Yes, I gifted myself new Art supplies for my new Art Desk and Raycon wireless earbuds so I can listen to an audiobook while painting or drawing and maybe start a You Tube channel or something! (I am out of work due to the Covid thing. I was a Daycare Teacher) I am trying to get inspired to do something new and different with my life and not go back to the old/bad ways from BEFORE 😉😁

I had my surgery 5-21 and since I started my Journey I've lost 82.8 pounds. I'm just wondering if anyone is dating anymore and is it harder after having bariatric surgery? Have a great day!

I really hope to date again, but yea with the whole covid thing, me being in my 40s with a teen son, it might be a challenge. But, I have gone so long without a loving companion, I want to meet someone, chat, get to know them, and when we can, meet in person and maybe have a relationship again! Also, meeting other WLS people would be great because we KNOW what its all about and what we go thru! ❤️ love to all!

Hi everyone, I hope you are all doing well in this craziness we call Covid. I am 4 weeks post op in Connecticut and would really like to meet others in my area! I am in my 40s and would love to chat with people. We are all so isolated these days, It would be fun for a Zoom chat meeting or something where we can share with each other. 🤭

Same here! It started about 2 weeks post op and finally resolve this week (4 week post op) I had the surgical glue, and yes it seemed I had a reaction to it. The incisions themselves were not itchy, just around them were the glue was and then most of my stomach would get hives and rash for about 2 weeks. It was itchy hell. I spoke to the doc and they said to take benedryl. They did not seem concerned either. I just hope I am not allergic to the surgical glue forever now....if I ever do plastics, I will make sure I tell them about the rash 😮😖

I am 4 weeks post op right now and have lost 24 lbs. I hope to see it start going down more, the last week I didn't lose any more. But I am still just begining!

I am having this issue too, I am 4 weeks post op and still not really wanting to do much. I know I should go walking and this week will start going around my neighborhood. Its always been an issue my whole life 😖

So I just got home from my first follow up (I was sleeved on the 24th). They told me over an over to not get upset if my weight loss just stalls in the next two weeks. Apparently this is really common and it’s just the body taking a breath and “catching up”. You’ve had lots of changes in there, you’re not doing anything wrong. You should start losing again soon.

OH whew! thank you, my doc did not say anything like that to me. This makes me feel better

Hi everyone, I have a question. I haven't lost anything really since week 2 post op. What would stall weight loss? Not enough Protein? not enough Water? Not sure which it is because I am struggling with both at the moment. Also, not doing much in the way of exercise might be an issue as well. I am 4 weeks post op now. Any positive suggestions are welcome! Thanks

Also, anyone have issues with the incision where they take the stomach out still bruising? I was watching a comedy show the other night and after laughing hard, that incision was aching abit the bruise got a little more pronounced again....weird.

Me too....is there anyone in New England? LOL

Hi everyone! I had my surgery on Nov. 10th and I am feeling great! On puree diet now and its so much better than the liquids. I was hungry all the time.
