June Post Ops!

I think I can drink 8 oz in way less time. I. Don't think I am stretching anything bc my eating is still very limited at meal time.

Surgery: 6/5/2013

My surgeon says that you can't stretch your stomach by drinking which to me makes sense. I had an 11 oz Protein shake this morning and it took me about a half hour to drink it.

I seriously have been thinking the same thing. I see the pictures people post here and think wow...but then i look at myself and think dang...when will I start to see a difference. I have some black scrubs in my closet that are no where close to fitting yet. It brings me down...bad. Thanks for your post...at least I don't feel so alone on this.

Preop weight 389 current weight 333 lost to date 56lbs rny 6/11/13

Yup. I have pants for work that haven't fit in years' date=' and even with losing so much weight, I can still hardly button them.

I'm in the same situation. Pre op I was in an 18 but I tried on a 16 the other day and they fit but they were TIGHT!! I'm down 38lbs. I have noticed that it depends on the brand. I have a couple of pants that I bought at target and they are a size 18 but I bought a pair of 16 at Macy's. And the size 18 Levi's I have are like 6 inches too big. Go figure. Everything will even out.

Preop I was a 22/24 and I can fit in a 20 now. But they're huge. And an 18 is still impossibly small.

Me too friends! I know intellectually that the weight will come off but . . . Seems like I've been at the 38 lb loss mark forever. I can't fail at this' date=' can I? (Yes I'm exercising and getting in at least 50g Protein daily).[/quote']

Yup. Same here. Everyone else the weight is flying off and I'm here like yup, I'm still fat. Probably averaging 75g of Protein a day and walking 3-4 days a week.

My surgery was on June 18th, was down 16.5 lbs after 9 days, this week I had by six week visit and I'm not losing weight like I should be according to the dr. It's depressing to think I went through all this rigimoroll and I'm not losing any faster than being on a regular diet. I'm going to try and follow everything my dr says to the letter and see if that makes a difference. I think I've been suffering from bad head hunger, and have snacked. I know, shame on me!

[aprily79 8]

Today marked 9 weeks out for me. Down 39 lbs but not even two pants sizes. Makes me wonder where I lost the weight from. It's like I'm failing at this too. Everyone else gets to break up with Lane Bryant and Avenue. I feel like I'm stuck forever.

You'll get there! Keep your chin up! Losing weight, even with surgery isn't easy, so pay yourself on the back for being down 39 lbs! You should be proud of yourself ????

[daynauky1 65]

I'm so happy I haven't gotten the stuck feeling ivd been doing good I had 2oz of chicken breast stuffed with ham and cheese the other day ... And yesterday for dinner I had 2 oz of turkey meat loaf delicious... I just been eating my food very slow I took one bite and waited about two mins then took another bite .. I think that's why I was getting the stuck feeling and throwing up I was eating to Quickly at one time

HOLY MOTHER F****** DUMPING SYNDROME!!! Oh my goodness! I haven't experienced this until today. I got stupid and decided to try an oatmeal Breakfast cookie that I made my fiancé. I am SO sick! My heart is pounding out of my chest and I vomited twice. Yuck. I was worried I would never have this for accountability, but whoa was I wrong! Never. EVER. Again.

Sooooooo. I did get an answer to my salad, bread, and fruit issue . My Surgeon, who is awesome and i totally respect gave me this concise

and simple response to my query " Stop it ".... Needless to say he has a dry sense of humor .

he explained that its just the normal noises of the body adjusting to the new plumbing. I need to wait several weeks and try introducing it into the rotation again. Apparently every one has there own issues but they all work back into your diet eventually.

Oh, and im officially down 103 Lbs ... this is a very good day!

I'm exactly where you are. 9 weeks and 38 down. My clothes are loose but not enough to buy yet. I'm afraid of feeling crushed when I haven't dropped in sizes much.
