I had VSG - Aug 11th, 2011 (7.5 mths ago) I've lost - 88 lbs Starting weight: 274 lbs Height: 5'4" Goal weight: 120ish

im having the exact same problem! I can't fit anything and don't want to waste money on new ones when in about 2-3 wks they will be to big!

i listen to my pandora workout station while boxing and dancing around for thirty minutes, feels like a pretty good workout to me.

omg i thought this was just in my mind! i feel the same way about it all, i can eat more and i want to eat more, sweets (my vice has always been ice cream).

i'm glad i did a search before i posted because i was going to post a thread on the same thing. sometimes lately i don't even feel sleeved anymore. i mean of course i get reminded each time i eat but i'm 5mths out now and can pretty much eat very little of anything (besides bread&milk). i can eat about a cup of food very slowly over about 20-30 minutes comfortably. i learned early out not to eat to the full point because the more i eat the longer i have to wait to drink and i get thirsty very quickly after eating. and my weightloss has pretty much been stalled for the enitre month of january! this is my first stall since surgery and it's driving me nuts! during the holidays i drank about 5 sodas total! i did manage to stay away from the cakes and pies though. it took me a whole week to fight the feeling and let the cravings go away. then the second week of jan i was fighting cravings for sweets! finally over that now but i feel like a lot of my old appetite has come back and i'm getting really scared. i went to my 5mth last week and doc says i'm doing good and have actually lost more than expected. told me i need to get back to the basics and focus on my Proteins again and give the shakes a try but my lactose intolerence is not going to allow that just yet. i can handle ground beef, steak and chicken just fine but they all take so much focus to eat and get down properly it's a bit discouraging. i have to concentrate of chewing them pretty much to mush so they will not hurt going down plus even jus a lil of each puts me in over full mode and i have to wait at least on full hour before i can even take a lil sip of any kind of liquid. i'm just getting nervous because i enjoyed my super tight restriction and didn't want it to go away!

hi ladies! can i join in here? i'm currently in a stall that has lasted all of jan! this is my first one since surgery and it is killing me! my scale is stuck at 200 and is not budging! i saw 199 for two days in row and i guess i got to excited cuz i haven't seen it since! i hope you ladies have a great week!

it's always nice to know your not alone. and also it makes me burp, esp if i let it go waaaay to long. have you experienced any burping with it?

i am at 4mths out and have the exact same problem. i take 2 acid reducers, a gas-x, and about 3-4 rolaids a day and some days are better than others but it's still there. i've been recently switching brands off ppi and acide reducers to see if that may help but it has yet make any real difference. it can get quite painfiul if i let it go on too long without putting some kind of food or liquid in there. and it's annoying as i don't know what. maybe some else can help us out.

i didn;t have one, i woke up in my room with my incision medically super glued together and the biggest one had a band-aid on it.

you go girl! you look great! (null)
