Read "food not tasting good" I posted this morning has the nutritionist recommended diet that I follow at 10 wks

I lost 35 since July 2. From 230 to 195

Well guys I ended my stall yesterday morning when I went down .4 lbs. And today I got on the scale and dropped about 4 lbs!!!! Turns out I was eating to few calories again. This is my second stall and it seems like when I stall it is because I am not eating enough calories and spreading my meals too far apart. I am now at 269.4!!! A total loss of 38 lbs!!!!!!

Don't feel discouraged or feel like you should've lost more you are doing AWESOME!!!!!!

When it's real hunger you will feel weak and your stomach will growl and make loud noises.
Depending on how far out you are you may not be able to feel hunger because the anesthesia keeps everything numb digestion wise for about 1-2 weeks.

It was recommended to use a stool softener instead. The other stuff retains additional Water in your stomach to create a movement.

I have just ended my period. I got the shot for the first time and bled for a month straight and it just ended yesterday. So I am not sure if he has to do with the hormones. I also recently started using Miralax and my mom told me that it causes you to hold more Water in your colon so maybe that is what it is... I really hope this ends soon and that I don't go up any higher.

Recycled it seems like whenever you come out of the men's room to post you piss of a whole lot of women (and men I'm sure)...
You know when you finally get your surgery, you might understand where these people are coming from a bit more....

All I will say in reply to this is that bariatric surgery will never be the easy way out!!!
I had so many ideas of how things would be post op when I was pre op and none of my thoughts were correct.
You will never know the struggle after having a bariatric procedure until you have been through it.
You haven't had the surgery so you have never struggled or failed or gotten off track.
Until, you go through the surgery and make no mistakes and follow the plan to a T for the rest of your life you have no room to judge or put anyone else down.

I used to have a mirena. I've never been preggers or given vaginal birth so it was a horrible 10/10 pain putting it in. My dr did not warn me or numb me. My cervix went from 0 to 2-3cm.
After that trauma i was sobbing & they gave me regular tylnol.
1yr later i had to have it forcebly removed as the arm had grown into the side of my uterus. They pretty much gave me an abortion w/ o the baby part to get it out. It was aweful.
Overall, I know 2 other people in real life whom have had similar horror stories. One had given birth & had no pain but the dr. Inserting the mirena perforated her uterus & it had to be remived. The other lost her strings & the thing had dislodged.
But, do whats right for u.
I also have high bp & take bp pills because getting off bcp is not an option.
I too loved nuvaring!
Have u tried the sponge? They have it at target & Walmart. I liked it & "doubled" up by using sponge & condoms. I'm a little paranoid about not getting preggers.
allons-y

Ask your doctor about Skyla IUD , it is for women who haven't had children yet or who need only 3 yr birth control.

Hey Guys,
I am Kari and I am 20 years old. I had my sleeve surgery on July 2, 2013. I was released from the hospital on July 4th.
The first day was pretty much a blur. I was so SCHWASTED on the IV pain medications. I literally fell asleep while walking the first night after surgery. Lol
The first few days were the hardest. The pain was pretty tolerable. Infact I was off my pain meds after the second day home so 4 days post op My pain was pretty much gone.
The detoxing from the food was really what made the first few days hard. I had random crying spells because I missed food. I would wake up in the morning and cry because I couldn't just go to the fridge and stuff my face Like I used to.
I knew I was addicted to food but, I didn't realize how bad it was until I literally couldn't eat anything.
I advanced myself to solid food pretty fast. By the second week I was eating small portions of everything I used to. NOT A GOOD IDEA!!!! I hit a 2 week stall not because my body had just reached a plateau but because I was eating small portions of foods that I used to eat. I had lost 20lbs in about one week and felt like I was invincible but I wasn't. It took about a Two more weeks to get myself out of the slump I had put myself in which was kind of a waste of my time because I could've been down 30lbs by week 4. But, you live and you learn
Now, it is week 4 and I have finally gotten out of the CALORIE induced stall. I am now down 23lbs!!! Yay!
This journey has been hard and kind of stressful. But, it is not nearly as bad as I thought it would be and I wouldn't change it!!!

This is a learning experience. Don't let any of these people on forums etc let you think they never cheated or got discouraged and went of plan. We all have! No one is perfect and you can't expect to not make mistakes.
The good thing is you realize it now and you have enough time to change your behaviors and still have success.
Keep on keeping on lol!
Inbox me if you have any questions

Congrats in your loss!

Great job so far!!

Omg! I'm doing the same thing. But on a smaller scale.......more like 2-3 small bites of Protein high meat/beans or two a day. I need to stop this. I haven't even lost much the first week...I so don't want to not lose weight....I PAID FOR THE SURGERY....GAAAHHHHHH! haha
