Had mine done at St Luke in phx. I was back at work in 2 weeks. We have a support meeting at the hospital if u eould like to join me. I would love to meet u. During this you need all the support you can get. I am here

I am in phx too just had my surgery a month ago. Would love to chat.

Thanks everyone for your input I am going to listen to the adivce and move forward.

All of you have inspired me to be patient with myself. After reading everyone's journey I can relax and stop beating myself up. Had my surgery August 5 and have lost a total of 31 pds. This week I haven't lost any and honestly felt lost. Thank You all for posting I feel now I can get back on the right path again.

I feel just like you I ate chocolate today expecting to be sick and nothing. I am almost a month out. I have not lost any weight this week have not gained either. I feel like I am slipping back into old habits. After this holiday I will contact a therapist to help me through this phase. (Good advice) I know it is mind games but old patterns are hard to break. I am surrounded by people that care but don't really get because they have not gone threw this. I know in my heart if we all stick together we will get threw this. Right now the light at the end of my tunnel is a little dim. Thanks for listening.

Thanks for that info I was wondering about it. I'll stick to the whey for now.

Anyone heard or uses pea protein?

Has anyone tried Pea protein?

You are welcome how is it going?

I was told between 800 to 1200 calories per day . Did anyone else get this info.

All I have watch are the food channels. We both need to reset our way of thinking. Lol this should be easy right . Heck no!!! Once you get moving it get better. I know have energy I go walking around the malls planning my new wardrobe. Finding new interest is what I feel will free my mind from food. I no I have some demons to face with each pound I lose. One step at a time. Now I tell people when they upset me and we clear the air it has helped me not to reach for that food comfort. Keep up the post and let me know how your journey is going.

I have found a Protein drink called Isopure.40 grams of protein. It counts toward s you liquid in take. Comes in 8 flavors. I get mine at Hi Health. Try soy Protein powder 28 grams og protein in 1 oz. Mix in your Soups and puddings in has no flavor. I am 2 weeks out . [ATTACH]4612[/ATTACH]

I had both pains before the surgery. I did get hip relief from my ciropactor. Stretching helps too. Hang in the as I am always told this shall pass lol.

I would be concerned too. By the standard you have about 60 pds to go. Talk to your doctor again before the surgery. Good luck I know you will succeed in what ever you decide keep us updated. Your not alone in this.

Lisa I am one week after my surgery. Hang in there. I was told 2oz of liquids every 15 minutes. Try that will help with the thirst issue. Remember be kind to yourself.

I had my surgery one week today. I too have back pain and pain on the left side. I feel like I am in need of an adjustment from a ciropactor. Because we are losing weight so fast our bodies become out of aline. Checking to see if it is ok to go and see one let you know what I find out.
