    Always feeling cold

    I am wearing socks at home. I never used to wear socks to sleep but it’s a must now. I can’t seem to keep warm.

    Always feeling cold

    Doctor says it’s in normal range. I’m taking iron + b12 supps and it hasn’t helped.
  3. Im almost a year in from my surgery and lost 100 pounds almost. Anyone experience feeling cold all the time? I’ve never had this issue before surgery. My surgeon says my vitals are normal. It’s 75 outside and I’m freezing in my apartment.

    7 Months Post Op Normalities?

    I went on vacation last month. Eating out was a struggle. I haven’t made my surgery public to a lot of my friends. I can never finish my entree. I usually order fish as the portion is a lot smaller. Eating protein first then the carbs last. I still feel very bad for throwing away half my plate. Skip the appetizers lol.

    7 Months Post Op Normalities?

    I’ve had mine on May 3rd. Best decision ever. I’ve been at my lowest weight in almost 10 years. Around the 5 month mark, Ive plateau. I’m still dropping some weight but a lot slower than I want. Hopefully the next 5 months, I’ll reach my goal weight.

    One year post op

    Congrats. I’m hoping my bmi will be below 30 by my one year mark.
  7. I’m wondering how everyone is tracking at their 6 month mark. I had my surgery May 3rd this year. My starting weight before pre surgery diet was 309. I’m at 233 as of today and hopefully I’ll get to 225 by 11/3 I was hoping to reach 200 by the end of the year but I don’t think it’s possible. My goal weight is 160.
  8. Avoided any tv with commercials and hid all social media feeds showcasing foods Lolol. It got better after about day 5 for me.

    Liquids with food

    Thanks for the tips. I have the gastric sleeve and will work on habits to drink more throughout the day. It just slips my mind when I’m busy with work
  10. I’m about 10 weeks post surgery. At what point can you drink liquids with food? With the summer being here, after I come back for a walk, I’d like to drink some water and heat up dinner. Pretty frustrating I have to wait 30-45 minutes before I can eat and it’s already a long work day.
  11. I am 7 weeks post opt and have most restrictions removed with the exception of bread/ rice / beef/ pork. I’m worried about stretching my stomach. Around how much lean protein are you having per meal along with carb/veg? Anyone get weight loss stalls at this stage? I notice the scale has barely moved the last 10 days.

    Post op pain

    Thanks for explaining. I’ll try not to take ibu. Hopefully it gets better in the next 2 weeks. I bought a compression tank and it seems to minimize the pain when walking or getting up.

    Post op pain

    I’m 2 weeks out as well and yes I have the stinging feeling near my belly button. The NP said it’s from swelling and advice I take ibuprofen 4 hrs apart from Tylenol.
  15. Wow ! Congrats ! I’m almost 2 weeks post surgery and still bloating and haven’t lost any weight since surgery. Hopefully I’ll finally drop some in the next 2 weeks
