Mommyinneed, no I didn't have an infection. I was just being a worry wart. 2 weeks out now, just started on mushies & doing great. I had my doc look at it and she said it looked normal and I said are you sure? Lol, I'm the type who needs something to worry about.

I was somewhat dehydrated (from my trip home) which led to an electrolyte imbalance & low heart rate, but that was easily fixed with Gatorade & 100 oz of Fluid for 4 days straight.

Now I'm just worried that one day this wonderful, wonderful weight loss will end & reverse itself like it has so many times before. It just seems too good to be true....but like I said I need something to worry about ;)

Hope you are all better, or getting there! That doesn't sound like it was fun at all.

My surgeon said to expect a stall 3 or 4 th week, because you lose some muscle the first few weeks bc of the full liquid diet. He said once you start adding Protein in ur foods and shakes, you gain some of that muscle back so you hit a stall. He said no fear, and to expect loss again the week after. So keep ur head up!

I'm not afraid of stall I don't think....I'm expecting them & soon too. I'm afraid of something more permanent.

I guess, like a lot of us, I'm just afraid that this won't work for me & be just another failure in a long line of failures.

No reason for it though. I'm doing great right now, it's just a worry at the back of my mind.

I am at a stall too, I think it is going to happen. It is just our body adjusting to the new liquids or foods I think.

Another plug for May 2012 Sleevers Facebook group!

It is a secret group so nobody can see the group, who is in it, or what we post!

Just friend me on facebook & then I will add you. Search for Sharon Ivanauskas.

We have 80 members now & it is going great!!!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
