I really don't think your done..
At around 6 months it got more difficult to lose weight. But I did lose. It's very normal to bounce up and down a couple of pounds. So don't give up hope, just eat healthy and exercise and you will see more come off, it just takes longer.

One advise could be to buy liquid vitamins that maybe will sit longer since its liquid. How long have you been out? That happened to me at the beginning also, it was frustrating and scary, but as time went by I learned to eat slower that usual and I'm telling you smaller really smaller meals and Swallowing so slow that I could get anyone bored. I'm serious that helped a lot too. Good luck and please keep us posted

Look this is soooooo worth it that if for 10lbs you were to miss this huge opportunity well ill consider other choices. I'll be honest I got it done thinking it was going to be easier. Well, it's not. I get it now when they told me is only a tool but you will always remain on a diet. So do it now cuz it gets harder. Sorry but I'm telling u the truth

Yes you actually should it helps a lot or u can also use a measurement cup. Whatever fits into a 1/4 or if you're too hungry probably go for the 1/2 and that should be enough

So you have been sleeved about 5 months and have lost 52 pounds and you consider that failure? That rate is over 100 pounds a year. That sounds pretty successful to me. Dont be hard on yourself,we all have days when we eat to much,theres always tomorrow to get back on track. Follow the rules and you will get there. Good luck to you.

Just wanted to thanks every single one of you in here for all the support you've given me and other people. I never thought a simple app or website could be so helpful. It means the world to me when you guys help out because sometimes we fall a little behind and once we come back here we get enthusiastic again, so thank you for taking the time on giving encouraging words and great tips

I am hoping to lose the hair on my chin.......

Yes. Try Biotin. I was losing a lot of hair too until I started taking it. Now I'm back to my normal hair shedding.

It will stop and you will be thin and healthy!!! Mine started at 3 months and ended at 9. It has all grown back and is just as healthy as ever...but now I am thin.

It's because surgery is a shock to your system. If you do a thread search up at the top right, under search forum and put in hair loss, there is a lot of information on this.
It usually starts around month 4, gets better around month 9 and stops at a year. For some lucky people, it doesn't last as long.
You can take Biotin all kinds of hair and nail Vitamins, get more Protein, etc, but it will stop when it wants to.

My Doctor said that abnormal hair loss is a possible side effect of the surgery due to the trauma and stress your body undergoes. He also said that it's just a passing thing and would be fine in a matter of a few months.
Hopefully it will pass soon for you.

Have you tried Biotin?

It may sound gross to some but I live hummus. I make my own. I add a teaspoon of olive oil because that's how it's garnished and it adds good flavor and I just eat it like that or you can eat it wrapped up with ur favorite lunch meat.< /p>

I just discovered canned baked Beans today. I now eat beans for breakfast because it is high in protien and goes down easy. Bush's baked beans is the best.

I really like the Atkins Breakfast bar with cranberries and almonds...most of their products are amazingly good. There's 150 calories, 10 g Protein, no sugar, and w net carbs and it fills you up. The website" world according to eggface" has some good recipes including ricotta pancakes. Good Luck!

I know the first has eggs but maybe u haven't had them like this before

The name of the game here is layering. Read on and see
Spray an 8x8 square pan with Pam or any other nonstick spray, and pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees.
Pour 1/4 of the egg whites (don't need to be exact here) and place one layer of canadian bacon at the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle about 1/4 of the oats (so, 1/4 c.), and put this mixture in the oven for 10 minutes.
Remove the pan from the oven and add another layer of egg whites, then 1/4 c. oats, then a layer of canadian bacon, then another 1/4 c. oats. Put this mixture in the oven for about 15 minutes, keeping an eye on it, and adding the next layer when this one is no longer liquidy, but not cooked all the way through.
Remove the pan from the oven, add the rest of the oats, then the rest of the egg whites, then place a layer of canadian bacon on the top. Put it back in the oven until the top is firm, if you stick a fork in the middle it should come out clean (like a cake). The top will get a little brown.
When it's done, cut it in four pieces. I re-heat these to take on the go by placing them in the oven at 350 on a piece of tin foil for about 15 minutes. When I'm ready to leave the house, I take it out of the oven, sprinkle a little sea salt on top, and wrap it up in the foil to take it to go!
Another option for re-heating is to place a piece of cheddar cheese on top (or even in the middle, like a sandwich!). Yum!

Directions
Use the turkey as your shell and put the cheese inside along with the cream cheese. Fold it in half and stick on a hot fry pan, only a minute or so on each side as the cheese will melt quickly!
Garnish with some salsa if desired!

Really? I'm actually not but my doctor didn't say anything does it ever stop I mean would I be like the other people who don't want to eat at some point. By the way Lisa thanks for your helpfull posts they're really appreciated

Hi there I had the same problem 2 weeks ago right after surgery. I had to stay 2 extra days just to make sure. Many thoughts came to my mind like what if the doctor made it too tight. Then I learned that that's not possible. I was puking even the Water. After many tests even that white liquid came back out but it was just some inflammation and it's very normal it will get better nothing to worry about. As many people told me it doesn't matter how much it hurts to get up. WALK WALK WALK you'll be doing yourself a huge favor. Good Luck!!!! Every day gets better

I did too I had mine 11-17-2011 and it is the best thing I could have done so happy !!! I had awful surgery experiences so I was really scared and I was my Dr's first sleeve hes pro at bypass lap band so I was scared he was the best and so so happy loving my sleeve!
Good Luck!
