46yr mom of two teen boys ready to be the best ME - Edmonds, WA

I decided after 18 years of being overweight and yo-yo dieting to have sleeve surgery. I have two friends that have had it and been successful. The only thing I was nervous about was being on liquid for so long...would I be in a fetal position crying for food? Surgery day came and went along with a hernia repair. I did not experience any incision pain until about week 2 then my largest incision starting burning, which I was told was part of the healing process. I did experience severe shoulder pain which was from my hernia repair and being in bed/sitting so much. I had to see the doctor a few days early as I was really weak and not doing well with the shoulder pain. Was told I needed to drink more, like it or not. Finally by the weekend (my surgery was on a Monday) I was feeling a bit better. It took me over 2 weeks to get some energy back and start getting around and back to my part time job. Still struggle with getting the volume of liquid in they want but day by day it gets better and better. Constipation has set in, caused my large incision to hurt again, need to be on myrolax now...lesson learned!
I began this journey at 220 5'6" day of surgery I was 213 today I am 192 and have been for about two weeks so I am very discouraged with being stalled in my weight loss. Did I do all this for 20 pounds?

Had the sleeve surgery almost a month ago, had my ups and downs for sure! I am approaching week 4 and for the last two weeks I have stayed the same weight...help I am frustrated and thinking maybe this was a mistake...not that I can go back but only loosing 20 lbs was not my goal...

I eat every 2 hrs a snack or a meal, I do feel hungry

is anyone experiencing these same issues?

Dr Billing office and staff are wonderful and so helpful and supportive if you are considering this surgery this is the place to go!
