Well it's been almost three weeks since your surgery. So that infamous "3 week stall" was going to happen. People stall either at 3 weeks or a little before that. But the weight loss will start back up again. I know my stalls lasted a week each time and for me to break them, I either needed more of something like more protein or I needed more exercise. There are other ways to break stalls besides those options but you're in the very beginning stages and right now, it's not really advisable to try them.

I agree with Orchards & Dragons. I would ask her to please not speak further about your personal medical business & that it isn’t her place to tell people.

This is @ my country .. but another area, Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. Had a one piece too... but no pics only in the water. Btw plane sit belt was never a hassle had room to go. [emoji38][emoji1417]

Yep, time is going slower. My family supports my decision, but they also have no interest in what all it entails. My kids asked some questions, mostly concerning how dangerous the surgery will be. They are 25, 24, and 17. Husband is most concerned about getting the hotel info so our route from the surgical center to the hotel can be planned in advance. I am not complaining, he was my gps before I had gps! I just type my random thoughts into my iPad and let strangers help me out. Pre-Op diet on the 28th, one more appointment on the 29th and then surgery 6/11/18. Are we there yet?

It looks like you are back on the wagon now, another 5lb loss is great progress. Be kind to yourself as you work your way through this and provide love & care to your daughter.

Thank you! [emoji120] I appreciate your support [emoji173]️ I have faith that things will be ok.. she’s doing so much better now .. I still am going to take her to the Urologist children’s hospital (about an hr away from home) they have to do additional tests and screenings. As for me? I did increase more steps in my day working out long during the day when she’s at school... which helps keep me distracted and manage to lose 5 lbs since I posted the original post on this thread.. My upcoming nutritionist appt is the 22nd so it’s a good thing I lost as she likes to see some progress. (Shows her that I’m doing what I’m told)to get the clearance from her) it’s hard though.. very hard.. Staying focus, none the less! •36 •5’6 •Beginning W/378 •CW/268 •GW/140 •Surgery date is still unknown •RNY •From CT

I had a long talk with my doctor about what’s been going on with my daughter’s health and he understands the amount of stress especially having to deal with the requirements for this procedure to even be possible. He said to hang in there and just go through the whole process and if it’s something that I can’t do because of my daughter’s health he said he can at least submit and get a prior authorization from insurance and just have it for the allotted time they give you to use it. I think it’s 30 days? I could be wrong. We’ll see. She’s definitely doing better, however I need to travel an hr away to get her tested and checked for her kidneys.. I did increase my workout and get out of the house a lot more while she’s at school to keep my mind distracted... trying really hard to stay focused (manage to lose another 5 lbs) which is nice because the nutritionist wants to see some loss on the diet she’s got me on. •36 •5’6 •Beginning W/378 •CW/268 •GW/140 •Surgery date is still unknown •RNY •From CT

Congratulations!!!! That’s awesome! So smart to get a nausea shot before surgery!! I had headaches for the first 3-4 days and once I got back on my regular schedule of meds and was able to keep some foods down they went away. Constipation is real and not fun!! Praise God for baby food prunes! I’m down 9 pounds as of today and am shocked. Can’t wait to hear more about your successes!!

10000% normal. I was in pain for about 3/4 weeks. I also didn't get my energy back until that time, too. Completely normal.

I'm the same! I had my orientation at Kaiser a little over 2 weeks ago, where they told us to start on the pre-op diet. I had a BMI of 35 -- I'm 5'4" with a SW of 215. I've already lost 12 pounds, which drops me down to a BMI of 34. I have my first meeting with the surgeon tomorrow... I'm hoping to schedule surgery for July. If I keep up the weigh loss, I have to imagine I'll be at least at a 33 by then. Thankfully, I'm told that Kaiser goes by the orientation weight, so it shouldn't matter. If anything, I want my body to be as healthy as possible by the time I have surgery in order to reduce complications. But I'll also see what the surgeon says tomorrow when I meet him!
