have noticed the inches coming off. I can feel my forearm bone now. I can also wear the small bracelet for my fitbit flex. Yay! It made me feel good when I realized that today. I thought about selling the small bracelet on eBay when I first bought it because I thought I would never wear it. Good luck with your appointment Thursday! : ) I am down 34 pounds. I have a NSV!!! I am wearing my hubbys shorts! He is a stick and they are absolutely comfortable! I am so surprised that I am doing so well.

Has anyone saw the infomercial for bacon bowls? I was wondering I it worked with turkey bacon. Pack it with lettuce and tomato and have a blt without the bread or guilt. I cannot wait to start introduce solids back in and change it for the better. I also have my first appointment Thursday and I am very excited. Never thought that I would e excited to go see someone that is going I tell me what I can an cannot eat. How is everyone doing! How is the weight loss?!

Girl I will be here for you! There is so much support here and it makes me thankful for the friends that I have made.

My surgeon is 3 hours away and I am going to make an effort to find some friends. I do have support but it's just hard without having anybody here with me.

Woohoo!

Sorry to hear you are going through this alone. Can some of your family come to you? It has to be tough going through this while your husband is deployed. It's stressful enough with the deployment. Will he be home soon? Have you checked on the forum to see if there are people here that may be close to you? Or maybe a support group for military wives? I can't imagine what you are going through. My husband was deployed for 9 months a few years ago and it took some getting use to. Take care of yourself and come in here and vent all you want. We will listen. : ) He can't tell me when he gets to come home. It's soon though. My family is planning on coming out in a few weeks but I am going crazy. I am using him as my motivation. He is the reason why I want to get healthy
