I went through the same thing right after surgery for a couple of months. It has gotten much better now but boy was it problematic at first lol! It should pass after your new tummy gets the hang of...

I suggest asking your doctor about the belly button pain. I think its normal to have the stall early on. You will start back losing weight soon. Just keep doing as your doctor says and the weight...

Yay! Just think, by days end tomorrow you will be on the sleeved side. I'm sure all will go even better than you can imagine. Swift healing and let us know how you are!

This upsets me alot. I'm originally from Mississippi and seeing as how its the fattest state in the US and the US is the fattest nation (so actually MS is possibly the fattest place on earth) you'd...

I've been vegan and vegetarian at different times in my life- had tofu rice dish today. The biggest issue for me was getting in the protein. I mean there are tons of non-meat ways to get it in but...

Welcome to the forum fellow Jeruselum Hospital patient! This is the best place I've found to gain information and support and is especially useful for those of us who were sleeved in Mexico and don't...

Seems like you're doing just fine. I don't think I was getting even that much. I could barely get much more than clear fluids in at that point.

Way to go! Great job!

So I was busting my butt to be all low carb and hit a stall yet again for about two and a half weeks. So I got frustrated and ate something high carb and fattening. Would you beleive that once I did...

I personally felt very safe and we walked around on a Saturday night and was in the area with many clubs and a casino. Never felt threatened or any problems at all especially since I don't speak the...

Welcome to the site! Its a great place to learn and receive support!

WOW!!! Totally amazing! You must be so proud!

I would also suggest looking to low carb eating. It along with exercise is the only thing that works consistently for me.

Way to go! So Fantastic!!

I'm sorry to hear you are feeling bad. I felt like "Oh my God what have I done!?" for the first 24 hours but after that no pain. Actually some of the others in my surgery group wanted stronger pain...

I flew right after my surgery in Mexico (all the way back to Florida) and I have flown several times in the last 4 months since having surgery. I've never had one problem. I was never told it would...

Remember that everyone's journey is different and his DNA may mean that his weight loss meant extra skin where as someone esle's doesn't. Its difficult to judge your journey by someone else's where...

Even if you don't meet anyone you will grow close with others you meet on the day of your surgery. Its like a little Almanza club and once you all go through the experience together you make friends...

That is a wonderful NSV! Yay you!

Doesn't sound normal at all...I'm with the two above. Contact your doctor immediately!

I follow a low carb diet. I have found that if I stray from it, I go through stalls. I would love to be one of the ones that could still lose and eat what they want (of course in smaller portions)...

I had a stall two weeks post opp that lasted for about 3 weeks. It was depressing but I have found that if I stick to low carb I lose weight consistently. Also remember your body needs time to catch...

You ARE doing this! And you're doing it quite successfully I might add. You deserve it honey and keep up the great work...next stop...goal. (o:

Not only would mine growl but I would break out into a sweat as my body tried to digest things. That lasted no more than 8 weeks.

Okay soooo the sleeve effects my vision?! My God, this makes so much sense. I have always had wonderful vision. Since getting the sleeve I've started to have issues with seeing things that I normally...
