I'm 9 weeks down 43 lbs.. To me it seems like a SLOW process or not even moving at times. My husband is in the oil field so you can imagine where this is going.. He hasn't worked in almost 3 months. I'm a stay at home mom to our 4 year old daughter. Times are rough now than its been in the past. I seem to be falling back into my old ways. I eat when I'm depressed, stressed, worried etc.. (Or I find myself going all day not eating Bc my mind is going 90 miles an hour). The things I chose to eat aren't always good either. I feel like I'm failing myself... But I have hit a road block! I look to food as support for what my husband and I are going thru. Let's not mention that not having a job already puts strain on your marriage. Just some advice would be helpful!! Or if u know of some WORK that would be great to! THANKS FOR LISTENING while I kinda vent. ????

Have you ever got on the scale and went up 2lbs?? This is SCARY!! What am I doing wrong??

Umm no I don't believe I said I wasn't going to look.

Lol I bet u get some looks.

Thank you ????

Ok great. Thank you for your advice. I have a schedule that every Thursday I weigh myself when I get up. It is the time of the month to. ????

I could go to work and would like to. I haven't worked in 5 years. I'm not sure how fast I could get a job. Also, I have college experience but no degree therefore the pay won't be worth working. If that makes since. Thank you all for support!

Why is it that some ppl don't have to do clear liquid for 2 weeks? Some ppl diet 2 days before surgery? This pre op diet will be the death of me! I can't stick to it. I didn't get this big with health issues eating/drinking Clear liquids. I'm starving. Just as some ppl do drugs... food is my drug... It's a habit that a can't kick. I wish I could just diet 2 days before. I don't see how your liver will shrink in 2 weeks when it took 28 years to get where it's at now??

I believe I just experienced my first dumping.. I just ate a chicken shawarma salad. Not sure what could have done it. Very disappointed since I love these salads.

Ok good glad to here that. -Basically I had rapid heart beat, I was hot and had a b.m..

Has anyone been sleeved and not lost a lot of weight?? I fear I won't lose weight!! I guess my body is slowing down I'm 6wks tomorrow. I feel like I'm not losing weight any more.

Thank you for ur advice. ????

Hi, I was sleeved on 9/11 Surgery weight: 248 Current weight: 215 Goal weight: 125 I could always use encouragement! I'm married, with one 4 year old daughter, and I'm also a SAHM.

I take the Patches... Although my nut said they they aren't compatible. Either I get something out of patches or nothing at all. Every time I take any chew Vitamins I puke. I can't get over the taste, smell, and consistency. I assume they are doing their job.. They are pretty cheap imo $20 for a box of 30 patches. One a day. PatchMD.com

At night when I go to take my meds I get so nauseous... It's unbearable! Does anyone else have this issue? What did you do? I have to take meds. Ps 5 weeks post op

I only have 2 1/2... It just makes me so sick taking them.. I was trying hard last night not to have them come back up. The nausea is the worst part of the whole thing!!! I hate it with a passion!

Does anyone else feel like crap everyday?? I feel like I have something wrong everyday. At night everything hurts... I have no energy. I'm not a home body but since the surgery I do nothing! Ugh I'm to young to feel old.. I Did this surgery to make me feel better and I haven't felt good since!! FML! Ps I'm 5 weeks today.

Thanks ladies for all ur stories. It makes me feel better that each of us go through this.

Anyone get the b-12 shot?? How is it compared to taking the pills? My B-12 doesn't work!

I walk 30-45 mins a day. I am also a teacher, so I am on the move all day. Just getting all my Protein and liquids in everyday. Thank you keep up the good work!

Mine doesn't seem to work. How is that working out??

I went on a cruise at 2 weeks. Went in the salty ocean and pools. My dr said it was fine.

I love my stickers, regardless of what my NUT says... They seem to be party poopers over everything! ????

Are u exercising? That's good progress. I'll be 5 weeks Friday. I'm 30 down. ????

I'm sick of all the foods I can eat. I'm not getting my Protein bc I can't stomach any kind of shake. I'm not getting enough liquids.. Tired of Water, Powerade, Gatorade etc. I feel so weak and tired. No energy! I have just about giving up.
