My before and after 60 lbs down. My health is better and my legs don't hurt anymore when I walk. The weight is coming off slowly but its going. I went for my 6 month check and the doctor is happy with my results. He would like for me to drop another 20 lbs by August. I'm happy I got the procedure done.

This past month has been so stressful. I haven't lost a single pound. I have been the same size since Feb 10th. I stopped getting on the scale. I started counting my calories again. I'm only consuming about 500 - 700 per day. I don't snack. I get my protein but I am struggling with my water. My doctor wanted me to drop 30 lbs in 3 months. I guess it has to be 2 months now because month 1 was a fail Sent from my Galaxy Note 9

I think you're doing great and I think you're on track. Our results are the same. I was 209 the day of surgery (10/29) and now I'm 178. I only lost 31 lbs. I workout and eat right but our bodies just do as it feels. I was stuck in the 180's for so long I started to feel sad about it and then Sunday I got on the scale and was 4 lbs lighter. I had to watch my carbs. My NUT said I should only have 20 grams of carbs per day. I was having more than that. I changed my carbs and 4 lbs came off. Check to see if you are eating to many carbs and if so change it for a few days to see if that helps Sent from my Galaxy Note 9

Are you getting all your protein? My surgeon said my hair would start to fall out if I don't get the required amount of protein every day. So far I'm getting around 80 - 90 grams per day Sent from my Galaxy Note 9

I started feeling pain in my largest incision 3 weeks after surgery. The pain still comes and goes. The doctor said it's from my muscle healing from the surgery and the deep stitches in that incision. It would hurt when I cough, stretch and even stand straight up to fast. It doesn't hurt as much now but I will get a sharp pain sometimes

I took Miralax this morning with 4 oz of warm water. It worked great. Great meaning I had a BM within 30 minutes. I was back up a few weeks as well. Maybe now my scale will move.

I had my surgery the same day as you. My larger incision still hurt as well. I spoke with my surgeon Tuesday, he said that incision still hurt because it has deep stitches. Mine hurt when I lay on it or if I use my stomach muscles to sit up. Sometimes it will have a little throbbing pain but it not so bad. I'll wait a little longer for it to heal
