I hope it's nothing serious. I didn't know until maybe last year that endometriosis can involve more than just your uterus and things in that area. Im sorry you are dealing with this. I know how hard it is to have ongoing diarrhea. Hopefully you can find a solution soon. Sent from my SM-G925T using the BariatricPal App

Have you always eaten the kimchi? Is that something you started doing a little before this started? I ask because cabbage can have a laxative effect. Maybe try leaving it out for a while and seeing if that helps? But im no doctor so definitely check with your primary, your surgeon, or a gastro doctor.

Im only 3 months out but im going to be honest i haven't made all the best choices. I Slip up a lot lately and eat unhealthy food with no nutritional value and end up feeling really guilty. That being said i already notice a BIG difference in hunger levels when i veer off my "plan". If im eating chips and Cookies and carbs i don't get full. Or at least it doesn't stay for more than 5 minutes before i can stuff my face again. That is scary. But im glad i know that NOW. Rather than finding out several months or a year from now. Maybe reevaluate how you're eating and try to cut the carbs that you don't need and stick to more Protein? I know im still a newbie but i notice a few oz of protein leaves me satisfied for hours. But if i add any starchy elements to my meal i am hungry again almost immediately. Do a test. Have a day or 2 where you go back to basics and eat protein dense meals. Then try a day of your current diet and record your hunger levels both times. If you're hungrier after the more carby diet than you might have an answer. Sorry this was so long. Hope i could help.

Im 3 months post op. Those 2 weeks KILLED. Try to power through. I was able to have a small Protein meal once a day. I would have some baked or seared or grilled chicken at night when my hunger was its worst and i felt sick and weak. If that's not an option try to fill up as best you can on shakes Jello and soup. Any time i felt hungry id drink something really fast and it would buy me some time til the hunger came back. Not going to lie. I cheated a bit. But i made sure i didn't eat anything at least 3 days prior to the surgery. My surgeon said it was ok so long as i didn't eat 24 hrs before but i just wanted to better prepare myself.

Wish i could go shopping in my closet. I've been a size 20 since before i graduated high-school. Granted a 20 now is bigger than a 20 from 10+ years ago. I am lucky it's winter. All i want to wear are leggings and sweats. Im too cold to care about much else lol. I am dying to by some jeans though. But im waiting until I'm a good ways out of the 2s if i can help it. Just going to rock with the clothes i have till they can't fit anymore then buy cheap basics until i get to goal. Saving money for a cute new wardrobe.

Wooooow you are one talented Fella! I'm sure Mrs little Bill is quite the proud wife. Keep up the great work. You motivate me to work harder!???? Sent from my SM-G925T using the BariatricPal App

I'm always cold. And it was a running joke on my old job about my year round sweating lol. Im in my heated room in a long sleeve pajama set with long pants and in one of my boyfriend's hoodies i stole. Im still cold. But it comes in levels through the day. I have an ac and even being wrapped in plastic the cold air is just blowing through. Gonna take my heating blanket down out the closet. I need all the help i can get.

Omg my collar bones are coming out of hiding and just the other day i was rubbing the back of my neck and felt these lumps. I got so scared then i kept feeling it and realized it was the vertebrae of my spine lol. Im not even out of the 2s yet. Freaking blowing my mind. Sent from my SM-G925T using the BariatricPal App

Congrats! I know that feels amazing Sent from my SM-G925T using the BariatricPal App

I think this is what's happening to me. I try not to weigh myself the week before during and not until a couple of days after my period because i know I'll just be upset. And when i get on the scale after my period ive gone down like 5 or more pounds. I usually will lose steadily it seems until right before my period. Sent from my SM-G925T using the BariatricPal App

I think id be interested. I'm like 4lbs from onederland and i really need motivation. Sent from my SM-G925T using the BariatricPal App

That's awesome. Can't wait til that's me. I might be going away this summer so fingers crossed it goes well. Sent from my SM-G925T using the BariatricPal App

I'm 3 months out and dropping maybe 2 to 3lbs a week and maybe a bit more. Im not working out just yet, things are really crazy right now. Just kind of coming around to an eating schedule of sorts. Sent from my SM-G925T using the BariatricPal App

I smoke. 3 months out and honestly i smoke every day. If i know im going to i prepare my Water and my snack if it's that time. If not just water. It helps me get my water in and helps me get my Protein. I don't eat junk. Not without much thought first anyway. My munchies are minimal but usually fine after drinking a bunch of water and a bit of protein. Sent from my SM-G925T using the BariatricPal App

Nuts and seeds were off for me at that point. Definitely check before eating. Im glad i did after hearing the seeds could get caught along your staple line and cause a leak. Or something i think along those lines. Just be careful Sent from my SM-G925T using the BariatricPal App

Its funny that you say that. I've had tiny bits of rice here and there because it was habitual and i kept thinking of things in "diet" terms. But now that the fog of the holidays is lifted i am feeling much the same as you. Yesterday I had a tbsp of homemade Jamaican rice and peas and some type of stewed meat (i'm gonna say chicken) on my plate. I hadn't really had much carbs for the day. Maybe 20 of my 25? I had the rice in my plate but was picking the peas out to eat. I think i ate a tsp or more of the rice. I really didn't want to waste space in something that was going to take up space but wouldn't satiate as long as the protein. I think im slowly rewiring my brain ????

Ah!! Awesome! Lol. Im a weirdo. Oh and i just found out i lost another 5 lbs! Woot! Sent from my SM-G925T using the BariatricPal App

Just an update. I just bought a new scale and weighed myself. I am down to 205.4! HOLY CRAP!! I'm 5 lbs away from onederland!! I knew this would happen but i couldn't see it. I checked mfp and the last weight i logged was Xmas eve. 5lbs in 12 days! I'm stoked and so motivated now. I thought i stalled! I can go to bed happy now. Night all!

I am 10/5. How are you doing? Sent from my XT1021 using the BariatricPal App I'm doing great! I actuality had a pretty smooth recovery. Haven't started working out yet. I know once i do I'll start losing more weight. Have you started exercising yet? I suffer from chronic pain. And chronic laziness lol. Sent from my SM-G925T using the BariatricPal App Not yet. I was released for exercise at 8 weeks. I have been waiting my company to set up a corporate rate at the local gym but that doesn't seem to be happening. I am going to set up my own plan. The gym has several Water Zumba classes in the evenings so I am going to try those. I got swim capris so people can be spared my glaring white fat and I am spared the chub rub. Sent from my XT1021 using the BariatricPal App I live down the street from a YMCA. Thinking about joining. They have classes and pools. I might be able to get a discount so I'm definitely considering joining. Sent from my SM-G925T using the BariatricPal App

You've lost 38lbs in 3 months, that's fantastic - over 3lbs/week. Give yourself credit! Thanks! Wow i didn't think of it that way. I always have this little voice saying it's not enough and im trying to get rid of that negative inner talk. Sent from my SM-G925T using the BariatricPal App

Thanks for the heads up. I'll be more diligent in taking them Sent from my SM-G925T using the BariatricPal App

I was scared of this. My sister is willing to pay for me to have some plastics after the weight loss but she's talking about less than a year down the line. Even if i doubt seriously it'll happen, i don't think she understands how much if a waste it is. She wants me to do it before i lose too much fat but if im still losing its pointless. I'd much rather be at a stable weight before plastics. Sent from my SM-G925T using the BariatricPal App
