That is one of my frustrations- different answers from everyone. I would pick a professional or group and stick with their advice. If you trust the bariatric nurse and your surgeon stick with them. You'll get a different answer every time you ask someone else! Mich W Hw 223, SW 217 CW 200 GW 135

It's getting close [emoji847] Mich W Hw 223, SW 217 CW 200 GW 135

I browse Pinterest for healthy recipes! I also lurk on bariatric pal and reply to every post I can. Trying to support others. Also I will eat a sf popsicle of in really needing to munch. We keep at least 2 boxes on hand- that way I get liquids and my sweet fix . So far I haven't had more than 3 in one day. Usually 1. Mich W Hw 223, SW 217 CW 200 GW 135

How are you all feeling today? Mich W Hw 223, SW 217 CW 200 GW 135

AuntB- we are on the same page. I was too young to feel this old! I'm 55- when I have grand babies I want to have fun with them! I want to travel and run the globe when I'm retired! I actually have a goal in the back of my mind to do a causetrek and climb the inca challenge In Peru with Compassion International! Im on a plateau but it will break soon. I just finished my first workout with a trainer and it felt great! Small goals to strengthen my core and increase my cardio ability! I too have that recording in my head until I look at my intake... I track every morsel on Spark People. That really helps. Glad to meet you! Mich W Hw 223, SW 217 CW 200 GW 135

Thanks rubia- that sounds yummy! Mich W Hw 223, SW 217 CW 200 GW 135

Thanks so much! I think having kids late in life keeps me young. I'd love to read your book! You look great by the way! Mich W Hw 223, SW 217 CW 200 GW 135

I totally understand. I'm the same with my bmi- I was 40 when I started. Is there a local support group you can attend? My hospital has one that I'm going to try next week. I think some face to face support helps. Let's keep in touch and support each other! Mich W Hw 223, SW 217 CW 200 GW 135

Try popsicles and jello- they count as liquid. My mom used to give me liquid warm jello when I was sick to drink like tea. Maybe that will help.. sf of course. I hope it gets better. Definitely talk with your doc - dehydration is nothing to mess around with! Mich W Hw 223, SW 217 CW 200 GW 135

Im sorry you have been so sick. Protein can be hard to get. I had to get some supplements and add it to everything. I found something called protein boost at the dollar store that has 10 g of protein and it wasn't bad to drink at all. Like the consistency of juice or water. I'm going to go back and get more to have on hand for those particularly hard days. I hope you feel better soon! Keep us posted. Mich W Hw 223, SW 217 CW 200 GW 135

In at week 4 tomorrow. I've lost 23 lbs since the pre op diet but nothing in the past week. It will start up again. I think it's just our bodies getting used to everything and healing. Someone said to me- you've lost an average of 7 lbs a week those first 3 weeks that's awesome- this is a journey for the long haul. I'll bet in another month you will have lost another 15 lbs!

Everything changes with weight loss. I have heard that your whole center of gravity changes. You may need to go to an osteopath or chiropractor to get things realigned. I love my osteopath because she treats the whole body. She can realign my bones and treat the muscles and the rest of the underlying causes for pain. She's my first stop with any kind of medical issues. Mich W Hw 223, SW 217 CW 200 GW 135

Im so excited for today. I got the go ahead to start exercising so I joined the ymca. I have my first training appointment in an hour! I'm hoping this enhances my weight loss and helps me avoid some of the loose skin issues. Mich W Hw 223, SW 217 CW 200 GW 135

Hoping you have a great recovery! Mich W Hw 223, SW 217 CW 200 GW 135

Have you added any probiotics into your regimen? Check with your doc about that of course but my plan says to take probiotics. Maybe that would help with the stomach upset. Just a thought ... Mich W Hw 223, SW 217 CW 200 GW 135

I got genepro but folks on another site said it's not good and they list a lawsuit. I haven't been able to prove that yet. If anyone knows anything about that that can be proven please let me know. I love genepro, but want to make sure it's really 30g of protein. Mich W Hw 223, SW 217 CW 200 GW 135

Thank you for posting I thought it was just me! Mich W Hw 223, SW 217 CW 200 GW 135

Awesome! It will only get better! Mich W Hw 223, SW 217 CW 200 GW 135

I wondered that too. My stall isn't just weight loss but a bathroom "stall" too so I think that could be part of the reason . Mich W Hw 223, SW 217 CW 200 GW 135

I struggled with infertility in my 30's - I lost weight and started ovulating again and was able to get pregnant. That was long before my vsg surgery , but I wanted to encourage you. Being overweight can cause polycystic ovaries and losing weight can resolve that issue. In my case I only had to lose 20 pounds to get my ovaries working again! I now have 4 beautiful kids! Good luck! Mich W Hw 223, SW 217 CW 200 GW 135
