I only lost 16 pounds in my first month after surgery . Is this a normal weight loss? I started at 201 pounds. I'm worried that this my slow down next month. I have not started exercise yet! I did start working again after 10 Days of Surgery its been a Struggle with lots of emotions. Just reaching out for advice. Thank you !

I was just told no driving while in pain meds. I drove less than a week afterward- maybe 4 days. I didn't need a lot of pin meds. Mich W Hw 223, SW 217 CW 196.6 GW 135

I, too, scheduled my appointments from the very beginning and sent calendar appointments to my boss' calendar. I wasn't having it. I refuse to start all over. I know you were frustrated. I don't blame you. My last appointment is August 18th. I'm going to be there with bells on. [emoji57]

I feel as though traveling at 6 weeks would be manageable. You may be pretty tired and I would be even more aware of your eating/vitamin/water schedule because traveling would make it easier to forget. I would have on hand protein bars, meat/jerky sticks and other high protein shelf stable foods that you can keep on you at all times. As for eating out, I eat out quite regularly and I find the best thing to do is to order a portable scale off of Amazon. I keep it in my purse and I got one with a lid so it will stay clean. I can only eat 2 oz and still remain comfortable, the scale has been perfect so I don't overeat. I stay away from the kids menu because the options are usually fried or a lot of carbs. I always share with my husband.

Totally see it! Good job keep it up! [emoji4] Quick question how is your eating? I'm thinking of starting an exercise regimen at home but sometimes my eating is not so good. Any tips? I'm also 3 months post op.

The less you weigh, the slower the weight loss. The one downside of being a lightweight

breakfast sandwich? processed food. lasagna? heavy carbs and gluten. sloppy joe? bread and added sugars. your issue is not quantity but quality. none of what you just listed is healthy. make better food choices and THEN let your appetite guide you. right now, the foods you are eating are not nutritionally dense, so your body is not satisfied, and therefore driving you to eat more. slippery slope you are on. correct it while it's still early.

Omeprazole works well to help prevent acid, Tums works well to deal with acid when you already have it. I'm sorry you're not feeling well. Good luck!

Looking for sleeve buddies !! Had my surgery 8/12/14, and would like to chat with others in my area.

I had my surgery on August 12. I was sick for a few weeks after the surgery, but now I'm doing great. I've lost 76lbs so far. Can't wait for spring so I can get out and walk.
