Hi I'm great...just over 2 weeks post op and 25 lb Down. Yeehaaa

I am soooooo jealous. You're 25lb down........I'm 4 weeks post op and have lost almost nothing, maybe just a couple of pound........ I must be doing something wrong.

 

[princess4d4]

hi tinker forgot who he said he was brain dead right now lol but still cant wait he said he will see me before hand to discuss the options even tough i am down for bypass

strawberry dont get down hearted while you may not be losing so many pounds you may be losing the inches and everyone loses at different rates also take into account you had a rocky start keep your chin up your doing fine

If you could see my weight loss on a graph it looks like I'm climbing down stairs. Long plateau then a step down, long plateau then a step down. I get so despondent when on the long plateau and keep asking myself, why did I have this done but the feeling is good when I step down! The steps are still far too small for me, 3lbs last one but at least they're happening and they will for you too. I know it's frustrating but we're on this roller coaster now and can't get off and just have to learn to live with it. Unfortunately we're all different. I'm not going to be a fast loser but before the op, I would have gained weight by now, quite a lot at the pace I was going. Really hope you have a loss soon x

 

[soohoo]

Good morning Marchies !

Can I ask you all about going back to work.

My sick note runs out next week and although I feel fine in my head, I'm not sure I'm ready body wise (if that makes sense). I'm not in any pain but my stomach is uncomfortable. I'm not eating very much (less than 200 cals a day). Will that be enough to support a full day in work?

Any advice or words of wisdom would be good.
