HHHappy got a reaction from AnaBanana in Leaks and complications first hand i want to hear from you.
I'm so sorry y'all had complications!! I can't imagine the scare and disappointment. There is a support section for people who have had or are experiencing complications that you might find helpful. Hugs!!

HHHappy got a reaction from terrydumont46 in Gratitude list
I remember seeing Dr. Weil on Dr Oz talking about Gratitude Journals. I make my list right before I go to bed so my thoughts are "positive", enabling a better sleep.

HHHappy got a reaction from PdxMan in Feeling like a failure to this
I was sleeved on Feb. 6. I lost quickly the first week, then have slowed along with a few no loss weeks. I have put my scale away per my doctor's suggestion. I've lost 24 lbs. I'll take it even though it seems slower than most.
Please get help with your depression. Hope you feel better soon.

Patsy, I'm betting it was a sodium gain.

HHHappy got a reaction from MammaBear2Kamp in Here for my daughter.
My mom is very supportive as well. Most of the people who have not been...have no clue about weight loss surgery. Best of luck to your daughter!!

HHHappy got a reaction from Alex Brecher in How Do You Plan Your Meals?
I voted that I sit down on weekends and plan the week. That's what I've always done and what I will continue to do. However, I'm only 6 weeks out and not everything tastes "right" so my menu planning is on hold for now for myself (but I plan for others in household). I do buy a variety of Protein and eat what sounds good or what I can tolerate.

Put the scales away!! Best thing I did for myself.

HHHappy got a reaction from Jenelle in 2 things that worried me the most.
I, too, was sooooo worried about the gas. I HAD NONE! Before surgery, I ordered lots of samples of Protein so that after surgery, I would have several to pick from. As long as you are taking your Vitamins and getting Protein in, you shouldn't have malnutrition issues. I don't eat a lot but I do make sure I get my protein in, both with real food and protein powders.

HHHappy got a reaction from GoldnGirl6677 in First few weeks
I'm almost 6 weeks out. I had minimal pain. Slept in my own bed the first night home. (was in hospital 2 nights). Went to the grocery store 2 days after I got home. No problems. Just couldn't lift anything over 10 lbs per my surgeon. I don't think I would have had trouble with stairs. BUT... everyone is different!

HHHappy reacted to PokeyJo in 6 months out/slow loser/stopped losing...
It's only over if you want it to be over.... Don't give up! Are you exercising at all? Even simply walking will make a world of difference.
