Hey everyone. I decided it was time for us to set up a post op section for the August folks. there are a lot of yu guys on here and I would like to be able to see how you are progressing. Any changes? Concerns? We can help one another.

I am day 9 post op and all is well with me. Trying to stay hydrated and sipping on the portein shakes. I am able to sip more now, thank goodness. I feel thirsty all the time. Even if I wake up in the middle of the night, I am sipping. My fisrt post op visirt is on the 8th and hopefully eveything will be good.

Later Losers!

Motherof5 no it's not

I actually don't think I'm eating enough.. I have no appetite.. And when I do eat it's four bites and I'm through... Been relying on protein shakes... For nourishment

me too. Looks like my weight loss has also slowed. Any advice to get it back on track?

Motherof5 thanks.... I'll try the green veggies addition....

I have been living off of fresh oranges... Sliced I cut all the strings off and just eat the inside... Lol yummy... Finding my way I guess.. I can't tell you all the last time I ate a full meal.. Oh well.. SHRUGS!!!

Stuck too. I lost very quickly the first 3 1/2 weeks. Been slow going for the last 3 1/2. The past week I have been up and down the same 3 lbs. Very frustrating. I have an apt with my surgeon and nutritionist next week. Hoping to figure this out then.

So tonight I am having a panic moment. I am just now looking at my insurance EOB's for my surgery that they APPROVED. They didn't pay a thing. Looks like I will be on the phone with insurance all day tomorrow. Hopefully this issue gets resolved!!

@@ekh21ash, hopefully, it gets resolved. It could be the provider used the wrong billing code. I hope you still have the approval letter. Good luck!

So for those that are complaining of being stuck, please do your research. It is part of the process. I am sorry if I sound harsh. Stalls or plateaus are part of losing weight, whether with surgery or not. That is how the human body works. Weight loss surgery is not a magic pill and the weight falls off. It is just like any other weight loss plan; the difference is, this prevents regaining. Relax and enjoy the journey. If your clothes are getting loose on you, you are fine.

Good monday everyone! I'm 6 weeks post op and I've lost 26.8 lbs. Yeah!!! I just have to say that i've been reading the eggface website WWW. theworldaccordingtoeggface.com and it has some good recipes. Last night I made the shepard's pie. I made it with turkey instead of beef with sweet potato's for the top and it was delish! I'm so tired of sweet stuff (shakes and bars) I needed so real flavor and it did the trick. I highly recommend it. I am such a southern cook I'm having to learn how to make stuff healthier and it has been a challenge, eggface has made it alittle easier. Gotta go, everyone have a blessed day!

Thanks for sharing the site Aredder!

Hello and good morning to all you losers.

@aredder: I love that site as well. It has some awesome food recipes and smoothie recipes as well.

@@Galaxy Girl: thanks for the reminder.

@ekh21ash: I hope that you can get things cleared soon.

To everyone else, keep up the good work. Take your vitamins and meds, drink plenty of water, eat your proteins first and GET MOVIN'. Even if you are limited, a good walk is okay too.

Later losers!

Hey all, I'm 7 weeks out tomorrow, been doing fairly well with the weight loss although can eat about 1 cup of food each meal, went band to sleeve, eating high protein, low fat, low carb food, been exercising by walking jogging 10km per day, started to feel exhausted a couple of weeks ago. Have been taking my vits, averaging 40g carbs, 80 proteins, less than 10g fat per day. Got really frustrated with the fatigue, so had a break from the exercise for 6 days, ate some bad food, although still in very small amounts. Had a couple of glasses of wine. Back on track today, tiredness gone, exercising again, however, gained 5lb during my short time off the wagon !!! I thought I may not lose, I thought id stay the same weight as only I ate small amounts ! Bit freaked out that I can gain so quickly with only taking my eye off the ball for such a short time. Also I feel like my hunger is coming back. Should I be worried ??

Yeah, you said you went off the straight path. I wouldn't worry too much about it now. Just get back to your plan ASAP. And learn from what just happened. Thanks for sharing.

Hello all just checking in its been 5 weeks and I now am in the 140s like WOW talk about pre pregnancy weight goal but I too had hit a stall lasted about 2 weeks. I started going to the gym recently to do cardio and light weights to tone and we'll I seem to be doing OK for the most part. I am still having trouble using the restroom #2 lol hopeful soon I can go regular. Or the new regular. Does anyone know if it's bad to always take colace? A pill. I've been using that to help me go and takes about a day and I take one every 2 days but I'm not to find of taking pills so that's why I ask. Any who good luck everyone we are all doing a great job! Now just imagine come December I can't wait . The holidays will definitely be different this time around ")
