I NEED SO MUCH HELP!!! I'M 12 DAYS POST OP. I DO NOT FEEL GOOD. I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO APPITITE!!! I'M SUPPOSED TO BE EATING 5 SMALL MEALS A DAY DRINKING 32 OZ OF WATER AND TAKING ALL MY VITAMINS!! I CAN NOT STAND TO CHEW MY MULTI VITAMIN AND TO BE HONEST I HAVE NOT TAKIN IT IN 5 DAYS. I ALSO CANNOT GET ENOUGH PROTEIN. I CAN'T STAND THE POWDER. IS THERE OTHER WAYS TO GET IT?? I JUST FEEL LIKE THINGS WILL NEVER BE NORMAL AGAIN. I KNOW IT'S ONLY BEEN 12 DAYS BUT I HATE THIS FEELING AND ON TOP OF THAT THE DR IS MAKING ME STOP MY XANEX AND TRYING ANOTHER MED THAT MAKES ME JUST WANT TO SLEEP. I JUST NEED ADVICE LITS IF ADVICE!!!

I'm 4 months post op and I'm 46 lbs down and at a stand still. I'm Si depressed that it's not coming off quicker!! I know I eat some of the wrong things but I try and try to stay on track! It's so hard! I'm have issues with my shoulder, I had to be put to sleep for a manipulation on it past week and its keeping me from working out. I can't lift weights I can't get in the floor and do any exercising bc of the arm. I just want the pain to go away so I can start building some Muscle!! Just need a kick in the pants!!!

Thanks guys, yeah, I know the things I do that are wrong but that's my problem I get discouraged and want to give up, so I need some words or advice to get me over that hump!! I think I'm ok with my protein but my hair is coming out rapidly. I take biotin and I take a multi vitamin. But maybe it's not enough. I do walk every day, 2 miles! Now, I live in the Atlanta area and we have had lots of rain since Christmas and that henders me and the cold also. I started back walking yesterday and I must say I do feel better. Thanks for the motivation and advice!! I'll take all I can get!!!

Im 3 weeks post op and 20 lbs down. It was so easy at first to not over eat and really, I didn't have an appetite at all, but now I fund myself not wanting to eat too much, but eat things that aren't actually good for me!! I hate my brain. It drives me crazy. I think about food all the time!!! I don't work, I'm on disability due to, two back surgeries, fibromyalgia, diabetes, arthritis and just general poor health. I have a lot of time on my hands. I try to walk when I'm not in pain. I can't do weights because my fibro, is attacking my biceps, I've never felt so much pain. I can barely lift my arms over my head. I want to get motivated. I want to walk everyday atleast a mile, two would be even better!! I need advice. I need an accountability partner. I hate myself right now. I'm still not getting enough protein, I'm supposed to be logging my meals but I just don't.... Please help

I have been so nauseated lately. My food is not digesting well and Si I'm throwing up atleast 3 times a week. Any one else having this issue. My surgery was on September 18th. I'm down 35 lbs. Is there any harm in going back to full liquid diet again.

all I do is think about foo it makes me so mad at mysel

I find that when I wake up I'm full of energy, so I get on my gear and I go walking, but about an hour after I can't keep my eyes open. Does napping after walking hurt my calorie burning or sabotaged my weight loss??

I have had two concerns or questions over the past 3 weeks and while a whole lit of people view or read my concern, no one is willing to answer or reply to mt post. Am I posting my concerns in the wrong place. I thought this forum was full of veterans who have been through all this and succeeded!! Should I just ask another forum? Bc I'm getting nothing on here.

Wow!!! So proud of u!!!

I'm so scared I'm going to ruin my weight loss. I do not work so my day consist of watching tv, light housework and maybe going to visit a friend. I am so afraid of getting back into my old rabbits of emotional eating. I'm working on getting a therapist that can help me a little but I still see myself wanting to eat bad things and too much of it!!! Help!!! If I could think if something that I could snAck on that wouldn't take up a lit of room in mt tummy and wouldn't be bad for me that way i could have it when I feel the impulse to eat. I also am having a hard time getting myself motivated to walk. I can't really do a lot bc if my back and my arms. I go to my neurologist on the 5th about the pain in my arms. Any words of encouragement would help!!!

Yes I am on disability. I will probably find some work when I have list mire weight but as of now my pain level will only allow me to Do so much. I'm too heavy for a bike right now. I Luke the idea of the games ans finding a hobby. I would live to paint but finAncially its hard to buy all that stuff. I never thought about freezing my smoothies!! That's a great idea. I love popsicles!! thanks for all the great advice!!!

Do any of you fast? (spiritually)? I'm a Christian and recently I have felt lead to fast. I'm only doing it 2 days at a time, as to get my body used to no food. It's been pretty easy so far. I stay in God's word and pray. It really makes me feel good. I do a juice fast. I can only have juice a little at a time. Just looking for others.

I trying to connect with people who share my faith and background to discuss fasting. I'm a Christian and I feel lead to fast a lot and I just want to connect with people who have fasted Si soon after surgery.

Thank you so much for your advice!!

I was just really wanting to try to connect with other people of my faith and background.

Well he said as ling as it dint make me sick to go without food then he don't see why I couldn't do it.

Wow!!!! You look great!!! Any advice as to working out and what you eat?? I'm 5 weeks post op and 26 lbs down!!

I have totally not been counting calories. I really honestly forgot. I have lost 18 pounds in a little under three weeks!!! How many of you forget to count calories or protein??

Wow!!! I was 318 at time if surgery, in 3 weeks and 2 days post op and I'm 298!

How much did you weigh going in. You don't look that big sitting in the chair. I see the difference though, great job, I can't wait to see what I look like at 6 months!!

I found it, that's the one I've downloaded, thanks

My mom is on my tail bc she thinks I'm eating wrong. I followed the list for the first two weeks. I've lost 18 pounds (that's without exercise). I started experimenting with foods to see what my stomach could handle for example I eat a large fried egg in the morning with a little salt and pepper. The other day I tried eating with it a dry small piece of toast. Nothing happened. I felt fine. She said it was too much food. But I added, bread is a lot of air and once I chew it up its a very small amount, what do you think? I'm also eating homemade chicken salad, about two tspns, on a piece of lettuce or on one piece of bread. I'm drinking slim fast so I can help get my protein. I drink milk, I'm eating the mini baby bell cheese, yogurt. She is just worried about the bread being to much. Any wise advice??

Out and I'm soaked. Stupid auto correct!

Yeah I've heard of that bread. Well I started walking 15 minutes ago and now the bottom has fell outward I'm soaked. I'm sick of rain!!!
