So I've been trying to wake up early and get my workouts in, only did it twice. I can't seem to shake off my tiredness in the mornings! I know if I kept it up, I'd make it into a habit and it'll get easier, but I don't know if I want to do that. When I workout in the evenings, take my shower, I'm so ready to lay down and sleep. I think I'll stick to my evenings. Now, if I decided to stop working, then I'll do mornings...around 9 or 10. LOL

Started walking regularly at about 4 days, was up to a couple miles by two weeks and started couch to 5k at four weeks.

Your logical side: It is just a stall. You knew about the 3rd week stall, you were aware. It happens to everybody. It will pass, you'll see. Your body is just adjusting. You are losing inches. Even if it takes a while, you will lose weight just from eating less food. Just be patient. Your emotional side: *crying hysterically* You are a failure! You will be the first person in the Universe to go thru this and not lose weight! Just give up. Nothing you can do. Your stall will last forever. You will not lose another pound. Tell me it isn't true...

They gave me my scripts for pain meds and Prilosec at my preop appt two weeks prior to surgery. It was so convenient!

You look great now so being amazing is a short trip! You can do it! Keep up the work!

I'm July 31 as well! In Los Angeles at UCLA. No pre-op diet but I eat about 100 g of protein a day and take BCAAs. Had my pre-op 2 1/2 weeks ago.

Very common. They pump you full of steroids which makes you retain water, then they pump you full of fluids on top of it. The xtra weight should fall off rapidly. Congrats on taking the plunge. All the best on your journey!

You are so pretty! And props for quitting. Takes a strong determination to do it.. and you have it. You will do great! “There will be obstacles. There will be doubters. There will be mistakes. But with hard work, there are no limits.” —Michael Phelps

I quit before my sleeve but I still have cravings driving me insane haha Sent from my A1601 using BariatricPal mobile app

The pain is intense whenever I move, not gonna lie. I have ice on my side and crotch right now. And yesterday after surgery I had to go to the ER because of extreme bleeding from my rear incision. Fortunately my doctor met me there, checked everything, and assured me it was normal to have leakage especially in the first few days even though I have drains. It has subsided since then but is not completely done. But I had my binder off for the first time and I cried with joy at the sight of my flat stomach and the fact that I could see my hooha without lifting up a pile of fat or skin. I will take the pain for a lifetime of flat tummy any day! Time for my meds! Sent from my XT1635-01 using BariatricPal mobile app
