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.

green thats weird which office you go to. i see my baratric dr and nut in the same day. i guess all kaiser are not the same either because my dr is strict with me

I'm in Atlanta Ga. I wish my plan were more like yours.

Does anyone notice that people treat them better since you've lost a big chunk of weight?? Specifically men hold doors for me, randomly start up conversations, let me cut in front of them etc. haha I mean I am not small (size 14) but its like night and day. :wub:

Yes, have noticed grocery store or retail store employees more interested in helping. I'm a 14/12 too. It's a little weird.

Hi Artsong

I know how you feel I am right there with you. I have lost 30 pounds since day of surgery and will be hitting 6 months on the 24th of March. I too thought it would be a lot faster loss. I too am wondering what the hell I spent me my money for.

The one thing that really bugs me is in the Morning I weigh 118.7 and in the evening I weigh between 3 and 5 pounds more, making it really difficult to decide how much I have lost. I am now not counting losses unless it is also a loss in the evening.

I have been exercising regularly and starting keeping a journal again. I am having trouble keeping on the presurgery diet so I have given it up for now. Hopefully with counting each and everything again I will be able to see whats wrong.

on a more postiive note congrats to everyone else most of you are doing fabulous.

Jordon just weigh yourself in the morning and only the morning. Our bodies flutuate up to 5lbs during the day due to eating, drinking and other stressers on our bodies. I try not to weigh every day so i aim for every OTHER day...helps keep me accountable kinda but not obsessing over the scale. Also i step on the scale naked lol clothes can add up to 2 to 3 pounds as well.

Green- Do you have a cute Georgian accent?? I will have to read your posts that way.

I too weigh in naked every morning before i get into the shower. I am so obsessed with the scale. The weird thing is I have been working out for the last month and the first couple of weeks I dropped weight but now I am not budging. I am hoping that the scale moves soon.

Well my doc has tost the word sleeve to Rny at me today 0.o I don't see him till the 22nd. I don't see how the hell this is going to help I watch what I eat I workout I don't loss inches or weight 205/208 for the past 6 weeks. Only have lost 35/36 lbs in my 6 months. I payed 25k for the sleeve I will have to pay 35 for Rny. I'm pist off today. I was 244 to start with and only at 208 today

Sounds to me like you Doctor has no answer for the reason of slow weight loss. The only thing he can offer you is a second surgery because he has nothing else to give.

I so t think its the size if your stomach because you eat small amounts and low cal. It sounds more like a metabolic issue to me.

We don't blame you for being mad girl so let it out. We are here for you.

my name is judy and i am a scaloholic lol

artsong i feel you oh i feel you. my dr asked me the other day do am i happy and i said no, she asked why? and i told her i should of had the rny and she said there is not a big differance. only 5-10lbs differance, i beg to differ.

Art song! I read your posts but never say anything cause I know you were trying to be so positive. There has to be an issue a real one that can explain. I wish I wish I wish I had an answer for you. I don't but girl I've been praying for ya! I'd be so upset too! Do not have rny!!! Sounds weird but have you stopped working out. Cause I know you have been diligent in workouts since beginning.... I ask this bc like me a lot of us are just now having to work out for toning purposes and weren't as diligent as u in the beginning....

Brandy <3

Hello Judy, my name is Krista and I too am a scale-o-holic! LOL

Artsong- I think you look great BTW! I have decided to be excited on how I feel not how I look. After all, it has only been 6 months!! Allthough the scale will move slower, it will move...I hope. Maybe it is metabolic? I know I am on metformin as I mentioned in the past for PCOS. I swear more of us have it than we think.

I have had just about every test there can be done I'm now pushing for a pituitary gland test. I see the new Doc on the 22nd I see my pcp in the morning to go over the ultrasound test and I'm going to ask him for the pituitary gland test. I think I would do Rny or DS if all test come back as normal the sleeve dose have a 20% chance of failure maybe I fell in that 20%. Hell if I know lmao I do know that I'm kicking ass at my p90x again feels good knee has not been hurting much

I am a size 14 1/2 a 16 is too big. I have been this size for some time now as well. I thought that was good? No? What were your beginning measurements? Will he do a RNY when you are this small?
