I am starting to stress bad. I had my surgery Aug 29th 2017 everything seemed to be going great so far but I feel like I'm getting cravings back and I feel like anything I eat even if it's just a protien shake that it's going to make me gain weight and all the weight i Lost is goin to come back. I'm at a stall and I fluctuate between 237 and 240 and I'm starting to lose hope and get depressed. I don't eat junk or barely any carbs if i do it's maybe for lunch while I'm at work. I take diet meds and I still feel hungry. I'm full for a little while and then my stomach feels empty and makes these crazy noises. I am terrified I am going to stretch my stomach... if i go back to liquids will my stomach shrink back? Idk what to do. I've been there so much in my life since this surgery and I feel like if this one thing I've worked so hard for messes up I'm ruined... Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using BariatricPal mobile app

Is there anything I can drink to clean me out and maybe do like a reboot? So I can work on shrinking my stomach some more. Any idea how I can go about this? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using BariatricPal mobile app

I am exercising and I am on my feet all day. I am a hair stylist in a very busy salon it's always non stop. I usually start my morning off with a premier protien bar or a lean 1 snickerdoodle shake which is 30 or 25g Then I take a new whey liquid protien shot which is 42g. Usually during the day I'll eat a cheese rectangle which is 14g and the only meat I eat now is either chicken, salmon, tuna, or turkey. For water i usually drink about 2 to 3 bottles and 1 or 2 Lipton diet green tea bottles. For a snack I'll have protien chips or Greek yogurt or something in that nature. I do always feel like I'll eat and like a hr later my stomach feels empty it's weird. I'm just doing this alone and I'm just so sacred I'm gonna mess it up. My kids are being a great support they r 10 and 6 and they have changed their eating habits and encourage me to go to the gym in my apartment complex and stuff like that.. sometimes I feel like when I eat dinner or lunch that I'm eating too much so I stop myself. Idk I'm just nervous i guess. I feel like I should be losing more. My clothes r fitting looser and people are telling me in losing so much but I guess I'm in denial.

I had my surgery Aug 29th 2017. I started at 299 day of surgery was 271 I am now 233. I am at a stall and I feel like my stomach is stretched some. But when I eat fruit it kinda effects my stomach and when I drink milk it hurts kinda. I'm just confused that's all and I'm scared I'm gonna screw up everything I've done so far.

Can some of you tell me how much the total bill was on your surgery. I want to hear feed back from you all not a doctors office.

I had my surgery Aug 29th, 2017 i am 5'7 and was 299 when I start this journey in January. Day I came home from hospital after surgery I was 260 I am 245 now. I take in as much protein as i can and I drink water like a fish now. But I have noticed I get really bad headaches and if i get up or turn my head too fast I get really light headed. One time my bf had to hug me for a min so I would fall he could feel my knees rocking back and forth. I don't understand why. I take my multi vitamin like I'm suppose to and I'm even at a stall with the weight lose. Is there anything I can do to pick up the weight lose again and stop these dizzy spells?

I was told it is protein intake. If u don't get the full amount of protein hair lose is one side effect. Being that ur hair is protein if it doesn't have the nutrients to keep it up it will fall out. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using BariatricPal mobile app

I usually have between 600 to 900 calories and I eat about 4 to 5 times a day. Small meals. Only real meal I'll eat is lunch and dinner. Breakfast I'll do a shake. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using BariatricPal mobile app

Hello I'm 26yrs old and I had the sleeve done on Aug 29, 2017... when I started this journey i weighed 299lbs and now I am 250lbs My surgery went great and I stuck to my diet my Dr told me. I'm to the point where I can eat pureed and soft foods. I get full very quickly but 2 hrs later I'm hungry again. Like my stomach makes the craziest noises and has that empty feeling. I been sticking to high protein and either very little sugar (6g at the most) or none at all if possible. I even been taking my adipex again thinkin it will help. I am to the point where I'm just not losing anything now. I'm very stressed out about it bc I don't want this to be it. I been working hard and seeing that I'm fluctuating between 249 to 252. Is there anything I can do to help lower the numbers again? I do work out and I'm always on my feet at work being that I'm a hairstylist in a busy area. I just don't know if how I'm feeling is normal and if I'm supposed to be eating like this. I can really use a mentor to help me succeed and do the right things.

Hello I had my sleeve done Aug 29th 2017. I havent had any complications but I did have gas bubbles in my collar bone from the co2 that was very painful but finally went away. I'm basically just wanting to know when will I start losing weight. When I started this i was 299 and day of surgery I was 244. My weight when I was discharged was 260 i stayed a day n a half n the hospital and now today I am 254. I'm not hungry at all but everytime I drink it feels like a ton of bricks being dropped in my stomach. I'm always tired and kinda feel weak. Other than never feeling hungry I don't have any other things to help me feel good about this. When do i start seeing changes? I see the weight dropping but the inches aren't going anywhere.

Also I get the feeling I need to burp but when I try it comes to be like a cramping indigestion sensation. It hurts pretty bad. I take gas x pills but I can't help not being able to burp. Is this normal? And does it get better? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using BariatricPal mobile app -

My Dr told me the flinstone gummies r the perfect things to take. I take 2 in the morning and 2 at night and it gives me everything I need. It's not alot of money at all. I recommend them. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using BariatricPal mobile app
