I am feeling ya both.. I stalled out and I know that I am not doing what I should be, I am doing much better than I was before the surgery but I know I am not counting and such I do measure while at home but not while out. I do snack since my nutritionist said I could have 1 a day... but I usually have 2 but they are fruit or nuts nothing too awful.

Been doing well I guess .. I suck at protein intake and water intake and miss coffee:( of all things that my body decided not to tolerate it ended up being coffee!!! I started at my HW 242 and my CW is 145 so not too bad I go for my 9 month visit on the 22nd so we will see what they say:) Wishing everyone the best in the new year!!

That’s great!! I am down 71 pounds as of this morning. I don’t feel so weighted down by the extra weight. Having fun doing things I couldn’t do with my 11 yr old son:) Hope everyone else is doing well😊

Thank you all... I’ve turned to protein water and no shakes for now. I did buy the flavorless whey and will add that in again soon. I am losing slowly now I know it’s lack of gym and maybe lower protein and water intake but gonna keep trying!! Hope you all are doing well:)

Just curious about this upper stomach pain. I am 2 on days post op and during the procedure I guess they found a hernia that they repaired while I was under and I am wondering if anyone else who had a hernia repaired has this pain. I am trying to drink my liquids and it just is painful trying to get fluids in. It feels like the top of my stomach is going to pop. It gets very painful with a stabbing pain. I have made myself burp and walked but I can't seem to get the liquids down without it acting up. Anyone else have this and have any tips? I also came home with a med pump that of course goes in where my bra would be so I even took that off thinking that was the problem but nope. Thanks:) in advance

Slow loser here... since last weigh in I have lost 38 pounds which really seem like it should be more:(

I had a rash all over my stomach and it was a reaction to the blood thinner:( hope it gets better soon!

I will have to try that!!

Been a while since I posted, nice to read all the updates. I had my sleeve done on 4/9 and so far weight loss is 26 pounds from that morning:) I am still on mushy food until June 12 not that I am watching the calendar very closely lol.. But I have noticed that I can not eat a full 2oz like they say.. Does anyone else have this issue? I can get 1/2oz - maybe a little over an ounce but by then my stomach is so uncomfortable I know it is time to stop. I am having a hard time with the protein I am now at the point every time I start to drink one I want to puke.

Congratulations on loss! My strips are still there as well, I can’t wait to get them off:)

While other are posting progress I’ll throw my little bit in:) Sleeved on 4/9: HW:242 Surgery Day: 229 Weight after I came home:235 Todays weight: 217!!! I am utterly tired of all protein ahhhh... can’t wait until May 1 for some mushy food!! Sweet Jesus let time pass quickly 🤣🤣. Best of wishes to you all!!

Congratulations!!🎈 I am right there with you on.. who would ever think someone would be so happy to eat mushy!! I can’t wait I think I have 2 weeks left.. that is as long as all goes well with follow up Weds

My follow up is actually the 24th as well, I will find out then about moving on to pureed food and get the thumbs up for the mushies the week after!! Praying because I am actually getting hungry for something other than: Broth, water, jello, protein repeat repeat repeat omg!!

I was sleeved on the 9th and had a surprise hernia repair:) I weighed 242 at the dr office on my last visit Day of surgery 229 2 days after I came home I made the mistake of getting on the scale and it said 235, from all the fluids and such Weighed myself today and it said 221:) I am only able to wear sports bras and still very uncomfortable wearing pants so I am living the sweatpants life. My surgeon told me that I could go back to work Monday but my job won't let me back without a dr note UGH.. so I have to wait for my follow up on Weds. I am still on a liquid diet and can't go to thicker fluid until next week then a week after that I can finally go to mushy food and I have to stay on that for 6 weeks:( Best wishes to all:)

the straight lines to the left tell me this is some kind of contact dermatitis..are you using a heating pad? changed your detergent? wearing new clothes or underwear? sitting next to an animal your allergic to? It was an allergic reaction to lovonox. I was allergic to my blood thinner!! I am now on meds to heal this rash heal. But I will not continue my blood thinner. I was not near heating pad. No new detergents, nothing out of norm other than the Bariatric meds. So ahh ha!! Now just to heal:)

Well after a few days I have a bad rash and can not get it to go away even with Benadryl it will not go away ugh!! Anyone else break out?

Maybe my pump is like your patch, I’m still taking it slow on the bending and moving but the top of my stomach to right above my belly button is all taped up because of the tubes to the pump going in under the skin.. it is supposed to be done and empty tomorrow and I can un tape and pull this thing out!! I don’t have an vision issues I do hope that goes away soon for you!

Mine isn’t as bad, not sure if my pain was from the unexpected hernia repair:( My ON-Q pump runs out tomorrow so it will be nice to have all the tape and bandages off my stomach!! I definitely have learned take small sips:)

Did they use glue or give you stitches? I took a shower the next day as well even with the ON-V pump. I also was glued lol

With the compression belt helping were you sent home with an On_V pump?

I wish I knew I am just 3 days out and am having a hard time drinking. I can't wait to get to the mushy food phase. I am not thinking of pizza but OMG the thought of a mushroom swiss burger with grilled onions drives me nuts:) I hope things get better for you soon!

I was just sleeved on the 9th and had no idea about the hernia, I wonder if it could have waited as well.. I had the endoscopy just a week before surgery and not a word about it then so.. I wish that I had just been sleeved because this pain in my stomach when I drink is nuts. Along with the sharp pain I get out of no where is not fun at all.

Funny the no.2 thing has not been a problem as of today and I have been burping but dear lord drinking anything sucks. I thought best to try to get the protein down over anything else, water will come after.

I feel your pain. I was sleeved on the 9th and I am having the same issue. I have a lot of pain tho in my upper stomach whenever I try to drink and then get sharp pains it really stinks. I also found out that I had a hernia repair idk if that is why it is so uncomfortable but.. I feel your pain

So jealous ha ha! I can start purées in 3 weeks!! My pain is in the top part of my stomach I guess with the hernia maybe that’s where they did work? I also took a shower and that was fun trying to hang this bag with the med pump outside so it didn’t get wet and be in the shower at the same time:) I texted hubby and said I’m a big kid now since I got dressed all by myself lol.
