Needing Help From My Women Sleevers Out There..
wantobeskinny commented on Soon to be me's blog entry in Soon to be me's Blog
My weight tends to fluctuate around 3 pounds during that time of the month. It is most likely very normal for you to have higher numbers during your period. I always try to stay away from the scale during that week. It only causes unecessary stress for me. Don't feel bad about one off day of eating either. I've had plenty of those. -
Amber Dawn, I was sleeved the same day as you. I feel like I am losing really slowly as well. I have lost 42 pounds so far. Today is our 4 month surgiversary. I am glad to have lost that much, but I havn't seen the scale move in a month. It's kinda frustrating. You sound like you are getting in more liquid and protein than me. I just started walking/jogging... so hopefully that will help. I just thought I'd lose faster than this. Hopefully we'll both get back to moving soon!

The Good The Bad And The Ugly

I've been feeling like this a lot lately! I've been at a stall for a while... I had surgery on 12/12... I have lost 35 pounds. I don't know how much is typical in the first two months, but I really wish this stall would go away for good! Congrats on all your progress so far! -
Congrats on reaching one of your goals! I'm about 14 weeks out... lost 35 pounds. I feel like I'm losing slowly. How much have you lost so far?
-
Havn't been on here in a while. Hope everyone is doing good! I'm stalled again after a 9 pound loss a few weeks ago... Frustrating, but what can you do?

Cellulitis: Has Anyone Else Developed This Post-op?
wantobeskinny posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hey Everyone, It seems that I have developed Cellulitis on my face... it started about 3ish weeks post-op. It is a bacterial infection of the skin, which can show up in different places on the body. It is very painful... Kinda like a whole bunch of fire ants bit me on the face, red, warm, itchy, swollen, oozing (gross!). It is really terrible. I went to the Doctor (not Bariatric) and they gave me some antibiotics about five days ago. I thought it was getting better, but today it has flared up again pretty badly. Has anyone else developed Cellulitis after surgery? Should I contact the Bariatric surgeon? Do you know how long it takes to heal? Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks! -
Cellulitis: Has Anyone Else Developed This Post-op?
wantobeskinny replied to wantobeskinny's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks everyone. I ended up going back to the ER this saturday. This ER doctor is testing me for lupus. I then went to the Dermatologist today... he seems to think it may not be lupus, but just a hormonal reaction because my body has gone through so much lately. It is really hard to diagnos right now because of all of the changes... in medication, diet, lifestyle, etc. Thanks for your comments! I hope this helps someone else in the future also. -
I Don't Know What To Do About My Family Anymore....
wantobeskinny commented on illgeturhairdid's blog entry in illgeturhairdid's Blog
Hi! Your entry really sounds like something I could have written myself. I have watched my mother develop many of the same symptoms and problems as those you described for yours. She is not yet as severe as what your mom is going through, but I fear that her life will develop into that in a few years. I bring her food because I feel guilty if I don't, all the time knowing that what she is eating is adding fuel to the fire. It is one of the hardest things to watch. Knowing you can't do anything to change it is also a terrifying feeling. It's like you can see yourself mirrored in that person... but luckily we have had the surgery and taken the steps to prevent us from turning into our parents. We are making the best change we can for us! I really hope the best for your family and mine. -
Feeling pretty down today with the continued stall and the cellulitis on my face flaring up. Just wanting to feel back to normal.
