That is amazing.  Keep up the good work. 

Hello,  I'm a Hoosier also however not where you are going or with same dr.  but wanted to say "Hi" to a fellow Hoosier.

My life is amazing and I try not to take things for granted.  The little things are nothing compaired to losing a love one.
Hugs to the member who is facing this.

I am also 3 months out and down 55 lbs.  Seeing your profile pic reminds me we need to change our pics. 

Good luck and keep us posted.  Hope you get lots of rest today and slept well tonight. 

 I went home the next day

Of course the running can help.  Lord knows it can't hurt.  You are doing amazing well in just 3 weeks.  Its hard because we watch it fall so quickly in the begining and then drag on and sometimes stop.  I'm 12 weeks out and I am now I am losing about 2 lbs per week.  Yes I wish I could lose more but I'm happy just not gaining it. Take a deep breath and realize you are losing.  Keep up the good work. 

I have been reading that it is temporary.  I just started loosing some this morning in the shower so I am going to cut down on my hair washing to everyother day.  I knew it was coming I was just wishing that it would pass me up.

Have you tried Yoga?  I do it and it is nice because it can be modified to any level and I feel sore and worked out when I leave.  You seem to still be pushing forward and that is great. 

Side effects of the meds are not in your favor but reducing the amount of pain is.  You should meet with your doctor and let him know what is going on.  He should have some advice and since he specializes in the surgery he knows what your body absorbs and does well with.  You can not be the only patient he has ever had that has gained weight due to meds.   Good luck and keep us posted.

You might be like most of us when after surgery you try and drink soda and feel the pain.  Giving that up or cutting back right now is probably a good idea.  As for everything else.  I have to have my Splenda I put it in my greek yogurt otherwise I can't stand the taste.  I have tried to limited my caffeine and I think I have done wonderful with that.  I hope to not ever need it like before surgery.  Since loosing so much weight I have more energy which I hope compensates for the lack of caffeine.  If anyone tries to even touch my chocolate they will probably loose an arm.  So I do have chocolate.  That craving never went away and I enjoy a mini hershey 3x per week.  Yes it isn't much but it is enough to make me happy.  Hang in there and make the dietician happy. 

 Im 2 months out and trying to hang on to my pants also.  I'd hate to buy clothes and then need new ones a month later.  I now have 2 pairs of pants that fit.  

That is one classy person who sent you that.  I bet it took them hours with dictionaries trying to find the right words and spell them.  You knew by sharing your WLS you were going to get some crap from someone.  We all have haters and hypocrates in our lives.  With that one persons reply how many happy ones did you get?  I'll be a supporter of your surgery.
