Same here was sleeved 8-25. I now only weigh once a week. I weigh on my Wii fit so it makes it just a tiny bit more inconvenient. I have found that better because I was not losing fast enough for me either. Some people lose really fast but it may have something to do with how much people have to lose. I had lost just over 60 pounds since May31st so all my Water weight was gone already. I am doing what I am supposed to as far as Protein and walking so I am doing my part now the scale needs to do its part! I was hoping to get the 30 pound weight loss the first mint like some others, but we are all different with different pasts so I will have to take it as it comes. I try not to compare myself to others but it is very hard to do.

I had Davinci robotic surgery.

HW 292 March 25 SW 229. August 25 CW 207.4 Height 5' 9" Goal weight 155

I use Unjury and order it online.

My first thing was a scrambled egg and you would have thought I was eating a filet mignon. I can eat so far.....baked fish, baked chicken, ground beef, pork ribs if they have been cooked a long time. I am 5 weeks out but I have have to chew them to the puréed stage and I can only eat about one or one and half ounces. I have had no nausea, but I am sure to be very conscious of when I am full and stop eating. So far so good.

Sorry you are having such problems. I hope you get better soon. I had a rough start for about the first ten days. I didn't have too much nausea but rough none the less. I regretted my decision about the first 10 days. Your days will get better and I hope very soon!

I had a ten day liquid diet. Take it day by day and I agree go to bed early if you can. I was good all day but at night at suppertime I was hungry so I went to bed.

I had it. Dr told me to take Milk of Magnesia. Worked great.

I know it's weird.

So I have seen a few threads on here about hair loss. I was just wondering has everyone lost hair? I ask because I know people post when they have issues and was just wondering if everyone's experience is? I am freaked out about losing hair. I had cancer and was freaked out about having to have chemo and losing my hair. I ended up not having to have chemo thank God for that. But now I am so scared I am going to lose all my hair.

I take biotin what is MSM?

Yes the anesthia this time for me was horrid! I lost some days somewhere. Barely remember being in the hospital for three days. Vivid dreams, migraine headaches.

That is exactly why I didn't tell my husbands side of the family! Literally as soon as someone tells her something she picks up the phone to start the phone chain so she can make sure everyone knows your business. And I could just hear the comments....oh she isn't losing very fast....blah, blah, blah. I told my husband under NO circumstances is she to know. He said if you tell her to not say anything she won't. Lol. Yeah I have heard her tell me things like. Oh so and so said not to say anything but I know you won't repeat it so then she tells everything the other person did t want her to tell. Men are blind. He doesn't even know his own mother. Sorry about that it's just the mother in law thing brought out all that. I wouldn't answer the phone either. I out mine on vibrate and say I didn't hear it or I was down stairs doing laundry. Or exercising.

I had to take two weeks. There was no way I could go back in one week. One of my incisions was very sore and sometimes when I stood up it was hard to stand up straight right away. The longer I sit the worse it was. It just all depends. I told my employer I hoped to come back in a week but I got two approved just in case.

That is sooooo positive! Thank you for posting. I was freaking out!

Good luck! Hope you have a speedy recovery!

Shoot, I wish I could get someone to prepare my meals. Lol. I too would get it if you didn't eat at restaurants. I hope you can get past this, it must be frusterating to your wife, who I am sure is trying really hard. . Good luck hope all goes well.

If not does anyone know how to delete my account so I can start over?

Good luck!

Fox-e I am the same way, I eat a couple bites every couple of hours. It's a pain in the butt. Like one slice of deli ham stuffs me. A couple of spoonfuls of sf pudding or jello will help. I still drink 2 protein shakes a day to get enough protein in. But mine is real hunger. I have never had head hunger I can listen to my stomach and didn't have gas pains except for one small one in my left shoulder about 4 days post op. So you are not alone.

I don't know how much I have lost since I don't weigh myself very often, it was stressing me out. I am on soft foods, I can eat chicken, ham, ground beef with no problems. I have to take small bites and chew well and not much fits into the sleeve. I am very very careful to eat slow and recognize when I am satisfied. I am scared to death of the nausea-vomiting and thank God I have not done that yet. I still do a couple protein shakes a day to get all my protein in. I walk about 5 miles most days. I see a lot of posts that people have lost tons of weight in a short amount of time and it sometimes makes me feel a little jealous to be honest.

VSG Ann can you tell me how to pm Alex or report your post? I feel so stupid right now I just cannot figure it out.

I just love all of you that say you can popcorn! Lol. I am only 3+ weeks post op so I know I can't have it right now as I am stil on soft foods. But there are only two foods I miss from having this surgery and that is pizza and popcorn. Even before surgery I would only eat one slice of pizza and iam positive when the time comes that I can try it it will be just a couple bites and popcorn, well if I can eat it will will be very small amount but just a taste at this point would satisfy me.

Well today I have to go back to work. My job is stressful and my manager is verbally abusive, sh would just say that is the way she is but honestly it's hurtful....she told a new employee that all the employees there are "b*****s". I have been there 12 years and getting close to being able not to have to work there anymore but right now I need the money. I am not a b***h. There is so much favoritism, I work very hard, I know how to do my job and I do not need direction. I am not looking forward to going back I am sure there is going to be so many negative comments and it bothers me personally. I try to live my life as a good person, I do my best to not out down other people. I am not perfect. However, I have struggled with domestic abuse, verbal abuse along with many other issues. My employer is not sympathetic. I am sure no one did any of my work while I was gone, it will all just be expected to be caught up when I return. So I am sure my desk is full. And trying to deal with my new way of living and eating this is going to be a very challenging day/week. I am about in tears, I don't want to go. I have been tired and emotional since my surgery and I just don't know that I am ready for this. I would take more time off but I am only allowed 10 days off without pay, before I left I asked my manager, what if I am unable to come back in two weeks? Maybe due to complications or whatever my doctor says. The ONLY answer I got was I don't know the answer to that it has never happened. I said I would like to know the answer thinking she would ask the doctors I work for but no, I worried about it the entire time I was off. The first week after surgery I had a lot of complications so I wasn't sure I would even be able to go back today which has caused me a lot of stress.

Awe Sharpie thanks for those words. I wish you could go to work for me also. When the day comes for me to retire from there I will be a much happier person.
