Take measurements. i take them once a month: breast, chest (just under the boobs), waist, hips, both thighs, both calves, both upper arms, neck. Several times in months I lost less, I lost more inches and vice versa. Its weird, but it helps to know I'm still on the right track.

Its hard to believe that this kind of surgery has been around this long already. Yes I had this done 45 years ago in Traverse City at Munson Hospital. Back then it was an open surgery they staple the stomach and create a small pouch then it is bypassed to the jejunum. While they were doing this surgery back then all the organs were removed and cleaned out. You stayed in the hospital for 2 weeks or so, much different then how it is done now adays. I have maintained the weight loss over the years, however, there was a few years when I had put on up to 40 pounds and just started slowly getting it back off once I realized what I was doing.

Good Job so far and good luck on your surgery.

I agree that you probably have lost inches. Do your clothes fit a little different?? The first place I actually noticed loss was in my face when I had sleeve surgery almost 3 years ago now. Allie in SC Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app

You can be losing inches and not weight.

Agreed! I hope you find your answer!

They eat so much junk food it actually just makes me hungry

Before you buy one, see if there is a place you can rent one and try it out first. We have a place near where I am and it’s $16 a day. Not bad if you get there at 10 when they open and turn it in right before they close at 6- we ride to downtown and back- 7 miles one way.... mostly flat. Still need to lose weight before I can go again.

Have you tried actually eating more calories and shocking your body into weight loss again?

Agree with Fluffy - your sleeve is not going to like that salad at all, no matter how little the portion is.
