Congrats FXD!! Take it slow and easy for a few days and concentrate on getting the fluids and protein in! Wishing you a speedy recovery!!

Yes I did not get even that much fluid in the first few days. All I can say is just keep sipping. As you heal you will get more in. Good luck in your journey

I found that using MFP has been a great help to keep me on track. I also enjoy the support of the other "losers"!!

I did not have anyone stay. People visited me and where there when I woke up but I told them to go as I knew I needed to sleep off the anesthesia and didn't want them to stay and watch me sleep lol!!

Congrats to all of you! I am 4 months out and have not felt this great since I was in my 20s!!! Worth every pia protein shake lol!! Best wishes and I will include you all in my prayers for a speedy recovery!!

Congrats!!

Call your doc, you really shouldn't be throwing up like that. You need nutrition to heal and get into a better state. I am sorry you lost your friend, sad.

Awww how exciting! Welcome to the club!

I don't worry anymore about stalls as everyone I have had I have lost inches!! If you haven't done your measurements do so and write them down for future comparison!! Hang in you are melting away!!!!!

Congrats!! I keep wanting to try running on the tredmill but I am fearful. Icant seem to push past 3.2 mikes for speed and 2 incline!! I usually do 2 miles in about 40 minutes and am drenched so I know I am benefitting!! But that is great for you and a great nsv!!

Kimmie- WOW!! I am down about 56 lbs and had surgery on Sept 10th!! You are an inspiration for me!!!!

NGM- hang in there. The good news is we can start over and move forward in our healthy lifestyle!! Suepeeps - amazing!!

I am with @notime! I wouldn't ask for his help anymore. You do not need this extra stress in your life, you need support and caring people around you.

I am Almost 4 months out and now use a scale to measure solids. I never asked my nut about this though so I might have to give her a call....

Aww, I am so sorry you are struggling. The good news is you are asking for help and that is the first step! This is not an easy journey but it wi be worth it in the long run!! Keep your appts that you have set up and try to begin following g the nuts guidelines. Hang in and use all the supports you have to turn this around for yourself , YOU are worth it!!!

I wear sweat pants and t shirts! I am there to work and sweat and do not care who sees me!! And at my gym most people are wearing the same stuff. Go get your sweat on and don't spend a lot on the clothes !!

Mandymay,that is fabulous!! What a great feeling.

Heating pad was a life saver for me! I also used sf Popsicles as a main source of getting fluids in the first few days home ! Best wishes and let us know how you make out

Sorry you have to go through this but I am sure you have researched this and believe it is the best thing for you to do. I had considered the band but my doc said he was no longer doing the band due the number of bands he had to remove from corrosion issues and that the band was not as successful with the amount of weight lost. I am glad I went with the sleeve as I have had no issues, am losing as I am suppose to and feel 20 years younger!! I wish you thievery best and know that you have a lot of support on here!! Do you use my fitness pal app? If so you can add me as a friend if you like, name is the same as on here. Keep us posted

Happy New Year to all my September Ladies! I am down 56 lbs and can't believe I actually lost weight over the holidays!!!! I still have 40 or so to go but am thrilled with how good I feel physically!! Here's to a wonderful thinner year ahead for us all!!!????

Great explanation!!

I would start tomorrow if that is in line with your docs instructions! Happy New Year and best wishes in the start of your journey!!!!!!
