Milk of magnesia

In the beginning I used Miralax and Milk of Mag and once I was able to drink more I started using this it works wonders Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I would probably choose to not speak to her anymore.about it .. Even though she is your best friend she could be more supportive even if she doesn't agree.. Look for support other places .. I love this forum and also I use Instagram a lot and love all the people I've met on there .. Good luck Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm 6 months into my journey and I feel like I'm going to be stuck at this weight forever! My body is arguing with me and I'm not winning this fight including pre-op I've lost a total of 75 lbs, "after" surgery I've technically only lost 55 lbs since August 3 and I feel like I'm failing at this .. I started at 260 pre op and now I'm 185.5 and I do eat what I'm supposed to although I'll admit I've had fall off the wagon meals (not quantity, quality) .. I know our body has stalls naturally but I'm just so worried that mine isn't going to budge past this point .. My weight loss has slowed and this month I've only lost 7.5 lbs and I just feel like I should still be losing 10lbs a month at 6 months out. Have any of you been through this!? Any advice? I'll take anything.. Im not even close to goal and I guess that's what scares me the most .. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thank you Ldyvenus! I'm sure you will get to your goal of 185 I'll just keep trucking along and work my way down even if it's slower than I'd hoped for .. Any progress is progress I suppose Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thank you tenseintexas .. I don't feel so alone.. I'm sorry you are having trouble too.. I try and keep my carbs under 30 and my Protein 60-80 and I hope that eventually that will work.. I can't seem to get in over 1000 calories most days unless I get a skinny latte which I'm trying to stay away from. Have you tried pairing your protein with a sauce I've heard that can help get it down so it isn't so dry.. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I would say that 95% of my food intake is bariatric friendly , yes sometimes I have popcorn or a skinny latte .. But I also don't think weight loss is black and white .. I wasn't looking for an opinion necessarily on the quality of food that I'm eating but more on what people experienced 6 months out .. I know I'm not technically"stalled" but my weight loss compared to the beginning is slower than it was. I started at 260 and now I'm 185. I'm just nervous about being stuck at a certain weight when I have my goals set on a lower number and I'm sure other people have had the same thoughts .. I wanted to know what other people have experienced 6 months out Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Anyone? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

It takes a while but it does get better!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Tired for weeks.. I was on liquids for 3 weeks post op.. It started to improve around then Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

A bump in the road! It will still be worth it in the end Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I have a Mirena and mine was all over the place.. It's due to the fat loss/releasing stored hormones.. It becomes more regular later.. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Don't worry! I stalled in week 3 .. It's the dreaded three week stall.. Everyone goes through it.. Consider it a right of passage.. And week 5 I gained 2 lbs! It's just your internal thermostat regulator adjusting your body is freaking out! Now, with that being said.. I freaked out too.. Just try and relax.. Do what your supposed to do and it will come off!! I'm 5 months out and including pre-op I'm down 72 lbs.. You'll get there!! . Also, look up the Instagram community for support too.. I use it and I love it Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Miralax Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Later use this when you can drink more Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

How are all of you doing? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

You look amazing! How many carbs/protein/calories did you stick to? I'm 5 months post VSG and including my pre-op diet I've lost 73 lbs but I have about 65 left to go .. I want to reach my goal too by my 1 year in August! Your my inspiration and any tips are appreciated

Is it possible to feel generally no restrictions? I'm drinking 1 oz every 10 minutes .. I have gas.. But other than that ..I'm doing ok.. Which makes me wonder why I don't feel any restrictions?

I'm August 3rd

Wow [emoji15] [emoji106]????

I'm waiting for my approval.. I might be end of July or beginning of August

Congrats [emoji322] that's a huge milestone, you should be proud!

Wow! You look great and I loved the post [emoji6] I've been working towards the journey of getting sleeved since February .. I've now completed everything and the doctor is submitting to my insurance for approval .. You've summed up what I've hoped will be possible for me as well. I'm so excited and crossing my fingers that I'll be approved (and soon) I can't wait to feel how your feeling! I just want to feel "normal" again [emoji16] it's something I've been waiting on for a long time.. Thanks for the great post.. It gives me hope for my future [emoji175]
