Ive seriously been sticking to the diet and excersice and ive only lost 35 lbs since aug 4 what the heck?! I havent lost any weight in like 2 weeks this is so depressing everyone i know that has gotten the surgery is double or more the weight loss that i am. Its so aggravating. I feel like im just destined to be overweight forever. ???????? i dont know what else to do. I feel like when people see me they dont notice a change. Its embarrassing for me to see people that know about my surgery cuz i feel like theyre expecting to see me smaller and im still fat. I dont know what else to do. Sorry i just had to let that out. Im going through it right now.

I seriously cant take another night of sleeping on my back. Im a tummy sleeper. I tried laying on my stomach and i didnt have any pain. On my back i cant sleep. My back and neck starts hurting veryy bad im on day 3 post op and want to know if its ok to sleep on my stomach its the only way ill be able to get some sleep. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP i havent had a goodnights sleep in 4 nights????

Im 6 weeks post op and as of yesterday im only down 23 lbs?! ???? what the heck?! Ive been doing everything im suppossed to be doing and walking. About to start going to the gym. Other peoples success stories i read theyre like 60+ lbs down by their 6 week mark. Im so frustrated with this plateau. Its so stressful i feel like i havent even lost any weight i feel the same. Like did my dr perform this surgery right?! Lol my bestfriend keeps telling me "you didnt gain all this weight overnight so dont expect to lose it all overnight!" Yea yea i know i just feel like im not where im supposed to be and i dont know what to do uugghhh ???????? sorry. just had to let that out. ????

Im 1 month post op. Does anyone know if it is ok to take a chewable melatonin pill before bed??

Woow i swear i thought i was the only one going through this roadblock smh my surgery was also 8/4/15 and ive lost only 19 lbs. im like something aint right? Did my surgeon perform the surgery correctly? Lol its soo aggravating when i see other people a month in and theyve lost almost 40-60 lbs what the heck. I thought for sure i would have been one of those people. Worse part is i feel exactly the same ughh. 1 more week until i can get in the gym im soo ready for this weight to just start melting off. When will this "plateu" go away?? Ugh

So i stopped taking the docusate my dr prescribed for constipation because it was burning my throat. Like literally. The first couple times i took it i thought it was just the way it tasted. But i stopped like 2 days ago and my throat is still hurting/sore from taking it. I also have not had a bowel movement in 2 days!!!???? is there anything over the counter i can take to help me with this? Help! Thanks anybody!!

What can i put in my cream of wheat to sweeten it? Its so nasty plain?

Im more than 2 weeks post op and ive only lost 11 lbs. ive been walking everyday and following the diet plan. Just started the puree phase and it just doesnt seem right. Other people ive seen like double the weight loss in the same amount of time. Am i doing something wrong? I also have been drinking miralax and have not had a bowel movement in almost a week ugh its so frustrating and uncomfortable. A week post op i was down 13 lbs from pre op then i gained 2 lbs how is that possible? Im so annoyed????

I guess my scale is broken. Went today for my 2 week post op check up and ive lost 19 lbs. that made me feel alot better. Thats 12%!! I still feel the same and dont see any difference. Its motivation to stick to it though. Thanks everyone for your comments????????

Im 2 weeks post op. What would happen if i took a shot?

Im only down 7 lbs in my first week post op. Is that average? Whats everyone else's 1 week post op weight losses?? I feel like it should have been more? Am i wrong? I feel like i should be doing more to lose weight other rhan following the diet. But no exercise until 6 weeks right?! Ugh feedback pleeasssee

Ok i know this post is going to sound silly to some people. But its serious for me. Sooo im 1 week post op and havent told my boyfriend (or anybody really) about my surgery besides my mom, dad, sister and manager. Ive been trting to avoid my boyfriend cuz i dont want him to ask for sex. Dr says 6 weeks ???? i havent even seen him in a week and hes starting to become suspicious. I lied and told him i came down with the stomach flu and have only been in the bed sick and throwing up. This week im going to tell him i have to go out of town for a week. The week after that im going to say i have my period. Im out of excuses after that. Lol. Anybody welcome to leave some suggestions/lies for me to tell him lol and telling him the truth about my surgery is NOT an option! Lol any help is greatly appreciated lol

Its not that i cant trust him. I just dont want anyone to know. And yes our relationship is fairly new. Weve only been together 4 months. Thanks everyone for your opinions though.

Ive been having bad bad cravings all day long and it doesnt help my grandmas cooking something that smells like heaven!! ???????? im not even leaving my room to see what shes cooking. i dont know im going to go another 3 weeks

Thanks everyone!????????????????????

Someone please tell me this horrible pain wont last more than 3 days omg this is terrible ive never been so tired in my life and this gas pain is ridiculous. Im going to keep this post short. Im trying to knock out. someone please give me some positive light on this new journey of mine.

So tomorrow i go in for my gastric bypass. I cant believe how fast the day came. It feels like just yesterday my primary doctor was referring me to the surgery and now here i am!! I am so excited to start this new journey, but im not going to lie im also very terrified. Its my first surgery ever and im not knowing what to expect. Any words of advice? Im interested in hearing other people's stories, advice,recommendations?!

Wow it came so fast. On my way to the hospital for my gastric bypass. Any last words/ recommendations for me? Im soo nervous???? wish me luck!

yes ive heard walk walk walk! Lol thank you! ????

good luck today!! ????

I had the same problem and talked to my dr. He told me i was allowed to eat ONLY vegetables. And if i ate a salad it had to be light fatfree dressing. Good luck.

So this is my first post! My surgery date for gastric bypass is aug 4 and i am extremely nervous. I have been doing the high protein liquid diet for 5 days and its so hard but gets easier by the day. "Take it a day at a time" like they say, right?! I cheated yesterday, and im not quite sure how bad that is. Should i tell my dr? Any suggestions on how to get through this diet for another 8 days? Im so excited for this life changing experience but im also scared as hell. I just keep thinking of everything that could possibly go wrong will with me and my luck!????
