Jhealan got a reaction from badi1023 in 4 days post op and new to this group....
I had mine Tuesday. The hernia was bad-- a prior surgery had come loose again and the mesh hadn't dissolved (lots of scar tissue). Hernia repair and RNY took 4.5 hours- I'm still extremely tired and not able to walk much but it gets better every day! Still taking pain meds. We should keep up with each other-- I also had mine for medical reasons (Bile Reflux). I was sleeved two years ago so I only need to lose about 35lbs to goal weight.

Jhealan reacted to James Marusek in New Surgery Protocol on the way. I wonder if it will be integrated into WLS.
Hospitals are starting to abandon the time-honored drill for surgery patients— including fasting, heavy IV fluids, powerful post-op narcotics and bed rest—amid growing evidence that the lack of nutrients, Fluid overload and drug side effects can do more harm than good.

This new protocol is being used in colorectal surgery, procedures for hip fractures and joint replacements and surgeries for bladder, pancreas, liver and breast cancer.

175-- I gained a lb-- but it's stopping there. I've been lax in exercising because of family visiting from out of town but that has to stop. Here's to a new week.

Hoping for a lb or two a week and a leaving room for a stall of a few weeks!
Good luck everyone!

Current weight 179
Goal weight 175
I have not lost weight in the last 6-8 wks--I am 5 months from surgery and starting to get concerned about this stall. Any good advice to jump start again? I've tried more Water, different exercise, eating more, eating less-- it's exhausting worrying about it! I'm not close to my goal at all. I go from 179 to 180 to 178 back to 179 over and over.
Bea, I'm so thankful for the challenges -- they are the only thing keeping me from giving up right now!

I was 179.8 this morning -- I'm in a serious stall and it is so frustrating.
Add me to the July challenge -- I need to keep my motivation up somehow!
Happy Memorial Day!

Final weight 180.
I really hope this is a stall and not the end of my loss. I am almost 4 months post surgery but have another 30 lbs to go. I don't feel like I have changed my eating or anything so I am not giving up.
Marching on!!!!
Happy Resurrection day!
