Wow. I just started eggs and I get about 45grams of protein. It is hard the doctor wants me at 60grams. I just do not feel like I am hungry.

@armywife I still feel swollen and my stomach aches the scale is making me crazy. I think I need to hide it. Thank u. You are doing great.

I was told to lay on my left side and small sips of water.

Preop weight 275lbs Today 223 lbs Surgery was May 17, 2012

Vamp it is not just about the lbs it is about better health. Building muscle is good, working out is great. After surgery this time I am so weak I would trade muscle for loss weight at this point.

@ kmiller, stop being so hard on yourself. I am 45 and was told it will be slower weightless with the revision. Our body's metabolism is slower because of our 1st surgery. Try to trick your body change whatever u eat and drink daily. It seems to be working ok for me. I walk for an hour 3 times a week nothing great just whatever I can do, I sit if I need to but it gives me time with myself no music just me and my head.

So sorry you are having such a bad time. You have a tough life but it is your life. 1st the wasting food issue, freeze leftovers in ice cube trays. When they freeze put in ziplock bag mark whatever u put in bag. 2nd you do not need a gym, put shoes on and walk out the door. Give yourself 1 hour a day for you. Walk, take a breath, on days you can not walk take 2 cans of anything you have in the panty and work your arms. Take time for you and take a long bath. As for your husband not being supportive, make your own support. Use this group and remember it is about your happiness .

That is wonderful. Muscles are good. Vamp how do I set my profile with start weight and goals?

Wonderful. Keep us posted.

I am sending prayers. The surgery is expensive but as long as the insuance does their part, you are only required to pay the allowable part. I just had my surgery and I do insuance for a children's hospital so I had to go to an adult hospital and pay 20% the hospital billed 68,000 so far after they pay their part I am only responsible for 1200. Still waiting for final processing.

I also had a low temp and was told to take liquid pain meds. 3wks later sore but better. Having muscle pain but stomach only sore.

If you find out let me know . The doctor have me muscle relaxers for bedtime I was spasming in my back and legs horrible. I also added sugarfree Gatorade to my protein drink it seems to help during the day.

I was also working for a hospital and had BC. They have a disclaimer. So they like to stand by it. Just had my 2nd surgery the hospital submitted 68,000 in charges. I am holding my breath but this time BC not my insurance

I wish you guys lived in Louisiana could use the support postoperative . I went to one support group meeting and plan to keep trying. It was kinda crazy more than 1/2 the group were only a year out of surgery and looked great. But they were very interested in going out after group and shaking their money makers. I guess I am not at that stage yet

My shoe size has decrease by a 1/2 of size.

Y'all look marvelous

I use my fitness pal on my iPhone. I love it and it keeps track of food, water and activities. Let's u set playlist of music while giving time and distance

Ok. I do not want to upset anyone but BC is horrible my 1st RNY they precertified my surgery. I had the surgery done and after 4 years of fighting them they said " precertification does not guarantee payment". I filed bankruptcy .

I started getting depressed because I am up and down the same 4lbs. for a week now. I am still walking but 3 weeks post op and I am still sore. I am considering going back to clear liquids and protein drinks. Any suggestions?

Glad all went well. 3weeks post op and best and worst day was getting drain removed. Hurt so good.

Ok, I am fairly new to this app . How do I add Start weight and goals.
