I was sleeved aug 2...was 257 day of surgery. Today was 207.5...so 50 pounds...I'm 5'9... I wasn't losing at all until in increased my calories. I usually get in around 900 now and its coming off great!

August 2, 2011... Down 49.5 since surgery 72 since my initial appt.

I'm down to 214. Started 276. 257 surgery day. So down 43 since surgery. Feeling good. Still not able to eat more than 800 cals a day tho, and that's on a really good day. Usually around 600

I was sleeved aug 2. I'm down 31 since surgery. Doing well with eating but still struggling to get enough protein in.

I'm wondering too... I'm on like day 10 of my first stall....not liking it one bit....

I have a really hard time with eggs. My dr has me taking my ppi 2 times a day...so don't think extra would hurt... Or maybe tums????

Just to clarify...I called advice nurse sat

I have kaiser...so I called the advice nurse and she was sooooo not helpful. Tried telling me it was a neck injury from when I was rearended 4 months ago and that I should take motrin. I called my surgeon first thing this morn and he called back right away and sent me for labs. He said he thinks it's low Calcium. Should hear from him tommorrow.

Is she heavy too??

Good to know...I'm hoping talk to my dr today...,

4 times a week?

Yes! Mine too!!!! Mostly my torso...wakes me up at night itching!!!

I am taking b12...the little dissolving ones 3 times a day...

I did....supp to call me tomm

I googled and found that a b12 defeciency can cause it....hmmm

Hey guys..,,my feet and hands are tingling and numb. My hands keep curling up...had this happened to anyone??? I'm a little freaked out. Melanie-sleeved aug 2

I was sleeved aug 2...down 22 lbs...but too haven't lost in few days. I'm eating soft foods now and do far everything is going down well. Still can't tolerate shakes so not getting as much protein as I wish I could...

Hope it went well!!! I was sleeved there 2 wks ago by dr boghossian. First few days were rough but it gets easier. I'm down 22 lbs already be sure to update when u can Melanie

I'm failing miserably too. I could not get the protein shakes in...my dr said aim for 20 this first few weeks...so I think u are doing good.

Thanks guys! I'll take what I can LOL!!!

I'm not complaining by any means...but am a little concerned. I was sleeved 9 days ago...surgery day I was 252...this morning I was 234...that's 18 lbs already. Should I be concerned??? Melanie

I mean congrats!!!!! Lol

Contests!!!!

Yea since surgery...I'm very surprised! I cannot wait to eat something tho. Like an egg or some cheese lol

Yay a buddy! Lol. My dr says only shakes and zero calorie drinks for 2 weeks. Having a REALLY hard time getting shakes down. I got some clear protein I'm adding to my vitamin waters and that's better. I'm down 15 so far
