I just bought it, not the best tasting but it only taste yucky for a few min. I'm really bad at taking my vitamins and find that it's much simpler to do it all at once. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

Need help getting back on track as well. I started out awesome and I've only list 72 pounds in 9 months. I was going to the gym at least 3 times a week. One of my problems is that I commute to and from work over 140 miles a day. So it's so easy to make excuses on why I can't get to the gym. But one of the things I've noticed is that I'm ratting more than 4oz at a time. How do I reset my pouch. I've done so well that I need to think of me again. Any suggestions would be awesome.

I was back in 2 weeks. I think it all depends on you and the type of work you do. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App

I'm sorry I should know this but what does it mean when people sY they have reached Wonderland or is it Onederland I'm not sure. Also, any suggestions on taking in Water. I'm very dehydrated and know I'm not drinking nearly enough water during the day. As a matter of fact there are some days when I have none just coffee.

So I'm so confused at times if I'm doing the right things. I work with a couple of people who have had the same surgery so of course were always comparing. I'm the newbie of the group so I'm always asking questions. I'm 0 weeks post op and have list 45 pounds. One of the things I'm always questioning is the amount of food I'm consuming throughout the day. For the most part I try to weigh everything but there are times I can't. But I seem to always seem to want to eat about every 3 hours is that normal. I don't eat a lot but I'm always snacking on something primarily cheese. That's the other thing I have crazy cravings for coffee, cheese and sea food like shrimp or crab. Anyone else have crazy cravings since surgery Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App

Wow that's amazing. I'll need to try that. I just really makes my stomach hurt when I drink to much at one time. So it's slow slow sip sip l. Thanks for your feedback is appreciate it. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App

I do. As well as the Vitamin b and energy Patches. I love them. I just went to do my first round of blood work so I'll know next Saturday if they are working. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App

Well I'm pretty sure I'm meeting the Protein but not the Water. Even before surgery I was a horrible water drinker. I really do try. I always have water at my desk but then come the end of the day and I realize I drank almost nothing Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App

That is so awezome. Keep up the fantastic job Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App

I'm 8 weeks post-op it gets a bit easier. I was pretty depressed my first week, I was thinking what the heck have I done. And I cried over everything. But it will pass and as you start feeling better everything will to. And yes my first bite of mashed potatoes tasted soooo good. Today I actually get to start with solids do happy. But I did find that I still went to the soft foods. Best of luck Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App

I'm at 2 months and also have stalled for approximately 2 weeks. Everyone has told me that it's normal. So whT I finally had to do for myself is stop the weighing everyday because I am obsessive with that. But also just had to tell myself that as long as I'm doing everything right it will come. Also I noticed I'm losing inches rather than pounds. Good luck Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App

I had my surgery almost 3 months ago now and so far I have lost a total of 47 lbs since the actual surgery date. I feel like I haven't lost enough or that I'm doing well. I feel ok and at first I was losing weight consistently but now I've been stuck at 189 for the past 2 weeks. I admit I haven't been able to get as much exercise as I should being that I leave my house at 530am and don't get back home until 730pm sometimes later. Everyone compliments me and says that I look good and can tell I have list weight. Any ideas. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App

I thank you all for the advice. Please know it's not that I'm wanting a miracle I know that's not the case. But Ijust wanted advice as to if this was normal. I work with 2 other ladies who have also had the surgery and know that everyone is different as well. But since this is new for me I just didn't know if it was the norm. And partly because I know the doctor expects to see some weight loss when I go back in two weeks. I have lost 14 pounds in 6 weeks so again wasn't sure if that was the norm. I appreciate Lloyd the comments

Babbs thank you so much for this chart this makes me feel a lot better about myself. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App

I too feel like I haven't lost enough weight I'm 3 months out too and have only lost 47 lbs. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App

I haven't lost as much as you but I too am always freezing. I'm generally a warm person but not anymore. I guess that's pretty normal. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App

I heard that almond butter is better. Any thoughts Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App

So I'm on soft foods for another 2 more weeks. However, I have been trying some other foods such as spaghetti squash, salmon, tuna etc. And I've been good. But for the most part I drink Protein shakes, eat Jello, Soup, cottage cheese, yogurt etc. The problem though is I don't feel satisfied and find myself getting hungry within 2 hours is that normal. Also, I've been getting this strange sharp pain in my upper chest that just hits hard and goes away. The funny thing is that when I feel this pain it seems to hurt straight down to my groin area. I know right? Maybe it's all in my head. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App

I probably not doing enough protein. I have one shake in the morning and some yogurt in the afternoon and a string cheese as a snack. dinner is usually soup or oatmeal or cottage cheese. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App

So I'm 7 weeks post surgery and was wondering if it would be ok to have a small salad or not. Not sure how that would work but so far I have tried little things here and there and so far so good. I have lost a total of 40 pounds. My only concern that I'm having is that I tend to have this little bit of pain coming down from my belly button area but only when I go to sit down is this normal.
