Thats awesome. So happy for you

Thats good. Just dont over do it. Ive been wanting to push at the gym but since im back at work finally i do alot of pushing and pulling there. So im already sore by the time i get to the gym. Keep up the good work. How much have you lost since surgery... If you dont mind my asking

Hello everyone... Havent been on here in awhile. Just wanted to see how everyone is doing.

IF NO ONE ELSE HAS BEEN ADVISED... I HAVE BEEN INFORMED TO WEAR A MEDICAL BRACELET STATING YOUR NAME, GASTRIC BYPASS WITH MONTH AND YEAR OF YOUR SURGERY, NO BLIND NG TUBE, NO NSAIDS/ NO SUGARS, AND CONTACT NUMBER.

so glad I'm not the only slow loser in the bunch. haven't checked my weight since my one week appt. but it has been rather discouraging.

totally not related to anything on this site... but... I GET MY NEW TRUCK NEXT WEEK!!!! no more being house bound.

not sure if I will be able to tolerate cheese. but I guess I will have to find out soon. thanks for the suggestion.

quick question... I will be starting my stage 4 diet sunday. and it's showing thinly sliced deli lean meats.. what can we use to go with it since we aren't supposed to have bread?

still not feeling a difference in weight. saturday will be my two week mark. I still don't have an appetite. not able to get any protein in. tried all sorts of ways with the powder, and tried premade protein drinks. my stomach isn't tolerating it at all. so I've just been getting my fluids in, having my popsicles, pudding, applesauce, broth, cream of chicken, and jello. taking my vitamins and doing my walking. hard to get over to the gym since I still don't have my truck. hoping my insurance company speeds things up.

I've spent so much money it's ridiculous. hoping to figure something out real soon. I have another week of this diet before I can proceed to the next steps.

I've tried it with smoothies as well and still a no go. prob gonna call my nutritionist tomorrow. I don't know what else to do. I'm starting to get discouraged

protein has been a huge issue... my stomach isn't tolerating any of the powders. I'm getting in my water. and since I've been on third shift for 7yrs my body is trying to catch up on sleep too. I was just cleared to start back at the gym. I am going to do my walking and water aerobics today. I hope something turns around for me soon

I am only a week post op.. had my one week appt friday and wasn't expecting any difference in the scale. my last weigh in at the doctor office was 271.. and after that nasty drink my weight at the hospital was 267... my one week weigh in was 258. I also feel like I should be losing more. I asked my doc what I was doing wrong and he told me that I'm not doing anything wrong. normally if you have a fatty liver it can take from there first. and make sure your drinking and doing your walking as well. I just want more results then what I am seeing. I get so discouraged when I read other peoples stories of big amounts of weight taken off... but then again I think of the ability to be tightening up as I'm slowly losing and don't have to worry bout the loose skin as much. we need to keep our heads up and keep positive. best of luck

I'm taking pepcid. I have some of the nectar powders but yet to try it with water. I plan on calling my nutritionist. cause my appt isn't until the 15th

having such a hard time with protein stuff. I have ordered the unjury unflavored protein powder that I can put in my food and drinks and my stomach isn't tolerating it at all. and I haven't been able to use anything with milk... well non fat milk or skim milk.... what am I to do? I'm getting no protein in :-(

thats awesome. i had my surgery on 12/28/12 and im not finding any difference in weight. i have no apetite at all. but i am making sure i do put something in my system. hoping i see some results soon.

I know I haven't been obeying the rule of no drinks right now. and it hasn't been bothering my stomach. but I know I will have to when I have more solid foods.

thanks that means alot.

thanks hun. I hope someone does too. since I always drop what I'm doing. but we shall see

sorry to hear you guys are struggling with depression and what not. I'm only four days post op and I don't have any regrets at all. I hope things will get easier in time. keep your heads up

I hope so too

I've gotta do something. can only relax and sleep so much. but everyone that has said to call them if I need anything aren't picking up their phones. so when time comes back around that I have a new vehicle and someone needs something... well sorry you weren't there for me. so why should I drop what I'm doing. and I just found out my boyfriends brother totaled his truck last night. so now my boyfriend is without a truck as well. ugh
