I'm 42 haven't gotten my friend since surgery on March 11th. Been put on hormone pills, I think I'm going through menopause but not sure. Haven't gotten any night sweats or heat flashes but, why not getting my period? My weight was 234 and now I'm 187.7. Maybe it's the weight loss or just old age? Who knows at least we r losing.

You look great, are u working out and walking a lot. Because I was sleeved on March 11th and I'm only down 42 lbs. How r u doing I want to know everything, right down to your eating schedule if u don't mind. I am so proud of you.. U r amazing, keep up the good work. Just tell how I can do it please. I don't mean to pry. Well maybe just a little lol. Will greatly appreciate it. My email is Hennie425@yahoo.com. Lets chat please, I have so many questions.

I am going to say one thing and that is. I started eating solids after six weeks and I found that, I could eat everything except anything fried. I would throw it all up. March 11th was my surgery, weighed 234lbs. Now I weigh 191lbs. I lose like 2lbs. a week now and I can barely keep anything down. I find myself praying that I don't throw everything up so I won't get so hungry every hour. I snack on lots of carrots and honey wheat pretzels with cream cheese, the one with onion and chives, that stays down pretty well, but I need meat. I make some bake chicken with stuffing and that agrees with me. I only eat a little but it tastes so good with mixed vegetables, boiled with a little sugar and when done some butter and some salt. It lasts about 3 days, and that's me eating it for Breakfast, lunch and dinner. I can't stomach anything else. Don't know what to do? I hate Soups and broth, can't stand cottage cheese and I am starting to hate yogurts. What else can I make any suggestions? Please give me some ideas? Need help on what to eat for march sleeves.

Hi, I,m a March 11th vsg newbie and this is my first attempt trying to connect with anyone with this surgery. Im 5'2 and weighed 234lbs the day of surgery and now I currently weigh 193.3lbs. I know I have a long way to go but I feel great. My goal weight is 160 or 150 if I'm strong enough. I'm 42 years old and have 2 wonderful daughters ages 20 and 12. I have a great man for a little over eight years who supports and stands by me through all my struggles, which makes me very blessed and lucky. I am ovarian cancer survivor since 2000. In 2008 I had diverticulitis surgery and had 14 inches of my intestine removed. I suffered, but some how made it through again. On the day of my vsg surgery I also had 3 hernias repaired and some adhesions removed, so that made it 3 different types of surgeries all in the same day. Now, I recently underwent a mammogram exam and was told that I needed a biopsy on May 9th, had It done, uncomfortable but lived through It. Now what kills me is that I have been over weight for the past 10 years and I've felt that I am exactly where I want to be now in my life. I'm losing the weight my kids are doing well in school and my relationship couldn't be any better and on May 20th I went in for my results. I was told I now have breast cancer, stage zero. Need surgery to remove a mass and was told after recovery I would need radiation 5 days a week for 6 weeks and have to be on a certain medication for five years after that. Could you believe my misfortune, I still can't believe this is happening and I'm going crazy. I am sorry I have laid all this on you, it's just I needed to tell someone I don't have any emotional attachment too so they can tell me it is all worth it. Cause I feel like giving up. Please post my story to everyone who can help. I am new at this and don't know how to do it myself. Please help, I'm begging you. If anyone has any information, I would love to hear it right about now.. Tell me how go on without crying every minute? Thanks.
