MeJ got a reaction from Daisee68 in No weightloss
I'm going through the exact same thing...u r not alone. I lost 10lbs pre op and 10lbs my first week ...Nothing since then and I'm now 3 weeks out. 20lbs in a month is a lot so I figure my body is catching up. I'll weigh in a few weeks.

MeJ got a reaction from Christina_rny. in 2 MONTHS OUT HARDLY NO WEIGHT LOSS[emoji26]
You should track everything you eat for a week and set up an appointment with your nutritionist. Also flip your thoughts around instead of I've only lost xx say I'm so happy I've lost xxx that may switch up your energy so that u can release more weight good luck to you

MeJ got a reaction from snokb04 in Did you loose friends?
I lost support from my sister/best friend I didn't tell her I was having the surgery. Your friend will find out I say wait until u r approved and have set your date then ask for her support. You don't need any negative energy right now. Prepare for her response it could go either way. This is your journey not your friends. Best of luck to you.

Isn't stressing about the 'what ifs' just gonna cause the 'what ifs' to happen??
Relax mate...
Focus on the great job you're doing NOW...
If the other stuff happens, you'll deal with it...
You already know you can deal with all sorts of sh*t..
Good luck to you...

MeJ reacted to Kindle in How long did you take off work? Non desk job
I had surgery on a Friday, back to work Thursday. I'm a vet tech and work 10 hour shifts. On my feet all day, walking, bending, squatting, kneeling and lifting. Lab work, surgery assist, holding dogs, carrying cats, wrangling horses, wrestling goats and pigs. I had a 20 pound lifting restriction for 3 weeks so we didn't schedule any large animal appointments or big dog surgeries during that time. Back to lifting 40-60 pound at day 21.
I had no problems other than being pretty tired at the end of the day. I was on a full liquid diet for the first 18 days so I just made sure to have plenty of fluids at work to constantly sip in between appointments. I added pureed fruit to my Protein smoothies and that really helped with my energy level.

MeJ reacted to bigmamaAfrica in 1 Week After - Back to Work!
I'm scheduled for my Sleeve tomorrow morning. I live and work in Kenya which is in Africa. I work full time so I'm only getting 5 days off and will be back at work next week.
Im a banker, so mainly desk duties.
Hoping to have the same energy and post op experience as you!
