Carie

I have never enjoyed exercising but have really liked using my elliptical. It is low impact and easy to use. I hope you are able to find the perfect match for you!

My surgery was on July 16th, so we are VERY close to the same amount of time post op. I am down 33 pounds. I also feel like my loss is slower than others too, but am SO grateful for the pounds that are gone. Don't be discouraged, just keep measuring your food, get in your water, protein and exercise.... The weight will come off.

I ordered mine online. My only complaint is that Unjury is VERY sweet, but I do like it a lot more than many other protein powders I have tried. Good luck finding the right one for you!

Your pictures are great! You can really see that you have lost...Stomach, legs, arms... Congratulations, way to go!!!

This was my first surgery also, so I understand what you mean! I also had tugging feelings, mainly on my left side. For me it went away around the 5th week. It would be a great idea to ask your doctor if what YOU are feeling is normal, but it does sound a lot like what I had. Good luck to you.

I had horrible nerve pain and had to be cared for, for about the first 4 weeks. I had to have help to sit down and stand. I could not lie down in bed for close to 3 weeks. I sat each night on the couch and had to call my husband to help me if I wanted to move at all. Once I could lie down, it too had to be with assistance. I was not prepared for all of that. I mainly heard the stories of how easy it was and how life was getting back to normal. I am in no way trying to discourage you; I am SO GLAD (now at 6 weeks) that I had the surgery. I think my case is probably not typical, but it is what happened to me. I wish you the very best in your journey.

I am only 4 weeks out now so I truly understand how hard it is not to be able to do the little things. I had severe nerve pain and could not even lie down for the first two weeks. I had to sleep, sitting on the couch, surrounded by pillows. I now can sleep in bed but am unable to lie on my side. If you had asked me a couple of weeks ago if having the surgery was worth it I would have said, "NO, run for your life!".... But with that said, with each passing day, it gets better and better, and I am very glad I had the surgery. Keep your head up, you will be able to do the things you want; We all just recover on very different timelines... Best of Luck to you
