Everyone's journey is different ...if you're eating healthy and getting in some movement ...the weight will come off don't worry ! I stall every other week , and between those weeks I lose 3 to 6 lbs ... Dependent on how my body feels , I'm 45 lbs down and only 2 1/2 months out ... I eat mostly meat and some cheese ...no carbs if I can help it and my doctor thinks I'm doing great .... So don't worry yourself ! Sx date 6/2/16 weight : 246 Today 8/24/17. Weight : 201 Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I only had gas pain in my shoulder of all places but other than that you get liquid pain meds and you sleep for most of the day ...once the pain meds start to wear off you feel some pain like you were stabbed in the side but you just re-up on the pain meds and you're back to good graces !!!! This is only for 1 week then you'll feel back to normal ! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I had some pretty bad back pain after I lost my first 30lbs .... I figured it was because of my breast .... My doctor gave pain meds and muscle relaxers and the muscle relaxers helped a lot ... I'm now 45 lbs down and almost 3 months out of surgery ... And I'm not having back pain as often anymore !!!! So maybe yours will go away as well ! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Here's my stats .... Starting and highest weight was 246.6 . Prepping liquid diet started on 5/20/16 Surgery date 6/2/16 ---234.6 Today 13 days post op ---222.2 Total loss of 23 lbs which is awesome !!???????? I'm supposed to start purred foods next week but I already started I could drink another Protein shake .... I'm still eating extremely healthy and only about 400 calories a day .... My Water intake sucks but I'm working on it ! I started eating puréed food over the weekend and my stomach hasn't given me any problems so far ! I also struggle with waiting to drink 30 minutes after eating ....something I have to get used to I guess ! Anyways..... post op appt. was yesterday and my doctor was very happy with my results ! I know the weight loss is going to slow down soon so I'm excited to start really working out ! Well that's all for today ...and only positive comments welcome ...have a great week !

I've been approved for over 2 weeks , and I'm trying to get my surgery date , but I have the surgery scheduler from hell ! She acts as though scheduling my surgery is not within her job description ! Idk what to do I really wanted to have my surgery before my 25th birthday but the chances of that happening are looking pretty scarce . I've had such a great experience with everyone else in that clinic but this lady has a stick up her butt or something ....I'm thinking of going to the office manager or walking into the clinic to schedule .... U can't ignore me if I'm right in your face ...RIGHT ? I digress ! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
