Has anyone used Syntec birth control pill? I am trying to decide which method will be best cause I do not want to gain weight. My doctor's opinion is just whatever I what to use she is ok with it. Any suggestions on pills or other devices that have worked without weight gain would be appreciated.

I am having the same problem I was doing so good and now the last 2 weeks I gained 2 pounds back very frustrating but I think my problem is I was starting to snack on protein bars throughout the day. I feel like I am slipping back into old habits...not good.

it just scares me that I know I should not be snacking in between my meals and I am probably getting too many calories in. I need to start tracking them.

I did not measure last week or this week but I will tonight I had been losing inches as well. My doctor still says no straws cause I know I would do a lot better if I could use a straw. My blood sugars are still running on the higher side for the most part. My A1C was not as good as we hoped for it was 7.4.

I know this is normal but it is frustrating. I am 3 months out and have not lost any weight in 2 weeks and it is making me depressed to the point I feel like I am eating when I shouldn't. I snack on bites of a Protein bar thru out the day. I went for my 3 month dr visit last week and had to get a whole bag of iv fluids cause I was severally dehydrated. Just feeling sad

My nut. told me none of that until I reach goal cause it will just fill you up and not give you any protein or nutrients you need for weight loss.

what were your symptoms? I have been having bad pain right under my sternum and it goes into my back but it is at no specific time it just happens and sometimes it will go away in a few hours and others I will throw up and then it will be gone. I was wondering if it is my gallbladder or gas.

Hey Amy I haven't talked to you in a while. My blood sugars are back to running high. There for a while they were really good but lately running on the high side again, it is frustrating and I haven't lowered my insulin intake that much.

Hi I am 11 weeks post op and have lost 40lbs. I wish it would be more and I just can't seem to lose the lower belly fat. But all and all I am thrilled!!

you are doing great. we are close to stats as far as I am 5'1" and I started at 209.5 my surgery was 11 weeks ago but I have only lost 37.5lbs. I wish I would have lost more and I am only down to a size 14. I can't seem to lose the lower belly fat. I know I need to get moving more and drink more water. Any other advice you can give would be great. Thanks

does the crystal light pure tea have caffeine?

Hi I am type 1 diabetic and my BS stayed in the upper 200's for several weeks. My doc also told me it was due to the surgery and it takes a while to even out.

I had decaf coffee about 2 weeks post op. my Nut. said it counted towards my liquid intake.

Great support group every month at Anne Arundel Medical Center. Look up Dr. Gandsas

You say that is an amazing bra...what brand is it?

Hi I am 7 weeks post op and I already need to buy smaller clothes but I am finding it hard to get rid of my clothes that don't fit. I guess I am still afraid I will end up going back to the bigger clothes and don't want to get rid of my favorites.

I used pillows after about a week when I slept on my side.

I have never posted pictures before but here it goes. I have a hard time seeing the difference.

I am currently 4 weeks post op and I had the same problem. I tried several different kinds and all of them made me sick to my stomach. I finally talked to a friend who had it done years ago and she told me she lived on Gas X so I tried it before I drink my shakes and now things are better.

What is the best way to get rid of belly fat?

I would like to know the answer to that as well I am 1 month post op and I still have those noises all the time and can feel the rumbling.

Hi everyone I am 5'1" and I weighed 209.5 on Jan. 6th (day of surgery) and now I am 3 weeks out and I am at 190.5. I have been frustrated because all protein shakes make me nauseous so I think that is why I am not losing faster. I know they say we are slower to lose but I am getting impatient. I also know I need to exercise more. I am now on mushy foods 2x a day and try to get protein shakes in 2x a day. I find myself pushing the amount of food I take in, I think that is because I feel like if I don't get the protein I am not going to lose. Any advice will be appreciated.

I ride horses also and I am 3 weeks post op and my doctor won't even let me walk my horse yet.

Has anyone tried a no whey protein powder that they like?
