6 Month Post Surgery Question
shaza1963 replied to lisi287's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You are doing good. I am at 7 months and have "only" lost 46 lbs (yay!) I just came out of a 3 month stall. Talk about feeling like a failure. I tried everything to break that stall. My doctor said it was my bodies way of adjusting. Down 4 lbs in 2 weeks. It is hard but you can get through this. -
shaza1963 started following Anyone from Virginia?, 6 Month Post Surgery Question, Yes! and and 7 others

Yay! month stall has finally broke. 4 lbs lost this week. I weigh 172 lbs and am officially overweight. I was beginning to feel like a failure.

First my NSV. After 20 years I can finally wear my "official" wedding ring. I was so excited I almost cried. I had to take a picture an text it to my husband. Yay! Also the same day my daughter decided to show me how far I have come. I haven't list any weight in 2 months (ever since the doctor started messing with my synthroid) and I was saying that I don't feel like I look that different. She had to prove me wrong and made a side by side photo. I have never been so excited to be proven wrong. In the first I was at my highest weight of 248 and the second is at my current weight of 177.

The Big Book on Bariatric Surgery: Living Your Best Life After Weight Loss Surgery has arrived!
shaza1963 replied to Alex Brecher's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I just bought it and I can't wait to read it. I am going to make my husband read it as well. He has been hindering more than helping for the past few months. Thank you Alex for this site and these books. -
Sick to my Stomach.. Normal?
shaza1963 replied to NavyMom6's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I could not drink plain water for a long time. It occasionally makes me nauseous to this day and I am almost 6months out. Warm herbal tea and crystal light were/are my go to drinks. This is normal. It will get better. -
Madame you were sorely missed. Glad you had a great vacation. You look wonderful.

So glad your home. I have been thinking if you. You are an inspiration to us all.

Your not alone. I haven't lost any weight in 6 weeks. And my hunger is forming back . And now that my husband (a school teacher) is off for the next two months it is going yo be very hard.
-
I'm am oncology nurse and there is slot of heavy lifting, so my Dr gave me 6 weeks off. I'm so glad he did. It is so hard to get my fluids in on the days I work, so I try to get as much hydration in my days off. Take as much time as you can.

medical bracelets for Sleevers?
shaza1963 replied to skinnygirlwithin's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had been planning on doing this for some allergies, but didn't like the styles. Now I have a cute bracelet with all of my "important" information. Thank you for the link. -
Yesterday my husband had enough. He couldn't stand seeing me in my baggy yoga pants anymore (so he said), so he took me shopping. I started to pick out size 16, while HW picked out 12's. I said no way am I a 12, he insisted I try them on. OMG a size 12 jean and they fit. They actually buttoned! And to top it all off he had picked out skinny jeans. Me in skinny jeans! If you had told me this 4 months ago I would have laughed and called you crazy. So of course he bought them for me. After a few rocky months, I can honestly say I love my sleeve.
