skye

I'm 1 year out I'm a nurse in cardiac Cath lab took 10 weeks really glad I did due to lead dress and call

I'm almost a year out remember how you feel the first few weeks will be hard but it truly get better everyday I do it again in a second just take it one day at a time good luck

This is so me hungry all the time it is the most disappointing part of this surgery. Every day I say Ill be better then I'm not 25 # left to go but life is in the way work home life leave me little time to exercise making bad choice here and there How did I ever do pre diet wish I could just one more time Pity party done I will do this thanks for all the great post it helps to know I'm not the only one

That is so me I 9 months out and yes Hungry thanks for great tips haven't lost since Jan lost my father suddenly in Dec and then winter 20 # to go hopefully summer will get me out and moving

I am right there with you. I was sleeved on Aug 28 and have also not lost for about 2 months. I even did a 3 week exercise bootcamp that totally kicked my butt and nothing was lost. At my 5 month follow-up I was told to keep doing what I am and not to worry...easy for them to say <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> but they did explain to me that the average is to lose up to 70% of our weight within 2 years and that in 5 months I am at 52% so I was told I am ahead of the game. Any suggestions to break this stall would be very helpful...I plan on getting to the 100% mark of weight lose.

Hi all haven't posted here Ina while surgery 8/20 have lost 50ils now170 to 172 day to day have also had a 2 month stall feel like this is it hoping when winter is over and can get out more it will start again 30 more pounds to go I also can eat way too much I really have to think about it so frustrated

Hello Everyone ' date='

I was sleeved on August 21, 2012 . My start weight was 243 and I'm now done to 188. I am so disappointed with myself as I have not lost weight in 2 months. I'm so frustrated and don't know if this is normal to go this long with out losing. Any one out there in the same situation ??[/quote']

I was sleeved the day before you started at 223 noe 170 and haven't lost for 2 months also need to go back to no carbs but that will be so hard again just need to motivate myself

My doc puts you on puréed day 4 and soft week 2 didn't really eat much week one it now week 6 and no real problems can eat veggies now even tried a little fruit my weightbloss is slow but ok I did have lots of pain ESP incision for 5 weeks now just a little sore at times

You give me hope

I had the same issues was in a ton of pain and ever time I got up I vomited the nausea was unreal I 3 weeks out and still a little uncomfortable but much better know you'll fel pretty crappy for about a week then all good stay in the hospital and let them take care of you for now

I'm taking 8 weeks not sure I need that long but I'm 3 weeks today and no way couldI go back my large incision still hurts and really hurts if I move a certain way I have to wear lead and I just couldn't do it yet

Good luck Diva so glad it's over with your on your way

I took ambient Pre op no problems love that stuff trick is go straight to bed

Yes I had that problem the first week couldn't drink or walk much better now 8 days out

so...im 7 days out. feeling wonderful- the first day when i came out of surgery' date=' i started to think "wtf have i done" cuz it hurt lol. but a couple days later, i was good to go. learning a lot about techniques to help with any pains i have, learning a lot about others too. went to the store, avoided the no-no stuff (cookie and chip aisle) but did happen to look down it from the main aisle...what i noticed was a VERY distinct difference between the kinds of people on each kind of aisle, something i never noticed before. i dont judge, but i found myself looking at those in the healthier aisle and going "i am working towards THAT kind of body". and im having cravings for weird vegetables ive never really wanted before...

did they remove part of my brain as well??? lol

got my first round of pics done since the day of surgery and i am simply shocked. shocked is the only word I have for this feeling <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

I am posting them in my album on my profile <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />[/quote']

I'm 7 days too but still have a lot of big insion pain other than that feel good on purred food and ate a little more today than I thought I could

We're all going to have those cravings it's absolute ridiculous to think you will never have a bite or taste of something you once enjoyed if that's all your going to do accept it take the bite and move on we're all human with cravings don't beat your self up

I think she needs to make up her mind if your meeting your calorie requirement and doing it with small frequent meals and losing who,to,say she right if your comfortable and doc is ok I think your doing great

You look fabulous congrats

Just zofran works ok just get so full

I'm 5 days out I can't get any Protein in nausea and weakness trying some watered down Gatorade now this is way harder than I expected

Done on Monday rough 3 days hernia repair now on blood pressure meds wtf slower recovery than I like but it will get better unfortunately my husband leaves Sat forAsia for3 weeks this is going to be the hardest for me a at least I don't have to plan meals

Remember the more invasive the more risk your Dr would of informed you if bypass was more appropriate Go with your gut was done on Monday and it wasn't fun but better every day know in the end it will all be worth it

4 days post suppose to be on purred can barely get fluids including Protein Shakes too nauseated is it worse because of hernia repair

Congrats to him wow that just wonderful

Ready lets go people!

I'm at 9 :15 will join you same day
