I still after a year only eat 800 to 850 calories a day. You are right it is HARD. You can only do what you can do. No one can ask more than that of us not even ourselves. Praying for all.

Gastric bypass on October 3 2016. I hated both the smell of and the taste of food. It lasted for about four months. The downside is that you don’t meet your protein goals and you may loose your hair. Food tasted sweet to me. Even if you hate to eat you must. I don’t think you can have popcorn. Ask you Nut. Good luck and follow your program and you will get past this phase.

Very well said. We need to stop focusing on the stall and work the program. The weight will come off if you work the program. Good luck to everyone.

I was sick for the first four months after surgery. I think I was just experiencing healing mentally, physically and emotionally. BEST DECISION OF MY LIFE. Gastric bypass on October 3, 2016 HW 353 (April 2016) SW 321 CW 166 (November 2017)

Most of us have experienced these stalls, it will pass. You might be losing inches. Some people increase their exercise. But a stall is a stall IT WILL PASS.

You look great.

You had WLS you are going to lose weight that's guaranteed. While you are waiting, are you getting in your Water and Protein count, looking for receipts for purée and solid food stage and walking. Try to get your mind off losing pounds because you are GUARANTEED to lose the weight. We are all different this is your weight loss journey not your co workers. So come on their is a lot to do on the journeeeyyy. Be encouraged your life began again on November 29th. Wishing you the best. @ krystalb4rny Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

The first 3 days after surgery was painful. I just wanted my meds and to sleep but you need to walk and slip Water as much as you can. Very early 3rd day they toke away the meds I could give to myself so I was more awake still in pain stile walking and sipping. Day four I leave hospital late about 7:30 because my blood pressure was low but it equaled out and I came home. I hurt coming up the steps but I held tight to my pillow no my stomach. You must have a pillow, HEATING pad and abdomen binder. Everyday I get better and with less pain. Today I had no meds and I'm doing fine. Oh after I went to doctor and he remove my staples and draining pouch I was doing good. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
