    Help

    I am 9 months post OP, and have lost almost 90lbs. In the last week I have GAINED 10lbs!!! I know I haven't been on top of the food choices but they haven't been horrible. I am just finishing TOM so idk if that has any impact. Do u think stress would play a part? I'm going thru a messy divorce and stress is constant. Do u think I should go back to protein shakes for a few days?? Just looking for advice, I am freaking out. Has anyone else had this happen? I'm so scared that I will put the weight back on.

    How long were you out of work?

    Everyone is different but I went back a day short of a week but I have a desk job. I felt good, not nearly as tired as I thought I would be. Just remember to get your fluids in! Good luck! Getting the sleeve is the best decision I have ever made!

    Ugh! A Stall

    Oh the wonderful stalls....I understand your frustration! I stalled about about a week and a half when I was about 3 weeks post op. I thought I would be the only one out there that the sleeve didn't work for There are a lot of people that run into the same thing!! Although it is frustrating as heck, keep your head up and know you will overcome it! Just a bump in our wonderful journey to becoming healthy!

    Vsg In Minneapolis Area?

    I also had Dr Jones out of Park Nicollet. I had a great experience from first walking into the office to going to my post op appts. Everyone is friendly and helpful and most of the nurses have been through a WLS themselves which made me feel better. I am a little over a month post op and have had no problems at all. Was back to work in less than a week. My friend had hers done there also and recommended Dr. Jones. She is about a year and a half out and still has good things to say about them. Good luck with your journey!! It is worth all the work!!! Best decision I have made!

    Stalls:(

    I am on week 2 of the 3rd week stall...I understand how crazy it can make you!! I have been frustrated and feel like a failure. But it is encouraging to read that others go through the same thing and it will eventually break. Hang in there a up and keep your head up! We will be "losers" in no time
  9. Oh my gosh thank you for posting this! I am on my second week for this stall and I am going crazy. I cannot seem to break myself of weighing everyday and it gets frustrating! It even went up 2 lbs at one point!! I start thinking that maybe this is not going to work for me and I will fail like the countless other diets I have done. It feels good to know others are going thru this too and that it will eventually end. So glad I can come on here and feel better! Thanks and good luck to you!!
  10. I was also told no vitamins until the pureed stage...it is amazing how different Drs have different rules and preop diets.

    Eating Solids

    I have had the same thought. And as much as I know that everyone is different, it still feels like I am the only one that is eating too much. I think we get an idea of what it is going to be like after surgery and if something is slightly different then that we panic. I am sure you are doing fine...just worrying Stay strong!
