For the first time I am scared S##T from having this surgery. Dying my roots tonight I noticed the top front of my head is looking pretty thin. WTF is all I could say!!! There aren't too many things I am vain about - my hair is one of them. Not a happy

Had my 3 month post-op visit with my surgeon yesterday. Was told my 3 week stall and excessive fatigue is probably due to not getting enough protein or water. Anyone else have this trouble in the beginning? I am only getting about 60 grams of protein a

So.....

I went dress shopping yesterday for my planned elopement next Sunday. What was pleasantly surprising is I was able to buy a dress in a normal clothing section!!! I was teetering between a size 22-24 only 3 months ago (honestly, it proba

Another week goes by and I still haven't lost a pound. Can you say frustrated!!!  I know I keep saying to myself it's only temporary but it's

So I guess the weight loss stall is a repetitive thing cause I am 10 1/2 weeks out and haven't lost in a week. In fact, I bounce between gaining and losing the same 2 lbs. I'm not upset about it cause I know I'm not going to constantly lose, it just ge

It's kind of a bummer. I wanna share my weight loss with my friends on Facebook but I won't because I know of the backlash I'd get from some. I feel so positive and happy about it

Good morning everyone!

So I just wanted to share with the people that are contemplating getting weight loss surgery. DO IT! It just occured to me this morning that I am 9 weeks post op and down almost 40 lbs!! Never in my life have I been able

Two months as of today since my surgery. Noticed the date a little bit ago and thought to myself "wow, look how far I've come in such a short time." I'm off my BP meds, only take my Gerd medi

So far I have only found one protein bar that I absolutely LOVE! Quest Vanilla Almond Crunch...OH MY, do I love these little bars. It may take me 2 days to eat one but I feel like I am eating raw cookie dough lol. I used to love Clif Bar's white chocol

I just can't believe that I am down 34 lbs already and it's just shy of 2 months. I haven't weighed this much since right after I had my son in 2000. It feels great to know that in a few short months I have gotten to this point. I have stressed about m

Don't know why but I had a craving for buffalo wings so I searched Pinterest to find something to make with ground chicken. I took ground chicken, buffalo sauce, some breadcrumbs, and an egg. I mixed them all together to make meatballs and baked them i

You'd think after eating only 400-600 calories a day I would be hungry but nope, I'm not. I have been tracking everything I eat on the MyFitnessPal app and it seems like such a struggle to get past 600 calories a day. There hasn't been a day yet either

3 1/2 weeks post op and I haven't lost a pound since last week. In fact, gained one...ugh.  I've read over and over it's normal but man does this suck. I should just b

I seem to be getting so tired around 1 every day. I have been taking Vitamin B 12 and a multivitamin that has vitamin B since my surgery. My question is, does anyone take it more than one dose a day? I don't know if that would help but I figured it was

I just wanted to say happy Monday to all! I am 2 weeks post op, down 23 lbs so far and FEELING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!! 


CMR1075 posted a discussion topic 8 years, 3 months ago

So, I am seriously confused (it doesn't take much lol). I had a post op appointment today and I am not quite 2 weeks out yet. Well, the physicians assistant is who I saw today and she told me that she wanted me to start eating food. EATING. FOOD. I ask
