I experienced what you are describing. I had to sleep on my sofa for 3 nights because I couldn't get in and out of my bed. But by day 4 it was better. Keep walking, it helps. I also found that binding my stomach gave some relief as well. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using the BariatricPal App

I haven't worked out since July. Had foot surgery and went in to a dark place of binge eating and gained 30 lbs. I start crossfit back tomorrow. I am both nervous and excited. Nervous that I know I will be physically drained while my body adjusts. Excited that I can tone up and increase my weight loss amongst many other benefits. Any others out there that can add words of wisdom? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using the BariatricPal App

Day of...round face, 2 weeks post op with bloating, and 6 weeks. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using the BariatricPal App

Didn't tell my mom either for similar reasons. Just say I'm dieting get and not very hungry. Good luck. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using the BariatricPal App

Don't get discouraged. I only lost 5 after surgery and went on a 3 week stall. But I kept walkiing and eating right and now I"m at 20lbs at 5 weeks post op and the loss is going fairly quickly. I lost 10 lbs before surgery, so 30lbs total and I'm thrilled because now I am losing 3-5 a week. Hang in there. I actually quit weighing for a while and just went by my clothes getting baggier and feeling thinner. The scale can mess with your head during a stall.

Carbonate or citrate? I forget. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using the BariatricPal App

Hi there. I'm in Houston. 12/5/2016. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using the BariatricPal App

4 weeks post op and I've lost 27. I stalled for almost 3 weeks after surgery and literally had to quit weighing or else I would've gone crazy. then it suddenly started coming off. I am light weight, having around 50 total to lose so I don't expect it to go quickly. I just keep following the nutrition guide and walking. Next week I start cross fit back and hope it really starts melting then. Good luck. Don't get discouraged.

I am 4 weeks post op and tolerate a little coffee. I drink mine black, but have tried it with cream. Either way, I only want about 1/4 cup for some reason. I did Water it down a bit when I first tried it.

I had vsg Dec 5th. I had a total of 55 lbs to lose. I don't regret it. Down 27 lbs. I've always struggled with weight even though I worked out a lot and ate right most of the time. I needed this extra tool. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using the BariatricPal App

Mine was 12-5. I used the gas x strips and mine was very tolerable. When I first woke up in had a lot of pressure in my chest but it passed. Good luck. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using the BariatricPal App

4 weeks post op today and I am having my first day of wanting to overeat. I just want to graze. I think it is being off for the holiday and it is raining and storming out. I guess it has triggered those days of cooking and eating and being lazy. I am going to get dressed and get out of the house. I will not let this beat me. I just started losing after a long post op stall. Good luck everyone.

Great news! I'm 28 days post op. I have had no complications and I'm down 24 lbs. I enjoy the positive vibes. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using the BariatricPal App

I drink v8 with a splash of Pickles juice in it. It's awesome. Lol Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using the BariatricPal App

4 weeks post op. Feeling great. I have not started Iron or B 12. I always took a break complex supplement before my vsg. Is iron a common supplement? Your thoughts on either iron or b12 is appreciated. Happy New Year! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using the BariatricPal App

I am 9 days post op and officially on soft foods for the next month. I am down 15 pounds, my incisions look awesome and I have very little discomfort from the surgery left. I am still building back my energy. I get to start on my supplements now as well. My surgeon told me that now I get my Protein from foods and no more Protein shakes. However, I know that it will be impossible to get that much protein in the small amount of food that I am able to eat so I am going to continue to rely on them for now. I am excited for this journey. I walk daily and it really helps me build on my energy level. Will start back to crossfit in mid January. I am ready to post a BIG weight loss and trying to be patient. Good luck to you all!!!

4 weeks post op and I'm having a small cup most days. I think it just depends on your tolerance. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using the BariatricPal App

Hello I am in Houston! Dec 5th vsg! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using the BariatricPal App

My vsg was Dec 5. I too was very discouraged with post op weight loss so I have quit weighing for now. Instead I am focusing on walking and eating right. I see my nutritionist on the 12th and am hoping for nice surprise of weight loss. In the meantime I am feeling thinner and clothes are getting bigger. That has to be enough for me right now.

3 weeks post op and I survived the holiday easily enough. I did get in almost 1000 cals on Christmas but I still see that as a win! I avoided sugar and most fats with the exception of a little extra cheese. No bread and no red meat. Had 1 Oz of wine with dinner. How about you?
