thanks for sharing- and you look GREAT! i had dr. landerholm too; he's awesome!

mine has said "neutral" since the beginning... what gives?

yep, i agree- even crave different foods- donuts and pizza are no longer at the top of my list! yay!!

I wish you all the best and congratulate you on your decision. what we have is only a tool- but a tool that WORKS if you use it. btw, i love

thanks so much to both of you- so far my bp has been ok but i will continue to monitor it!

thanks so much!

hi! i'm 2 months out and usually eat between 700-900 calories a day. i aim for 70g protein and 64 oz fluids. i usually have to have 2 protein shakes to get all my grams in. i'm walking 3x a week and just added strength training in last week. i'm really frustrated- i only lost 5 lbs my second month ... don't know what i'm doing wrong, but as of yesterday, i decided to cut back on the carbs and we'll see if that helps. thanks to everyone for sharing their experiences- it helps alot!

hello! i take metoporol (sp?) for migraine prevention- i do not, and never have had high blood pressure. my exercise gal said that beta blockers keep your resting heartbeat lower and it's harder to bring your heart rate up with exercise. i'm frustrated- i'm exercising and doing all the right things but lost only 5 lbs. my second month! so do blood pressure meds slow weight loss? help!

i feel your pain- i only lost 5 lbs the 2nd month post op! i, too gained 4 lbs and lost it the next week. i am so frustrated!

i'm sure glad i read these posts this morning-at least i know i'm not alone... i was sleeved 7/20/11 and have lost about 33 lbs, but 28 of it was preop and the 1st month post op. i lost only 5 POUNDS my second month. i'm doing really well calorie wise and some days wondering if i eat too little. i'm very discouraged... i have over 60 pounds to go.

hi everyone! wasn't aware that this post was here and that there are so many july 20th sleevers out there! so i lost 11 lbs pre op(2 week diet) and have lost about 27 lbs total since 2 weeks prior to surgery. i'm a bit frustrated with my progress- haven't lost anything in over a week. but i've had almost no complications- outpatient surgery- didn't lose anything the first week post op due to the fluids they gave me- about 9 lbs worth! it's challenging to get in all the Protein i need without Protein drinks, so i'm thinking i'll go back to 2 a day and cut down on the carbs i'm eating too. a challenge to get all the Water, too- but i'm probably getting an average of 50 oz a day. lemonade crystal lite is the )$#@!! sending y'all good vibes and best wishes for fast but healthy weight loss!
