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!

@@Karen Scott - hang in there... It will come!

Congrats on weight loss. We all just got to remember the weight will come off. It didn't come on in a few weeks of it probably won't come off that fast either.

@@Karen Scott don't be depressed it will come. Remember not to count on the scale also the inches that is coming off too. The way your clothes feel etc. Remember we are women we carry water weight to when its our time of the month. You are doing everything right don't beat yourself because the scale hasn't moved. That is way I only weigh once a week. I know me I would be upset if it didn't move. I pray that you get peace so you can count on other factor to see that your losing the weight you need. It will be ok

Okay ladies!! I stepped on the scale today and it looks like the stall I've been on for 3 wks is finally over... That is unless the scales were just playing with my emotions! ???? I will be so happy to have that stubborn stall behind me.

omg congrats it's funny because yesterday I pushed myself a little harder to get in more calories and a 20 minutes of walking on my treadmill and the scale finally decided to go down. Good luck

I feel you ... I've been in a stall too.

Hi. I was done 8/26. Was dismissed the next morning and never had to have a pain med. I was a little tired the first couple of days but fine after that. Even went to the Rockies on vacation and spent 2 days 4-wheeling. I will be 2 weeks out tomorrow and have only lost 14#s. But I am wearing a size smaller in clothes and can actually reach my feet!!!. I haven't been able to do that for awhile now. I am still on clear liquids until tomorrow but sure am looking forward to having some soft food. Am a little afraid since I am never hungry and have no idea what "full" feels like. Can hardly wait for "onederland". I am getting closer

I got sleeved on the 18/8 and have lost 24 pounds but my energy levels are really inconsistent at times I am really really tired then other times I feel great. I am on purreed food so eat alot of blended chicken in Soups and weetbix and scrambled eggs and very soft cheese and I make my own shakes with Protein powder but now I have really bad funky breathe anyone elses partner complained that you have bad breathe?

Hi!! I'm an August 6th sleever and I'm stuck! i lost 30 pounds the first two weeks and now I'm stuck I haven't lost not even one pound and I'm frustrated! I'm just starting my galbladder meds and vitamins started a few days ago but I'm feeling discouraged I feel like it's not working for me too tired to excersise but I feel like if I don't start to I'm never going to lose this weight. would love to hear from you guys

30 pounds in two weeks is a super fast loss. Your body is probably just figuring out what happened and is readjusting. Stalls around the third week are very common. Just hang in there and it will pass eventually.

How can you say that it is not working for you? You lost 30 pounds in two weeks, that's awesome! Just like before the WLS, it will take time. Some folks reach their goal weight in 6 mos, 8 mos or a year. Just stick to plan and it will move eventually for you.

Yep, got the bad breathe too. It was worst the first week of post -op. Brushing my teeth did nothing for it, lol

Hello all! Checking in today after my 2 weeks post op visit yesterday. I am down 13 pounds in two weekss, Yay! My bp was 164/90, Nay! I was really hoping that I will not need these dang nabbit pills again. So, I will have to take my crushed bp meds and they are disgusting. My surgeon still have me pureed foods fo another 2 weeks. i showed him my baby food that I made for myself and he said it was too thick, WHAT! He said that if it cannot come through a straw then it is too thick. Now that is a bummer, really. I can't imagine runny chicken. I was extremely pooped yesterday. I didn't want to eat of drink anything. I ended up taking a nap around 12 and then went to bed around 9. It was bad but today I hav energy. My dietician got on me about my shakes so now I am concentrating on them now.

My meal plan is the have at least 2 shakes per day (these are 27 grams of Protein a piece). Now, I have to tweek these shakes because I do not like the taste. I add 1 tblspoon of Peanut Butter and a small piece of banana. i will have two high protein Snacks and a small dinner. Also, trying to avoid this diarrhea that I have sometimes. Yesterday was bad.Still taking the 2 Flintstones Complete.

I have a few NSV(non scale victories). My ring is loose. I was able to bend down with my knees instead of having my butt in the air, lol. I was also able to cross my legs a little and I notice that my stomach is smaller. Anyone else?
