Yes!!!!! Omg I am having the same problem. I think we have to go back to mushy food for another week.....what the hell else can we do????

Omg. Im down 28 pounds and still in same size pants. Tops a bit loose but what the hell? It's weird and frustrating. Maybe I need a new scale. People say my face is smaller.....did I really have 28 pounds on my face? ☺☺☺☺☺

@@Mrswrath you can add some fruit to your smoothie. You should be getting in at least 800 cals if you are working out that much. Or even a few bites of well cooked veggies at supper. You are working out a lot....you need to add food. I cant get my fluids in. Ended up in emerg last week from dehydration.

I wish I could eat toast. Waaaaa. 3.5.weeks post op

Hi I have 2 friends that had the lap band and now are getting the sleeve......and Ive heard amazing things about Dr. Ortiz

@Postop OOOOOO MYYYYYY GAWD!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks so much for the pictures!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was and am sooo worried about gaining it all back and im only 3 weeks out. See we all need help on this journey, I cant believe what a food aholic I am/was/were/ and I too have wtf did I do...but when I go on the scale....when I walk my stairs without gasping for air.......when I start shopping out of the PLUS stores....yaeeeeeeee us all!

So sorry you are dealing with this, my heart goes out to you, I understand your fears, but from one extreme to another is crazzzyyyyyy! I a glad you have a therapist and I do agree with Babbs, the word HEALTH is the biggest part of this frickin journey, not just the :fat and skinny: I too am on this journey, new only 3 weeks out and holy moly I did not realize what a food aholic I am!!! and how my mind and body ended up the way it did.....big and heavy and sad. Are you taking Extra Vitamins? IV's from a healthcare professionals (holistic) offer Vitamin Iv's.....just a thought.. Sending you warm thoughts,

25th here. I think just concentrating on healing the pouch...fluids. ..70 grams protein. ..walking tons is my new intention. The weight will come off guys. ..I made a few little bad bites cause I am so Fricking hungry since 5 days post op and literally fell on floor puking. It takes 3 months to heal the staples from surgery..6 month's for some. Its hard to get 70 grams of protein in.....hate soup now. Lol

Hi Had my surgery August 25. Cannot get my fluids down, started puree things but not much. I have sharp pains in my sternum ad the worst heart and throat burn, Its like something is stuck down my throat. Have tried tons of ant acids, becoming very weak. Had sureg ery in Tijuana, and emailed Doctor. She says I need IV, my family doctor has no freaking idea and it will be months to see a bariatric doctor. I cannot get liquids in....or Protein in, getting worried.

@shellyd88@Awjones28 thanks. I got tums and peptide complete. Way better. I think I am dehydrated as well. Cant get fluids in. And yes to laying down after eating. Bad habit from bad eating days. Lol. All of you are so wonderful. Thanks for tips. ♡♡♡

amazing

whats up with this heart/throat burn? Any one experience this? And I cannot get my fluids in every day....

What a roller coaster this is with the friggin liquids. I cannot get them down. I was starving since day after surgery. Getting most of the Protein in. I ate a piece of cheese and a cracker last night and it threw me on the floor with terrible pain and I couldn't breathe!!!!!!!!

@@Anniel2015 I did have Dr. Valenzuala. Although I only talked to her for a few minutes, she seemed nice, but more important I seem to be doing good. My experience with the Mi hospital and the Mexico Bariatric Centre was terrible. First, just watched my pajama pants 3 times as the black on the bottom from the filthy floor. I found the driver to the coordinator heret was sketchy. I have travelled enough to know that Tijuana is shady to begin with but they take you to a few stores in a shopping location and only let you buy from their "friends"...we went on our own but it is a good way to walk. Hyatt was ok, no one spoke English, rooms were nice, popsicles were just ice Water on a coffee stir stick. My nursing care was bad. But yet I hear rave reviews and that confuses me. Its not a hospital, its a very very small clinic with construction going on and really no hall ways to walk through post op. I was inventive and just went from one floor to the next...not what the brochure says. They gave me morphine, which I cant handle and I told the "nurse"t understand me and gave it to me any way. MY IV wasn't working most of the time, so keep an eye on it. I had blood all over my bed and they never changed it from them attempting to get the IV in my left hand. I demanded the them to try the right hand as my left one was size of football. Now this is just my opinion, a few ladies at the same time had minor issues but were satisfied with the MI hospital. There is another doctor who spoke English and he was good, he checked up a lot and if it wasn't for him I probably would be more upset. We left a day early to get the F out of Tijuana ( hate it) but 8 days out I have to think of the operation itself......and it was good.

I'm from Calgary. One week out. Had terrible experience in Tijuana!!!!!! I'm doing OK but still dealing with the nightmare.

Monday august 25th. Had a n awful experience in Tijuana and glad to be the F home!!! Feeling better. Cannot get my liquids in and hate broth,,,lol. Thanks God I get Protein shakes and cream of wheat. Still feels like a dream. Ive lost 5 pounds....what? I feel like I should be down 20...

It will get better. Keep moving, get b12 loenges and try to get your Vitamins in. Ill pray for you but it will get better Hugs

Perfect. I will look into it right now. Thanks, Leanne

I wouldn't lift anything over 12 pounds, wait 6 weeks

Hi I too need exactly the same!! I am one week in. My name is Leanne, I will check out the Beck System, however for the next few weeks I need to stay on Post op. I am a motivator, honest ( if you really want it) but want everyone to succeed and I need the same.
