5 months..what is your percentage of weight loss so far?
donnaNov18 posted a topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
I know I shouldn't but I compare my numbers to where others are all the time. I am 5 months out and have lost 74lbs. This month has been my slowest at losing so far. My starting weight was 388 I feel I should have lost at least 100lb by now. -
Ok I'm 12wks out when can I have regular tea--not decaf--when did you start having caffeine again?
-
Haven't ask him will next week at my visit. But I've been having tea but I'd like to know if it's bad or what the effects could be.

The prilosec I was sent home with never worked someone suggested Nexium to me and it works! I am at 11 wks post op and my Dr said at my next visit he wants me to start working my way off the heartburn meds -
I'm only about 2 months out and total weight loss is 50lbs but has anyone tried body wraps so loose skin? Does it help?
-
I don't want them for weight loss but have a friend that was sleeved a few years ago and said body wraps are good for loose skin...I was just really wanting opinions on what works or helps. My skin is very dry after surgery and I put lotion on several times a day.

When my husband ask for prayer for me before my surgery people actually would ask if I had something serious and of course I told only the ones who ask. I've been pretty open about my surgery...if ASK but I normally try to stay low key about it. What makes me happy about this post is someone knowing the power in Prayer! I was so scared in pre op that I prayed non stop! My prayers were heard and I have healed perfectly

I love my fitbit! I like being able to see what I have done and what I need to be doing. I am a numbers person so I like seeing 10,000 steps or 5 miles walked. My Fitbit motivates me to get moving

Questions: Hip Pain and Cookbooks?
donnaNov18 replied to empelky93's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I had surgery Nov 18 but I do have hip pain and wondered if it's from loosing weight and maybe loosing the cushion we used to have. Mine almost feels like more like a shifting pain when I walk for long periods of time. I have not ask my Dr but if it continues I may. -
I know this will not make me lose weight I still have to do the work but I am loving my Fitbit so far!
