Not this being the most precious and pure thing I've ever heard.
As precious as you can be while also weightlifting that is 👀.

I relied on a heating pad for my back and 1000mgs of liquid Tylenol every 8 hours.
Walking will help, especially if you're walking uneven terrain, the little bumps help to move it along. Also, I paid my little siblings to give me massage haha and it works!

UPDATE:
🥳✨MY STALL HAS BEEN OFFICIALLY BROKEN!!! ✨🥳
I miraculously lost 3 pounds over the course of three days and the ounces are on a steady decline as well (so far no regain).
Things that changed:
I had a sudden uptick in activity this week and walked a combined 10 hours (NYC baaaaby).
I upped my Protein (though hardly at goal of 64 grams).
I ate considerably more food at regular times.
and...
I didn't weigh myself until today 😁.
I hope anyone else stalling right now is able to break it soon! It's been 2-ish weeks for me and while not fun it made me focus on my nutrition/lifestyle rather than weightloss.

I'm 24 (F) with no comorbidities and I went RNY because my sister had VSG 3 ish years ago and her weightloss has all but stalled. Also, I have 130-ish lbs to lose. Many factors played into this choice. I factored in my work (academia aka student for life i.e. sedentary M-F) and lifestyle (mostly active on weekends), and we decided that the RNY would be the best tool for me.
I'm only 3.5 weeks out so I can't offer an educated opinion on my choice (especially during a stall), but if you have a lower BMI then I would say VSG is much more accommodating and still quite effective. However, there aren't as many long term studies on VSG so 7-10 years out is no man's land.

I'm so sorry you got sick. I hope it passed fast. That sounds just awful.
Horrible admission...
I clicked on this post because I thought it said "dumpling" and I was like....someone has a healthy dumpling recipe? Do tell! Yep...food addict till the end. Oye.
Please feel better.

Me too!

Add me to your cheering section!

I'm rooting for you.

I had my Gastric Bypass surgery in August 2019, surgery was a breeze but have suffered with sickness and nausea for the last year but due to Covid haven’t been able to see my surgeon. Was prescribed Odensetron which helps somewhat. But regardless of the sickness and not being able to keep foods down I do not regret having it done at all. Have lost over 140lbs . Before and after pics attached

I have vivid food dreams too but they're not dreams of longing, they're nightmares! 😂 I'll dream that I threw all my commitment to the wind and ate ridiculous amounts of all the worst food. And that means I'm going to gain all my weight back. I'm so sad and disappointed and then it's such a relief to wake up and know that it never happened! I think it's just my sub-conscious expressing my fear that I won't be able to maintain and I'll regain all my weight.

No hopes! Only guarantees! We can swap pics when we get there 💪

I'm 5 days post-op and in too much pain to be hungry, but last night I had the most vivid food dream. I was at a vacant apartment but on a table in the apartment was a sandwich I used to make with all of the fixings. Needless to say I ate the entire thing. But, I was post-op in my dream too so I panicked and raced to the store to buy a Protein Shake?
It was apparently Christmas time so I bought an Isopure advent calendar because my dream logic said to counteract the effects of junk food I need to chase it with Protein? Then the dream ended with me opening each day to reveal a new flavor of protein shake.

Right!!! My personal style has always been minimalist so body (read:bawdy) has been a huge focal point for my personal style. That black dress is EVERYTHING.

I have clear visions of what I want to wear! The world better not let me lose weight before the sun comes out because I barely wear clothes as it is 😂

They do taste more sweet!!! And particularly worse in Protein Shakes.
I know this is insane but I've been taking shots of the powder and then washing it down with water...yikes.
We're at the finish line so I'm forcing myself to stay on the straight and narrow until Monday. We can do it!

In pain at the hospital, but yesterday was worse. I hope the rest of you 02/22 people are doing well. I'm able to sip and walk around just fine though! They weren't kidding about the gas, it's more painful than the incisions to be honest.

I had my surgery on Friday 2/19. All went well, almost no pain but the gas is no joke! I've been home since Sunday and I'm doing good with my liquids. Last night I had a dream about candy and cake! So weird but I guess that's what I'm going to miss the most. I hope your pain subsides quickly and that you're able to go home soon.
