Hey everyone! I was sleeved by dr Weiss in October of last year and I also live in Lexington.

90% at almost a year out... But that is with my ideal weight being at 150 which I think is way to thin for someone my height.

Yeah I can... I had the same types of things happen to me... I figured out that I had become lactose intolerant, so any protein drinks I mixed with milk made me sick as could be. The same went for the Greek yogurt I was eating in the morning as well. Maybe try quiting milk products for a day and see how that does. Good luck.

I had mirena put in three months after my surgery and I haven't had any issues... It did not slow my weight loss at all. I'm almost a year out and down almost 150lbs.

Sure... I am 5'9" I currently weight 166... My goal was at the top of my normal range at 170. I started this journey at 315lbs, so I've lost almost 150lbs in less than 1 year.

I do not drink anything carbonated at all. I stick to water and unsweetened tea. The surgery made me lactose intolerant so anything with milk is out. I still get sick alot and mainly breakfast food seems to do it. I eat alot of steak and chicken as my main meals and I stick to the protein first rule. I do not drink with my meals I wait at least half an hour or it also tends to make me sick, I do not do protein drinks anymore... Yuk! As for snacking I stick to things like granola bars .

No that's not it my docs have kept great track of my thyroid and it's right where it should be.

Ok I have a question I never thought I'd ask.... Has anyone else felt like the weight loss isn't gonna stop? I met my goal months ago and I'll be a year out next month but all of a sudden I'm loosing again? I don't want to lose anymore I'm already 5lbs below my goal and I eat all the time! Seriously I'm eating every two hours because I just get hungry that fast... Has anyone else felt this way or am I alone out here?

Highest weight 315... Day of surgery 285... Today 168! Two pounds below goal... That's a total loss of 147lbs... My one year is October 20...

Hi! I'm from Lexington.... Dr. Weiss did my surgery in October of 2011.

Ok... Stop and take a breath... How far out are you? I was pretty upset when I was about 2 weeks out as I had gone out to eat with my family and was still on liquids. It was a stupid idea and I cried through most of dinner. Now I go out to eat with my family every weekend I always order a kids meal of like steak or grilled chicken. I normally can not finish the whole thing. As for your full feeling try and eat slow and chew really well... I actual will hiccup and that's how I know I'm full but it didn't start happening till I was a little farther out... Maybe a month or two. I am 8 months out and I eat pretty much anything I want at this point. I am in my goal range and I have lost 100lbs since my sleeve in October 140lbs all together. I felt the same way in the beginning about how little I could eat, but I wouldn't change anything now. Good luck and you will be able to eat a bit more as the swelling goes down. Smiles!

Hi Paramedic! I have been through Flemming County many times! Welcome to the group! Amanda

I can't tell you what to do but.... My diet said I could have ground beef at 36 days out, so to me this ment steak.... I just chewed it forever! Like 60-70 times for each little bite hence ground beef...and it was a much welcome change from chicken. I had no problem with the steak it didn't bother me at all. Good Luck!

I'm pretty close.... 5'8" HW 315 SW 277 CW 188 GW 170 I had surgery October 20th 2011. Amanda

Ok this is fun.... The first pic is from my little sister wedding and I'm guessing I am somewhere around 315lbs. the second pic was taken yesterday at 191lbs about 20lbs to go to get to goal!!!!!!
