No poop comes from your intestines not your stomach but you might want to try some laxatives so you dont have to strain soo hard.

Your not being fair to your wife! She didnt get the tool that you did. Show her some respect and treat her kindly. If she wants the surgery help her thru it. If she doesnt love her! She loved you when you were bigger!!!

• I went on a caribean cruise at 6 weeks out! I had a blast! The waiters all thought I didnt like the food because I could only eat a little but it was all soo good. My advice is to make sure you take a Water bottle to get all of your Water in and eat the Protein foods first. You will have fun. I actually lost 3 pounds!

I just had my 7 week check up and the doctor took all restrictions off of me. I think you will be fine just listen to your body if it hurts stop. I cant even imagine doing 200 sit ups but thats just me if you can do it go for it.

Dont value the opinion of an A-hole! You look fantastic! He is probably just jealous because he is such a slacker!

I didnt tell my mother either and never will. The only people that know are my immediate family and 1 close friend. Its nobodys business but mine.

At this early I didnt feel hunger I just tried to get all of my Protein in. Later you will get an empty feeling. I usually just try to eat every 3 to 4 hours just to keep my blood sugar levels up. The beauty of the surgery is that it takes most of that hungry feeling away.

Im a slow loser too but you need to look at it different. I look at it like hey Im not gaining weight! Plus I figure in 6 months it will all average out. They may lose faster at first but it will slow down. Plus because we are losing slower our skin has the time to shrink back so we wont have all that saggy skin. SLOW AND STEADY WINS THE RACE EVERYTIME! Plus stressing out makes your body hold onto the weight. Dont know why but it does. Relax and enjoy the ride!!

You should be fine going back to school that soon.The first week is the hardest after that you should be fine. At 6 weeks out I went on a cruise and had a blast.

I am 6 weeks out I had 4oz of wine on vacation and it went straight to my head! Im not a big drinker but this was crazy fast.

I am soo proud of you and pray I will follow in your foot steps!

I understand how you feel completely! My husband and I have been married 25 years and most of our celebrations and date nights have revolved around food. We have decided that we are going to do new things like try out new hiking trails, go to the beach and walk the pier, walk some of the awesome bridges that we have here in florida! All that eating out wasnt doing either of us very good. It really is all about being together and celebrating each other. Dont focus on the lack of food think about all the other things that you will be able to discover and the long healthy life that you will now have!!

Hey stop beating yourself up!! There are enough people in the world that will do that for you!! You have to be your own best friend! Your own cheerleader! Change your self talk! Think about all of life challenges that you have accomplished. Weight is just 1 part of you it does not define ALL of you!!! You deserve to everything you want in life!! GO OUT AND GET IT and dont let anything stop you! You have made a great decision for yourself already and you just need to work it! YOU GOT THIS!!!

Thank you sooo much I thought I was losing my mind!! My feet have gotten really dry too. I have never had dry feet in my life and now I have to moisturize them nightly!! Whats up with that??

They pumped your full of fluids during your surgery. Dont get on the scale until the 11th thats why he scheduled it out that far so your body will have had time to adjust and get rid of all of the Water weight. Trust me you will lose weight! U got this!!

I cant eat and drink at the same time. If I do, because we all know I have tried, everthing gets caught in my esophagus and nothing goes down. I eat, wait 30 minutes and then I can drink normally again. Im fortunate that I dont have a problem drinking I can even gulp things down. I have found that gatorade goes down better than Water though so I mix it 50/50!

I was the same way! 12 days out and I have to start my morning with warm Water and then it has to be room temperature throughout the day. Cold Water makes me nauseous. The weird thing is I can drink a shake with ice in it and it doesnt bother me at all. Also i tolerate gatorade better than water so I have been mixing it half and half!

Thats amazing! Im soo proud of you! Im losing slower since I only lost 6 lbs in 10 days but Im not complaining at least Im losing!

Good job! I was sleeved on 6/20 and am down 25 but that includes the preop weight loss. Im still not allowed to eat anything solid for another week and a half. Im not hungry but I really want to chew something!!

I want to be where you are too! Im only 11 days out so I have to keep telling myself that it wont happen over night! Good job!!

I would leave it on until it comes off by itself it has to be doing something good. If you just cant I think alchole will take it off

I am the same way! I have never had problems with liquids I probably drink 128 oz a day! Not even counting the bazillion SF popsicles i eat a day! I was able to drink a whole Protein drink 8oz on day 7 I thought there was something wrong too! Im just going to look on the bright side and be thankful. First doctors appointment this morning and first weigh in Im excited and nervous!

Im 10 days out and have never had any problem with liquids thank goodness. I ate a whole pudding cup for the first time yesterday but didnt like how it made me feel.

You look fantastic! I hope to follow you.

Beautiful! I am soo proud of you!!
