I hate that it has taken me 2 weeks to get that first outside walk in. This recovery is so slow. I weighed myself this morning and I have only lost 12 pounds. Everyone else is losing so much more. It frustrates me. I am hoping once I am able to walk more, the weight will start to come off faster. I just need to be able to walk by myself without needing to hold on to somebody. I can never do anything easy!

Girl! You had an "open" surgery! Your recovery is going to be slower.

Those little 10 minute walks will definitely help, and it always pooped me out, but yet, I was in less pain. (not so stiff, etc.)

12 pounds is ALOT!! You're 2 weeks out, right? My 30 pounds is from when I started the 2 week liquid diet until now. So that's a full month. (and 5 days) You're doing great!!

I feel so cruddy. I went to my doc, my weight is down and they just started me on an"r" medication I felt so good I went to Celebrate our adoptions with my family, 4 & 6 years, and they had nothing I could eat so I literally picked some cheese off the pizza and ate a super small amt. never again. I'm having also to go in for an end and possibly my pouch to be stretched ;/

I only drink 4 oz of pre-mixed Protein Shake 3 times per day. That's 1/2 cup each time. A tiny amount, I don't think I am having too much Protein. But I will try to drink a bit more. I just don't get how could I be gaining weight. Desperate!

@@Beni I have been reading the message boards and a lot of people talk about the 3 week stall. I feel like I've slowed down too! I don't know how much I've lost other than the two week weigh in. Hang in there! Maybe call your nutritionist? I see mine next week.

[Sherrib4health 100]

I am bummed, miscalculated my weeks, thought I only had one more week of pureed, but I have two.

Hang in Smiley. I'm on puree till Dec. 21st!

They started me on relegan(?) for nausea... Oh my heaven is it awesome. Also, my weight today was 222.4 so it matched my scale at home perfectly. naked at home I'm 219. Something.. Down from 255. So even feeling cruddy my 4 week victory is 35 lbs.

@@freelyme, I hope you saw, I'm in New Braunfels. They are going to see if it helps my food stop getting stuck. They think I may have scarred too much wher my pouch drains, so I will be getting the end and possible stretch then on the 29th. In the mean time, I LOVE relegan! It helps to relax my intestine/pouch so I'm not in pain! and takes away the nausea!

[freelyme 149]

Yes, it's a great drug! Sorry you've been in pain and been having food getting stuck! That sucks but kudos for being a trooper! Good luck on your upcoming procedure!
