  1. I'm in the same boat. I'm 8 months out and have been stalled for six weeks. I'v started working out consistently, so I hope that's causing my stall. I'm starting to get nervous.
  2. I'll be 6 months out next week. I'm a slow looser. I'm down 55 lbs. People just started noticing last week. Three people at work commented on my weight loss. Noone there knows I had surgery.
  3. When I'm board I find I want to snack. Just recently I realized I'm not really hungry. It's all in my head. I want to eat, but as long as I focus on my stomach and the fact I'm not hungry I can control the snacking. I've started to make a conscious effort to only eat 3 meals a day with no snacking.
  4. I'm five months out and still take mine everyday.

  6. I felt the same way after surgery. I had buyers remorse. It gets better, I'm so thankful for my sleeve now.
  7. I will be 5 months out this Sunday, and I'm right there with you 48 lbs so far. Started at 238. It's been discouraging, especially when you read how people lose 40 or 50 lbs the first month or two. I figure the slower I loose, the less excess skin I will have. Just keep doing what your doing and be patient. Good luck.
  8. I work in a office also. I planned on one week, but decided to take two. I'm so glad I did, I needed the extra time. I was so tired.
  9. The only premade protein I can drink in premier protein from Sams Club. It reminds me of a yoo-hoo. I do like to make my own shakes with unflavored protein powder, sugerfree pudding, and fruit.
  10. I only told my husband, son and mother. No one lee knows. I'm a slow looser, so no one has suspected anything.
  11. I'v lost 45 lbs and am still in my original size 16's. I can were a few 14, but not a lot. I was also sleeved in May. Your not alone.
  12. I use the unflavored protein powder and add a teaspoon of sugerfree jello pudding mix with milk and your choices of fruit. Using the sugerfree pudding mix you control how sweet it is.
  13. My nut said no more than 30 grams if fat, 30-60 grams of crabs, 60+ grams of protein. I'm abel to stay within all the guidelines except 64 oz of water a day. I struggle with that one.
  14. I had horrible pain in my back while my drain was in. As soon as it was removed I felt so much better. I hope you do to.
  15. I could not see the news paper to read it for about a week. The doctor said it was normal, because of the medications I was on.
