8mths out and mine is still loud as ever

A friend of mine was taking ibuprofen all the time for pain because she said her doctor said it was ok now 3 yrs later she just had to revise to bypass without choice due to all the erosion in her stomach

I was getting that too now i just moved one of my protein shakes to that time n it takes care of it

I am also 3 mths out and at 30 lbs since surgery .I have always been a slow loser thats why I had the surgery but I didn't count on continuing to lose slow.Some people said I wasn't eating enough and increase calories. So I did and nothing has changed yet.I am worried because I know its only going to get slower.

Thank you I definitely will be talking to him because I can't continue to be in this kind of pain every month

My menstrual cramps have been so severe since surgery im having to take norco the first day or two since no ibuprofen. A friend of mine had the sleeve 2 years ago and insisted she can still take ibuprofen because her surgeon said she could take it sparingly needless to say she just had to convert to bypass to fix all the erosion from the ibuprofen. I definitely need to look into other options because i cannot continue to go through this severe pain every month

I have actually had someone tell me wow something looks really different about you like your 10 years younger did you have a facelift or something Guess it was supposed to be a compliment but i was so offended im only in my 30s lol

I am 10 weeks out and i was able to do about 3-4 bottles of water a day lately I am lucky if I finish 2 it seems to be getting harder for water

thank you

i am going through the same thing right now for the past month every 2-3 days i am beyond constipated n sitting on toilet crying i was taking mom which doesn't work that well but i can't keep taking all the time i don't know what else to do.i am miserable

I am getting so discouraged mine is moving soooo slow. I don't know what to do to make it speed up

Is the 30 lbs loss since surgery or is that including preop

Wow 48 lbs. That is great. I was sleeved may 6 im getting in about 550 calories but that includes my 2 protein shakes a day. My coworkers who have had it done say im not eating enough but I don't feel like I can do more at this time. Im getting really discouraged I am only down 19 lbs since surgery I don't see how I can eat that little and not lose.My nutritionist is on vacation so not sure how much I should be eating at this point.

I am 6 1/2 weeks out and have only lost 14 pounds. Same as you getting all protein and water - no cheating. Hungry and can consume 8 ounces before fullness feeling. I am 6 weeks out and I have only lost 16 lbs. I have not cheated I Am only getting in 3-4 oz for Breakfast lunch and dinner and I do two Protein shakes a day only getting in about 3 bottles of water. I am getting so discouraged.

glad to hear your doing better you will be full speed soon .good luck

how are you doing

i completely feel your pain I lost 11 lbs the first 2 weeks and then the scale didn't move for 21 days. It was really getting to me because I couldn't understand it since the doctors say as long as you follow it will come off.finally yesterday it dropped 2 lbs. I really hope that this long stall is over.

Mine also have been severe since surgery i could barely walk had to do hot showers heating pad Tylenol wasn't working so had to take 1/2 a norco leftover from surgery

I am in the same place sleeved may 6 and only down 11 lbs nothing in 2 weeks. I am about to start solids but im worried if i start eating food again am i going to gain. I have been worried this isn't going to work

So everyone that is 4 weeks out or more im so confused on what to start eating they said slowly introduce new food's what is everyone eating

that is great your doing good. How many times a day are you eating i feel like im doing this wrong i have only lost 11 lbs in almost 4 weeks i don't know what to do

I'm 4 days post op and I actually feel really good. I'm not really tired during the day although sometimes I take a 30 min to an hr nap mid afternoon. So far so good! that's great good luck on your journey very fatigue how far out are you

How is everyone doing with their weight loss since surgery?

everyone seems that be losing so much I am 3 1/2 weeks out and only down 11 lbs im really starting to get discouraged because if im not losing while im barely eating how am i going to lose when I start eating food ugghh

im getting all my protein in still with my shakes i haven't really felt full yet because i don't think im allowing myself to eat enough to be full im just going by my nut guidelines says not to eat more than 1/4 c at a time until i progress to regular foods so i measure out and stop
