I'd like to hear from anyone 8 months out or more please. I was sleeved on 12/12! I've lost 58 lbs and have 40 more to go! I have not lost anything for at least a month. So my question is, what can I expect going forward? Is this it?
I have done my share of "cheating" and eat about 1200-1300 calories a day, but before my surgery I ate 2500-3000 a day! I am so grateful for this but I want to lose more.
So what has your experiences been after 6 months? thanks everyone

Your surgeon should have information. If that's not an option, there is a Research & Statistics forum here.
Really good information here: http://www.bariatric-surgery-source.com/gastric-sleeve-surgery.html

Have you every heard of overeater's anonymous? Do you have one in your area? We have food issues, no matter what size we are or our stomachs are. It's not your fault. We are who we are: compulsive overeaters. This is something we can overcome with support.

you guys, how in the world do you get one of those tracker things everyone has on their comments?
oh, by the way: I live in the Denver area and I was "sleeved" on 12/12. I was 255 2 days before surgery, my weight the day of surgery was 251 and I am now down to 239! and so thrilled! I don't know how much longer I can stand the yogurt or cottage though! I am in the "pureed" stage until Jan 12!
