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

130lbs down 1yr was on 12/11/12. Everyone is looking great on here!

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?

Thats weird. When i lean to the right sometimes it feels like a something pinches my ribs and makes a weird feeling.

Hi! I'm a nail tech and also do hair. Just curious, how long did you wait to go back to work? I'm nervous about leaning over on the incisions/port area. Being in this business, I really don't have any frills (medical leave, vacation time, etc.)
