To be honest I stopped tracking a long time ago because of the stalls. It's been 1-year since my surgery and the stalls have gotten longer - sometimes it's a month that I haven't lost only 2-3...

Well, I know I haven't posted on here in a long time but I just wanted to stop and show a little encouragement to everyone who is thinking of having the sleeve or needing some motivation.

Today...

That is awesome...congratulations. I know I haven't lost the weight you have yet but I can tell a huge difference as well. I realized that I could now feel and see my bones in my shoulders and my...

This is one of the hardest things that we have done or will ever do. I had a lot of problems with throwing up early on as well because I was eating too fast and eating the wrong things. Remember we...

It seems like forever since I have been on here and I apologize for that. I know I relied a lot of this site talking and reading about everyone else’s experiences before surgery. I had the surgery...

Congratulations. This is fantastic news! Keep up the good work.

Good luck everyone! This has been the best decision I have made. It gets better each day. I'm 2 months out and feel fantastic. Please know you are here for support and encouragement. Welcome to the...

Congratulations and welcome to the family!

I first off want to apologize for not being on this forum as much and lending support to my fellow sleevers. It was 8 weeks ago that I had the surgery and I cannot tell you enough what a blessing...

I found that water is still hard for me to get down and I am almost 2 months out from surgery. What I have found is easier is Powerade Zero. My nutrionist recommended that because it helps put the...

Great job. Keep up the good work!

I came home with liquid pain meds but only used them twice and that was for an ear infection that I developed. The darn things were nasty to try to swallow so I'm glad I really didn't need them.

Beautiful lady! Keep up the fantastic work!

I know I went early. I think I did a week of liquids, and week of puree, and then basically what I could tolerate. Trust me, your sleeve will tell you if you are eating something that you shouldn't....

It does get better although I know it is hard to believe. Keep your chin up. You have a lot of support on this forum.

I had the glue stuff that you mentioned to. My surgeon said that he used dissovable stitches on the outside and the glue on the outside. It worked well. I am just over 4 weeks out and the scars are...

I've found the best ones that I can tolerate are the EAS Carb Control ones. My favorite flavors are vanilla and strawberry. They are about $5 for 4 of them but to me it's worth it because I've had so...

You had your surgery a week before I did and I find that when I'm stressed I want to turn to food. My issue was when I would eat something, like a chesse stick or some other protein I would eat it...

I will say that similar thing happened to me the other day. You gotta love my 10 year old that was with me in the supermarket. Mind you that I am just over 4 weeks out so my grocery cart was full of...

I know it has been a while since I’ve been on the forum but I wanted to share an update with everyone. Monday (2/27) will be 4 weeks since I had my surgery. So far I am down 30 pounds and have been...

I have been doing great. Thanks for asking. My biggest challenge has been slowing down my eating and taking smaller bites. I've engulfed my food for so long so that has been a difficult transition...

Easy??? Easy??? I love when someone tells me this is easy. Do they have to remember to drink enough? Do they have to remember to eat because they are not hungry? Do they have to make sure that they...

I found a supplement that you can add to it. It called PB2 and it tastes like chocolate peanut butter. I believe it is in most natural food stores for about $6.00. I had it last night and it makes a...

You are doing fine. Keep your head up. I was one of the ones that dropped a ton initially but 12 days out and I have only lost about .3 pounds over 3 days. It will come!

Keep the faith. You will do just fine and have a ton of support here.
