Hello Kim! How are things going for you?

We're almost twins! I was 245 at surgery and am at 178 today. No exercise. I am discouraged and mad at myself for not taking full advantage of the honeymoon phase, which I fear is over. I've let some bad habits creep back in - sugar, alcohol, carbs. Still losing but only 1-2 lbs per month. I'm recommitting this week...getting rid of the bad stuff and trying to get to goal once and for all!Well, it looks like you and I are going to have to encourage each other!! Where do you live? I'm in Iowa Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

Thanks for the encouragement. I simply cannot drink the shakes at all. I'm unable to get a few drinks down before the action starts. I've tried different types of shakes but they all do it.

Hello, the both of you!! My progress is nothing to write home about. I'm 5'4, and was 241 prior to surgery. So far I've lost 64 lbs. sitting at 177 as of current. I've had a lot of stomach issues since the surgery. My hormones freaked on me a few months ago, producing additional problems. About a month ago I hurt my back at work and keep re injuring myself. Needless to say not much of any exercise. Protein shakes are now giving me diarrhea. Wondering about a possible lactose intolerant issue??? Other than that I'm great!!! How about you guys?

Hi, I'm new here but sleeved in January

Update on the Imodium: it worked well for me with no other incidents after one pill. On a side note, the temperature of the liquid you're consuming matters. If it's too cold or too hot it can cause muscle spasms in your stomach. I sure wish I had this info since day one.

Oops...If you're not urinating much

I'm in the same boat, but 6 days post-op. I'm having more going out then I'm able to take in. (Drinking is a while other story all together). The nurse told me to take Imodium for the diarrhea. I can't tell you the results, as i just took it about five minutes ago. The biggest concern is dehydration right now, so try to keep drinking. If you're running a fever (101.0) and not untrusting much you may want to go to the ER.
