Slow loser

[celebrate*me 52]

So disappointed, today marks one month since I had the surgery. I still can't eat anything without it getting stuck or vommiting besides Protein Shakes and I only lost 23 pounds. I think this is the slowest in history. I'm just feeling good enough to excerise so I will start today. This really makes me sad.

WoW !!! I dont know about anyone else but 23 pounds in 1 month is amazing! I wouldnt count that as a slow looser! I think you are doing excellent, Keep up the good work!!

Truly, that's not a slow loss, your loss is excellentZ. I was told to expect 2-4 lbs a week and you are well above that at just shy of 6 pounds a week. I don't understand why you're having so much difficulty eating, that concerns me and absolutely needs to be discussed with your surgeon!!!! Good luck and stop being so hard on yourself!!!

I was one month out last Wednesday . I had lost 18. I feel that is really slow but the way I look at it is I would have never lost 18 pounds in a month without this surgery.

23 is great! I lost about 20-22 pounds then about 2-3 per week after that. About 10 per month. Also, I agree. You should be having an easier time with food by now. Give your Dr. a call. :-)

Thank you for the encouragement. You are so uplifting!! I don't know why eatting is so hard. Is that unusual to still be having difficulties after a month. I can tolerate eggs mixed with a spoon of watery grits , Soup and refried Beans with no problem. Everything else gets stuck. If this is not normal I will def call my Dr.

Most us are very supportive and can relate but there are some that still judge and post ugly comments! Wish we could delete those people

I had a Protein bar for Breakfast with no issues, Sunday I had corned beef an cabbage ()sliced thin, tiny bites, and chewed well) but no problems. Yeah I would expect things to be easier for you at this point. Keep your chin up! You've lost a 2 year old!

I had a very difficult time eating for the 1st six week, zofran (anti-nausea) was my best friend. I would wake up nauseated before I ate anything too. Concentrate on what you can eat and keep down and eat those items - don't go for too much variety. If you are worried, call your Dr and ask, but with the massive rearrangment of our insides it is normal to have a difficult time, some are able to bounce back quickly, some take a little more time. When I had the full - kind of sick feeling a hot bath (even in the middle of the summer when it was 100 degrees) was very soothing. Best of luck.

A heating pad works wonders too....at least for me it did. Silly thing was my comfort for a month, I've put it back in a drawer and find I want to pull it out and snuggle cuz it's soothing
