May i ask how everyone is doing so far? Trying to see where everyone else is as far as their weight, food intake and exercise. i am finding it increasingly hard to find the time to exercise..what with 4 kids and going to school myself, part time. Seems like i never have time for just me to get out there and exercise. I am supposed to be taking in no more than 800 calories a day, minimum of 60 grams protein(my dr doesnt like our protein coming from shakes), our minimum of 64 ounces of water. Most days i have trouble in my busy schedule so i try to get some shakes in. I also take a multi vitamin and a 2 calcium chewables, the Viactiv, Wal Mart brand. My start weight was 371, 341 at surgery..now i am about 218. i know i have more to lose and i have to get myself going. Any one want to share where they are now as far as this stuff goes and maybe any advice to get myself going again? Thank you in advance everyone!

Read my profile. I think thats what I may be dealing with right now. I was in horrible pain last month, but tests showed an irritation and kink in my small intestines. After being released from the hospital after several days of being NPO, I still continued to have a little discomfort and difficulty eating. Now tonight, the pain is all back. I am absolutely miserable. The pain, starts above my stomach, where my largest lap incision is, then becomes horrible, raidiating to my back. So now I feel that not only is somthing inside of me going to explode, but like my back muscles are about to rip as well. The pain, I can only describe, feels like a gall bladder attack, though on the other side of my body....upper left quadrant. I had my gall bladder removed 2 1/2 years ago, so I know it isnt that. I am getting desperate for some relief. I don't know what to do other then go back to the hospital. (Just not my local one, they suck) I am 1 year out as of December 23rd. Height 5'7" Starting weight 262 lbs. Final Goal 150 lbs. Current weight 137 lbs. I keep losing because I have been having problems eating for a month now. Do any of you think this is possible a hernia?
