Okay, I will whine. I have a love/hate relationship with cortisone/steroid injections. They have eliminated my back pain, restored my mobility, and made it possible for me to exercise again! Yay, it feels awesome to be moving. But, as everyone warned, it is definitely affecting my weight loss, hence the hate part.

My weight loss has tremendously slow down and I am not sure why. I am only 5.5 weeks out. Everyone says eat more... it is hard getting the food down I barely eat now without vomitng. I ride my bike three times a week for thirty minutes.

My only whine is about being stuck at home while recovering from my surgery. I had my sleeve surgery last Wednesday. As per my doctor, I'm not "allowed" to drive until after my appointment with him tomorrow. It's boring here at home. At least I've been able to catch up with Misfits on Hulu. I should probably get around to reading World War Z since my husband brought that home from the library for me. Oh, and it's rainy and cold out, so I cannot wander out for a walk at the moment. :(

Gosh, I have nothing to whine about. Oh, I did weigh myself just to be amazed at the new 158.4 scale #. Was pleasantly surprised that I had dropped a couple of ozs. YAYYYYYYYYYYY! But I really wasn't expecting anything. I'm cold and then I'm hot. Confusing, yes I know. Anyhow, have a wonderful day! ;)

I am sick of being stalled. I had the dreaded 3rd week stall for two weeks then woo hoo I lost 8 lbs in 4 days only to be stalled again for another week at this point with no end in sight. It's tiring and frustrating and messes with my head. :o(

i have had the "crud" for over a week now, im still coughing my head off and my right ear is still clogged. It is driving me insande, it makes me not even want to stand up cause i feel lopsided! On the plus side, ive lost about 6 pounds while being sick. Not the healthiest i know, but i went to ER to get fluids so i know im not dehydrated, just cant eat.

I don't understand how I can have a slight gain (8 oz) from yesterday to today. My total calories yesterday were 800. Drank all my Water and burned about 200 cals walking (w/ hills). This not that TOM. Ugh!!!

I may come back and whine after my doctor's appointment if I haven't lost any weight but for now I will just whine about missing my scale. I put it away so that I wouldn't be tempted to weigh myself every 5 minutes. I know it may be crazy but I actually miss my scale! Every time I walk into the bathroom and see the empty spot where it used to be I want to weigh myself! UGH! But, I have been good. It is put away and I will not know my weight until the doctor weighs me this afternoon. It will feel better to hear pounds lost in a week or so rather than seeing a pound lost today and gained back tomorrow because I'm weighing myself so darn much.

I've been sleeved for 23 days and I hate it. I feel like I've destroyed my life and I will never feel ok again.

Bedhead: Hope you feel better! It does get better and yes it is a scary feeling when we struggle with discomfort with our sleeves. Thank goodness at 4 months out I started feeling so much better. Now I have to fight my head hunger which can really do a number on me. Hang in there and glad to see your hear. ;)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
