Is it normal to still have a hard time eating and getting water in? I'm still tired. I constantly take pictures to remind myself. My team said I would still be shopping in the same section force of habit I guess.

That's true but depending on your starting weight it won't be much .. I followed the diet plan they give and exercised and my goal was 5 pounds each time you will be fine

perfectly normal to fluctuate a couple of lbs., but I would reflect back on your meal and exercise plan last week . Maybe you need to do something different (less carbs, more protein, more water, more cardio?). Don't be too hard on yourself! Thank you so much I believe it might have been to much carbs .. I will be carb free from now on ... now it says 184.5 no carbs at all yesterday and I made tacos for the family lol.. I had chicken with cheese and taco sauce 0 calories no sugar of course tasted the same

yay!!! Welcome keep in contact let us know how you are we are here for you!! Praying for a uneventful surgery and a speedy recovery.

Amen I did the same ... I'm now almost 8 weeks out. The surgery is a battle itself.. I enjoy it some days and the others days could be better .. I keep God first and thank him everyday... God bless you as well and welcome too the club you won't regret it

186.5 gained this week trying hard feeling discouraged

Hello, I'm about 71/2 weeks out and I've had a pretty smooth ride. I was sitting for the most part of the day I walked around a little when we took a break(I was getting my hair done). I had on sweats and a tank top the sweats were on my stomach while I sat down not tight to me at all . Well when I got home and took the sweats off I had the worse pain in my stomach feels like intense cramps no other symptoms as of yet please help is this gas? I did have water and Powerade Zero.

I went through Kaiser Richmond.. I lost 22 pre op they didn't set it like that I just followed the pre op diet also they use my orientation weight..

how much do you weigh now ??

thank you so much

after and before I mixed it up .. I was 234 highest weight 242 now I'm 185.5 my goal I 160 doctor goal is 150 either way I will be satisfied.. I'm so happy I did this even though I miss certain foods but I'm okay for the most part ..

Who said anything about quick fixes and miracles? If I or anyone else feels discouraged then so be it. We are allowed .. Do you snack at all?

I feel the same way I see so many people losing so much more I'm very discouraged right now

80 pounds including pre op? Within 7 weeks on surgery either way congrats!!!!!

185.5 and my weight from last week was 191.5 according to my journal lol sorry about that I must have put the wrong weight

Hello we are some what similar I'm 5'5 27 and was 242 the day of orientation I was 234 the day of surgery with the help of pre op diet mine was just basically no fried foods and smaller portions and no carbs which I did have some just very little. I was 212 the day of surgery I'm currently one month out and I am 186.. I still eat out but I eat very little and its chicken or something light I'm on soft foods the first few weeks are the hardest.. I'm very social but by November I will be able to eat whatever I want which will be healthy because I have no cravings or need for sweets or anything unhealthy .. Crazy I never thought I would say that.. You can message me privately if you want more details my process was easy and fast

Question do people gain the weight back because they are eating regular or it just comes back does the exercise stop ??

????

Hello I'm praying for you. I hope all is well. And you will be approved soon.

Also the orientation is very informative ,, long you might get Liz she's ummm interesting .. If you have any questions ask there ... Keep your binder they give you it helps and has tons of info. You also find out who your surgeon is .. That day. My process went fast .. Everyone's process is different. It's really the psych evaluation that pro longs it if you can get a appointment before he gets booked you will be cool. Options? What is that? Didn't hear about thatHa yes Liz is veryyyyy interesting. I wonder if she had this operation. she kind of scared me.ha. yes one time I didnt have something filled out in the binder and I was like a kid at school getting reamed.. yikes.never forgot again. she did have the surgery .. I can tell by how "passionate " she is plus the extra skin under her arms and the person recipes she has. She's cool but she will get on you quickly lol. Half the people in orientation never came back lol I don't know what scared them the surgery or her????????????????

I'm in Oakley sleeved on August 12

They also have the Powerade ZERO in bulk at target I love it... Best tasting zero calorie out there .. I bet it will help I love water but since vitamins have taken over I can barely tolerate it which really saddens me so I drink lots before I take meds and after I drink Powerade ZERO until I eat then after 1hour of course I have water again

I love the Powerade ZERO grape flavor I buy the 64 oz I also buy strawberry. The blue the red and the green but grape is as close to regular your going to get

Thats me right now I'm only 5 weeks out and have began a slow weight loss.. I call it a stall because I've been the same for about a week now this will be the second. I'm just going to start a new exercise plan. Ugh
