Wow this just blows me away. My doctors always told me I'd be better (arthritis) if I just lost a little weight. I'm 10 days post op and can't wait for it to be me who shares I'm off of the meds and not in arthritis pain. We see it here all the time, and I'm working hard to get there - so I know ... My day's coming happydance

As I type I'm laying here bed bound because of sciatica and I think weakness...

I was sleeved Aug 1st and I am getting super depressed over this. I'm missing work and my strength so much.

How much longer will I be stuck in bed?

I was OK a week ago but now I'm not doing good.

Standing up seems impossible right now

@@Ladystorm Are you getting enough fluids and Protein?? Are you on any meds that might need adjusting (diabetes, hypertension)? Are you taking Vitamins? Call your surgeon - it's normal to be tired after major surgery but it seems you aren't just tired if you can't get out of bed.
It's the sciatica.... ????

My sciatica was at its worse BEFORE my surgery. It was either back/piriformis surgery or weight loss surgery with hopes that losing weight...helped! I decided weight loss surgery would in turn help me with so many other things. HBP. SUGAR LEVELS. ANXIETY. So I went with weight loss surgery. My surgery was 9/2/15 and believe me, sciatica wasn't gone over night. I just kept after all the Protein (which I still do now) and little by little I tried my best to get up out of bed. I rode a stationary bike for 2 minutes which took everything I had...the next day 4 minutes...the next day 6 minutes and some days went back down to 2 minutes but the point was I WAS TRYING MY BEST. One October day...I woke up and wanted to go shopping for fall decorations and when we got to Target...my husband went to get my the electric buggy to ride around in because I couldn't walk...and this particular day I said "no babe, I don't think I need that today" I WALKED AND WALKED AND WALKED. My husband had tears in his eyes. I had tears in mine. The pain was gone. I don't know what it was...or why it left...but I thank God every day because I thought I was dying!!!! Maybe I stretched it out. Maybe I lost just enough to ease some pressure. I don't know. All I can tell you is TRY YOUR BEST to move and pray. I will be thinking about you and I truly hope you get better. I know your pain too well. :-(

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
