How long does it take to work??

I still am having trouble. I called the dr. He called in some lacutose. I hope it helps. Has anybody ever tried it?

I am 3 months post op as of August 2. I went for my 3 month check up with my surgeon and I have almost lost 53 lbs!! I started at 278 on surgery day. Today I was 225. I can't wait to get below 200. I have never felt better and I can't remember last time I was under 200!! Hopefully I will hit onederland soon!!!

Congrats on your new life. Stay focused. You will love it. I am 3 months post op and have lost 53 lbs. it is the hardest thing I have done but most rewarding. If you need anything let me know..

I am 3 months post op and to this day I have depression episodes. Not as bad or often as I did. Just keep your head up and focus on your new life.

I had surgery May 2. 3 months post op I have lost 53 lbs as of today!!

I was wondering if we were allowed to have hamburgers on a George foreman grill without the bun? I haven't had one since surgery in May.

You look great. Keep it up!!

I was wondering which was better walking or the treadmill?

I started the gym last week. I usually do at least 30 min on the treadmill and then at least 5 on the elliptical. I am out of shape bad so the elliptical hurts. I am hoping to also walk an hour in the mornings then gym in the evenings.

Great job. You look amazing. I am 21 and 3 months out. How was your exercise routine??

I had surgery May 2,2012. I am almost 3 months post op. I was doing great. I have lost 43 lbs. Walking everyday and eating really healthy. Now I have lost it. I have nobody to walk with anymore. It seemed like everybody was supportive at first but recently nobody wants to walk with me and everybody around eats un healthy. My fiance acts like he don't care anymore if I do right or not. I have been depressed and not doing like I have been. i really need my encouragement back. This sucks!!

So i started the gym yesterday with my fiancée. I love it. We have done the treadmill, and elliptical, and stair climber.

Welcome and congrats on your new life!!!

You look great. Can't wait to get confident enough to post pics.

Okay guys and gals. I have good news. As i posted earlier i have decided to tell every body to either support me or oh well. I'm pressing on. Me and my fiance have had a long talk about he needs to get healthy and i would appreciate his support but if not thats fine. He decided to help and support me and we are joining a gym on Thursday together. It is not a huge gym mostly weights treadmill stationary bike and elliptical.

Thanks for the advice. I have told everyone. If they dont wanna support me then fine. Ill be a one person army.

That is awesome. I am 21 and 3 months out. I hope i have as much success. What was your workout routine like?

Thanks jade. That really means alot. I have always been overweight and i feel like a skinny person trapped in a big persons body. Lol. I hope things pick up soon. I have always been bad to put myself down. Hopefully soon i wont anymore ill be the person i wanna be

I am from east TN. I hope it all picks back up. Thanks. Im here if u wanna talk also

Congrats on your new life. Just follow your dr orders and don't give up. I am almost 3 months post op and do not regret it one bit.

Congrats on your new life!! I had mine May 2,2012. I would not turn it around for anything. Rest up and don't overdo it!! Good Luck

I am 6 days post op. I have been drinking the strawberry protein shakes they were the only ones I could find I liked. I was wondering if I could add anything for a different taste. I can barely get it down. I an getting so,tired of the taste.

I have the hot flashes. I think it is dumping. I go back to the surgeon Tuesday and i am asking.
