Thx

It puts air back into your stomach and you're trying to get the air they pumped into your belly during surgery out and it only comes out in two ways. Your mouth or your ass.

I got on the scale today and was two pounds heavier than Monday which is when I usually weigh myself. I'm pmsing and felt really bloated so checked my weight. I've made some mistakes but for the most part have maintained a fairly decent diet. Why am I not losing more weight? I read that some have lost 35 in their first month. Could this mean my surgery isn't working or that I'm doing something wrong? I've cheated a few times but nothing major. Starting: 259 Day of Surgery: 253 Today: 227

Omg I love that response "better than being morbidly obese the rest of my life."

That is workplace bullying and harassment and I NEVER use those words lightly. You need to go above your supervisor and to your HR department with this. That's grounds for dismissal. I actually went over her head but because she removed the video and I couldn't save it, there is nothing they could do about it.

I think my goal was to have it done and get well into my journey before telling anyone. I'm sure people will know soon enough and that's okay but I'm very private and wanted to keep it to myself as long as possible without comments, judgement or people constantly watching me.

I use to drink room temperature water only prior to surgery but now I find myself craving ice and ice cold water. Hoping I'm not anemic but wouldn't be surprised, my vitamin levels are still lacking. Anyone have this craving or a change in certain similar things?

Not sure if I'm allowed to ask such a question but the more weight I lose the more confident I become and the less shit I take from people. Please share if you've experienced similar things.

AmazeBalls!!!

That's awesome and congrats!! I hope to achieve similar goals

Everyone goes through this phase usually in the first month

The older ones are the absolute worse even more so than the younger high school acting grown women

Agreed!

Thank you so much for your replies and yes even the work relationship has been distanced but great answers.

@@Dub you made my day lmao

I'm seven weeks out and had two glasses of white wine this past weekend

7 weeks post op and it's normal not except I confuse menstrual symptoms with stomach issues after surgery

I have BCBS FEDERAL and wonder if this is included, anyone?

While those close to me know my struggles and the decision to have weight loss surgery I work with a bunch of gossipy, unhappy and messy women. I chose not to tell coworkers for that very reason (well two people,) and although it got out and my fellow supervisor hated on me so bad she actually made a video and posted it on social media stating I had weight loss surgery and lied and said my gallbladder was taken out. Actually my gallbladder was taken out at the same time but o chose to keep my journey a secret because of this type of behavior. I'm 37 and never worked with women as such but then again I'm a Cali girl currently living in the country where my husband got stationed. I'm very very private and have no idea how to answer if someone asks how I lost weight. Any suggestions?

I love lipsticklady's response

It's anything that contains sugar and greasy foods. They tell you this prior to surgery. Mine was set off by Starbucks this weekend when I ordered a decaf sugar free vanilla drink which they obviously used regular sugar and it caused me to go into dumping syndrome that was horrible. If all else fails return to liquids and make sure they are sugar free.

My surgery date was 9/1/2015. I took deodorant, toothbrush/toothpaste, panties, and a change of clothes. I also took my iPad and kindle as you get pretty bored although you're not feeling great.

I must be the only person in the world who had their gallbladder removed the same time as sleeve surgery and has had a hard time. Not only did I have severe constipation, my ribs hurt really bad. Now I will say that my surgery date was 9/1/2015 so I am technically only ten days out but the nagging pain in my ribs is annoying and uncomfortable to sleep with. Has anyone not experienced this? My doctor said it was from pulling my fat stomach and gallbladder through muscle and that it would be sore for a while. WHAT'S A WHILE? I want some relief!
