amazing -
looking great -
seems like the third week plateau is common, I've read about others experiencing this and I myself have not lost anything the last four days of my third week
-
had surgery on 7/23, back to work on 8/11, not much pain at all, lot of nausea and gas, can't stomach protein shakes, and almost everything tastes disgusting, I am not getting enough protein but am working on it every day, I've lost 17 lbs in three weeks
-
I feel your pain. Nothing tastes good and Protein shakes make me gag. I am on soft foods now but I can't stomach them either.
-
My case is like pjhoyt's. The first think people noticed was my face, then neck, then boobs and back. I am waiting to see the result on my belly! I want to see a waist.

New Food For Post Ops...
MisPetunia replied to lovelygirl01's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Dlcloggin please send me a copy as well. I would very much appreciate it. molinaleti@yahoo.com -
we are at the same stage, today I had a boiled egg for the first time but I threw up for lunch I had a tiny bit of sardine but could not tolerate the smell for dinner I was able to have chicken lunch meat although it feels like it is stuck in my throat overall today was painful, maybe my body is not ready for soft foods

Dawnakers, I agree with CashNCamsMom. Call your nurse or see you doctor SOON.

I can't imagine what all have been through or are going through. I can only hope that you have loved ones that support you and keep you company. From where I am, I send you positive thoughts and prayers.

Hello Lovebug. My RNY surgery was on July 23rd. I am learning right side along you too.

MisPetunia replied to CarmenP's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

Pik, I am so sorry that you are going through so much. I will be sure to keep you in my prayers.

Is sleeping on your side safe within the first few days/weeks post op?
MisPetunia posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am six days out. I am worried I may cause any damage or stall healing but I have always been a side sleeper. I do add pillows for support. -
Death and sadness.
MisPetunia replied to LindafromFlorida's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
To Linda and others who have suffered a loss: I can only hope that you have other loved ones who can comfort you, hold you, and listen to you. I find that connecting with nature and a higher power gets me through a day at a time....sometimes a few minutes at a time. -
And So Our Journey Begins...
MisPetunia replied to MistyAnnMoon829's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Woot, woot Misty! 11lbs. is awesome. Keep up the good work. I am feeling much better. I am able to walk about 20 minutes at very low speed and sleep is easier. No pain meds for two days now. -
And So Our Journey Begins...
MisPetunia replied to MistyAnnMoon829's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Sounds like you are doing great. I am very happy for you Misty. I don't walk as much because I am in pain. I take meds about twice a day for it and last night I had this cough so I was sooooooo sore and achy today. On the bright side, I was able to get in more fluids. Oh, an I had my surgery two days BEFORE my birthday. : ) -
And So Our Journey Begins...
MisPetunia replied to MistyAnnMoon829's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Misty, how did you do with the Protein shakes? How much Water are you getting? I have found it hard to get in all my liquids but everyday it gets a bit better. I am worried because I am only getting about half the recommendation. -
anyone else having surgery next week?
MisPetunia replied to MaureenS's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Had mine on Wednesday the 23, best of luck to all of you. I am lucky to have so many people supporting me, otherwise I don't know if I would be doing as well as I am. -
I know how you feel, my surgery is on Wednesday. I am not worried about the surgery either but rather future complications. People in my group, the psychologist, the surgeon, and my friend have all given me the same advice--nobody knows the future, nobody knows what will happen 20 years or a day from now whether you are having surgery or not. Just stay positive and have faith. Let us know how it all goes. Best wishes!

Sotabee, good to hear you are doing well, stay positive and motivated.
