Eww y'all I hate to be a debbie downer but yesterday and today have been HELL . I've almost fainted twice , everything I've eaten has come back up I have constant pain in my shoulders and back. I'm miserable!!!! I hope episode moves quickly.

I'll be a month post tomorrow and I've lost 33 pounds.

I'll be a month post op on the 12th . My weight loss has slowed to about a pound a day. Some people lose at different paces so I wouldn't stress it. It will happen

May not lose pounds but still lose inches

Milk of mag! Life saver!

Blue I can relate , I've lost 33 lbs so far after surgery and it looks like it all is coming from my legs I'm afraid I'm gonna start looking like a watermelon on toothpicks! Haha!

Yea I have them they don't seem to work much.

I'm 22 days post op now and y'all I just don't know what's wrong with me ! My stomach doesn't hurt like a sharp pain hurt but I have that weird feeling 24/7 like I have a virus or something and fight throwing up all day long. I have back pain, shoulder and neck pain. I'm just having more bad days then good days now and I don't know why. I'm getting in alot of my fluids and a good bit of protein . Can't wait til I go to my doctor I'm just ready to feel normal again!

Take this time to focus on healing and getting in your fluids. As long as you do as told the surgery will do its part with weight loss! I went into a funk at one time because the first week I lost 20 pounds then the second week gained 3 back it can be frustrating but it will come!

That's what you should do concentrate on getting better the surgery will handle the weight loss! I will say the fluid intake gets so much better I'm 19 days out now and I still have bad days but I'm able to get a lot more water down. I'm down 27 lbs

I really didn't change nuttin up but my water in take did get a lot better soooo maybe water had something to do with it .

I hit a stall at 15 days out my doctor said the 3rd week usually is the first stall. My stall broke shortly after. Good luck!

Good luck!!!!!

*A non-scale victory shout out* I was walking through my house yesterday in front of my family, with my hands full and my pants fell to my ankles!!!!!! I was so happy/excited I couldn't be embarrassed lmao. My 5 year old said mommy I don't think them pants fits you anymore! Heheh just thought I'd share!

I'm gonna go today and get some unflavored to add to my soup and maybe my yogurt. I have the chocolate protein shake by bod-e its yummy ! But I think I could get alot more in taking your advice and adding it to soups. So thanks!

Take chap stick!

Girllll I will not lie I craved pickles and salad soooooo bad that I actually took a few sips of pickle juice lol

I'm 18 days out now , been doing puree since day 3. I do a lot of the re fried beans and yogurts my stomach is super sensitive still, I just need to find a way to get in more protein. I drink the Carnation breakfast essentials twice a day but I need something with more protein I'm gonna start trying different protein drinks.

I'm having the same back issues! Goes up to my shoulders and neck not comfortable.

I can soooo relate!

Sooooo about the whole "BM" thing lol dude no lie constipation will make you regret this surgery just for a few seconds lol I didn't have my first until a week after my surgery . Milk of mag is my new bff, I hateeeee constipation its miserable . I just wanna poop normal!!! Heheh

Sorry girl it was meant for sugar free me but I miss an selected wrong thing and seen where you commented and wasn't paying attention.

I got over my funk lol this surgery is def a " life" changing journey in soooo many ways! I can't lie or sugar coat anything there has been several times I thought I screwed up my life by having this surgery but I just stayed positive and the goods def out weigh the bads. I'm still battling getting all my liquids in and protein and I'm 17 days out I think lol but everyday gets a little better.

Hey Kim what protein do you use to mix in with the soups? Is it flavored?

Hey Kim! I'm now 15 days post op and I still have to take the zofran for nausea . I have good and bad days, and around my 9th day I was stick feeling icky but sweetie I promise it does seem to get much easier. It has for me ! Sorry you feel so bad I'll pray for you along with all of my weight loss FAM!
