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.

Anyone else having issues with slumping? Like I have to have good posture almost all the time or it hurts? Because if I slump it feels like it smushes my sleeve and it feels sore after a minute.

I know it's weird' date=' I was just wondering.[/quote']

I'm the opposite if I stretch out like lay flat in bed or sit straight up Im uncomfortable. Feels like I'm pulling my sleeve especially after eating.

Well today started week 4 so this morning was my 3 week weigh in and.... I gained 0.2 lbs! Was really hoping to not run into the dreaded 3rd week stall but with 15 lbs in the first 2 weeks I'm still happy. Anyone else stall?

Yes...i am in a 2 week stall...losing inches...so i guess there is nothing to worry about..yet!

I ran into a stall at 3 weeks & it lasted 2 weeks but I dropped 2 pant sizes & the dreaded stall finally lifted this past week end & I've dropped 2 more pounds.

That's way too much pain!! Time to call your surgeon. Personally, I can take Prilosec (or equivalent) twice/day and 2 Pepcid AC as needed. I am not having a hard time, though. Definitely, you should not be feeling this bad. Make the call!

As for extended meds, I have no restrictions.

Thanks! I am feeling better today. I am really keeping track of my protein and fluid intake. Slept a long time last night and maybe that is what I needed. Still shaky but until I get rehydrated I think this is to be somewhat expected. I have officially given up on the Pepcid AC and am now trying Prilosec. Still having some burning today but nothing as bad as it has been.

That is awesome on dropping 2 pant sizes! WTG! As I am putting away my laundry today I had to laugh at some of my underwear. Wow! Can you say "granny panties"! LOL! I cannot WAIT to throw those suckers in the trash! My kids are out of school today and so my oldest is cleaning out my closet for me. She loves organizing stuff. Can't wait to get rid of lots of old 22/24 and 2x/3x clothes.

Momto3girls- thanks, pretty proud of myself

I can't wait to through out my grannies panties too (LOL). My joke was always "Victoria has no secrets when it comes to me!" I can't wait for the day I can go in there & buy regular size bras & undies!!! I have already started weeding through my closet for Good Will

I had surgery on September 5th an I feel great. The surgery was way easier than I imagined. Recovery was fine. It would have been horrible if I didn't have a private room in the hospital though. The people in double rooms looked miserable!

Anyway, I feel great. I've lost 25 pounds which is more than I thought I would lose right off since I am on the smaller range of weight.

I do get a bit bored with my stage three food though. I'm a vegetarian and not being able to get my veggies is NO fun!

Southcoastliving- congrats on your 25 lbs. I was sleeved on 9/4. Sounds like we're averaging around the same weight loss. I'm not a vegetarian but have decided to try and incorporate veggie burgers into my diet. I was a vegetarian about 20 years ago but wasn't getting enough nutrients so my Dr told me I needed to eat chicken, fish & turkey. I still try to stay away from red meat if at all possible. Keep me updated in your WLS journey.

It's nice to read everyone is doing good.

Okay I'm getting frustrated here. Ladies I must be the slowest loser ever. I'm a little over 3 weeks out and lost 15 lbs. Then I gained one lbs and lost it... So confusing.. ugh!

I got you beat on the slowest weight loss only down 11 pds since surgery sept 10. But i have lost 11 inches. Damn stall

I haven't measured myself. I probably should.

My surgery was on the 13th. But what I dont get is why I'm gaining 1 lb then losing it then stall... Oh how I hate it!

Okay all I have a major problem. Every time I eat I have to fart.....Loud farts to... I go back to work on Monday and I don't know what to do. I teach and I can not be walking around a bunch of 5th graders and fart all day. How embarrassing? Does anyone else have this problem?
