Well first off I love your name!! Lol I was born in long Island. Moved away when I was real little unfortunately though...but yeah I am right with you too, I have been at a stall to I guess, seems like forever though like around 4 weeks. I've actually only lost a total of 37lbs though!!! Which is wayyy less than I expected:( I also have been going through ALOT here at home though...I'm married to a a very mentally abusive guy and have zero friends or family but still I should be trying harder to lose the weight.

Nope, if you go through it you just go through it....and it is not fun! Lol just try really hard not to go through it lol don't eat too much sugar or fatty foods.

Trust me you are doing great. I had surgery in June and I've only lost 40:( idk what to do!

Oh it is rough at first that's for sure but trust me it will get better! I actually wish I could go back to eating two bites and being done lol bc I'm at 4 mo ths post op and can eat almost anything and any amount lol I do get that dumping syndrome which really sucks sometimes but when it passes your all good. It's my own fault though.

I am right there with you. I just passed my 4 months and I am so ashamed of myself for not trying harder...I've literally only lost 40 pounds! I'm at 262 this morning and I just don't know what to do anymore. I just started working this desk job and before I was a stay at home mom so I'm even more mad at myself that I didn't take advantage of the time I had off to exercise bc now I'm literally stuck in a chair for 8.5 hours a day and when I get off I have a crazy kid schedule and it's all about them and not me so no time to do anything. But I know that I gotta find the time somehow and do me! It's just so hard sometimes you just wanna give up and eat every thing in the house! [emoji20] I really thought I would lose like 100 pounds at least but it's just not happening and feel like I've missed a huge opportunity to get it off! Well anyways, I'm glad you got yourself mad and committed yourself! You will do great with the right mindset! I gotta try to get there myself lol

I am right there with ya! I am 7 ¹\² weeks out and I'm only down 16 lbs. I'm just blah at this point and don't know what to do either. I am 37 years old and should be able to do wayyyy more than I do. I really thought that with this surgery it would change that but my legs knees hips feet back just everything still hurt after just a lil bit if housework. I mean yeah I can do more technically than what I was prior to surgery but I guess I had my hopes up high bc I'm not where I wanted to be at this point. I guess we just got to keep on keeping on...and not give up and just try our best to be as healthy as we can be.

Wow, I am so sorry to hear this. I can't imagine being that close to it and then it being taken away:( I am so sorry. But don't lose hope! I agree with the person who mentioned the cobra too. Or even the financing if at all possible. Or even try for state insurance if unable to do the others, not sure exactly if they do it in your area but I know they do in Tennessee with the right company. So if you go that route make sure you do your research first so they put you in the right plan. Good luck to you!!! ♡

So how are you feeling now? Better I hope..

Thank you everyone! I have some purchasing to to now lol I have been slacking with the protein lately I got to get back into a good routine. I basically only have one shake a day so that's only 30 grams. Ugh.

Has anyone ordered their unflavored protein powder from Walmart? I found one I think would be good but just thought I'd see what everyone said on here first..

Hey guys, thanks for helping me out. I know I probably should have went to the hospital but I didn't get sick again after I posted that last one. I am sure I'll here from my dr tomorrow though so I'll see what he says. I had my in laws down this wknd so I didn't get a chance to do any research but I'd assume I'm okay if it hasn't happened again right? Or am I just being dumb and need to still be seen? Ugh idk..I feel fine ever since yesterday evening... so I'd think I'm okay...I can eat food again with no major issues so idk I will keep you guys posted on what happens tomorrow or this week on if the dr decides to see me. Thanks:)

So I have been vomiting blood! I called Dr office and left message with answering service. They called me back and it was a dr I didn't know standing in for my dr. She suggested prilosec bc it could be an ulcer. When I called I had only thrown up once today with blood. Well now I've thrown up since I've been home about 4x and all have deep red color still. She said something about basically resting the rest of the wknd taking it easy on foods and that shed let my dr know what was going on and that I may need an endoscopy. My daughter just got home from buying the prilocec for me and I am Literally scared to try to swallow it. I barely even ate anything at the restaurant too and didn't even get a sip outta my water....I am so upset. I had to run out and threw up in my car! Not the way I wanted to start the wknd! Ughhh! I am like an hour away from their emergency room too idk if I should go or not since I have thrown up since talking to her. Any suggestions?

Thanks! I have been all the way up to 319 at one point probably about 2 and a half years ago but when I started with my surgeon in Feb, I was 299.5 and day of surgery was 291. And this morning I was 276.0 so idk I know I haven't EXACTLY been eating quite the way I should though which I'm mad at my self for but at the same time its so hard bc I do still crave the thi gs I shouldn't have. Plus, my family all eats terrible and I mean TERRIBLE so that doesn't help me either[emoji19] but when I do eat kinda bad it's not like THAT MUCH ya know? So idk I guess I just gotta keep on... keepin on! Lol Thanks for the info and help dear![emoji4]

Hi! Just wondering if anyone on here was near the Nashville area? I live in Burns, TN and could use amsome friends that "get it" lol ya know the new lifestyle etc etc. I moved here about a year and a half ago from Port Charlotte FL and have made some friends but just curious if anyone on here (who understands this whole lifestyle change) was in the area.... I had the RNY June 14th 2021 and am losing some weight but not as much as I hoped. I know everyone loses different but just still a tad concerned. I've lost 15lbs and I will be 6 weeks out on Monday. Anyone have any thoughts on this? I don't exercise so I'm sure this is my own fault but I'm so so tired all the time. Lol

I am 5 weeks out from bypass and I get hunger pains too but the worst is for some reason I never threw up up until now. I've thrown up 3x in the last 5 days. I think it's bc I ate too fast and too much:( so just dont do what I did lol
