Where Are My April 2012 Sleevers?

[arj1016 57]

I have been stalled about 10 days...everytime I get on the scale' date=' it is exactly the same...no matter how much Water I drank, how little food, how much food...it is really starting to get on my nerves...I feel like I should be down another ten pounds...I keep thinking, I hope this is not it...what am I doing wrong? I start a good exercise program tomorrow...Tuesday is my 6-week post-op day...I would like to show a loss...that means it will be almost two weeks at the same weight.[/quote']

Keep at it! You are doing great! It's a race for distance! I go for my 6 week spot Wednesday. Keep me posted.

Today had a nsv! I wore a shirt that I bought four years ago that never fit. In fact I wore it as a jacket! I wore it today and could button it up and it wad even loose! That shirt alone was worth the surgery!

Have anyone experienced terrible back pain? I'm 4 weeks postop and yesterday my back started hurting and today still in terrible pain.

Right upper quadrant or midback?

Midback

It could be your gallbladder. Add a little olive oil to something you are eating...I saw where some sleevers actually took medication to keep it from messing up their gallbladders. I have eaten a little too much before and it hurt my left side for a day or two, had to go back to soft foods until it calmed down.

So today was my 1 month post - op. I was a little nervous. I know that I have all of your support here; but every doctor is different and I wasn't sure if I was doing how they wanted me to do it.

Officially, I am 33.4 pounds lost since surgery. Great! one thing to Celebrate. I was told that I am taking this as I should and getting in everything that I needed. The NUT told me that she wants me to work up to 2000 calories burned in a week for exercise and I should be about 800 - 850 calories a day. They asked me to split my meals up so that I am not eating so many ounces in one sitting. I will have to start planning a little better. She was a great help in showing me how to make sure that I am getting more for the buck when it came to Protein so I am not wasting the calories. All and all it was a great day.

To reward my weight loss I went and had a manicure and eyebrow wax. I have to look great for when I go back to work on Tuesday. Tomorrow I should burn some more calories. I am off to Disneyland with my son. A little fun to treat and test myself. I will let everyone know how my meal planning went

I hope everyone has a great Memorial Day Weekend.

I haven't checked in with you guys lately! But I just added a bunch of you as friends on mfp. My surgery was April 27 and I've lost 37 pounds with my preop diet. I'm really feeling a difference and can definitely tell a big difference in my face. What did you guys eat at 4 weeks? Tomorrow I get to start eating more "normal" food (just soft) and I'm nervous!
