  • Just wanted you all to know my surgery went very well today. The afternoon after I didn't get the right dosage of pain meds and nausea meds so I was miserable. Once the Doctor came to see me he adjust

  • Hi bariatric fan... surgery was done yesterday. The gas pain was awful yesterday and kept me nauseated. I was feeling really bad. But I walked and used my incentive spirometer for breathing exercise

I think we join just by commenting and following, right? Anyway, welcome eclecticavatar. I'm 12/19 too. How are you feeling?

Hi surgery buddies! Love that there are a few of us for December 19th. Merry Christmas/happy Hanukkah to us, huh? Things are going well I think. The glue is coming off of my incisions and that's kind of gross, but I am pretty much past the pain. I am getting my Protein but not doing as well with fluids as I could be.

I go back to work on Monday and I'm wondering if that's going to be a struggle.

I hit a weight-loss stall and the scale hadn't budged in the past seven days but this morning I was back down the extra pound I had gained since the stall started. I think this is the "three week stall," it just happened a little early for me? I think it was a combination of not getting enough Water, and also eating a little too much on my stage 4/vaguely solid foods diet that I was allowed to start. No clue. Just frustrating.

I was 250 when I started and 226 day of surgery, down to 216 now.

That's a great loss already! I went back to work 1/3 after being sleeved the 19th. I'm a teacher, so I'm on my feet a good bit, but it wasn't bad. The hardest part was getting my Water in. It's harder when you're not just sitting around!

Stalls break. Just not as fast as we want them to. Remember, you are eating fewer calories than you are burning. That's the equation for loss. Your body just needs to adjust. Try making a change in the foods you are eating or the way you are exercising. That's supposed to help. In the meantime, take your measurements. That should give you the satisfaction you need.

I had my surgery on December 12. I'm almost a month out and doing well. Before surgery weighed 204 having lost 14# before surgery and I now weigh 190#.
