I haven't lost any weight in 3 weeks. I'll be 7 weeks out on Tuesday. I didn't expect my "stall" to begin this early. I've only lost 18 pounds since surgery. It's really making me feel down, which leads me to old habits (and bad food choices). I'm starting over on a liquid diet tomorrow, maybe that will help me break through my stall.

I'm in Mesa! I had my surgery July 19, through the Bridges center, at St Lukes, Dr Fang was AMAZING! I'm feeling good so far Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I took this 2 weeks after my surgery ☹️ Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm 2 1/2 weeks out and it is SO HARD. I've always drank Water with my meals. The problem is it fills you up! It makes you super uncomfortable ☹️ Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am preop, waiting for insurance to approve me. I am so excited about the prospect of eating 2 bites of food and feeling full. I could never imagine feeling that way right now after 2 bites. Am I being realistic, or am I delusional Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Ugh, I over did it on eggs the other morning- I wish I would have thrown up. I was miserable all day. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Update**** I ABSOLUTELY feel full after eating just a couple of bites of food! And it's an amazing feeling. I wasn't being delusional at all Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm almost 2 weeks post op and still have a lot of pain. I spoke to my Dr and he said since it was the hole he pulled the stomach out of, I had to have my muscle stitched back together as well as subdermal stitches, so they take longer to heal. I wear a binder, that helps. And when it's starting to hurt I just apply pressure and that seems to help. For me I think it's the weight of my belly pulling down that is causing most of the pain, the rest is positional. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thank you. I hurt all day. I wasn't able to meet any daily goals ☹️ I won't do that again!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm having a really hard time distinguishing what my body is trying to tell me. I'm 5 days post op and I keep getting this sensation that I can't tell what it is. It starts in my belly and moves up to my stomach and then to my neck. It's like a sharp painful feeling that turns into that feeling where you're starving and your stomach is trying to claw its way out for some food, and ends as more of a noise, like sandpaper on the back of your neck. It usually only lasts 10 seconds or so, but I get it frequently. Is this hunger? I haven't had a day yet where I've been able to meet my Water or Protein goal. I'm on a full liquid diet. Help!

I had a sample of Bariatric Advantage Multivitamin. Just puked it up. What is your favorite multivitamin? Preferably chewable. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I only lost 5 pounds my first week. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm still successfully nursing! I'm 6 days post-op. I was really worried I wouldn't be hydrated enough for the both of us, but it's going amazingly well So for anyone wondering or worried about it, it can be done! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am on day 6, and still in pain. I've been taking lots of naps and trying to heal up before my husband goes back to work and I go back to being 24/7 mommy to my 1 & 2 year old. It will be interesting because I can't lift them at all. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I second the abdominal binder, I've been in a lot of pain ever since surgery (I'm 6 days post op). I haven't been up walking much because of the pain, but I'm gonna try today! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Rice? I'll still be on a full liquid diet at 3 weeks out! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

go for it! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I asked the doc to take a picture of my stomach all laid out when he was done, and he let my nurse do it! He said once the stomach is cut, it contracts and turns into a tube shape. So cool! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I used Barimelts for a couple of weeks, until I started vomiting them up. Now I'm using PatchMD Patches. My doc will run full labs soon to see what all my levels are, then I'll know if they're working or not. I'm a little skeptical, but I can't find anything oral that I can tolerate. My fingers are crossed ya, keep me updated! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I was sleeved on the 19, and still have a considerable amount of pain in my larger incision. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I've thrown up twice. I have a light sensitive splitting headache. I just keep sipping. It feels like my stomach keeps spasaming (sp) I hope it goes away soon. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My sleep is terrible because of the pain in my incisions. I can't get comfortable. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Everything went really well. It's hard to drink anything, even Water. Trying though! Sip sip sip. My doc told me to start my full liquid diet. He said it will last 4 weeks. I hope sipping gets easier! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
