I havent lose weight but I havent gain weight either....but I've been working out and not lost anything in about a week or 2 Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

I've been a little concerned with my progress...I'm 5 months in since my surgery and I've been losing only about 2 pounds per week....is that right?? I've been working out, eating as best as I can, as I ever did, and I'm only losing 2 pounds per week. It's really stressing me out because I feel like it should be more and I try not to be hard on myself but some times I cant help it. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

I've lost a total of 70 since my surgery date in July....21 weeks ago....maybe I'm just being hard on myself Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

I live with my mom and my sister, they are the only know that knows....and my boss because I had to ask leave but I'm not telling anyone..I havent even told my best friend. Before I was even planning to get the surgery she would tell me "Don't ever get the surgery...I dont want you too and I wouldn't be supportive" so I havent told her nor any family and friends..I had my surgery in July....its come up around family but I keep denying it..I feel like it's my journey..my alone...its not taking the easy rode as people say, as I used to say. It's really hard work....I. proud of my progress and I dont want to bring in negative vibe...if you do decide to tell people I hope you will not get any negative vibe but just good support Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

While in Soft food stage, I was in encourage (by doctors) to eat 2 eggs....I was never able to..not even after solid food...I would feel stuff after just eating ...but this morning, without realizing I ate both eggs....is my stomach getting bigger??

Thank you very much!! I haven't tried soup yet...been a bit afraid of that lol did you doctor told you to drink with meals? Mine has me stop drinking 30 mins before a meal and start drinking 30 mins after a meal. And you are right about enjoying a meal and feeling pain...its such a terrible feeling...in public I just deal with it but at home I have let put a scream or two lol Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

I had surgery on the 16th, I misread my meal plans and starting eating soft food a week before than I was asked too. Today I had a couple of cheetos..I know it was a stupid idea to have done so....now I feel like I've stretched my stomach out. Is that possible? Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

It's been 5 days since my surgery. Second day sleeping at home. It is now 1:28am, last night it was 4:30am and I still had no sleep. I'm in so much pain! What have I done to myself? I'm on a strict diet, only water and Gatorade. I'm so mad!! It hurts to drink. Why are they forcing me to drink. I'm starving, my stomach is asking for food. I can't eat normal anymore. What have I done? I'm so mad. I just want to sleep. My family don't understand the pain. I need my medicine, "it's 1am, just go to sleep". I can't!! Doctor recommended walking, okay, let's go. I can't walk to far without feeling like my stitches are ripping. "Keep going", they say "Walk further." I know my family means well and I'm trying. I'm really trying. Some times I push through the pain. I do what I'm ask. But then there's time like today, where I'm just so frustrated with myself, with the pain, with only wanting to sleep. Did I make the right decision? Can I go back in time? I just want to press forward...skip through this frustration...feel me again Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

Yes!!! Thank you and I wish you luck and also will be praying that your recovery will not be as painful! Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

I havent been able to sleep on my side but when I sit down and I'm leaning a little more on either side I feel pain. I cant bend down...it hurts to much. Not sure if this help. Maybe others can give you a better answer. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

Same here. It hurts me too when I take a bigger sip then I should. I will ask my doctor about Levsin. Thank you Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

That was really sweet of your husband!! As of now I'm sticking to Room Temperature drinks, i am afraid to try cold or even warm/hot drinks. Thank you very much for your words!! I will ask my doctor about Levsin, i understand that feeling. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

Both it's hard to explain. Most time it hurts outside. If I'm walking for to long or getting up and sitting back down to fast or to much. Inside it hurts if I'm sitting to long or laying down a little more on either side. It's really hard to explain. I really hope this doesn't discourage you. Every body heals different and many people are saying better things Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

Thank you! I will try to at least warm tea. I start Protein Shakes on Monday. I guess all doctor work different because a friend of mine was able to do soup the first week and Protein Shakes just a fre days later. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

Thank you! I'm glad you are now doing well and I appreciate your response! Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

Thank you for responding! I'm still in Water and Gatorade diet...at one week I can add Protein Shakes. I will have to ask my doctor about PPI. They gave me pain medication but nothing for stomach acid and that's been one if my concern. Thank you Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app
