  1. Yes. I had 5 iron infusions. I did not start feeling better for several weeks. I was also taking 3 iron pills a day. Just be patient. It will get better

    Loss of Motivation

    I am about 9 months out too. You have to look at old pictures. Remind yourself how bad you felt before. It's easy to get back into old habits. Go back on shakes for a week. Give yourself a reset. I went and tried on clothes I still want to wear but can't quit fit into yet. It does help. I also think about all the crap I had to do to have this surgery in the first place. I am determined to not gain back that weight
  3. I had 5 weekly infusions before surgery and still take iron daily. It took almost a month before I started feeling better

    Struggling with no carbs

    My NUT said to add back in carbs. Best decision I ever made. I have about 100 grams a day and losing steadily. Carbs are not the enemy of chose the right ones.
  10. Taco bell chicken fresco soft taco. Port of subs lettuce or wheat wrap. Starbucks reduced fat turkey bacon breakfast sandwich. I very rarely eat these things though

    Strange Info from NUT re: Carbs

    I just saw My NUT. And she said not to worry about carbs. She said calorie count was the main indicator. I am usually between 70 and 90 now. I am losing well. I actually just added back in some good carbs and I feel good

    How to fight HEAD HUNGER?

    The best way for me to get through it was get lots of liquids, make sure it's not acid and eat on a schedule focusing on protein first even if you don't feel hungry

    CPAP Machine. I have no love for it.

    Yeah I feel your pain.I hate mine. The only days I have used it was when I was forced to in the hospital right after surgery. I. Tried right after surgery and it caused me pain in my chest so I quit and haven't used it since. I realize this isn't good but it's just my reality

    Why Am I Dropping Weight So Slowly?

    I am averaging about a half pound a day. That is with stall a included. It always seems slower than it is.
