CONGRATULATIONS on your incredible journey. I'm 4 months post op and have lost around 110lbs. Feels great to walk and move around pain free. Great to be able to situp on my bed.

Enjoy and continue moving forward

Drank Proteins shakes and no sugar added Pops when I wanted a treat. post-244766-14439263040971_thumb.jpg post-244766-14439264208586_thumb.jpgAlso made a lot of turkey chili and all vegetables chili with a lot Beans for Protein . Of course a lot of walking. I just started the gym last week to tone up now.

Wow. I guess I'm worried mainly about gaining later down the road (years). I wonder if you can have too much protein? What surgery did you have?

I had a gastric sleeve.

That's always a worry for everyone. Eat in moderation and watch what you eat. This is the time to make things right so we don't return to where we were with our weight

I'm having the bypass. Also worried I'll be hungry since they don't remove that hunger hormone with the bypass that they remove with the sleeve. My acid reflux is too bad to have the sleeve.

Atontor,

Did you have any weight loss stalls? I'm 3 weeks post op and in my first 2 weeks I lost 18 lbs but this last week I stalled and haven't lost anything. I'm worried. My doc said I should work out until 6 weeks and I am following all the guidelines. Any advice?

Hi

I didn't stall in the beginning. I stalled for about a week once I was able to eat solid food but then continued to lose. Right now I'm stalled, those last 10 lbs I want to lose are still there but I'm not complaining.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
