I could go on and on lol can you tell I live food I'm on my fitness pall davell23 although I'm getting a little bored with it

Hi all Just want to chime in. Got my plication oct 19 and my sw was 214 . It was a tough couple of weeks with the hunger pains they did feel like contraptions lol I also didn't sleep from them. I also had times in those weeks I said what did I do!! While I was eating mushy food and everyon else wasn't . Than it all passed when I could eat real food and was amazed at how little it took to get satisfied I did have to eat every two hours or so cuz the hunger pains but now I don't have to eat so frequently! I love the healthy foods I eat and I try to be creative with cooking cuz I love cooking. I can honestly say I have not eatin Pasta or sweets since oct nor craved it !! I finally hit 50 lbs last week and it is so motivating!!! Nothing taste better than this feels. Have 20 more to go and loving every day of my journey!!! I am more happy and have more energy than I have in years!! This was definatly the best desion I ever made, you too will also be here soon I promise!!! Any help I can be just ask!!!! Ps my husband started dieting on the same day as me and sw was 290 and he is down to 237 all on his own this is also helping

Hi bos123 Going through same exact thing... Going to start it on Monday I will update you on Saturday

I am also in a stall I lost 40 pounds in the first 12 weeks and nothing for 3 weeks I'm logging everything I eat stay within my allowance on sodium sugar carbs and been eating almost all of my calories in protine keeping the calories at mostly 800-900 I just came across the five day pouch test diet going to start this on Monday let u guys know if it works.....has anyone out there done this?

I was exhausted to the extream for about a month....it definatly gets better I'm eight weeks out and feel fantastic!!!! Lost thirty lbs so far and am loving the restriction have not had the overrating feeling yet (don't want to) and do not feel deprived at all.....the best desion I ever made. My husband is also dieting with me and we are neck and neck he also is down thirty it is helping me a lot and best part no one suspects a thing

Wow that is so great!!!! I am so happy for you nothing can feel better than that congrats!!!!

Hi anjapep23 It is also nice talking to you there is not many of us it seem. Sorry to hear about your surgeon that stinks it seem there are more and more doctors in the us are doing this which is nice to see

Hi bekrudz I got my plication on oct 19, I was happy to read your post I love hearing when people are feeling great with no complications. If I may ask when was your surgury?

My advise stop looking!!!! I did the same thing as you and got real nervous even did it right after surgury and freaked out my husband and he started looking wow I wish I never wasted my engery and nerves lol I love how I feel no complications at all Down 21lbs and 18 inches and I hope everything is fine I try to think less about it and say I know how I feel and if I don't feel right I will go to a hospital withy records and they will have to fix me we have the best hospitals here and I feel confidant that I will not be the one that has a problem dr corvalas told me complications happen in the first 24 hours if they are going to I think there is always a worry with any surgury but also think I would not have these feelings if I had it here any help I can be let me know!

It really is.....where did you have yours done i had it at hospital Angeles by dr corvalas. I am happy with everything so far but would have like a name of a local doctor who knows about this procedure for the just in case. He did say he would give me a name I emailed the nutrishonist several times but no reply I'm going to try and call there on Monday I made the mistake of reading all the past post and there were 2 people that had complications 5 months out and felt great it is my only concern other than that I could live happily ever after

I'm 4 weeks post op today down 21 lbs and feel great!!

Thank so much for the info I'm going to add new things a little at a time (no vomit thank god) I'm following the diet they gave me for three weeks:) so far I feel great!! Thanks for the info on the doctors I really don't think there is a need for a follow up it was good to hear your two years out and no problems

One of my favorites.....

Hi to be thin Thanks!!!! Stared at 214 and my goal weight is 140. Thank you again for your support and answering my questions I really helps

Hi to be thin I wondering how long I have to crush pills I want to start taking Biotin but not sure when it is safe also they gave me 30 nexium I have been taking one a day but have no heartburn or reflux you think it is just for that or something to do with stomac acid thanks

I feel great just tired still not the same energy level yet....but stared protine and vitamins today so hoping for energy weird by my arms and legs get tired really fast. Also so happy I had it done I know I was scared but made the right desion the lb was not for me too many problems and also with the sleeve. I also know I made the right desion to not tell anyone but my husband almost told my kids when I came home but soo Glad i didn't I don't want them to worry and they just think I'm on yet another new diet lol I think too many people would have to much to say cuz of Mexico but no one knows all the time and resurch I did...even I think if I heard this from someone before I knew what Iearned I would think they were crazy anything I can help you with let me know btw my husband lost 7 lbs and is motivated by me:)
