Im New To This Site Please Help!

Make sure you're getting in enough protien!!! Sometimes you need to eat a little more to see a drop.. But a lot could be muscle now. Measure yourself too- those numbers shrinking will make you feel good!! Good luck -
I gained 8lbs in the hospital. It comes off fast. I've lost 25lbs since I've been home (2 weeks tomorrow).

My hubby is pretty supportive so far.. But gets in remarks of what will happen one I've lost all my weight.. But I also have a close friend who gets in her shots saying I can't be her drinking buddy anymore.. The next few months could be very interesting..

I was also told to take sugar free milk of mag or metimucil to help.. Pain meds and protien are goin to reek havoc on our systems for a bit.. We can do this!!

tstevens28 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi- almost 2 weeks post op- down 19 pounds- but getting real sick of protein shakes. Can't move to stage 4 until Tuesday. I think then I can have puréed chicken, fat free refried beans, and other stuff.. Any good mushy foods you can recommend??? Thanks all!!! -
A Lot Of Pain! :(
tstevens28 replied to tstevens28's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I've been walking a lot- but I also have a toddler- and I have probably picked him up/helped him up more than I should.. I also went back to work a week after discharged from hospital.. How long did you all go back after surgery???
