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.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
