Thank you. I feel great. But I lost 30 lbs prior to surgery, so I've only lost 61 lbs since surgery. But I feel pretty good. Sent from my SM-N900V using the BariatricPal App

Thank you so much for the encouragement because I too have lost focus just 4 1/2 months out. Don't want to slip into old habits again. Sent from my SM-N900V using the BariatricPal App

Make sure you are not using a straw to sip your drinks. Thus could very well be causing the gas build up if you are. Sent from my SM-N900V using the BariatricPal App

I too experienced the numbing sensation in my stomach as well as my shins and legs. My dr checked my labs and I my b1 was low as well. I have been taking b 12 complex Vitamins with 100mcg of thiamine in it. I go back to the drs next month for a follow up. And i stay cold all the time. I used to sleep with a fan on 24/7 365, now I hate the fan and I freeze where ever i go. I don't care how cold it is. Sent from my SM-N900V using the BariatricPal App

I was out originally 7 weeks and then went back to work for a week and a half only to be out again for 2 more weeks. I had a rough few months. I was fatigued and dehydrated as well as náuseas all the time. Sent from my SM-N900V using the BariatricPal App

I am 4 1/2 months out from gbp and I've only lost 59lbs. I hit plateaus of 3 to 4 weeks at a time and it's very frustrating. What should I be doing different? Any suggestions would be great. Sent from my SM-N900V using the BariatricPal App

Good afternoon. I am 8 weeks post op and I am not eating or drinking the recommended protein. I have absolutely no appetite and my surgeon said sometimes it's normal and takes some a little longer to get their appetite. I have no energy so it's hard for me to work. Is their anyone in here that have gone through the same thing and have any suggestions on what to do. Thanks in advance.

This could very well explain why I hurt so bad after surgery and why my recovery process has been longer than others. I had RNY on Nov. 17 along with gall bladder removal, hiatal hernia repair, egd and liver biopsy done. I still don't feel at 100% and I am on my 2nd time being out of work. I too had trouble getting in exercise and still don't be a use I have no energy and am fatigued all the time. I'm just waiting on feeling better so that I can get back to exercise. Good luck.

I am 9 weeks out and I'm still not hungry. I have been forcing myself to drink 2 protein shakes a day and other drinks in between.

Are you eating sugars. I've heard people say that they had to cut all sugars out of their diet and exercise.

I'm drinking at least 2 protein shakes a day. That's giving me 60 grams of protein a day and just drinking different fluids in between. I feel alot better.

No I dont. I hardly eat anything. I'm hearing people say get this in and make sure you are drinking that but it's so easier said then done. I'm def gonna try though.

I had surgery Nov 17. I had a difficult time with pain management. Buy I am having some issues with getting fluid down and eating. Everything hurts to go down. Has anybody had or are having this problem. I'm not meeting any of my goals and I'm not loosing any weight and I k ow it's because I'm not meeting the protein goal everyday. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I have never been a fan of Gatorade but I finally bought some last night. Best decision I made. It tasted well and it went down easy. So I think I found me something to drink. Thanks for all the advice.

Like i said before. It hurts or maybe the word is uncomfortable to swallow. But I will be scheduling an appt with the surgeon this week. I also had an appt with the surgical dietician and she said to worry about getting fluids and not so much to worry about protein right now. I'm getting vitamins in as well.
