My surgery was on 12/13/16. I first month I lost 29 pounds. Then I stalled for 3 weeks! It was so frustrating. Finally my stall broke today with a 4 pound loss. Don't give up, just keep going. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

OMG OMG OMG I AM PSYCH CLEARED!! CLEARANCE SENT TO MY SURGEON ON MONDAY!! I'M A NORMAL CRAZY PERSON!! I was so worried!! About how long did it take you to get a surgery date after psych clearance? I have united healthcare insurance. What do I need to start doing to prepare more for surgery? Stock up on anything?

I don't know about the hunger hormone but I know that I did the bypass and I never know if I'm hungry or not. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using the BariatricPal App

May 16 here... 3 1/2 months feels so far away but I know it will come fast

IM NOT IN SPRING BUT IN AUGUST 2017

I have heard of this on this, Several times, on BP. And if I remember correctly, it was around the 2 year mark. Personally, I have not experienced it. Maybe get hold of your nutrionist from your bariatric team for suggestions. I specifically remember at least one person coming back and mentioning the issue had resolved, but can't recall how. On another note, it's great you have maintained your weight, relatively well. I never got down to my goal weight and have regained about 11 pounds! It's a real struggle to get it off.

You have to make a permanent change to your mindset or you will regain. I am focused on my health period. Everything I think and do supports that. I changed my mind, the sleeve was a tool. I am 2.5 years out and down 118 lbs. permanently. My hobbies are cooking healthy foods and being active in dozens of ways. I don't have any unhealthy habits as I have determined to eliminate each one step by step. I got honest with myself about what made me fat to begin with and fierce about changing mindset. I do not self indulge on food, alcohol or negativity. I am a different person. Tackling the mental/emotional is the real key to success but without the sleeve as my tool I would have lost hope and incentive. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App
