- Hi all,Its been a really long time since i've logged on. I had my surgery in 2009. And what I noticed is that in the last 1 1/2 years I gained back 38 lbs. Its due to the fact that when my pouch started feeling better. I ate. Nothing horrible mind...
- Ok. I'm in a bad place. My surgery was 11/23/2009. I'm 5 ft tall, and starting weight was 261. I lost 121 lbs. Over the last year, I have gained back 25 lbs. I have to stop. I often have trouble sleeping so I found myself eating or drinking wine...
- I am 4 months out and gained 5 lbs the last couple of days. I don't get it. I'll need to exercise more I guess and up the protein? I was losing fine a week ago and I even upped the pilates. I usually go up and down 1 or 2 lbs. But the past 4...
- I am noticing a lot of people at work complimenting me and its nice but then I feel a little bad. I don't know why. I tend to cover up a little bit more and then I get those looks from some 'still' heavy people. My sisters are heavy as well. And...
- I have been teetering around 200, 198 for a few days! But I got a consistent weight now for a couple of days I finally made it!! Woooohoooo!!! I haven't been here since 9th grade!!!!
- I often buy the greek style yogurts like Fage and Oikos. But I can't have the fruit or sugar yet. Any ideas of what I can flavor it with? I have been using crystal light but I usually need a lot of it and I don't like things with artificial colors. ...
- Advil is the only thing that works for me. I am almost 3 months post op. . . is it ok for me to take ibuprofen??
- I am about 8 weeks post op and I normally go for a 2-3 mile walk every other day. I used to walk every day but the arctic frost we got here a week or 2 ago I slowed down. Lately I walk and halfway through I feel like I am going to faint. I get...
- How have your periods been? I am assuming it is normal to skip/miss a period since we have been losing so much weight. But just wondering if the cycle ever goes back to regular? I have horrible cramps often but no cycle yet, I was due 11 days ago. ...
- I'm about 4 weeks post op. I started eating meats and soft pureed foods a couple weeks ago. I have not lost any weight since the initial weight I lost right after surgery. My nutritionist advised I'm probably not getting enough protein. I am now...
- I have always been able to drink milk. I started my pre-op diet 4 weeks ago which consisted of more milk than I am used to. Near the end of the diet, (2 1/2 weeks go) I got horrible pains and gas in my tummy so I assumed it was the lactose. I...
- Ok. . . so I hate to be a complainer because I feel like I have been complaining on here a lot. But I hate shakes now. They are overly sweet and too thick. I wish there was a better way for me to get my protein in at this time. I'm one week and a...
- Did anyone out there experience hunger pains like right after surgery? I had the Roux en Y and I noticed those feelings in the hospital, although they were not strong. Everyday it seems like I'm getting hungrier. Why is this happening? Its not in...
- I just had surgery Monday. And I'm feeling very good, but today something happened that was weird. I got hungry. I came home today. I had a 4 oz shake made with water only. I couldn't finish it. Then like 4 hours later I felt like I needed...
- I'm back. It felt great to take that shower when I got home. And those drains were pretty bad. I almost fainted at the site of them. Anyways I feel ok. I mean my spirits are ok I think. I'm just so happy to be home and my cats and my fiance are...
