Snow25 ...I went home with the same liquid medication. It helped alot & was so easy to get down. The pills are a nightmare.

Stall for the past 2 weeks

I'm 7 weeks out & I am having the same symptoms you are. I talked to my surgeon today & he has scheduled me for an EGD to dilate my stoma. He said that should make the pain go away. I sure hope it helps!

I'm 6 weeks out & STILL have trouble with my daily meds. If swallowed they end up hurting & feeling stuck. The alternative of crushing them up is just nauseating! Wish there was an easy fix.

I use Gas-X strips. They seem to help.

I'm in the Dallas area. Surgery was 10/09

I wore a sports bra right after surgery. Make sure it is a little loose around your middle so it doesnt bother the incision that's there.

I'm 3 1/2 weeks out & I've never been so fatigued in all my life. It is all I can do to drag myself out of the bed. I have no energy at all. It is being to get me depressed. Not sleepy just fatigued. Any advice?

Kristy, great job! I know how good it feels to look at the scale & see numbers below 200! Keep up the terrific progress

DOS 201

Today 189

Total weight loss 23 lbs

Surgery 10/09/12

Admitted on a Monday & discharged on Thursday

I started this journey at 212. DOS 201 & now weigh 190. Im 5'1.

@ Uniqueladybug... I do believe that is true about it all depending on how much weight you have to lose. I am a "light weight" & need to lose around 90 lbs. So I suppose it is going to be much slower for me compared to those that have more weight to lose. It just doesnt come off that easily.

I'm 40 yrs old but had a hysterectomy so the "monthly cycle" is not due to my weight. I think Im not getting enough fluids or calories in. I probably get in approx 200-300 calories a day. And Fluid intake isnt good either. Im so worn out & tired that its all I can do to get up & walk. Seriously I am a mother of 5 grown children but I've never been this tired in all my life. Cant wait for better days!

Thoughts & prayers to you & your family!

Me too!!! Let's definitely stay in touch!!!! I really mean that!!! We can support each other and get to a size zero a little slower than everyone else :-) We didn't make it there this week so maybe by next week lol!!!!

Yes, lets do stay in touch! I added you as a friend

It is frustrating!!! We have drastically reduced our calorie intake so I feel like weI should be a size zero by now lol!!! Just kidding!!! I try not to compare myself either but it is really hard not too. I feel like I'm doing something wrong too!!! I feel like I'm behind. I'm so glad to hear your going through the same thing :-)

You sound EXACTLY like what Im feeling. I had to laugh when you said we should be a size zero. Thats how I feel too. With the little amount of calories I've had in the past 3 weeks it seems like I would have lost more weight. I'm really glad that I've found someone who also feels the way I do!

I was wondering the same thing. My weight loss has slowed down too. I had my surgery 10/10/12. I'm having such a hard time getting my Protein down too. Thanks for asking this question :-)

I had my surgery on 10/09/12 so we are only a day apart. I guess from what Im reading we are still healing & need to give our bodies more time. I get discouraged when I read that some people have lost a LOT of weight in a short period of time. Leaves me wondering what I'm doing wrong. It does get frustrating.

I'm 3 weeks out & want to amp up my weight loss. I'm having trouble getting all my Protein in ...could this be the reason for my slow weight loss? I've read that increasing protein intake increases weight loss, is this true?

I am 3 weeks post-op & have lost a total of 11 lbs since DOS. When I weighed this morning I had gained 2 lbs. What can I do to get this weight headed in the loser's direction & not gain any? I must be doing something wrong. I thought the weight was easier to lose in the beginning?

Pre-op weight 212

2 weeks post op 191

I just had Chinese today. I'm 2 weeks out & successfully had 1/4 cup of hot & sour Soup. I brought the remaining bowl home which will give me 3 more servings. YUMMY!

Good luck ladies!! You will all do terrific! God bless
