It's very hard and I'm only a month out. Are you taking your Vitamins everyday? I take all my vitamins and I take 10,000mgs of Biotin a day praying my hair doesn't fall out so bad. I have been going to the gym everyday. I have been doing my 30'mins, did 45 mins last night and I think I may have over done it. But it felt great at first lol. I'm praying I can lose another 25 lbs before I go back to Dr Ross. There is this amazing app you may already know about it but it reminds me everyday about my vitamins and tracks my Protein in take it's really good and helps keep me on track! I really didn't lose anything before surgery but my sw was 286.6 and now I'm 261. It's really hard and even harder when you have a family to feed as well, but I'm learning and just taking it one day at a time and trying to turn the time I use to spend eating doing my Bible Study. I know i wouldn't of been able to do without surgery. I had tried everything and I would lose some but then I would gain it all back, so I Thank God I was able to have surgery and I'm just trying to make the best of my "tool"

My concern is UV rays on the incision areas. Maybe keep those spots covered.

I'm not offended nor am I a food addict, but some people are. Thats just the way it is. For some it isn't an excuse. It's a struggle for everyone it's not the same. I ate like I was supposed to. Straws on the other hand I used one by accident and panicked because surgeon said don't do it but didn't say why. Called my dr but until they called back I asked others. Only to be told by the dr office, oh some people have issues with straws but if you don't it's ok. Not everyone has a "jerk" to keep them in line either. Just a thought if your tired of seeing the same post over and over why bother to waste time reading them or precious time venting a post.

My boyfriend/ now fiancé was so against it but respected my decision. He was worried about the surgery itself and let's just say food is a big part of our life. With that being said. I'm 2 weeks post op. He is my biggest supporter and my accountability. food is still a big part of our life. We still go out, socialize. I just eat differently. I still cook and love to bake. He gets to enjoy my new recipes. It's not always about them scared of loosing you in a relationship stand point. He was just plain scared.

People often ask me what's it like post op. I'm almost 4 months out. My explanation. Have you ever been around a baby when it's being fed? Yep that's me. They eat one bite yay, then the second. If my tummy decided it didn't like the first, even if it did 100x before. You guessed it out it comes. So the story of my new life. Finally able to eat eggs and sausage for a few weeks. The inside of a sausage burrito from McD's. This morning "roo" my pouch says nope I no longer like that. After working a 10 hour shift at one client on my way to a 5 hour client now I just want to go home and hug my specially devoted trash can. Ugg.
So I regret my decision, not one bit, but some "roo" cooperation would be nice

Im the same way if I eat below or at 700 stall city. If I get 800 I loose weight. That just seems so weird but hey I'll take that. Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App

If you don't already know, you can easily track your calories, carbs, Protein, sugars at myfitnesspal.com
It's real easy to use and adds everything up for you.
Like blizair09, I have been tracking all of that since the beginning. Actually started with my pre-op diet two weeks before surgery.
You are going to want to know how many calories you are getting in, because the further you get out, it might be real useful for example, if you stop losing weight. In my case, I stopped losing weight and talked to my nutritionist and she told me that I was not getting in enough calories. I was always under 600 calories a day (at about 6 weeks post op). I had to make some adjustments to get in more calories. Now I am back to losing weight again after weeks of not losing weight.
