I too am a slow loser I am glad there is a thread for us. I am happy for those dropping a lot of weight but must admit I wish I was one of them. I am 10 weeks out and have lost 26 lbs. today I have gained 2 pounds back but I am swelling in my ankles. I tried my was pill last week my ankles looked great some weight came off but ended up with a migraine and thought I was going to pass out and probably would have if my husband had not been there to get me to my bed quickly. Not sure what to do about the edema because I surely did not like those side effects. I try to keep telling myself the weight will come off but that little voice inside comes back with worry I won't.

Is anyone else losing slowly? I have lost 20 pounds in 5 weeks Tuesday will be 6 weeks. I hit a stall week 3 for 2 weeks and this week I have not lost anything. I am able to eat 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup which is more than I was told which was 1/4 cup. I have a lot of head hunger. Trying not to get discouraged. I am so afraid I will be one of the lap band revision to RYN that doesn't lose. Any advise appreciated

I understand how you feel. I had a two week stall starting on my 3rd week. I just started losing again. I have lost 19 lbs since 10-8-13. Hang in there.

I understand how you feel I stalled going in to week 3 I have not lost anything in 8 days. At first I was ok I knew I would stall at some time but now I am getting depressed about it. My energy level is bad and not losing any weight does not happen ready for a change!

That's good he had to do the same thing when he found out the nurses were not emptying my JP drain unless I asked them too the manager never came to my room which I thought was bad.

That is horrible did the manager Sonya ever come by and talk to you? I would talk to Dr Tanner again during your post op exam I know he is trying to get that floor back in shape.

Starting to get discouraged i am a lap band to RYN I have not lost any weight in a week I have gained 2 lbs. I will be 3 weeks post op tomorrow. I am not having any pain or nausea thank goodness but energy level is bad. Taking a shower I have to sit down for 10 mins after to catch my breath went to church yesterday got ready to leave I felt lightheaded. I am ready to feel normal again.

I would put all that on your survey when you get it. That floor needs some good leadership

That is awful kkelly37 which nurse was it? I went off on a nurse along with my husband one night. She informed me she had to get report that why I had to wait 1 hour for pain meds. Needless to say that was the wrong thing to say. I informed her if you worked for me on my nursing unit that would never come out of her mouth patients come first.

How are you doing?

Harleychic13 try to sip on liquids as much as possible so you don't end up in the hospital for IV fluids. I hope you feel better

So excited had an egg for breakfast and tuna fish for lunch stayed down no problems

Yes I think it has resolved. I am feeling a lot better I got my staples out today only issue is getting enough fluids in and Protein thank you dir asking how are you feeling

He told me 2-4 days I just asked in one of my apts he is a great MD I had very little pain no nausea my biggest problem is getting fluids in

Good luck praying for you and your surgeon

I stayed 4 nights one extra because of a drop in HGB

Praying for you

Today I am one week post op I am down 6.8 lbs. Yesterday I took a shower with no one in the house probably not a good idea I thought I was going to pass out I was thankful to get in the bed. I slept for 2 hours and still felt drained. I am still passing bloody stools which I knew to expect from the surgery but when will that go away? Another thing I wanted to share that has helped me is my daughter-n-law bought home 2 oz cups with lids which equals 1/4 cup. She found these at GFS this has been helpful with measuring so you can fill up the cups and know you are not going over what is required. They also have 1 oz cups so if you wanted soup and then SF Jello. Glad to hear everyone is progressing.

Congratulations you look amazing and that dress is so pretty on you

You look amazing congratulations

Hopefully this Thursday I must say I have more energy today than I have had since my surgery on Tuesday so things are moving in the right direction

Finally home!!! Trying to get liquids in and counting the days down till my staples are out. Having cold sweats wonder how long that will last. No fever. I hope everyone else is doing ok.
