Congratulations to all of you on your weight loss success!!!! Reading your post are motivating me at a times I'm wondering if my experience is normal.

I had my WLS on 11/14/13, SW 266, includes pre-op CW 242, GW 165.

I thought to join in on the October group to learn from your experiences. Everyone on my November group seems be in what most are referring a "stall" and I'm right there with them.

I'm getting in all my fluids, Proteins and small meals. My greatest challenge is not walking enough due to low back and right knee injury.

I feel guilty when I eat my small meals, as if it's causing me not to lose weight.

Few questions

Did you experience this as well, this stall within your 4 to 6 weeks post-op?

When did you start losing or seeing results again, like when on pre-op liquid diet?

What are you using for your scars?

Are you shedding lots of hair?

What Iron Vitamins taste or works for best you?

Thank you in advance for your feedback and experiences!!

Mrs Rookie! : )

Tough time the last 2 weeks had gained 2lbs when I was on a prednisone pack(My RA went into overdrive). Lost 5 since but now pms'ing. Feeling discouraged but I guess not doing too bad for going through both of these.

Lets stay in touch guys, if there is a forum for us already please point me to it, otherwise, I'll start:

Surgery date: 10/23/13

Highest weight: 283

Surgery weight: 277

Current weight: 271 (1week post op)

Pre op meds vs post op meds:

type 2 diabetes pre op-2 insulins 2 pills/

post op-1 pill only 1/2 the pre surgery dose- still on high cholesterol meds but I suspect that will change after my pcp follow up.

I am struggling to not get on the scale until my 2 wk post op, 3 days to go I'll keep you guys posted. Gas/constipation is my biggest complaint. Getting down all of my liquids and Protein is my biggest struggle. Staying positive is my biggest accomplishment....

VSG ON 3....1 2 3 VSG!!!! Let's get it!!!!

Try some Miralax

No need for Constipation.< /p>

It's the worst.

Hello Everyone,

Getting worried now as cannot drink Water anymore. It is such a struggle. Feel full all the time. Eating is a struggle too. I have a fear of vomiting.

Any suggestions / advice? Most welcomed. Help!!!!

When I was having trouble drinking water.... I flavored it. That helped a lot.
