My meds kept working until about 40 lbs down... Then my body changed and I had to change my meds... It's not a big deal... Still the best decision I have made!!!

There's probably hormones involved in the anxiety. It's not unusual for alcohol to become an issue post WLS. Did you work with a therapist or Psych pre-op? I'd make an appointment to discuss both the anxiety and potential alcohol addiction. Keeping you in my prayers! Stay strong, Dave!

Thank-you! As you know it is a tough battle but, one step at a time.... I hope to lose another at least 30... I'm only a few months out so hopefully, it will keep coming off!! Thanks for your support!!!

Walking was the only thing that helped me... Walk an hour each day and by the 3rd day it should be almost gone...

I am surprised that you are eating noodles, this early post op. The post op emphasis is on good quality Proteins, and not carbs that can bloat you up and make you feel sick.
Your body is clearly showing that it can't handle noodles. Got to listen to your body, as it will react to foods it can't tolerate or digest.
How about soft, poached salmon with cheese sauce, Chobani yoghurt with Protein powder, a soft boiled egg, chicken mince with cheese sauce, cream cheese, soft veggies like zucchinis in small amounts.
I used to stew apples to add into my yoghurt.
There are many good Proteins to have, instead of carbs that not only will stall your weight-loss, but make you ill as well.
Good luck, I hope you can start eating soft/moist proteins and feel much better!

I have been having shoulder pain for a couple of months. I guess it started about 5 months post op. With no clear reason why. Somedays I can't move my arm above my head other days it barely hurts. Not sure if it's WLS related but it's aggravating.

I have never posted pictures on here because I never wanted to put out what I used to look like as I am no longer that person. I am a new person but have come to terms that I wouldn't be who I am today if I hadn't lived life as a larger person. I also know that when I started out looking at other people's pictures were such at motivation for me so I am hoping these will help someone in return. The picture of me at my largest was after I had my son. I had lost a significant amount of weight before my day of surgery which is the pic of me looking grumpy and in pain.

It is common but, I didn't think it would last this long... I'm back to work and fairly active.... I know my body is still changing but dang, I'm ready for energy!!!! Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App

The doctors office should have people that deal with the insurance company... a few things that the doctor may make you wait on is if you still use tobacco..... some even require caffeine to be out of the system.... another thing that will hold you up is if your weight goes up from your initial weigh in.... I had my surgery on June 7th.... luckily everything has gone smoothly... good luck with your journey...
