Update 8/19. I am down 40 lbs. My daughter is now 2 weeks out and stalled at 20 lbs. Now, I know it is just something that happens and the weight will continue to fall off.

Why is the 1st month so hard?

I have a question. I am about 5 weeks out and I feel like hell. I am trying to go back to work. Every morning I am light headed and sick. I eat . I even try protein shakes that I will throw up. I keep having to get my blood pressure medicine lowered. The actual point of the surgery. However, every time it changes I have problems again. My thyroid meds had to be changed because I am now getting to much. Did anyone else ever feel like this and will this get better? I have lost 30 lbs since my surgery 7/13/11. I just had my blood work drawn again today. I am a little frustrated. -
I had the same thing happen last year. I had started with cigna. Half way through process insurance was switched to United. I was completely freaked out. However, it all worked out better than with cigna. I had my surgery on July 13 and my daughter is having hers on the !st. It covered both of us. You just have to make sure your Dr. is a provider as well as the hospital he operates. Good luck!!!!!!

Ok, I am just over 2 weeks out. I have lost 20 lbs. I am only able to eat maybe 600-700 calories a day. I am still on a soft diet. I try to get in all my protein and water. That is really hard to do. I am concerned because the last 5 days I have not lost any weight. Actually gained a 1lb. Is this normal? Not much going in and nothing coming off. I am going to the gym and doing my 30 minutes of cardio. Also, since the surgery I have been having allergic reactions. Just about any thing will cause my hands and feet to itch like crazy. Grass, dust, really anything. I was not allergic to any of this before the surgery. Weird huh? Now I am taking benadryl @ least once a day to stop the itching. Any advice from my veterans out there would be appreciated. Thanks

I had my surgery on Wens. the 13th. I am feeling really good except for the shoulder pain. They told me I would get it due to the laproscopic gas. It is like an ice pick in my shoulder joint. My friend is 5 months post op. She too had this problem she said it will take a week to go away. She also told me she is starting to lose her hair....hmmmm. I hope I don't get that. As for my period it was supposed to start two weeks from now and started yesterday with a vengeance! Surprise! Must be the hormones. I have lost 11 lbs. In 5 days. I did not expect it to be that fast. I am eating a liquid diet with puddings and cream soups. And lots of added protein. NO problems keeping food down. I just fill up really quick. I am excited to get my drains out on Thurs. other than that I am just going day to day! I am just so happy I am never hungry! I know that will change but I will enjoy it as long as it lasts!!!!!! Pre -surgical weight 265 lbs. was 254 this am.

HI! This website is NOT easy to navigate. There are posts, private messages, blogs, topics . ay yi yi! I know facebook. Can't it be simple like FB? I just found the help section today and figured out the weight ticker. Go to tickerfactory.com to create your ticker. You don't have to create an account, just select your background and slider then copy paste it to your signature on ur profile.

Thanks for the encouragement you sent me. I am having a difficult time navigating this website. You think as a nurse I could do better. I can not even figure out how to get a weight loss ticker. Any suggestions???? thanks. I am ready for my surgery on the 13th but this has been a long process. I can't believe it is almost here!
