    So I was having a conversation with a coworker about breast size. She is aware that I am dieting...but that's all. Anyway I shared with her that I was a size 36C before I got pregnant and then started to gain weight 4 years ago. Now I'm in a 48DDD. Yes triple D's. She informed me that I would never be back lower than a DD with sagging boobs. I thought that was a horrible thing to say which is why I didn't share that I had WLS with her to begin with. What she said hurt my feelings a bit. Whatever happened to encouragement. Isn't that free?

    HERE I GO AGAIN = STOP WEIGHING YOURSELF ALL THE TIME YOU ARE GOING TO BE IN A VEST THAT BUCKLES FROM THE BACK WITH PADDED WALLS!

    Enjoy the journey, The goal was to get healthy ... lets put this in perspective go find a 20 pound bag of sand and carry it around all day, Kinda Hard, that is what you have accomplished already you took 20 pounds of fat and unhealthy lifestyle and got rid of it. FYI you body thanks you .... You also are getting more healthy thru proper nutrition!
    I have done this post before - weigh in twice a month but just focus on getting healthy and happy, the weight is going to fall off = No way it can't if you are on plan.
    Enjoy the journey

    Today is exactly 1 month for me and I am down 20 lbs. I feel kinda blah about that. I was definitely expecting more. Most of the weight loss came the first week I lost 12 lbs. So it has been really slow weight loss after that. I thought I understood this whole process but I guess I don't. I am feeling discouraged at the moment. Sorry to ramble along.

    Hi there!!!! I've been on this site here and there. I reside in Atlanta. I was sleeved 3 weeks. So far I have lost 15.4 pounds.....kinda depressed about that. I guess going in looking through the stats of others I thought I would be further along. So for me I kinda used this site as a means of guidance. But I am definitely open to making friends through this tough journey!!!

    Day 5....Guess what?
    I went back to work!!!! I took my Vitamins this morning, sipped on Protein Water on my way to work. I have a desk job so its not at all physical. I was so busy I forgot to eat. Actually I didn't get hungry. I did sip water/ Gatorade zero all day at work so my water intake is good. I didn't need any pain meds. When I got off work I had chicken broth. Tonight I will try to squeeze in a liitle Protein Drink and call it a night.

    Day 4

    So it has now been 4 days since my surgery and I am so much BETTER. I was able to take my Vitamins early with no problem. Actually I can't wait to get off of them and switch to anorher brand because they are so sweet. Anyways I ventured out to Walmart and ended up feeling nausea....not sure why. I continued to walk and sip anyway. I have got to get rid of this gas. But guess what I discovered.....i am getting my recommended does of Water in. So I am happy about that. Protein is another story. Last night I mixed my water with the Premier Protein shake and I seem to tolerate the shake better. So I will do that from now on. Let me tell you all what helped with my nausea....at least I felt like it did..... HOMEMADE chicken broth. Oh my God is was so delicious. I had to remember to go slow but it so sooooo good. So I purchased the plastic container bowl's to store it for my daily lunch/meal. How are you all doing???

    Good morning!
    May I suggest getting up every hour and just walking around the house for a few minutes. This helps to pass the gas and will help you with the pain as well. I wasn't good at doing this and my pain lasted three weeks. As far as getting the Water and Protein down, just take sips, and then wait and then repeat. I have been using a marked water bottle that really helps get my water in. If you continue to have trouble keeping anything down I would contact your surgeons office and let them know. They may have you go in for a swallow test, or something.
    Best of luck on your journey!
    Good advice. Thanks so much!

    Day 3 for me
    I think for me I'm trying to distinguish between actual pain or gas pain. I pulled myself up out of bed and I have been walking. I'm still in pain but I am trying to walk more. I have slowed down on the meds. If I take all the meds they make me sleep, so I decided today not to take the scheduled amount. So I am sitting in the living room today trying to drink Water, walk, and not focusing on the pain. Lets see I took all my Vitamins this morning with no problem. Oh yeah, I'm still only about to keep down Water.

    Also I feel miserably full. From forcing myself to drink water.

    Today is my day 2. Surgery was 10/23/19. I came home from the hospital yesterday and I am in sooooo much pain. I have been drinking Water but thats it. I tried to drink a pre-made premier shake and couldn't keep it down. I also tried to drink a Vitamin water and could not keep it down. I'm not able to sit up. I can only lay prompt up on pillows. I am taking my Vitamins as I write this...so far so good. How long will this pain last. I haven't passed gas yet but I keep beeping alot. Any thoughts

    This is Day 1 for me. I'm still in the hospital hoping to go home. My nurse told me I had to drink 2 bottles of Water before I went home...so I'm struggling with that. For Breakfast I'm having broth. They just gave me Tylenol via IV. So the pain is bearable. Now I am getting ready to walk the halls to help with this gas. I am definitely feeling better today.
