I'm 4 months out now' date=' and I know I can start to introduce everything again (and I have been). The one thing I haven't tried are the breads and pastas. I've been afraid. One, I'm afraid of craving them again like I used to, and two...well, you hear horror stories about it getting stuck and everything.

When did you try to eat breads? And how was it for you?

I've done crackers, matzo, and corn tortillas...[/quote']

If i eat breads its whole wheat but i try to avoid them

Hi! I was approved for the surgery! So I guess I will have the surgery within the next 2 months! But I am afraid of the excess skin! I'm African American and was told by WLS African Americans patients our skin bounce back more! Is this true? Also' date=' if my skin does not "bounce back" so to speak what kind if post surgery am I looking at? Breast lifts? Tummy Tuck? Arms and thighs???!!! I have a goal to loose 160lbs!!![/quote']

Ive lost 74 lbs so far my skin isnt excess i just tone and work out i have a 95lb goal...to make my tummy completely flat id need a tummy tuck but i havent had kids yet so imma wait til after

To be honest I am not meeting my Protein goals. Not even close. Maybe at around 30-40 grams a day. But the weight is coming off slow' date=' like 1-2 pounds a week, so I just try to eat healthy and don't worry about the Protein lacking. Am I hurting myself? Would the weight lost be faster? I'm scared to eat more! Why do we need so much protein? Would love your advice, explanation, personal experiences. Thanks [/quote']

Try primier Protein shakes those are 30g in 11.5oz

You've lost 35 pounds at 7 weeks post-op? Or was some of that pre-op. That is at least average and actually above average. Keep the faith--if you stay at 5 lbs a week or even 2 or 3' date=' it will go more quickly than you think...probably faster than it took you to put it on. Congratulations...that is great progress![/quote']

I was 325 the day i left the hospital and thank you...i feel like im doing something wrong but imma keep up my workouts n 5 mini meals a day

My starting weight was 325.....on monday ill be 7wks post op n im currently 290.....my doc gave me a 235 goal for my 6'0 frame....i feel like its close but oh so far away....

I had my surgery on May 15th. I'm currently 16 days (3 weeks) out. I lost a total of 18 pounds so far. I only had to do a one day fast before surgery.

I was wondering if anybody have any issues swallowing medication that are pills after surgery. I am pre-op and I struggle as it is with pill especially the big Vitamins and I was wondering will this get worst after surgery.

I was cuttin up n crushing pills until this past friday...yesterday was 6wks po for me...i was afraid of them gettin stuck

Has anyone noticed that their period symptoms have gotten worse post op? I have been on my couch for 2 days in a row badly fatigued' date=' tired, out of breath when I stand up, and dizzy. I increased fluids ,took Iron supplements and ate really good. Today I feel allot better day 6 of it. But my anxiety levels are higher than normal it just really sucks!!!. My last period lasted 9 days so I'm not sure how long this one will. I hate it wish I was a guy. I exercised today so I hope that will help with the hormones going wacky.[/quote']
