I don't take extra iron pills and just got the results back from my blood work ordered by my regular PCP and all was good. I go for my 6 month check up with my surgeon and he has ordered blood work...

Look up 3 week stall. It's infamous, unfortunately. It happens to most of us but keep doing what your doctor says and you'll get past it. Good luck! I'm 10 1/2 weeks and I have lost 42 pounds total!

Hey neighbor! I live in cullman alabama and I had surgery on 1/21/15 so I'm a little over 2 months out. I have lost a total of 39 pounds and everything has gone great! I was nervous prior to my...

I'm 2 months post op and I've heard the less you have to lose, the slower. My highest weight was 254 and I'm down to 217. Someone else posted a starting weight of around 300 and she had lost about 50...

My experience is about the same. I'm 2 months post op, lost 37 pounds and had a very non eventful surgery! (The best kind!) the surgery does tend to remove those cravings for a little while! While I...

Awesome transformation!! Congrats and keep it up!!

How many grams of protein? Does it contain caffeine?

My surgery was 6 weeks ago (on Wednesday) and I've only lost 16 pounds since my surgery date..... My 3 week stall won't go away. I did lose one pound today so I keep hoping with every pound that the...

Praying for you..... So sorry for your loss.

My pre op instructions were full liquids for 2 days prior to surgery and clear liquids for 24 hours prior to surgery. That was it, well, and the prep drink the night before. My surgery was 1/21 and I...

I went on a 4 day vacation (pre planned) on day 10 after my surgery. I took protein drinks with me and almost every restaurant we went to had some type of soup. Or baked potato would be an option for...

Only every person who has been sleeved! If you look it up in the search p, you will see many posts about it. I am 4 weeks post op, and I went 8 days straight without losing a single pound. It was...

I agree GoPakGo. I had surgery 18 days ago and rarely have I felt real stomach hunger pains. I am beginning to experience head hunger this weekend. I am returning to work Monday, so I hope that will...

Wow! Amazing! In just a year, that's crazy! Congrats! You look amazing..... I'm sure you feel great also!

My name is so odd and difficult, many years ago on chat, I adopted the name DARRLA and it's just always stuck for my online chat accounts. Once I ran into someone in person, at work, who knew me...

Welcome! Glad it was uneventful!! Sounds about like my experience. I'm almost 3 weeks post op and doing great! I couldn't stay off the scales though and have lost about 10 pounds since day of...

I had surgery on 1/21 and I've lost a total of 25 pounds (10 pounds since surgery) so I'd say that's about the same. I have read a lot about the dreaded three week stall. I'm just doing what my...

Yay! Welcome to the sleeved side! It gets better day by day! You got this!!

Lol Ann! My surgery was 1/21 and the last time I weighed on day 9 I had lost 8 pounds from day of surgery. I'm day 12 now and haven't weighed again, but I don't feel any different. Just be patient....

My surgery was on 1/21 and I was doing really good after about a week. I really improved greatly each day after I got home from the hospital. I am actually on vacation in Nashville as I write this...

I'm sorry! Maybe drink extra orange juice or take some vitamin C? Use a vaporizer or maybe some Vicks rub? Not sure how to make it go away faster.

My surgery is Wednesday and my husband has a...

Awesome!! That's quite an accomplishment!! Congrats!

My surgery is on 1/21.....'I'd like to keep in touch and we'll be on about the same schedule! I live in central Alabama. I'll try to add you to my friend list so we can keep in touch. I'm sorta new...

Congrats for making the best decision of your life! It gets better (they say)! My surgery is next week. I'm so ready and so nervous! Good luck! Sip sip sip!! You got this!!

Congratulations! Glad everything went well! Keep on sipping! It only gets better from here! My surgery is 1/21..... Nine more days!! I'm excited but quite nervous! Congrats!
