I'm close to 4 months out, I've only had one instance when I ate peanut butter and got severe chest pains, hot flashes, nausea and vomiting. It passed after about an hour or so.

2 nights for me. Had my surgery first thing Monday morning and was discharged Wednesday. Dr said I could stay an extra night if I wanted but I just wanted to go home and get the iv out. My hospital roommate had surgery Monday evening and she had to stay an extra night because she wasn't being very mobile

For me I get full after eating a few ounces. I feel satisfied, my stomach feels like I can't eat another bite. But I don't get that full bloated feeling like you can't move and feel like you need to unbutton pants.

I followed it for the most part but I did cheat 2 days before surgery and had a slice of pizza.

Pb2 is a powdered peanut butter protein. Good source of protein without all the fat. I found it at walmart where the peanut butter is

Same thing happened to me. Peanut butter has been the only thing my stomach can't tolerate.

No they dont a big pet peeve of mine! I usually end up with a cardigan. I have the short ones or longer ones and I'll wrap a thick belt around my sweater so I have some kind of shape.

Before surgery my dr said he sees those complaints often from weight loss patients. We're used to the padding, not having it takes some getting used to

30lbs in 5 weeks is great! You'll get there run your diet by your nutritionist just to make sure you're on track. The 3 week stall is very normal. My 3rd week stall lasted 2 weeks and then the scale started moving again. As long as your following your dr's plan you'll lose the weight. It may not be as fast as we want but it will happen. Good luck, try not to stress and get angry because that may trigger some emotional eating habits.

It doesn't irritate me, I just feel bad for them. I think the maintenance stage will be difficult when the restriction is less and you haven't changed your eating habits. I wish everyone success but there's a reason statistics show a lot of people experience weight gain after maintenance.

I had a stall from week 3 to 5 I upped my calories goal to 800, still couldn't get that much in, I'm averaging 700-750, but my scale did start moving again right before I hit 6 weeks. I think the stalls are a normal part of the process. Follow your dr's orders, get your water and protein in and you'll be fine.

We waited a week but I was still sore so it wasn't that enjoyable, I was nervous that he was going to hurt my stomach. You know how you're feeling follow your instinct.

This is the worst of it, it only gets better from here. Just keep trying and gradually you'll get more and more in. By day 3 I couldn't even get a full water bottle in a day.

I wonder if hair loss has to do with the amount of weight you're losing. Is it the more you lose the more hair loss?

I met a woman at a support group who had surgery (she had a bypass) at 65, she is now in her 70's she had lost over a hundred pounds she looked great and was living life to the fullest, she looked really young and happy, I couldn't believe she was in her 70's. You're never too old to get healthy. Good luck!
