Hey Janice! Thank you. How are you doing? Hope all is well! Happy one year to you.

Thank you but i havent been as successful as many in our group. Could be lack of exercise. Or very slow metabolism. I have only lost 50. So now i am reaching out for diet aids to help my hump. Very upsetting. Sometimes i dont even feel like i had the operation. Like he opened me up and closed me. Could be hormonal to. I will find my way surely

I heard if you are using the wrong Protein supplements it can slow your weightloss, I use Unjury Protein Shakes once a day for Breakfast. My husband also had the surgery in March, he Snacks a lot which is a no no but he still seems to lose. Quite honestly I do not exercise, I haven't seemed to fit that in yet! ???? I have leveled off and if I start gaining I think that will be my motivation.... Also along with the shakes we take 1 bariatric Vitamin A day and 3 bariatric Calcium supplements a day. I order all this from unjury.com thier chocolate splendor shakes are really good! It might be worth trying something different! I always keep sugar free Popsicles in the freezer, if I feel like snacking or filling my face I eat one, usually two, they are 10 calories a pop and are better than the alternative! Hope this helps! First and foremost DO NOT GIVE UP! Good luck!

Yes i started out with Unjury, had all flavors. Just couldnt get them down after 3 weeks. Then use ensure high Protein and adkins Protein Shakes. I do snack too much. But love the soy bean roasted nuts and edamame Beans. Roasted they are good and 1 bag last me about a week. But i am working around all of this

I have a question, first of all I am a nail tech and when I do pedicures I have to lean forward a little and sometimes I get what feels a cramp in my stomach. Kinda like I am pinching an intestine or something only when I bend just slightly forward. When I sit up straight the cramp is gone. Have any of you ever felt a weirdness in your abdomen?

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
