I had surgery 10-17-13. Still haven't reached my weight loss goal. I got down to 192. That's it. I've gained 40lbs back and am now at 226. I can not get my behavior right. Drinking Water is like torture. I'm most likely dehydrated and exhausted.

I'll look that up. I've bought so many different kinds of water containers it's not funny. I will be able to get my fluids in. Lol.

Thank you for the feedback. I'm definitely going to keep working on trying to get it right.

I am 18mths out. I still have 50lbs to get to my goal. I have not been eating as I should and honestly started off on the wrong foot after surgery. Has anyone used Weight Watchers to get to goal post surgery?

Thanks for the feedback. I think I'm going to join.

I'm in the same boat.

I had surgery 10/17/13 with Dr. Carmody. He's a great surgeon. I have not reached goal due to my own poor choices. Starting to gain weight. Do any of you know when they have the support groups at St. Mary's?

Check it out. It just launched today. www.LoveAfterWLS.com

Awesome!!!

Thank you. I'm just upset because this has been a long standing issue when I tried to lose weight before surgery. I would get close to onderland and then start regaining weight. I'm upset that I've had over half my stomach removed and still can't get under 200.

I'm so depressed and discouraged. I can't get under 200 lbs. Lost 70 since surgery on 10/17/13.

Slow day at work, and guess what I want to do? Eat! This is my 5th day back on track. I've lost 67 since surgery and want to lose 50 more. Ugh. How do you deal with wanting to eat when bored?

Dr. Carmody is a rock star!

I'm wondering if that's normal during that time for us women. I would suggest weighing in like once a week taunting yourself daily or every few days can be discouraging...hopefully after your monthly visit you will bounce bk...pls update on that I'm a little curious...good luck Hi. I'm down to 242 now. I'm trying to get into the 230s. I'm hoping it happens for me soon. I'm losing weight slower than I imagined. Though looking at the post I made earlier, I'm glad I'm not in the 250s.

Hi, I was sleeved on the 17th. I'm not sure if I'm entering a stall of if my body is still holding on to fluid because it's that TOM. I'm on the last days, so I'm wondering. I'm also learning how to eat slow and take small bites. I've been doing a lot of belching when I eat, and when I eat some foods with more texture I feel it in my chest. It is very uncomfortable and annoying. I truly hope that this goes away. I hope as time goes on food slides down easy.

Okay. It seems like it happened to me right when the dreaded "3rd week stall" happens. So I'm not sure. But my weight has actually gone up another lb. It's crazy. I'm hardly eating anything. Weird. I'll def. keep you updated.

Surgery 10-17-13 HW: 295 SW: 272 CW: 251(got down to 249, but then my period happened. I gained 3lbs and have been stuck at 251 for 3 days)

Hi. I'm doing well. Each day it gets better. The only lasting pain I have is the largest incision on my right side. I am so anxious to start mushies. I got to my check-up appointment on 10/31. I am noticing that some days it's hard to get those fluids in. I'm trying though. I have different juices and am trying. You are very inspirational, I will take into account really limiting the carbs and keeping a good amount of Protein in my daily diet.

I have right side pain also. I'm 10 days out, and that largest incision has been basically the only one that hurts. I can't wait until it goes away.

9 days down. I have one incision, the largest one that is sore. I'm ready to move on to mushies. Getting tired of liquids. Almost feel like i've been on a liquid diet for a month. I'm happy I've been doing well though. I'm 12lbs down as of this morning since surgery day. Feeling kinda tired though.

As the time get's closer the more nervous I become. I don't know what changes my life will take and how I will look. I think the biggest thing is how will I look. I also have braces on, so my teeth will be looking nice also. I've had a front gap for years and that has been closed. I wonder once I reach my goal weight and the braces come off, will I recognize myself.

I'm 9 days out and have been craving bacon. Heck, I've been craving meat. Ugh.5 more days before my 2wk check up.

Thanks guys! Tomorrow is the big day. I have to be at the hospital at 6AM. I'm packing my bag and about to get into bed.

Having surgery tomorrow. Can you share some tips for success? You have done great! Congrats!
