That's awesome you have started to exercise already. How long did you wait before you started to work out? I have been walking a lot but still I am tired during the day and I need more rest than I needed before my surgery. What stage are you in at this time? Does your appetite fluctuate?

I waited 2 weeks after surgery. Before surgery I was exercising a lot ( spinning, body pump, ECT), so it wasn't that difficult to get back into the swing of things. I am 6 weeks post-op and exercise quite a bit. A lot of times my calories end up being in the negative, so I am definitely more tired! I don't notice any fluctuation in appetite, except for around that time of the month :)

my dietician said stalls usually last from 1-2 weeks and then it should pick up again. That's on the average bariatric patient. I just got out of mine, but did loose inches like you during mine!

The first time I tried eggs I couldn't tolerate them but tried a few weeks later and could. I'm just scared to try again lol

I'm six weeks post-op and am having a very strange experience. For the last week, pretty much anything I eat makes me very nauseated, even foods that I had been tolerating well are making me sick. Very odd. . .

I have my six week follow-up appt with my surgeon and dietician today, so will hopefully get some answers to this little mystery.

Congrats, everyone, on continued success! :)

4.29.14 Well, my surgeon and dietician weren't much help yesterday. They suggested various things to do and try, which I am already doing. I have cut back on my portion sizes (I was eating about 2 oz per meal/snack). So, now I will try eating only 1 - 1.5 oz at a time. I already take the smallest bite possible and chew until it is mush. Hopefully, this is just a little hiccup and won't last much longer. I was able to eat a few bites of Soup last night that only made me a little queasy.

On the bright side, my doc was pleased with my overall progress. She said at six weeks, they like to see about 25% excess weight loss and I'm at 31%, so I'm right on track.

You look great!!!!!!

My weight loss has been painfully slow the past two weeks. I've been back at work and I've been so tired when I get home that I haven't been doing a lot of working out. But I've still lost inches. I bought a shirt at old navy two weekends ago and it was super tight and I tired it on this morning and it fit perfect. My plan for the next two weeks is to get more Protein in. I'm working out by tilling my garden by hand. I joined planet fitness this weekend but it doesn't open for two more weeks.

Mine, too. I am kind of stalled. But...it will end soon. Am finally able to start eating. Had 2 turkey meatballs for lunch today. Yum!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
