Monday I will be 7 weeks out. I started at 26lbs on 2/29 (surgery date). I have been at a stall since my last doc appt on 3/24....only losing like 3 lbs since. I have called my doc and they said we will talk at my next appt on 4/28. I am REALLY getting frustrated as we all know what we have sacrificed for this surgery. I am eating clean, working out 30 mins as directed by the doc and drinking Water. I don't know what I am doing wrong?? Any help would be great!! Please.....VERY upset!!

Just don't pay mind to people you know what you need from your body! I was 260 and people were shocked but I'm on my way anyway! Sent from my SCH-I545 using the BariatricPal App

2/29 here and lost about 32lbs. Haven't weighed myself as I have been frustrated with balancing eating, exercising, and getting rid of the food! Sent from my SCH-I545 using the BariatricPal App

There shouldn't be side effects to fiber meds. In and out. Stuff miralax does not stay in your system in and out. I feel your pain as I can relate! Even taking stuff still having problems. Sent from my SCH-I545 using the BariatricPal App

I am 6 weeks out as well. My weightloss has stalled....at 32lbs. I am getting frustrated. Working out and eating everything advised. I feel I'm more hungry as well but I am in my calorie and Protein ranges. Feel like I'm doing something wrong?? I did return to work and dropped a pant size......I know I'm losing inches but I want to see POUNDS!! Sent from my SCH-I545 using the BariatricPal App

I can't lay on my sides yet it hurts my belly too badly Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Did they give you a binder.....wrap thing around your midsection??? And does your doc know it hurts that bad?? Sent from my SCH-I545 using the BariatricPal App

Oh and they gave me pain meds on schedule but I took one pain pill before bed my first night home thinking it would hurt but didn't take anything after that! I hate a cyst removed from my hand at the same time while under and my hand hurt WAY MORE then my belly! Sent from my SCH-I545 using the BariatricPal App

First few days are the roughest. Gas was the worst.....walk walk walk. Even at home try to walk around the house outside inside whatever walk! Also I had horrible gas pain in my left shoulder one night. Was told from experienced couple of sleevers to lay on left shoulder no matter which shoulder it's in....it works! The firsts are scary, light vomitting. I the hospital I felt it coming like 3am.....I was out of surgery at 18 hrs before.....thought I was good. Mouth watering.....I was pushing the nurse like crazy thinking dear God this is gonna hurt! Really I was fine! After that for maybe 3 days I threw up about every 6 to 8 hrs. But day 4 NOTHING like it never happened. Be patient and it takes time. I was sleeved 2/29 and everyday I learn.....you will too. Follow doctors rules because everyone is different! You got this!

Needed this post today. Feel like we'll know I stalled from the scale. I try not to weigh but get a little obsessed with it. So.....I'm glad I seen this today. I actually went back to liquids today to make me feel better! Feeling frustrated! Sent from my SCH-I545 using the BariatricPal App

While we are on the topic of Pasta.....how about chick pea pasta? ? Sent from my SCH-I545 using the BariatricPal App

Suppository.....works in 20 minutes. I know not many people enjoy doing it but sometimes you have to do what you have to do! Sent from my SCH-I545 using the BariatricPal App

Smooth move does work. I am a week out of surgery....My doc told me I should have moved my bowels. I know it's not the easiest but I got a suppository it worked in a matter of 20 mins. Sent from my SCH-I545 using the BariatricPal App

I didn't euther. Had my 1 week followup (surgery was 2/29) and doc said I should moved something. Told me to get suppository......ugh it worked. Sent from my SCH-I545 using the BariatricPal App
