I never received

I actually want to try to lift some kind of weights for my arms. I'm losing an I'm noticed today that my arms are starting to be saggy! I dnt want a lot of loose saggy skin:(

My surgery was 5/28 as well. I haven't done any major working out, but I do go to the track everyday an walk a mile. I have been doing that since my second day home from hospital. As soon as my incisions are all the way healed I will be doing light weights an boot camp. I really DONT want that flabby saggy arm skin or any where! Stats SW: 290 CW: 268

Hello ladies! Just checking in with you all to touch base on week 2 so far. So far so good... Was having issues with protein but I recently started getting the chaboni Greek yogurt an there's 12-16 grams protein in each 1. It takes me forever to eat one but it's a flavor switch up from the shakes. 5/28 was day of surgery;) SW: 290 CW: 268 NSV: Wedding ring feel completely off my finger!

Ok.. Here's the problem. I was sleeved 5/28 an was released from hospital 5/30. When I was released I was given no instructions on how to care for my incision. I'm scared to take a shower, an get that area wet, so I have be doing sponge bathes. My doctors office is closed till the morning but I REALLY want to take a shower, so please someone let me no what you did. I only have 1 incision across my belly button, but there are no stitches- only a shiny film look on top of the incision. That's why I came to the conclusion of it may be surgery glue. Thanks in advance, Krystal

Can you please email me list to? WrightJackson979@gmail.com

Friday I weighed in @ 288 lbs Today I'm weighing 273!!! 15 lbs in 6 days! Yay! NSV: Wedding ring fell of my finger! Was gnna get it resized but really there's no point, just gnna fall off again;)

Today I was doing some house work an ladies we all no how that goes, once we start we get in that zone! Lol.. So before u no it I was sweating my but off, an was dying of thirst. I want to gulp water so bad:( That lil sipp is not doing me any justice! In still thirsty. I was drinking an think I took to big of a drink an my tummy gave me bad cramp. #StillThirsty

That's great! What was your surgery weight?

I also have pcos, I have had if since I was 16. I have tried fertility an every diet under the sun. Nothing worked. So my fertility specialist recommend this surgery, an said there has been a lot of success with pcos after this surgery. My periods have always been out of whack, 3 months with out 1 then a hole month on! It's been so bad for me that I have to wear a pad every day cause i never no when it's going to start! Example: morning if will be there an by lunch it's gone. Get home in evening an it's back! Smh.,, Stats: I'm 1 week post op, was sleeved 5/28, an I'm down 17 lbs from surgery date. Started cycle 2 days ago, an it hasn't stopped it's been straight smooth sailing. I guess now I'm just wait in for the 7 days to see if it stops it not! Hopefully it does, that will at least mean I'm on my way to being regulated;)

Thanks;)

Thanks! The first 2 days home I didn't loose anything, an I thought to myself.. I'm going to probably be 1 of the slow losers, but then it just starting falling off! I weigh every morning (I no it's crazy but I can't help it!) an number keeps dropping;) I woke up today an it was dropped again to!

Hey everyone!! I was sleeved on 5/28, so today made 1 week;) So here are my stats... * Day released from hospital weighed @ 290. * Today weighing at 275. So 15 lbs down!!! Yay!

I have a ? My doctor didn't prescribe me anything for reflux. I had my sleeve done 5/28, an also had a hernia fixed at the same time. He dud tell me with the hernia being fixed I wouldn't have to worry about reflux. should I be worried?

Omg! I had that same problem today;)

Wow you look like amazing! There is a glow in ur face that makes you look like a completely different person;) Congrats on your success!

I'm supposed to be getting 60 gm if protein in a day, an the shakes I mix has 30gms in each one. That has me to do 2 shakes a day but I'm barely getting in 1, but I do. It's hard to do that an stay hydrated with the 64oz of water a day. I'm getting right at about 37-40oz of water in!

Yes the Protein shakes that im on arent nasty, it's just I'm to full to drink any more! To much to drink with 60 gms protein an 64oz Water. I actually just got this new website off 1 of these forums an checked it out. It's amazing! It's a lady that started a WLS food blog, an it has amazing recipes. I just got through looking at the protein section an she has homeade ice cream recipes just for protein. There are Breakfast lunch dinner an snack sections, you have to check it out! Click the home drop an you can read her story, but make sure to check out the links an resource section! Everything on there is categorized an has step by step instructions;) http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com/?m=1

For an example.. I was in Walmart today with my mom, an as we were walking through the store All of a sudden i got a sharp pain in my tummy. Then by the deli area (where the foid is cooked an smelling good) I got one again! I assumed I was hungry an my tummy was growling because it stopped after I sipped done water. I also had a hernia repair done the sane time as surgery

Sorry for the slow reply, but I feel ALOT better today. The first few days home I was miserable! I normally sleep on my side or stomach (you no with that 1 arm under pillow!) but that puts pressure on ur tummy, and it hurt bad!! SoI wasn't getting any good sleep, i think I got most of it in the living room recliner. Me an the husband starting hitting the track walking 1 mile a day, so that eased up on gas pains alot. Also I am having hard time getting my liquids an protein in. It's still a little sore when I swallow so I sipp real lightly. The 1 thing I hate, is the Little monster the dr replaced my tummy with! Throughout the day I get these horrible pains in my tummy, that are loud! To be honest I think it is my tummy growling, but due to me still healing it hurts. Idk, but this has been an amazing journey so far. I got out of hospital on the 31st, a weighed as soon as I got home. I thought that I would have lost weight in hospital but I didn't! I weighed the exact same as when I was admitted for surgery:( BUT today I weighed, an I've lost 10lbs just since Friday! In total shock;) When are u scheduled for surgery? What area are you in?

Wow.. How many incisions do u have? I see that people say that they are having 5-6 incisions, but I just have 1 in each side of belly button (but inside the belly button)

I also am having hard time getting protein in. In my preop diet I was drinking the gnc total lean shakes an each shake is 30 gm protein, so I should drink 2 a day.... Well I'm barely getting the 1 all the way in! Smh.. Idk what to do

Sleeved on 28th an down 10lbs since released from hospital on the 31st! I'm trying my hardest to get my fluids In but I'm having a hard time. Also through out the day I get these horrible pains in my stomach an they go up to my chest. To be honest it feels like my tummy growling (very loud) but it is the worst pain ever:( Had any one else felt this?

Have any of u tried the up24? I'm debating between the fitbit flex an up24, so any input would be great

Hace any of you thought about or considered the activity trackers? I'm strongly considering purchasing the up24 to track how much walking I'm actually getting in an it tracks your sleeping habits as well. I no that there are alot of these kind of trackers out there, but want to no if any of you have tried them an whats your take? I want to get one but due to there being so many don't no which one to get!
