I went 3 weeks with not a pound lost. I lost so much the first month that my body was probably just adjusting. I've again not lost anything the last 4 days, even though I wear a Fitbit, exercise & track my food. I just have to trust this process. It will all be ok!

I like the idea of knowing that my body is taking the time to reorganize itself it totally makes sense..?

Hi from one of the other "O"s, Ohio, glad to see Cala you're doing pretty good a little,more than a month out. Sure hope you do find a few more State Peers!

Too many factors control if your loss is fast or slow.
I’m 5’5” High weight 254 current weight 133. My weight loss was fast. Six months is not the norm. Size 4 pants – Small/medium shirts.

I've not had any other complications. No nausea or vomiting. I had no idea my little stomach didn't make acid... I will do some research on ulcers. The only food I can eat that doesn't hurt that I have found so far is home cooked beans. Thanks for taking the time to read my post. ?

Goodness you really need to get them down. Is there anything you can keep down that you can put them in? Iced coffe (my nut says iced latte with milk is ok) pudding anything that is really yummy...as long as it doesnt hurt to to eat like dumping or cramps you may want to. You are at a stage you can eat most foods as long as they are chewed well. Keep us updated.

Had surgery April 8..things have been Awesome!!!! Been on regular food 2 weeks now, back to the pool a week now..none of my clothes fit but not ready to buy new ones yet ( have a few basics stashed from years ago) not super excited about the weight loss as but the energy I have and the chronic pain is gone. I am so happy I did this.

Depends on the antibiotics. I don't think if it's Cipro of Fluorquinalones that you can take them with milk or even with calcium?

Sorry you are going through this! C-diff is the infection from Satan's spawn!

Seekind an opportunity to get together

Hi Tracydawn, I am also 5 ft. I had GS surgery December 2018. Almost 4 1/2 months out now - I have lost 72 pounds. I am very strict (nothing processed) three small meals a day with no snacking. I walk every day. Very active with my business. Eat out regularly for business lunches usually ordering a small salad or shrimp cocktail (can only eat three shrimp) etc. And, of course, lots of water and I enjoy hot decaf tea with 1% milk later in the evenings. I don't experience stalls and very happy about my pace. I suspect there are others who loose slower or faster... So, I don't compare. Every body is different. The key for me has been to eat a variety of healthy, high quality nutrition fresh as possible and remain well-hydrated. The water is imperative to flushing out fat deposits, and I believe keeping my body on a steady downward course. You seem to be doing really well according to your stats. It will be an exciting ride! Continued success with each passing day toward your goal of 130! My goal too. Maybe by December 2019? :]

My bypass was June 21st 2018. I started at 227 and now weigh 133. Honestly I don't want to lose anymore seeing I am 5"2. I eat what I want just cant eat much. I never seem to get hungry or at least not the hungry I've always been used to all my life. I have more energy than I've had in years and love being able to wear smaller cloths.
I do have daily diarrhea no matter what I eat or how much. I hope this isn't something I'll have to deal with the rest of my life.
Best of luck to you!!

I too get super bad cramps and have chronic pain i took gabapetin to turn down my sensitivity. As for cramps i decided 2 days a month was worth 28 days of being pain free and having more energy. I havent taken anything for pain in 7 months and no more gabapetin 4 wks post op now.

Tape measure out- stretched out sweats Bye Bye- sounds like a Good Game plan for TODAY!

My surgeon said anything larger than the tip of a pencil eraser had to be crushed, or broken in half.
