Your body is healing and adjusting. Give yourself time. It is part of the journey

I took 4 weeks..mainly because it was over the Christmas holidays. It allowed me time to heal and get use to my new life style.

My surgeon requires me to see my primary care physician regularly. Keeping him in the loop of my success and journey

Ask your dr. Don't risk your new stomach. Ulcers and bleeds are serious

Don't be a prisoner to that scale..get your protein, fluids and vitamins and you will succeed. I only weigh at my dr office.

Food and fluid journal

6 months out and mine have changed...more in width then length but had to toss a lot of shoes away because they did not fit anymore

Congratulations..best of luck on your journey

It gets better everyday..stay on the plan and your journey will take you to success.

I feel your pain. It was so hard and I was not prepared for it. Thousands and thousands of $$ out. But once I did it I felt better. Gave them to charity and thought someone else can enjoy the find. I'm not putting money into clothes like that ever again but I had faith I would not ever need them again. Best of luck with your cleaning project. Post again how it is going.

Wow..seems a bit far out. I am six months out and get blood work done for the first time now. I might call back and visit with them.

Congratulations...you are doing great. You will find what foods work for you. I'm 6 months out and oatmeal still does not work for me so I just avoid it. It gets easier. Get your protein and that helps the energy level.

Will be keeping you in my prayers...a new beginning a new you!

That is such great news. Best of luck on your journey. You are going to be amazed. Take it easy, rest, the pain of getting up and down is only temporary. Walk and keep moving. Drink and get your protein. One day at a time. Congratulations

I see my PCP post surgery on a regular basis. My surgeon recommended I keep him informed of my progress. I'm glad I do.

Congratulations...great post

Congrats...stay the journey! It is so worth it.

Learn from it and avoid it. I hate that feeling so never let myself get there. Listen to your body. My motto is..not one more bite!

Don't worry about it. It is a journey. Different for everyone. Don't let the scale take your power

Don't worry about it. Stay doing what you do and it will come off. Don't let the scale play with your head. Everyone goes through them at different times on this journey. Stay positive

Swimming and walking...are you getting your protein. When I was weak it was related to not enough protein

Prayers sent your way. I hope you are able to talk with your surgeon.

I had the same problem with the vitamix...I had to let it rest in the refrigerator too

Keeping on your journey...good for you. I know my relationship has changed so much and sounds like yours has too.

Hydration and brushing my teeth a lot got me through that phase. Best of luck
