Going to my doc tomorrow morn for a proper weigh in...expired my first challenge lol

Lol at Kandis...i actually had to get an iv because i forget to drink and everything tastes like dirt lol

We eat out all the time..I'm now 6 weeks almost 7..I've adjusted..went to golden corral after church..i had a dab of mashed potatoes and a piece of fish..so glad i have that card that lets me have kids meals lol..funny thing is if i could have anything my sleeve wouldn't let me have much of it lol..,i missed soda the most

I have a feeling i need to get some myself..i hate that tight feeling that i get from girdles but i noticed when i wrote my surgery band the fat was holding together and moving up...need too wear something

I am on blood thinner and hate the lovenox..over the last three years i have had two weeks worth 4 times..each was twice a day...i hate them...i give them to myself...I'm glad yours weren't so bad...and you're right never rub them!!

I was so excited to get this done...i don't know what i was thinking !! My body has always kept a death grip on every pound of my weight...nothing had ever worked i don't know why I'm surprised this surgery isn't any different... sleeved 9/23/14 starting weight was 355 pre op..i am now 317.. this includes the 2week pre op diet...the last two weeks was only a 2 lb loss...everyone around me has lost double what i have..the main blessing is i can't stop because of the surgery...i can't drink my water or shakes i live on fish and beans for protein..have had 2 iv sessions because of dehydration...now i have a bladder infection..good gosh at least let the weight come off !!!

I don't think many of us didn't do the same thing...i can tell you it is hard post op...i feel isolated because i cannot eat what my family eats..large family gatherings find me stuffed after 2forks full so i sit and watch everyone else...are mostly doing this because food is our life raft..i would look deep into yourself and ask if you are willing to change for the new you...i know for me the hard struggle is what i have too do...i wish you well..

Same here! My daughter is graduating in May so I'm hoping I've lost a good bit by then. Surgery was a last resort for me and not losing even after vomiting nearly every day just kinda makes me feel hopeless. I sure hope things turn around for us soon! I did the same thing..the vomiting..when i went to weigh after two weeks i thought at least I'll get under 300..after watching everyone else's success i thought id so the same...nope only 2 lbs...i decided not to weigh any more..I'll weigh once a month at my monthly doc appt...i know after i get under 300 I'll feel like I've done something...

Me too krydmo..,the thing is we are a foodie family so i gave up so much for this...my daughters wedding is in May i hope i have lost a lot by then

Thanks for the replies. ..i know this is forever after all i changed my body..four now it's one day at a time and i decided to rid myself of my scale..from now on its weighing only at the doc appt

Just think about your new life !

My first participation will weigh in Nov 7th!!

My doc says no noodles until 6months..it's so funny how docs are so different...i can't have pork or beef until 6 month either..fish and eggs until 2 months then i can add chicken ! Cone on chicken lol..i do the throwing up when i go past the full stage..

Codys Mom...I'm have the exact same issues!! I see its not just me..can't drink anything...had to have 2 bags of iv a week ago..hope we get better

I felt the same way and now that I'm 6weeks post op I'm still in that"what in the hell did i do to myself"stage...i can't drink anything so I'm dehydrated...allergic to the shakes..it all sucks

I am week 6and they don't allow us to exercise..and only soft foods. .maybe you're pressing too hard..
