I'm in the same boat. I'm 8 months out and have been stalled for six weeks. I'v started working out consistently, so I hope that's causing my stall. I'm starting to get nervous.

When Do People Notice?
Phi Phi replied to sramos89's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'll be 6 months out next week. I'm a slow looser. I'm down 55 lbs. People just started noticing last week. Three people at work commented on my weight loss. Noone there knows I had surgery. -
When I'm board I find I want to snack. Just recently I realized I'm not really hungry. It's all in my head. I want to eat, but as long as I focus on my stomach and the fact I'm not hungry I can control the snacking. I've started to make a conscious effort to only eat 3 meals a day with no snacking.

I'm five months out and still take mine everyday.

I felt the same way after surgery. I had buyers remorse. It gets better, I'm so thankful for my sleeve now.

I will be 5 months out this Sunday, and I'm right there with you 48 lbs so far. Started at 238. It's been discouraging, especially when you read how people lose 40 or 50 lbs the first month or two. I figure the slower I loose, the less excess skin I will have. Just keep doing what your doing and be patient. Good luck.

Cant Get Enough Protein Down…

The only premade protein I can drink in premier protein from Sams Club. It reminds me of a yoo-hoo. I do like to make my own shakes with unflavored protein powder, sugerfree pudding, and fruit. -

Sleeved This Past Monday-Home Terrified Today
Phi Phi replied to Looking Ahead's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had horrible pain in my back while my drain was in. As soon as it was removed I felt so much better. I hope you do to. -
I could not see the news paper to read it for about a week. The doctor said it was normal, because of the medications I was on.
-
My doctor prescribed me the same thing, but I couldn't keep in down in the hospital. They sent me home with a prescription for pills. I had to break them in half, but it worked.

How many calories should I be getting at two weeks out? I've noticed when I can get in more calories the scale goes down.

Did You Or Are You Keeping Your Sleeve A Secret?
Phi Phi replied to letsdothis!!!'s topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I was sleeved May 14th. I only told my husband, son and mother. I'm a very private person. I don't want to have to answer questions at work or family gatherings. -
My doc said by day three or four I should be getting my 60 grams of protein in.
-
Thanks for all the ideas. I was able to find the Century chewables.

I can't take the powder post op vitamins from the doctor. Any suggestions on what to take?

6D Post Op - Tummy Seems Swollen Today
Phi Phi replied to kccgm's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm seven days post op. My arm was red and tender to the touch where my iv was. The doctor said to put warm moist heat on it three times a day. It worked, I didn't have to make a trip to the office. -
I've read several post about people having drains removed. Does everyone get a drain? My surgeon didn't mention it.
