I also have pain in my neck, back and shoulder. After I'm up for a little I get week in the knees and a little lightheaded. It does get a little better each day. I've noticed that a shower and getting dressed wears me out-- need a nap after. Also my feet are swollen (but getting better each day!) Good news though -- no heartburn/bile reflux and no hunger!

I had mine Tuesday. The hernia was bad-- a prior surgery had come loose again and the mesh hadn't dissolved (lots of scar tissue). Hernia repair and RNY took 4.5 hours- I'm still extremely tired and not able to walk much but it gets better every day! Still taking pain meds. We should keep up with each other-- I also had mine for medical reasons (Bile Reflux). I was sleeved two years ago so I only need to lose about 35lbs to goal weight.

Hi! I had sleeve done in 2013 and now my gerd/heartburn is out of control. I'm trying to get approved for the bypass but so far insurance has denied it. Any secrets you can share to getting approved?

175-- I gained a lb-- but it's stopping there. I've been lax in exercising because of family visiting from out of town but that has to stop. Here's to a new week.

Starting weight 174 Goal weight 165 Hoping for a lb or two a week and a leaving room for a stall of a few weeks! Good luck everyone!

Official 6 month weigh in at the Dr--174

Can't believe it...173 this week! I might re weigh tomorrow just to make sure!

You look great Bea'

176 today!!

Bea, thanks so much for the encouraging comments last week! Down 2 lbs and so excited! 177 6/6

Current weight 179 Goal weight 175 I have not lost weight in the last 6-8 wks--I am 5 months from surgery and starting to get concerned about this stall. Any good advice to jump start again? I've tried more water, different exercise, eating more, eating less-- it's exhausting worrying about it! I'm not close to my goal at all. I go from 179 to 180 to 178 back to 179 over and over. Bea, I'm so thankful for the challenges -- they are the only thing keeping me from giving up right now!

I'm in... Thanks Bea!

I was 179.8 this morning -- I'm in a serious stall and it is so frustrating. Add me to the July challenge -- I need to keep my motivation up somehow! Happy Memorial Day!

178 this morning... Hope everyone had a great Mother's Day !

178.5...keep on keepin' on!!
