I am stalling really bad. If I lose 2-3 lbs, I gain it right back. Overall I'm still very please with the sleeve. Still a little uncomfortable at cookouts when everyone is pigging out and I'm picking over my food. Of course you have that nosey aunt that calls you out, why are you not eating? Are you not hungry? Are you afraid you gonna get fat again? Wow!

To ksangster, we are here for you. I get in a slump from time to time, especially this stall that I am now in. I have not lost a pound in 2 weeks. So to depress myself further, I have been eating pringles, ice cream, Cookies and greasy soul food. I forgot to mention the moscato. But, the upside to that is I didn't gain, but the way I'm going, I will not reach my 6 month goal. So, starting Sunday, I'm going back to the Protein Shakes and baked fish. Absolutely no snacking nor drinking wine. So come on, let's do this together. We have accomplished the hardest part, the surgery! We can do this!

Good morning and congratulations to everyone! We are all winners! It does feel good to be called skinny. I use to be the biggest in my friends circle. So happy to share that I have gone from 24/26 to 16/18. One of my friends so me Friday night and asked me "where are you?" She said that I have gotten so small. Coming from that particular friend made me feel soooooooo good! I have 8 lbs to go to be in onederland. Great! So very happy to report that my blood pressure is finally considered normal. All my labs came back great. My Vitamin D count went from 7 to 24, not great but much better. Overall everything is really good. Yesterday marked 4 months since my surgery and I am down 50 lbs. Lots of stalling but not complaining. April sleevers rock!

Congratulations willowsknot on rocking your sleeve!

Hello April sleevers! July 19th will be 3 months and I'm down 50 pounds. I'm losing hair and stalling a lot. I have been at the same weight for over a week. But, the upside to that is I have gone from a size 24 to a size 18 and some 16. My friends keep telling me to stay at this size, but I want to get down to at least a 12 and will settle for 14. It feels so good to read all the wonderful success stories. April sleevers rock!!!!

Congratulations to everyone because we all are winners because we took that big step in changing our lives forever. Throw the negative vibes up in the air and let it go!

chicken doesn't do well, very heavy. I can only tolerate baked salmon, tilapia and I'm trying flounder tomorrow. I can tolerate Tyson's grilled chicken breast fillet only if I eat it very, very slow and cut it up in tiny bits. I tried eating a baked wing today, but it made me feel too heavy. Ground beef doesn't do very well. So, I'm sticking with baked fish.

Kiki this is definitely a test of patience. When I went for my 5 weeks checkup, there was a man that lost 40lbs in 10 days, when I only lost 20lbs in 5 weeks. What a downer especially when my surgeon tried to down play why people lose different. I know its probably true, but at that time I didn't want to hear it.

I lost 3 lbs in the last 2 days. I was so glad to get off 240! I finally got 64oz Fluid in! I too feel like I have more energy.

Jimmy, so glad for the update. Concentrate on your healing. You can get another job, but not another Jimmy! Just know that we love you and will continue to send prayers up for a speedy recovery. Be blessed!

Have anyone experienced a change in your breath? My sister told me that my breath has a strong metallic smell that was definitely not there before surgery. Very embarrassed to be walking around with stank breath! LOL

At 2 weeks postop i lost 23 pounds, yeah! I call in my weight every Thursday to my dietitian.

I'm 13 days post op and still on clear and full liquids. So, it takes a full day to try to get down 60-80 grams Protein and 64oz water/beverage. I'm hoping when I call in to the dietitian on Thursday that she will advance me to puree foods.

To Janetf, just a bump in the road. But very normal to have those emotions! Keep on keeping on! God is an awesome God, and did not bring you through surgery to yet disappoint you. After all is said and done, your report was really good this morning. Keep your head up and remember anything that's good takes time!

To all that's being sleeved today, I pray for God to send guardian angels to surround you in the operating room and then follow you to a speedy and prosperous recovery! Be blessed!

To everyone being sleeved today, may God be with you from the time you enter operating room, during the procedure, and afterwards as you begin your speedy recovery. Be blessed, and welcome to to the start of your new life!

Hello everyone, I arrived in West VA @midnight and after driving for eight hours, I was sleepy and very, very tired! I got nutrition and education classes at 10&11. I'm on a clear liquid diet today, and I take the citrate magnesium at 5. Well I'm less than 24 hours from joining the losers bench. My Pastor anointed me and prayed with me before traveling, and I had such a peaceful trip. And the best news is that my sister and my niece is driving here tonight. They will be with me for surgery. I was freaking out a little because I thought I had to do this alone. God is so awesome! Good luck to all that's being sleeved this week and to the ones that have already been sleeved. Hoping I will be a testimony for someone. Be blessed!

Arj1016, you are gonna be fine. God brought you through the surgery and he will get you through your recovery and healing. Soon this will be a distant memory. Take care!

Good luck madambones!

Thanks Joni and best of luck to you! I see that you are a few days after me. April sleevers rock!

30lbs down in 30 days!

I feel great! My post op whining has subsided lol
