I was really lactose intolerant after surgery but now Im six months post op and can do lactose again. Hopefully its the same or similar for you. Sent from my SM-G920I using the BariatricPal App

I started my journey on July 1st at 135.6kg. Lately the weight loss has slowed down and I've had a couple of stalls....but I'm SO close to being under 100kg and it's dragging out painfully slow!! I really thought today was the day and I jumped on the scales only to find I'm 100.0kg. I am really pleased with my progress, don't get me wrong, but the last 3 or 4kg is the slowest of anything so far and being under 100kg is a huge psychological hurdle for me. *sigh* Has anyone else had this??

Hot rollers rule! You can get some pretty awesome perms these days too. Not the old 80's spiral, but it would be worth talking to a stylist if it really gets to you.

My surgeon told me to write myself a note and put it somewhere I'd see to remind myself that 2-3 weeks post-op the weight loss would stop. It's totally normal and just the body taking a moment to recalibrate after such a significant weight loss. It will kick in again soon. Just give your body a chance to sort itself out. It's all good.

I know what you mean....I keep having urges for the most random things! Lol

Congrats on your achievement so far! My surgeon told me to write myself a note and put it somewhere I'd see it regularly that 2-3 weeks following surgery my weight loss would stop. He said it's the body taking a moment to sort of recalibrate itself after such a big loss so quickly. It's nothing worry about and totally normal. It will kick back into gear again soon.

I had mine the 29th good luck we are very close with our dates Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App Same to you! How are you feeling?

I slept like a log the first two days. I was very groggy day one, I had to get the surgeon to tell me everything again on day two because I couldn't remember. Day two I felt good but just couldn't keep my eyes open! Lol. Luckily there was a TV in my room so my lovely husband had something to do while I slept.

Yes I'd taken a book to read and colouring in stuff (as you do) but have spent the majority of the time dozing with the TV quietly on in the background. have been discharged now, day three, and am headed home to heal. Thanks for the support guys! Xx

Surgery is done and dusted and apart from some discomfort and nausea day one, I'm feeling pretty good now....just exhausted.

You have the same date as me! I'm bypass though. Mine is the first too!!!!! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I257 using the BariatricPal App Me too!!

Wow, awesome results!! Thank you for your honesty it's so great having this network of people to reach out to. Wow, awesome results!! Thank you for your honesty it's so great having this network of people to reach out to.

Good luck!! I'm a week today and getting nervous! Lol. Love to hear how you're feeling over the next couple of days:)

Hi guys, This time next week I will be in hospital recovering from my bypass. I'm doing my best to stay relaxed and calm but the nerves are starting to set in. Any words of wisdom from you guys who have been through it or anyone else feeling the same? What are the first couple of days like? Thanks in advance.
