  1. I agree. I am diabetic and the shake diet did not work for me. I was so sick. They changed it to one small meal and 4 shakes or bars.

    Vomit up solids

    I would say no to throwing up. Yes, to weight loss slowing down. Contact your Dr about the throwing up. Best wishes!

    Water goals

    I'm guilty of getting approximately 40 oz a day. I'm on regular food, but get too full.

    CHI Franciscan experiences

    Yeah! I'm happy for you! Ps if you need protein, check Walgreens. I was in there and they clearance a whole bunch and was 90% off.

    ❤ APRIL 2019 CHALLENGE❤

    I guess 6 pounds is not a failure. I just expected more and was seriously scared I may not lose one more pound. But I have never in my life lost 48 pounds. I would be happy with 6 pounds a month, because that's 72 pounds in one year and could get me closer to 180. Thanks for the positive encouragement!

    ❤ APRIL 2019 CHALLENGE❤

    I'm sorry. Squeaking in here. I feel like a failure. I never posted. I started at 296 and my goal was 280. I'm 9 weeks out and have lost 48 pounds, but only 6 the last month. I'm sorry, I'm not able to do the exercises like the ones posted. Not yet, at least. In suffering from gout right now and waiting for dispatch health to come look at it this afternoon. For now I can't even walk without pain. Congrats to everyone losing this month!

    Stomach spasms, newly sleeved

    I have a problem with my stomach. I went to see the PA Nd she said it sounded like stomach spasms. It's hard to explain it. It is not constant. It's a deep ache and feeling nauseous. it only lasts about 5 seconds and goes away. I'm not sure if your sounds like mine. If I still have it in e more weeks they will do an endoscopy to take a look. Btw I'm 9 weeks out. I hope we both figure out what is going on!

    Suitable pain meds

    I was told I could occasionally take ibuprofen. I, too, have arthritis and agree it works best. Tylenol just doesn't cut it. Right now I have got gout in my left toe and have been limping and it has caused bad right knee pain. Unless one has arthritis, they don't know the aching pain. I wish you well!

    Surgery went well

    Doesc water taste funny to you? It tasted sweet to me. It has changed now, but was weird how things tasted so different. Congrats! Hope you get to feeling better soon!

    1 Week Post-Op

    Soon, you will gradually get to have real food and will feel better. I know how hard it is. My hunger came back day five and broth really helped to fill the hole in my stomach. Full liquids and I was eating yogurt and that helped. Good luck!

    Surgery day is here!!

    Sorry. I see bypass. Hope you recover soon!!
  16. Yes, I had buyers remorse the 3rd day. I couldnt stop crying. It hurt so bad to just drink water and I was in so much pain. It gets way better, I promise! I've had bumps in the road and went to the ER 2 times. I feel loads better! Best wishes!

    I don’t think am losing

    From week 4 to week 8 I lost zero. I gained 3 pounds. I've now lost 5 pounds the last 2 weeks. You are very early on and it looks like you lost a lot if weight pre-op, as I did. I think your body is taking a break. You will start losing again. Best wishes!

    WHY AM I NOT LOSING????

    I'm 9 weeks out. I went through a 4 week period and I lost nothing. Im back on track and have lost 5 pounds. Hang in there!
  22. I had mine repaired, but knew going in. It was really painful the first couple of weeks. I'm now 9 weeks out and can swallow and even chug down fluids now. It definitely gets better!

    QMB

    I'm not sure exactly what this is, but I have Medicare and only paid $245 for surgery and had to wait 8 months total.
  24. No way! It makes feel terrible! If I need to take a pill with food, I do so before.
