If figured out how to get to the notifications....
Tap the < at the top of the screen twice on the next screen swipe down and < at the top of that screen swipe down and < at the top of this screen. Now you should be able to tap the top right corner and view your notifications. Almost as tricky as getting an approval for surgery.

Sleeved 7/20. Down 44 since surgery, 64 total. Not much difference but I can finally tell in photos something is working!!

Working beyond grief for a better life!

Have lost about 30 pounds since surgery and I will be 8 weeks Wednesday. That means i can go on a regular diet but i will still be taking it extremely slow. i have started writing down everything i eat and calories are around 800 or sometimes closer to 900 but never over that, i just felt like i wasnt getting in enough calories at first, and my fat stays at or below 30 grams and my Protein for a day can range from 60 to 80. i still dont drink two liters of Water a day but i am working on it. Also i was working out but I am in nursing school and i swear i barely have time to even breathe but i am trying to see how i will work some exercise in. Other than that i will say i think i am doing great. There are mostly good days and of course a few that could be better and i am finally starting to get some compliments from people FINALLY after 111 pounds lost people notice! I find that crazy but nobody ever said anything to me about my weight until now. I do not regret the surgery one bit and im glad cause they opened up a krispy kreme not too far from me and honey i would have been all up in there lol, now i cant and im so grateful.

Why no sausage?

What an emotional roller coaster----for me!!
First I was overjoyed for you!!!!!'
Then I was disappointed for you.
Then I was accepting for you.
Then I decided----you're right-----To much information. :0
It is what it is----what it was... Enjoy!

Press on the left three lines, choose goals, then nutrition goals. Also, your carbs could be fruits and vegies. I've seen a number of post op people follow Keto or Atkins type diet plans and do well. Good luck! Sent from my VS990 using the BariatricPal App

A lot of people feel that way about the gym and it's understandable. I used to hate the gym because 1) I felt like everyone was staring at the "fat girl", 2) I didn't know how to use the equipment, and 3) I love the outdoors, but then I got a personal trainer for a few weeks and my anxiety level dropped. First, he got me to realize that no one's really paying attention and if they were and I'm creeped out then tell the workers and they'll handle it. Secondly, he taught me how to use the equipment and developed me a workout routine which included some outdoor activities. Finally, he helped me determine the best time to hit the gym to avoid the crowd. LOL Not sure if any of my issues are the same for you but it's just a thought. As for what to do, the treadmill is a great choice because it gives you that cardio workout but weight lifting will be great to build the muscles and help with tightening/toning the skin some. I had a sleeve before my recent bypass so I had to conquer my gym issues a few years ago. :-)

Also there is The Weight Loss Surgery podcast that is done by a certified family nurse practitioner who specializes in weight loss surgery. It can be found on the web at www.weightlosssurgerypodcast.com or on iTunes at https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/weight-loss-surgery-podcast/id662443588?mt=2 . I have found it really interesting though I've only made it through the first few episodes so far.

It's hosted by a good friend, Reeger Cortell. She's AWESOME!

Meant to say yesterday, Happy 1 month surgiversary 26ers!

Yay! Congrats on loss! I'm exactly 20 lbs down today too. Sent from my VS990 using the BariatricPal App

I make a point of only getting on the scale on Sundays! I get on the scale and then my husband takes all my measurements and I track it in an excel spreadsheet! Don't want to replace my bad food habit with a new habit of being obsessed with the scale!

Yay, we are 4 weeks out. I had my appt yesterday. 20 pounds lost since surgery, 34 total. Gonna take my pics today :/
My doc said GET OFF THE SCALE! You should only be checking it once a week lol.

It looks to me like it got irritated, as you said, it is on your pants line. I would put some neosporin type cream on it and cover it while you have pants on or wear a dress or something that will not rub it.

I can't wait until the 26th of this month, so we can say we are a month post. I am not going to weigh again until then and take some after pics to see if I can SEE a difference. I know my clothes are looser and a couple people have already asked if I was losing, but I don't know if I can tell a difference yet physically.
