Oh no! I'm so sorry to hear that. Do you think you might have overeaten? What have you been trying?

My husband knows and my best friend knows. I was very angry to discover that she told her husband, but I'm pretty sure it won't go further than that. I have been exercising like crazy for the past few months to improve my health and don't want to hear anyone's BS ( including my very thin and judgmental mother) about me taking the easy way out. I bust my butt. It's certainly not easy.

I am two weeks post op. For the past week, I have either walked 4 miles each day or have used the elliptical machine for 45 minutes. I feel so much happier when I exercise.

Oh, i too was sleeved on June 30. I lost ten pounds within the first five days after surgery and haven't lost an ounce since. But, my calorie intake is low and I work out every day, so I am confident that it's just a matter of time before the scale starts moving again. It is a but disappointing though. I would have preferred a slower, more steady weight loss.

I'm certainly not an expert, but I thought that private groups cannot be searched for. I think those may be closed groups , which are different, and anyone can see the members of those.

I would be interested in a private group. Only my husband knows I've had this procedure.

I had my sleeve done on June 30. My sense of smell is out of control. It was my first pregnancy symptom so my husband keeps freaking out, but I am certain it is from the surgery somehow. I am very glad that you're feeling better with your other health conditions. I feel really good, but I tire easily, so I have decided to take another week off work. I have been walking 4 miles a day; I'm slower than I was before, mostly because I'm afraid of overdoing it. Take care!

Sunshine - you didn't go through all that just to back out now. You can do this! It's perfectly normal to be nervous, but you've got this!

Great post. My only regret is that I didn't start sooner. Exercise is easy for me (I truly love it) but I have never been able to control my eating. I

That sounds horrible. Good luck to you. I took the liquid pain meds last night for the first time, and it made my stomach spasm uncontrollably. Nothing else had caused a reaction like that. If you're unable to contact your doctor today, maybe try easing up on the meds? Maybe that will make your sensitive stomach feel a bit better? Sorry for your troubles.

No injections for me - just medicine to prevent ulcers. I was able to get more liquids and proteins in, but it was awfully hard. I have zero interest in food and am concerned at how quickly the weight is coming off - ten pounds since Monday morning.

Glad everyone seems to be doing well. I feel fine, just a little sore, but I am having a really difficult time getting my liquids in. Any strategic advice?

Good luck to us all tomorrow! I am spending most of the day today with my husband and two toddlers, then a painting date with my best friend. I woke up crazily hungry today but am doing well otherwise. Must be at hospital at 5 am for 7 am surgery. I hope everyone's procedure is complication free and the recovery is smooth.

I am having my surgery on the 30th as well. Best of luck to you all!
