I was sleeved September 2013 and diagnosed with H poli and on my 2 week post op I had to take antibiotics for about 2 weeks it was about 3 or 4 pills at a time. I go for my 6 month in April I want to know how do they know it's gone?

I was advised to eat breakfast with protein mid morning protein snack yogurt or nuts lunch afternoon protium snack and dinner. I don't know if this helps

Dec 30th will be 3 months 316 start weight @ 266 currently

The stall was like 3 weeks for me! I freaked out! No one told me about it I found out by reading this site. You have to be patient find it somewhere in you. Your body is adjusting to the surgery and weight loss does you doctor provide support groups? Or psychotherapy groups or sessions? Hang in there:)

My gym is open in the morning I'm going to complete my work out! Then have a taste of my favorites

An someone please give me a list or suggestion for whole grains! To me it seems it would be brown rice whole wheat bread wheat pasta but those are forbidden! Can anyone help?

I don't know much but it does have a lot of sugars and carbs. To break the meat and beans only I found Special K protein cereal the carbs r not the best but has 10 grams of protein and keeps me full with fat free milk and today a1/4 of a banana. For some reason on the weekends I tend to be hungrier more perhaps to much down time

Hw 316lbs Pre surgery 300lbs Cw 273lbs This journey has its ups and downs. Believe I just passed 3 week plateau. I was told no bread no rice no pasta must have 60-90 grams of protein per day! I struggle constantly I find myself hungry and obsessed with food I have stick to the restrictions are a piece of candy here or there and keep up the fluids and exercise daily. These are my demons and I am trying to deal with them but is it hard and when is it going to be easier? I was told I would be hungry like this or crave sweets which I do sometimes. Having a semi meltdown

Wow you do have a lot! I'm going to try the chicken taco sound delicious! Thanks

9/30/13 Dr. Tishler @ Hartford hospital

Any one in the Hartford county area?

In fine when were you sleeved?

Thanks! I try and remind myself that I'm healing. If you have some meals let me know. I just eat meat and potato occasional veggies. I was raised meat starch What time?and veggie! That's what got me here

I'm seven weeks out and have not lost anything in the last 3 weeks I am a little discouraged but I am hoping for the best! We have had the surgery and it's going to take time and hard work! We have to remember it is only a tool

I am a ct sleever Dr. Tishler 9/30/13! I have my ups and downs learning about myself

I have a prescription to take it twice a day for 2 months. I just figured out that I need to take it mid day and the evening when I get super hungry and can't get full! I would keep taking it

I confess I ate a 2 pack of pop tarts I confess I have slacked on exercise I confess I have been fighting eating cereal I confess I have wanted some bread but have not I confess that I am aware of a lot if my bad habits and to some it might seem small but to me they are huge I confess I am on this journey alone

Sw 300lbs surgery 9/30 today 279lbs. Pre surgery diet lost 16lbs

I think so I am 4wks post op and I had a bacterial infection in my stomach and I have to take 4 big antibiotics in the morning and 4 at night for 14 days and I only have 3 days left I have had no problem I just take one at a time. I was told the same thing also I am learning that everything they tell you at the doctors is not always true

I'm 3wks in and had similar experiences! I had to realize I am still healing and I needed to stay away from restaurants and keep those goods out of the house. People need to support you and maybe eat the pizza away from you. Family and friends want to feed you it's hard to resist! My doctor suggested that every hour take 2 bites of something to eat. Maybe a few more weeks all I'd the promises of not being hungry all the time will kick in

There are some groups one free one where for 10wks think my insurance will cover it! I think I need it

I'm glad I found this site! I have experienced a lot of what people have posted! I thought I was going crazy. I have lost 31 lbs. The hunger pains I was not expecting I'm trying to cope with them and my old habits! When I'm hungry I want to eat and I try and go for old foods that I still have a taste for but my eyes are bigger than my stomach. I do exercise now which is great I started with on demand walking basics and then walking the track 1 mile a day! I am optimistic about losing the weight and feeling better which I do already! The recovery is a little more and different than I anticipated

Thanks

You look great
