Never to soon to start! I had mine on the 11th!?? Anyone else in June yet? And how's it going?

So tomorrow is 6 weeks. I'm down 29.8 lbs and almost two pants sizes. I lost my back roll and my double chin. I've gained a jaw line and being able to breathe and tie my shoes at the same time.

Yay! ! Great job! I just tried on a pair of 18 petites jeans that I had and they fit. Too hot to wear them tho! Luckily I have clothes down to 14 petite.

the scale finally moved! yay!

I can squeeze into an 18 - started as a 22/24. I'm fitting in pants that haven't fit in 2-3 years.

Well today made my 5th week out and my experienced today' date=' everything I ate or drank felt like it was stuck and a few minutes later I would spit up thick white mucus, therefore I phoned my surgeon office around 7pm and I received a return call, instructing me to go to the hospital's outpatient unit where I will receive lots of fluids, toradol for pain, and blood work, my nurse said I was experiencing stomach spasms, he said I will receive treatment for 3 to 4 hours for 4 days, until my stomach relaxes and after that I should be fine, God is my help...[/quote']

Hello everyone, I hope everyone is all good...Well, to give you an update, there was nothing really wrong, my pouch for some reason got mad with me and decided to have spasms, it only happened that one day, so to be on the safe side, I was instructed to start all clear liquid again (Damn, I was about to start on solid foods), I have an IV in my arm because I'm receiving daily treatment in outpatient for four days, to assist my pouch to relax for when I move on to regular foods.

I can't seem to eat any kind of meat. Nothing settled well in my pouch. This may just drive me to be a vegitarian. It all looks so good!

I have a fitness brag! This morning I went for a walk and was bound and determined to walk up the hill. I made it a mile all uphill! my total walk was 2.63 miles! I'm so stoked! it was very warm and when I got home i was so sweaty but i also felt majorly accomplished!

Great job! You should be proud!

I'm nearly 3 weeks out & I have stalled. The scale actually said I gained back 2 lbs. How the Hell do you gain on this??? I don't feel bad hearing I'm not alone.

Monday I was up 1/2 lb. Went back down, but very frustrating. I have not had one day where I have eaten over 450 calories and I am working out nearly every day. My net calories are often under 100 calories. However, I think that Aunt Flow is preparing for a visit, I am blaming it on that - at least for now!

I am five weeks post opp, and I went to Dr today for my follow up. Since 6-11-13 I have lost 32.2 lbs since then. But I must admit I was a little sad because I only lost 9 pounds since my last appointment which was three weeks ago. I know 9 lbs is good but I wish it was more. It made me more determined to work harder.

Was admitted to the hospital today with possibility of a esophageal stent tomorrow. Dr said he injected steriods for all of the inflammation I had monday and he wanted me to have an upper GI to see if they'd done any good. I went down and drank the dye gagging the entire time, and it went down. Doctor says my stricture is good for now, but he thinks my body is trying to reject the new plumbing. Says it rarely happens and it can take up to 4 months to get better. I am constantly nauseated and dry heaving. He's going to try and get me on a good combination of meds before I go home. He said most likely I will lose all of my weight before my body settles down considering that I'm already down to 190. I'm just hoping to hold onto my sanity during this time. Cannot believe I had a stricture and now this... as if one wasn't enough. I'm supposed to stay on sugar free clears until further notice.
