Thanks everyone, it really does help to hear from others that have been through or are going through the same things. It's a personality trait of mine to isolate myself from people and I forget how...

I had my sleeve done 1 year and 4 months ago. When we had to have meetings to discuss nutrition and the surgery in meetings before my surgery, we discussed how much people lose and how fast. My...
I was also having horrid acid reflux, I started taking zantac 75 (or generic version). That wasn't good enough so I started the 150- and that seems to work. It's gotten much better over time and I...
You just feel more full, to me. I try not to drink around eating time- my nutritionist said 30 minutes before or after a meal, but that's hard, sometimes you have to at least take a couple of sips of...
It was difficult for me too to be on the pre-op diet- my diet was three protein shakes and/or bars and one healthy meal. I cheated a lot and I didn't lose much weight and my doctor said my liver was...
I'm 7 months and have been losing very slowly- don't know exactly why but I just try to be positive about the weight I do lose and all the little good things that come out of this- like needing new...
I had the sleeve in July and I'm very pleased with my decision. The procedure and the recovery were really uncomplicated and I've been uncomfortable but never in pain. This guy at my doctor's had the...

I remember getting to eat my first food and I was eating some applesauce- I couldn't finish the container! I looked at my husband in disbelief- I was like- I can't finish this freaking thing of...
Helllllooooo, anybody?????? :)
So, I've recently had to go to the hospital with severe stomach pains and all kinds of other symptoms- my dad says it's just like he felt when he had gall stones- but the cat scan said I didn't have...
You're doing great! Don't compare yourself to others or you will be disappointed- I'm at 7 months and I've only lost 58 pounds so far- I have hypothyroidism too- but I just try to focus on the...
me too- I've been "stuck" a few times! we're all different- and it's going to come off eventually- but when it doesn't it's easy to tell yourself- jeez- surgery can't even make this body work...
Thanks! I'm so tired of getting my hair off of everything- and the handfuls I toss in the trash, :(
Yay! I know- I just got an outfit from Chico's!!! So fun!
Thanks for responses-yall are doing better than me, though! boohoo- just joking- I think my major issues with not losing as much is because of what I eat- I know I eat too much sugar- some days I...

I had my surgery july 28th- and I was wondering how others were doing with their health and weight loss based on time passing- could you post surgery date and weight loss and issues you may have- or...
I've stalled too lately. I will take the advice here and try to make sure I get the protein and fluids- I have gotten a little lazy and just been eating whatever, because I can- but you are...
I've lost 41 pounds, 34 since surgery day- and I had my surgery on July 28th, my doctor and nutritionist said I was doing really well and you're doing it faster than me. You aren't going to lose a...
Like your picture- in a field of pumpkins and now you're not one of them!!!! yay!!!!!
My first two weeks I had diarrhea and so I got down really fast- but when that stopped I gained and lost within pounds for over a week or two- it wasn't until I was nearly a month out that I started...
I lost about 20 pounds. It's different for different people. Be patient it will come off!
Yeah, I did that pre op diet too, except I could have one "normal" healthy meal a day- different doctors require different things. I don't regret having the surgery for a second. I've had other...
I love this question, I love clothes and shopping! I want to be small enough to buy Victoria Secret Bras, for sure. I like Banana Republic and Ann Taylor Loft and the Gap and Anthropologie (would...
