Since surgery I've only lost 1 pound a week and I'm 106 days out (a little over 3 months). I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I'm losing hope and faith and I've been finding it hard to stay with the diet because of my little loss. I've lost about 50 and I'm happy about that is just that a majority of it was the first 2 weeks and very little after that Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

I'm about 7 months out and 81 pounds down. It has been the hardest journey I've ever been on getting here. Whoever thinks that this is the easy way out is crazy. I don't know what to do at this point. I just want to at least lose 3 pounds to get the 100s before my husband gets home from his deployment. We haven't seen each other for months. I don't have time to go to the gym since I'm a single mother of 2 children with a full time job and going to school full time at night online. I'm so stressed I find myself eating. But I'm still staying within my calories. I never go on the 900. Why aren't I losing weight? I've been at a stand still for 3 weeks! Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

What are you do when the people around you are constantly either drinking or eating something that is easily tempting for someone in our position. My friends say that they're being very supportive of me but they still end up going out and drinking a lot of alcohol in front of me or eating sugary things or even to the point where they'll tell me that they warned me that this was a bad idea. Whenever I go to one outing with them its always there eating very bad fried food and there drinking lots of alcohol and I'm drinking Water and food that's good for me. Has anyone had issues adjusting to their friends lifestyles around them. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

You all are right. I guess I just feel like they don't understand. Whenever I'm having a down day and is really hard for me, they remind me that they said not to do this Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

Hello, Has anyone gotten bad hemroids. I'm 1 month out and having a really hard time going to the restroom. If I go, it's every 3 to 4 days. Sometimes it's only 1 a week.

Hello, How many calories should I be eating 1 month out? I've been trying to stay under 700 to 800. Should I be trying for less? Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

I'm almost 4 weeks post op and I'm spotting very dark brownish blood a week after my menstrual cycle finished. Has anyone had this problem? Is this normal or should I seek out a dr? Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

Did anyone have days that they couldn't stay away from food? Today was the first time I've ever cheated and I feel horrible but I'm so hungry today. I don't know what's wrong with me.

I had pain a couple of days out in my lower arms, almost like growing pains. It really hurt and I went to the er and they couldn't figure out what was wrong with me. My skin was also hot to the touch and they thought at first I had a blood clot but it ended up going away in 2 days on its own Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

My Dr gave me the same diet but I spoke to a fellow sleever and she told me that her nutritionist Todd her to start solids as soon as possible but to take it slowly. Chewing slowly and making sure to take your time doing it too. I've been tracking my calories and making sure to never go over the 500 calories and I never go over the 4 ounces even if I don't feel full Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App Btw I have hypothyroidism as well and it's very hard for me to stick to the diet but I'm doing it Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

I'm 3 weeks out and I can drink like normal. I could gulp big gulps if I wanted to. I haven't pushed myself but I also never feel full but I never go over the 4 ounces. Did anyone else have this problem? Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

I've been doing the pureed for about a week and I haven't lost any weight except .2 pounds. Is this normal? I haven't been eating more than 500 calories in one day. What do I do? Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

I haven't tried to really easy any real solids yet. But I am able to drink like normal. When I easy my 4 ounces I never feel full. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

I'm 3 weeks post op and I've only lost about 17 pounds. Most of that was the first week. This week I've only lost like 2 pounds. I've been losing my mind and when I've spoken to people on here they keep telling me it's normal. I lost 72 pounds 3 years ago on weight watchers but I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism right after my second child and I gained all the weight and then some. It's taking so my strength to keep to the diet cause I never feel full with the 4 ounces and I'm having cravings Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

Stay as strong as you can. I'm only 3 weeks out and in starving all the time. There's nights I cry myself to sleep thinking I can't do this but I get up the next day and do it. We're all here for you Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App
