HELLO I AM DAY 6 I WOKE UP FEELING GOOD BUT AFTER MY SHOWER AND FIX MY Breakfast I FEEL SO SICK RIGHT NOW I CANT EVEN DRINK MY BREAKFAST, I HAD TO TAKE A NAUSEA PILL. LAST NIGHT WAS RUFF I MUST SAY. I THINK I STRESSED THE MAIN INSISION AND IT BOTHERED ME ALL NIGHT THE ACHE WENT ALL THE WAY TO MY BACK. YES I WAS SCARED BUT I KNEW I WOULD BE OK. I THINK I AM HAVING A REACTION TO TRADER JOES SPICY BLACK BEAN Soup, KEY WORD SPICY LOL.

I WAS ABLE TO GET MY 60 GRAMS OF PROTIEN IN AND I THINK THAT MADE ME SICK AS WELL I WAS FORCING IT BUT I COULDNT FINISH IT NO MATTER HOW HARD I TRIED LOL.

I HOPE EVERYONE WHO HAS HAD THE SURGERY IS DOING WELL. PLEASE SHARE YOUR PROGRESS SO WE CAN LEARN FROM EACH OTHER.

Sorry I haven't been able to post lately but I read all post and everyone seems to be doing great... Surgery 9/19...down 53 lbs...started at size 20-22 down to a 12-13!

I am loving my new look and life.

I would love to find a work out partner in the Fort Worth area if anyone is interested. I joined Planet Fitness in north side Fort Worth ($10 a month) and think I would have better motivation if I had a friend with the same goals as me to work out with. Call me if interested 817-223-6241.

I have 7 and none of them bothered me at all. They are very small.

I have the same plus my gallbladder ones but you dont see those anymore

Mknmore- great job!!!

Had my Metabolic rate tested today it is 1750 that's pretty good Now back to my slow loss my nut is beside her self as to why. I eat 900/1000 cals under 50 carbs water 64/1gal a day and my protein is 60/100 I work out 7 days a week even if its just 30mins On a huge good side ATM my hair is just fine my skin is not dry lol. I'm only down 40lbs and my nut her self said that's slow lol.

Hi Artsong. I am losing at about the same rate as you. I'm down 45 lbs. I refuse to get discouraged by my slow weightloss rate because I am losing. It's been a long to time since I weighed under 200. 190 today!

I have 14 lbs to go before I'm under 200 but ill get there

Yes you will!

My gosh I'm so fascinated by all of you. So why do I not stay in more contact? Life in the fast lane. I so need to be on here. I feel old habits are back and I'm so scared I'm going to stretch this darn thing if I haven't already. Holidays were tough. I ate what I wanted. I didn't gain but didnt lose. Ah well. Back to work Monday and as much as I don't wanna go back- I need the structure.

So nice to read all of your posts- very inspiring!

Thanks NG- I needed to hear that. I need to get it together. I'm back to work on Monday and I can't tell you how much I need structure. I don't drink my protein drinks and for the first time the hair is falling out. I was doing sooooo good for awhile. Gah!

I hope you are feeling better real soon. Lots of illnesses going around our area. Secretly I wish I would get it so I get myself off this bad kick! Yuck!

Justine! Good to hear from you! I too am struggling. I am at a standstill, still and have not lost in a couple of weeks. I know I need to start exercising at this point but just can not seem to make time! I'm too busy face booking, lol. Well, just remember why you had the surgery and maybe you can try and find a local group to get motivated with you. I love the slider foods, tortilla chips, crackers, candy, you know the ones. I do say no but I am giving in more and more lately.

Kparker-

I've done the same thing the past few days. Ok. Are you ready for this. One day I ate lots if chips and dip. That was a first since well before surgery. I have been out of control for a few days. I'm not sure what is going on. All I want to do is munch on stuff. Well after the chip episode, I trashed it all so I wouldn't eat again.

Maybe it's boredom. Kids are still home from Christmas Break. They go back on Monday so at that point.... I'm going to force myself to get off the couch and take some water aerobic classes.

I've got to start exercising.

Have any of you started eating raw veggies yet?

I have had success with raw veggies as long as I don't overdue it. Celery seems to not go over very well. I can eat a piece but more than that and I regret it.
