Another Healthy Anniversary for you...WOW!! Congratulations! Please let us know how you are doing. Being less than a year out, I am scared to death I will revert back. I love how my body has changed and hope this continues. My sister also had to have her child bearing years cut short at a young age. I hope you and your husband are doing well. All the best to you, HUGS

Now I am at 14 weeks post op and still hanging in there. I am approx 60 pounds down. My energy level is still low but my biggest complaint is hair loss. If it doesn't stop I will be bald soon. Good thing it is long, kind of a camoflage. I hope everyone who shared my surgery date is doing well also.

Well haere I am again! 2 months post op and feeling much, much better! I want to thank everyone who offered kind words of comfort. I hope to be going back to work this week. I still am not eating very much but my pain level is very low, hardly any pain at all. My nausea is also at a minimum. Hope all of you who share the same surgery date are also doing well. Happy New Year to you all!

Rosemary, it sounds like you need to have a visit with your surgeon to discuss why you are feeling so poorly. In the meantime when you are vomiting a lot its a good idea to go back to fluids only for a couple of days to get your tummy back in shape. Stick to plenty of water, clear broths and so forth until you can get into the doctor. Best wishes and lots of hugs.

I think I really need help!!! I was starting to feel somewhat okay and then bam, I am soooo weak and sick again! I vomit after everything I eat and sometimes drink. I am barely getting my fluids in. My arms and legs constantly cramped and my stomach in soooo much pain from vomiting. I woke up this morning and my eyes even hurt to open them. Could I be dehydrated? I thought maybe I caught a viral bug, but I am starting to get a little worried. I have no desire to eat, I think because my body and mind know what happens afterward. I have absolutely no idea what I should try to eat. I will attempt to try some melon for dinner. If anyone has any suggestions please help!!!!!!!!!!

Hey everyone! Hope everything is okay. I'm still taking it very slow. I ran into some complications, still in alot of pain. I am having trouble keeping food and sometimes liquid down. I had a GI series done and no problem found, go figure! I have absolutely no appetite. I can't get the protein in and I am lucky if I consume 12 oz of fluids daily. If anyone has any suggestions I am all ears!

I am feeling better everyday but still suffering something awfull with the stomach spasms. They too shall pass he says but not for a couple of months. Hope everyone is okay will update again soon!

Hi Rosemary, I glad you're feeling okay.. To bad about the staples though. Thanks for your well wishes. Hope all goes well.. Carla

Hello all, Rosemary here, I am coming along okay! I still have alot of pain but I think that has more to do with the other surgery (hernia & gallbladder) than the WLS. I go to the Doctor on Mon 11/26 to have some of the staples removed. I can hardly wait. I will post again after my first weigh in. All my thoughts go to my fellow surgery date buddies. Hope you guys are doing well also! Talk to you soon!
