I'm not having any problems with it, but I bet it's just due to the hormonal changes that come with losing weight so quickly. Not that that helps cause I HATE breakouts! But maybe an answer at least.... :)

I was wondering too if anyone has had any issues with their periods either not coming or seeming to take it's good old time? I have had symptoms of my period coming for about 2 weeks now, cramps and all, but no dice. Anyone else's cycle change or get funky?

Oh, ok. This would be my first since surgery too. And did you get breakouts before with your period? Mine are always these little tiny zits in Patches if I get them. I rarely get one or two large ones anymore. I have that spot treatment that I will put on my breakouts for about 3 days or so and it seems to clear them up for me. Lemme look and see what it is I have exactly.

No... I wouldn't brake out... These are huge! It's only two, but they are right by my eye at the top of my cheek bone.. I did buy some zit zap crap today.. hope it starts to at least shrink!

How long ago did you have surgery...mine was 12/27/12.

I'm a little more than a week post op. Before surgery loved the Bariatric Advantage shakes and still do now. Yesterday I was able to drink two and they're 27g Protein each. Try those if you haven't yet. They're yum :)

I am only a week post op.. had my one week appt friday and wasn't expecting any difference in the scale. my last weigh in at the doctor office was 271.. and after that nasty drink my weight at the hospital was 267... my one week weigh in was 258. I also feel like I should be losing more. I asked my doc what I was doing wrong and he told me that I'm not doing anything wrong. normally if you have a fatty liver it can take from there first. and make sure your drinking and doing your walking as well. I just want more results then what I am seeing. I get so discouraged when I read other peoples stories of big amounts of weight taken off... but then again I think of the ability to be tightening up as I'm slowly losing and don't have to worry bout the loose skin as much. we need to keep our heads up and keep positive. best of luck

We had surgery about the same time. Your one week weigh in you lost 9 pounds! That's tons in just one week. I've done the same. That's amazing!!! Don't be disappointed. 9 pounds!?!?! :)

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
