I'm nearly 3 weeks out and am pretty sure I've hit a stall. My first goal is to get under 200 lbs and I've been a pound over it for over a week. So frustrating! Is anyone else experiencing crazy head hunger?

Today makes 5 weeks since surgery and I feel stuck too. I've been sitting at 201/202 for 2weeks. I guess it's normal. It's also discouraging, but hang in there.

I'm so glad it's not just me. I was dead tired when I returned to work last week. I fell asleep at my desk and slept during lunch. My surgery was on Feb 1st and the doctor finally let me have coffee this week. I also started taking Vitamin B12. This week has been better. I think it just takes time.

Oh good! I would just keep making sure that your lungs don’t get worse. Has anyone had any pain on their right side as well? It feels like muscle soreness on both sides.

Omg I took some GasX chewables and the pain is gone!!! Sweet relief! Thanks for the correct diagnosis.

I haven't had any side pains. Are you sleeping wrong?

Did they have you do breathing exercises after surgery? I’m a little sore in the ribcage when I breathe deeply as well. I contribute that to the soreness my lungs felt after they took the tube out. Have you been passing gas regularly?

Yes they did. I still do it at home too. I just wanted to make sure it's normal. Yes, I pass gas regularly.

I'm so sorry that you're struggling. I feel your pain. I am a week post op and I'm experiencing hunger pains even when im not hungry.

Try magnesium citrate for Constipation. I hope it helps. I hated the lemon flavor but the grape is ok.

Anyone having pain in the ribcage area when they inhale deeply?

Also, anyone having non stop hunger pangs/pains even when full? This is affecting my sleep.

Sleeved 2/1/18.

We'r almost twinsies! I was sleeved on 2/1/18. I am so grateful that I can keep down my Protein and all my liquids. My only issues at this point is hunger pangs/pains and lack of bm since before surgery. I'm sure I'll overcome these challenges. I'm just so happy that I haven't experienced any nausea. I think finding this forum will be encouraging. I wish you and everyone continued success on this journey.

Congratulations!!! This is the hardest thing I've ever done so I'm going to Celebrate every pound and inch I lose.
