Whoa you've lost 64lbs in a month!?! I'm 5 months out and have only lost 62. I think you need to seek the advice of another Dr. Sounds to me like you have a leak....

Two weeks ago I had the right side of my thyroid removed. I had a nodule that was causing me to be hyperthyroid. Since the surgery I have gained 5 pounds!!! I am scared to death that the scale is going to continue its climb up. I'm watching my diet, protein first, lots of water....Has anyone else battled their thyroid? I am desperate for advice.

Yummy. Thanks for the idea!

Thanks:)

And I'm 90 from goal:(

August 26 for me. Only down 50 since surgery. And I'm stuck too....

My sleeve came to life August 26, 2011. Anyone else?

Feedyoureye what are your favorite protein sources as a vegetarian?

How many calories daily do you consume while you're doing the 5 day boot camp?

That I have stretched my sleeve. I am guilty of not always eating slowly and having that stuffed feeling come on quickly. I know its terrible. Lately it seems like I don't get full. Example;cheese. I used to feel completely full and satisfied with 1 individual 3/4 individually wrapped piece. Now I can eat two plus a few saltines with no problem. I am 20 weeks out. I have also had major thyroid problems. I was hyperactive thyroid. Seems like it would of helped me lose faster lol. I had the right half of my thyroid removed a week ago. Anyway, I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels they have stretched their sleeve. But do you think I have? Any suggestions? I have only lost 45 lbs since august 26, and I'm afraid of not losing anymore:(

Congrats!!!! When were you sleeved and how much did you lose?

I think you should see an endo for some blood work....

Everyone is doing do great! Congrats!!!xoxoxoxo

Hi all just checking to see how everyone is doing:). I'm down a total of 66 pounds. Slow loser but its coming off. Hope you all are well!

3.5-5.3 is normal. But since you are on the low end the dr. May want you on a low dose of potassium. And yes low magnesium as well as low calcium can result in this. So can hyperthyroidism and many other conditions. You need to speak with your Dr. About it asap. Best wishes!

Nope its not safe to do those things:(

You need your electrolytes checked. I had the same issue and my potassium was low as well as my thyroid being off. Call your Dr.

I've only lost 45 pounds:(. Looking for help for speeding things up. Any suggestions?

Holy moly you lost fast!!!! Congrats!!!! Have you had problems with your hair falling out?

I don't think that's normal.....

My favorite crunchies are dry roasted almonds or wasabi soy almonds:)

My sleeve loves ice cold drinks and hates being too full.....My sleeve loves California rolls and hates diet soda. My sleeve loves protein shakes and hates throwing up.....

I have PCOS. I was sleeved august 26th and have only lost 40 lbs. It's been extremely slow and it upsets me. I'm just praying that as I lose my hormones will normalize and I will pick up the weight loss speed....

Hello. I am looking for some support from other August sleevers. I was sleeved Aug. 26th. I am down 40 lbs since surgery and feeling like a failure. I see so many down so much more than me. How much have you other august sleevers lost SINCE your surgery?
