It's a Labor of Love: Labor Day Weight Loss Challenge

Where is spreadsheet? 217.1 Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
I had my surgery on 7 21 16 also. I am down only around 33 pounds. I feel like this is pretty good. I lost 20 pounds Bam and then over the last month I have only lost 12. I know it is aggravating not to be able to eat and drink what you are usually accustom to. It is also very aggravating to be so constipated. But… I feel like the end will justify the means. We have to hold on. Unfortunately, we will be able to eat too much again and this is where the hard part will really start. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

How long before you could go back to work? (desk job/non physical)
carlaw replied to ella37's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Day 11. I think that it should be 4 weeks from my experiences after going back in 11 days. The pain completely subsided at 4 weeks. I was also able to tolerate Vitamins better at 4 weeks. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App -

July 21, 2016. Doing well. Think I went back to work too soon. Had to start wearing a binder due to the pain in the biggest incision. It hurts like hades to drive without the binder. I get an empty hungry feeling but it doesn't take much to fill me up. Down at least 18 to 20 pounds. In the soft mushy stage of foods. I'm fixing to add vegetables as I am so friggin constipated! Ordered me some liquid fiber and stool softener today. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App -

7/26/16 VSG Surgery, Anyone else?
carlaw replied to blueeyedgirlvsg's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
7/21/16 surgery! Down about 10 pounds. I am on full liquids till 8/5/16. I worry because I can get hold 4 oz of tomato soup in about 20min. I have been getting in at least 80 gm Protein with yogurt, shakes and skim milk. I have been eating around 6 to 800 cal a day but recently drop this back to around 4 to 600 cal a day. I worry that I have been eating too much. I was only following the diet plan they gave me. Which was Protein shake 6 o'clock. Yogurt 9 o'clock. Yogurt or strain soup at noon, 3 PM protein shake, 6 PM strain soup or yogurt, 9 PM protein shake. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App -
Menopause & GS. Did you go off HRT or will you? How are you coping?
carlaw replied to TxSilverAngel's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Stopped my patch few days before surgery and resumed it about seven days after. Nobody told me how to do it so you best discuss with your healthcare provider. Hormones can lead to blood clots if you're not Active enough or dehydrated Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App -
