Only 9 pounds almost 4 weeks post op
GiGi 1970 replied to GiGi 1970's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Thank you so much! My surgery was 11/26. I've lost 17 pounds. I have not gotten my daily walks in like I should. I need a new hip and back surgery. But using a glider 3 days a week.fkr about 15 minutes at a time. I walk in the house and making sure I'm up every 15 minutes for some reason. I'm an older woman that's 5'3 and now 219. Nov 3rd I was 247. I lost 10 pounds before surgery. You took so much time to explain it to me thank you. I'm at another stall. And the wonderful constipated! I take the bariatric fission and have had nothing but dark green stools since surgery.. Sent from my SM-A716U using BariatricPal mobile app -

It took me a while to get all the water in. I measure the protein I'm supposed to have for the day. At this point I'm not sure of anything! I keep second guessing it all. My friends all had this surgery and lost 20 to 40 pounds the first month. Yes I'm older and can't walk that much with a bad hip. I'll just keep trying. I'm gonna write my nurse tomorrow. I just don't know what else to do. I need to start logging everything. I just don't have the time or mental energy with my mother needing all my time. Good luck to us!

I'm worried because I didn't log anything! Taking care of my hospice mother and my husband thought now was a good time for a puppy! I started second guessing myself. Did I eat to soon before the 14 days. Am I eating to much. I do know now my smoothies are to thick. I just found out that it is supposed to be as thin as mill. I hope I didn't cause this to be a wreck! I don't know how to look up other posts on baritricpal on This app . Thanks for thr kid words. I've been really upset.

Thank you all for talking to me. I have been getting my water in and mostly all the protein. I have not lost anymore weight in 5 days. Actually it says I gained a pound. I'm trying not to be depressed. I feel like I'm doing everything wrong now Sent from my SM-A716U using BariatricPal mobile app -
Cheating on your partner after weight loss
GiGi 1970 replied to Marissa37's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My guess is she is 35 to 40ish. With self esteem issues and raging hormones. It's not you at all! Some women can't help the mental hormones. It's really not always a lack of attention. I'm sorry your heart was broken. In time it will heal. You will move on and find a new love. Sent from my SM-A716U using BariatricPal mobile app -
Cheating on your partner after weight loss
GiGi 1970 replied to Marissa37's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It's natural to want attention after feeling deprived from others noticing you and now you feel young and alive. But that comes with great consequences. When your marriage was built on solid ground it will remain. Find God! Pray about your situation. We have all failed ourselves God and our mate at something. Talk to your husband. Make sure you are ready to give up everything for attention. Try to focus on your marriage more, get in women's groups, join a Bible based church. Get involved in helping at a food pantry. Good luck and God be with you! I'm just judging you, we have all been there. Just realize you can lose everything you love. Sent from my SM-A716U using BariatricPal mobile app -

So hungry 15 minutes after eating
GiGi 1970 replied to pointlessneedles's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Don't panic! I'm post op 3 weeks and i have only lost 9 pounds! I'm eating 5 to 6 times a day getting 90% of my protein in. And 90% of my water. I'm on soft foods now and gained a pound! Im also hungry.. I panicked until I have read where other people are in the same boat. I'm up at 2am writing because I went in panic mode. Our bodies are all different and age, how long we carried the weight, medicines and if you didn't eat that much before surgery it may take longer. I got upset because I saw so many people saying that they lost 30 and 40 pounds in a month! 10 pounds is better then what i had been doing. You being hungry too is normal. Try to relax and keep drinking as much as you can. Try thr protein water. I'm sorry we are going through such hardship through this part of our journey. But it will get better. It has to! Keep strong Sent from my SM-A716U using BariatricPal mobile app
