Happy Birthday!

hi i am just wondering how your surgery went with dr quinones,and how much weight your down.i havent had my yet still researching

This is normal, you probably lost all your water weight and your body is now getting to a point it will start losing the fat. I hit my first stall one month out and it lasted about the same maybe a few days shorter. You will start back losing again. I also noticed I was hitting my stalls YES STALLS, whenever I have a period I actually gain a few pounds then after my period is over I lose that and some. This time I lost the few pounds but I am stalled at my original 242. Don't let this process frustrate you, it is not you at all. You have to remember your body is still going through a lot of changes. I snack too, for some reason it is like I prefer 5 meals a day than 3. Kiki let me tell you something I DON'T EXCERCISE FOLLOW ANYONES'S DIET ETC. I been following one users progress because we got sleeved around the same time she will has lost 8lbs more than me but before I hit this stall it was only 1lb. After my stall is over I usually catch back up to her and she is just 1lb ahead of me. So don't let these stalls get to you. I was thinking is my sleeve healed too but I KNOW YOURS ISN'T, HAHA. But I look at others and their weight loss that is why I won't stress about this until I am 6-9 months out and still not losing. It is normal to lose over 20+ the first month and 10 on average each month after. This is what is happening to me.

Hi! I noticed you went and got the sleeve with the surgeon I am choosing on the 25th but for Gastric Bypass..How are you doing. How was the Dr and your experience?

Hey there, I know it has been a few days since your last post about being a little discouraged due to you haven't lost any weight yet. I was wondering if the weight loss has started for you yet? I can tell you when you do start losing you will lose like crazy you may hit a two week stall but it is okay trust after that stall you start losing again and I am shocked how much I lost, and I feel like I just been eating. Weird. Well stay positive I am sure you will start your weight loss really soon. Take Care I am always here.

Thanks for the well wishes. First week has been different because I spent so much of it in the hospital. I am home and doing well. hopefully removing my drain tomorrow and hen sutures Looking forward to weight loss as I am still getting rid of fluid weight from the surgery and stay. Outlook is great

How was your first week?

Are you home yet? And how are you feeling? Hope you are ok!!!

Since you were sleeved on a Wednesday when did you end up going home with the complications that you had? I see Dr. Quinones on October 25th for surgery. I was planning on flying home on the 28th late. my surgery is scheduled for a Thursday. I am really nervous. I am going to have to go alone. I am also going to have to return to work on the Monday after the surgery. How are you feeling?

How are you. Can't wait to hear your story
