I recently had shoulder surgery so i have limited on what i can do to exercise. I have noticed that i have been feeling down and not eating the right foods. And have gained 11pounds. I need to know how i can get back on track and loss the weight?

So, I have decided that before my 40th Birthday there are a few things I would like to do, one of which I have registered to complete on October 21, 2017 and that is a 5K walk. I am currently 10 weeks post-op and with my surgeon and PCP's blessing I was given the okay to start training for that event. I have turn over a completely new way of living and that is for the better. Do not get me wrong I still have some bumps in this journey but I will not allow for those bumps to define me. I will continue to keep you all posted on my journey and wish nothing but the best for each and everyone of you.

I just wanted to update things. Friday, July 28, 2017 was yet another rough day. I ended up making another trip to the ER as I was vomiting bile (no one seems to know what the problem is and it is getting frustrating). So I had a follow-up appointment with my surgeon this morning, and he and I decided that it would be best to do a scope to look and see what is actually going on. So I was able to schedule that procedure for tomorrow. We are both very optimistic that we will be able to figure this out and get me the relief I so deserve. I will continue to keep those following me updated. Thanks again.

Thank you, Nene; I had the Sleeve done on May 31, 2017. At 2 AM this Monday Morning I was on my to the ER in so much pain, I recall telling one of my nurses there that I wasn't in that much pain after I had my surgery. I feel like for ever 2 steps I take forward I am being push 7 steps back. I understand that I am only 8 weeks out, but I was not excepting this much problems. I'm too a point where I don't have the desire to even eat. I hope that my doctors can figure this all out really soon. I wish you the best of luck in your journey as well, and will keep you posted

July 26, 2017 As of today I am eight (8) weeks post-op. In these short eight (8) weeks I have to say that my emotions regarding this surgery have been up and down. There are days that I can honestly say that this was the best decision I have ever made. Then there are days like this past week including today, where I sit and ponder the idea, "Was this worth the frustration that I am faced with right now"? See, when I was released from the hospital on June 1, 2017, I knew something wasn't quite right. But they insisted I would be fine once I got home. Well, they were wrong, I ended up back in the hospital that night due to severe dehydration. But once I was able to come home after another night stay I never felt better in my life. Now I am having issues of lower right abdominal pain and not able to move my bowels, and it is literally making me physically sick. No matter what I do, take, nothing is helping and as of today I am not able to eat without vomiting (sorry for being so graphic), but I need to tell my story. I mentally do know that this decision was the right decision for me, but physically and emotionally I am not quite sure. I have a follow-up with my PCP on Thursday, July 27, 2017. I honestly could not have ask for better PCP, she is so caring and concerned that she has her staff call me just see how I am felling. I just hope that between herself and me as well as my surgeon we will be able to figure this all out. So that I may continue on the right path of healthy weight loss, as well as enjoying this new journey that I have bark upon. Weight Loss Pictures.docx Weight Loss Pictures.docx
