Newbie & 1st stall
My surgery was 12/29. I have been stalled for 15 days and thinking this is going to last a bit longer. I have pushed myself the past two days to eat more so I'm up to 800-900 calories. Are you walking also? I'm a bit tired still but got 7k steps in yesterday, which is about 2k more than normal. Sent from my SM-G973U using BariatricPal mobile app

January 2021 anyone?
I so identify with that! I cried on the way to the surgery center and questioned my decision. Not the best time to question big life decisions lol. I worked through some of the fear and grief of losing food in the last couple of days. I'm doing SO well now! I'm two weeks post op tomorrow. You can do this! I am here if you need anything. Hugs

College Student - Gastric Bypass during semester?
Are you able to work ahead at all? I just had my surgery between semesters and can't imagine having to do school work in the first week postop. Give yourself a week to be safe. Sent from my SM-G973U using BariatricPal mobile app

Incisional Scars and Creams?
Doterra makes CorrectX that I bought for my surgery scars. There are also other essential oil concoctions that the hardcore essential oil crowd mixes together. I recommend a Facebook group or pinterest to find the recipe. Sent from my SM-G973U using BariatricPal mobile app
