Hi everyone! My surgery was 2/26, 6 weeks out today. I only lost 13 pounds so far and I am not able to meet either Water or Protein requirement. I was a low BMI with heart disease & severe high blood pressure.. I am so discouraged right now, any advise??

Hi Nadine- don't get discouraged. Everyone responds differently; but you are losing. It will go down at different rates over time. With a low BMI it might go a little slower than others you see online. Just keep shooting for your protein and water goal; you'll get there eventually.

Hi Guys-

Checking in- been sick with a cold this week after a stomach bug the week before. Feeling ragged and weak, but hoping to rally today. I second the book, The Emotional First Aid Kit. Has helped me get my perspective right during the tough times these past few months.

6 week checkup was today. My surgeon was very pleased with my weightloss. Had nothing but praise for me. My underwear fall off now, I guess that's an NSV of sorts. Lol

I'm cleared to exercise with resistance now so I'm excited to work out my arms. It's funny, she said 45 min of a brisk walk burns more calories than running for 10 min. I'm def gonna do some fast power walking and starting yoga.

Looking and feeling better each day. Still can't drink anything room temp, has to be ice cold. Water brings on major nausea. Ugh.

Other than that I'm a happy camper :)

I can relate. I am super happy about my weightloss so far 37 total (27lbs post op) , but I am still trying to adjust to my new reflection. Everyone who has seen me, has told me I look great, but until I get used to it in my head I just feel a little in limbo. I guess like everything else, it'll take time to get used to it. The problem is that we will continue to lose weight so by the time you adjust the one image in your head of what your size is, you will be much smaller. BTW, For the first time since my surgery 2/28, I tried on the clothes I put away because they were too tight. All of them were super loose! I don't know what anyone else is doing, but I refuse to buy any new clothing. I feel like its a waste. Not sure how the summer is going to go. Guess I will be wearing baggy clothes. LOL but y'all wish me luck.

I actually did buy some clothes. Some smaller and some that I can fit into now. I bought leggings because all my jeans look so stupid and saggy in the wrong places haha i can't even tell u how happy I was to shop in the regular departments! Not plus size any more!!! :)

Last night I was cramping. I've never cramped on my period like now. Ever. I was curled up cramping so bad that I broke down and took a dose of my liquid codeine. Yeah.... Big mistake. Huge mistake. About 20 min later I woke up to pain in my stomach so severe that I honestly thought I must have a leak n was going to go to the ER. before I went, I remembered taking that on an empty stomach. I staggered into my kitchen and ate about a quarter of a container of sugar free pudding. Within 5 minutes my pain was gone. You live and you learn. This was at 3:30 in the morning. Jeez, I guess I need to log that as a snack. I forgot to do that. Lol

I feel reeeeeeally fortunate. I started my period monday before I went to bed. I think its already pretty much done. I also had almost no cramps. However, Tuesday and yesterday it was SUPER heavy flow. Like, changing tampons every 3-4 hours. Regular or super ones. Which its never like that for me.

I also feel lucky that I can take the pain meds on an empty stomach with no problems. Glad it was an easy fix though!

It was every hour. I'd go through a super tampon AND the pad underneath. No exaggeration. I need to get that ablation done.

That's how mine were before surgery. I was shocked when I started my period RIGHT on schedule on the 17th because it was on time and I had no crazy cramping as a warning. Good luck Hun.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
