Girl' date=' I have been stuck on 274 for two weeks now. I don't know how it happens when were only eating appx 700 calories a day. I'm two months post op, I thought I'd thought I would've lost a bit more than 45 pounds.

oh well, its not a gain...[/quote']

I'll be 7 weeks on Monday and am only at 29 lost so u r doing really good!

Update on Gallbladder scan....no stones but i got sludge in there. They called it biliary dyskinesia. Have only had very mild left side pain. Dr. said the sludge "could" turn to stones. I don't know what to do??? Should i get it out or wait and see if stones do form? Also' date=' unrelated to gallbladder. Today my pouch is grouchy and crampy....first time since surgery i've had cramps in my pouch that were this uncomfortable.[/quote']

If you have the option, id have them take it out. Why wait for it to get worse? That pain SUCKS! The surgery is easier than the gastric bypass by far if you ask me! Good luck!

I know eventually I'll probably end up getting it out. I just need a break and more time to heal from the other two surgeries. I looked at my bcbs account online this morning....Everything since April is almost $80,000.00. I bet they are hating me right now...LOL

Sun is finally shining after days of rain and gloom! And I lost two more pounds this morning! Woohoo! 274 which is 29 lbs down from surgery on 4/22. Have a great day all!

Congrats! You are doing great. You must have sent the rain to PA. It's been pouring for 24 hours with no end in sight. You are one week ahead of me. I'm still stuck at 16 lbs lost. The scale just goes up or down 1-2 lbs every day. But my energy is improving. Still not eating much in the way of solid food.< /p>

I'm so thankful I've found this forum as a outlet cause I feel like u..I lost track a few days and didn't get nowhere near goal with my Protein. Revamping it tho this week and gonna hit it hard. If u ever need to talk I'm here..for u and anyone else. We are in this together and all kinda have the same ups and downs

OMG, you are my hero! You had surgery the day after I did, and I've only lost 16 lbs. You are definitely doing something right. I can't seem to get all my protein in unless I incorporate at least one Protein Shake a day. I'm getting sick of them, so today I used only one scoop of Bariatric Advantage instead of two. Only up to 320 calories today, but I am heading to a party. Hope there is something there I can eat.

Where do you get this? I'd love to try it!

Thus i got from a coffee shop in Montana. But you can get it on the big train Web site, Ebay or Amazon. I mix one scoop with Water and ice and blend. 16 ounces is four net carbs and sixty calories. Its a nice treat.

Not good! So sorry! The years is only half over, maybe you should wait a little longer... But if it were me I wouldn't wait for another year just cause you've already met your deductible and out of pocket it sounds like.

As far as the crampy pouch I can relate. I don't know why but mine is tonight too! I haven't had it feel like this is a long time. Blah it always feels like something lol

Yes...i was just talking to hubby about our out of pocket for the year and that i should really get it out before January. I'm thinking possibly August if the pain does not get any worse....but if it does, I'll do is sooner. Just hate it...cause we are going on vacation July 5th and don't won't to be bothered with this!!! Must be this June air causing grouchy pouches. TMI...but, been "pooting" and it's helping a bit
