Hi! So im 9 months and 15 days post op. surgery weight was 325lbs..im not 220ish. 105 pounds gone is great and all BUT!!!! i have been at this weight for like 3 months!!!!! i just keep fluctuating between 219 and 228 back and forth its crazy! i do have one confession tho..i never exercised past the first month post op. please do not lecture me on that =] since i have felt stuck at this weight i took advantage that my job offers gym passes to our neighboring LA fitness starting beginning of this month. So of course i signed up and hit the gym all last week. problem is before i started at the gym i had gone up from 220 to 223 now today im 228!!! like wth! i understand im not gonna go and drop like 10 pounds in a week but atleast 1 geez! lol im debating if kind of starting like over with my body might do the trip. do a liquid diet? like 3 Protein Shakes a day and try it for like 2 weeks? i need help as u can see. any advice? much appreciated! <3

I think its a personal choice. i had heard somethings from people i knew who had the bypass and i felt it wasnt for me. I started out at 325lbs and my drs as well as my goal for me was 160. Thats a total of 165lbs to lose....im 5'8'' by the way and im 25 yrs old. I had surgery just shy of 5 months ago on May 10th 2012. and im 97lbs down, i have 68lbs to go. Its still a ways to go but i cant believe its happening so soon. i hope to be at goal by january? (hopefully!) i wish you the best of luck in whatever you choose!! the sleeve has given me a whole new life to look forward to!

Heres mine..im 4 months post op (surgery day:May 10th) started out at 325...now im 235. im 5'8 and 25 yrs old. very first pic is halloween 2011. last pic in the dress...just last week. hope it helps!

i stalled around that time and then started losing about 5lbs a week. i was weighing myself EVERY DAY...kinda psyhcin myself out when it would move or hardly move at all..but yesterday was my 4 months post op and looking back now ii cant believe the scale started out at 325...im now 235..its one of those when did i lose the weight?! i hardly noticed. my advice to u...dont stress about stalls...dont stress about NUMBERS...focus on how u feel. the weight will come off regardless. but stalls happen...shooot im stuck in one now! lol. but i wish u the best of luck!

thats weird cuz i love muscle milk the powder. My favs are chocolate N cookies n cream flavor!

Today August 28th marks 90lbs lost ...@ 110 days post op! (surgery:May 10th) looking at it like that it doesnt seem like much weight loss for 110 days!!! i have 75lbs to go to get to drs goal of 160 for me. just sharing cuz im kinda happy =]

im taking everyones opinion and going to see my surgeon today. im taking an extended lunch...so hopefully its nothing to serious and maybe my stomach was acting crazy for no reason. =] thanks all!

good morning all! so heres my dilemma...im 15 weeks post op. and ive been doing fine. the past couple of days tho, where my stomach is located ive been having random feelings of like "tightness"..u know that feeling u get in your stomach when u gets nervous??..like that but its where my stomach is...its not because im hungry either, cuz it does it randomly throughout the day. dont wanna worry if its nothing...but any idea what it COULD be..? thanks for your input!~

hi all just wanted to share that i LOVE drinking Protein shakes from Muscle Milk. They are delish!!! if anyone is stuck and doesnt know what brand to try..i def recommend! i just bought Muscle Milk Light: Cookies N Cream flavor..OMG! if u have ever had a jack in the box oreo cookie shake...it tastes just like it. i drink one scoop with 8 oz of 2% milk. n im good for the morning! good luck all! if u have any recommendations...feel free to share thanks!

for me its: scrambled eggs, hashbrowns, stringcheese, rice, sourcream, anything greasy, spaghetti...THE LIST GOES ON AND ON LOL. but it doesnt bother me tho! weird! =]

Hey all. im 10 weeks post op and ive lost 61lbs including 2 week pre-op diet. I started out 309lbs. im now at 248lbs, but i think i should be farther along by now to be honest.. I havent been exercising like i should ive been working so much that by the time i get home im sleepy and just wanna get ready for bed. but im on the ball now. i dont have a gym membership. i wanna find a step by step outline of a workout to do at home. if anyone has one. kind of give me some direction. id really appreciate it!! thank you!

i was sleeved MAY 10th. starting weight... 309 pre-op diet...lost 16lbs surgery day...293 lbs lost since surgery...24lbs today....269 total: 40lbs =] kinda at a stall now =[

This has nothing to do with weight loss...but I'm just really annoyed and need to vent. Who doesn't have sex on their anniversary?...apparently me and my husband.I'm so mad!! Like how can you be ok and whatever just watching a movie with me while I'm on the bed and you lay on the floor?! Ughh... I'm going to bed...just looking at him makes me mad. Men...i swear.

Had surgery thursday so I'm on clear liquids...weight load is fine but feeling comfortable with my new stomach isn't. I don't know what's my full feeling...and it sucks because being diabetic one of the symptoms is being thirsty alot...i feel like sips is torture to me...i feel like I'm always thirsty...but obviously my new stomach holds about 4oz...how long does your stomach stay full on liquids? And if its completely empty can you take bigger sips back to back seeing as how the reason we sip is because our limited amount of space? But if I'm empty and I take a bottle and fill up 4oz of like crystal light them can Idrink how I want sering as how its pre measured and I'm empty?...kinda dumb questions maybe...just kinda confused
