YOUR METABOLISM IS PICKING UP

I think that's normal. I had it for a month straight and i was 3 month post op

When I had my first meal out at a restaurant, I went to Salt Grass Steak House with my nieces. I order the child's size portion of baby back ribs & french fries. I could only eat 3 french fries & 1 baby rib. I was very upset. But as times goes on I got used/familiar with my sleeve now, i have no problem ordering off the kid's menu. more money in my pocket & i have left overs.

Dr. Robert Marvin at Houston Surgical Specialist, H e is the Best!

I can't wait to get to onederland! I am fluctualting back & forth with 208 & 209, i wishs these stubborn 8lbs would just go away!

Congrats!!! you will be pleased with your deciscion & your results!

that's great!!! cant wait till i get to onderland!

I too felt the same way about the scale. This is my second stall. I have a new pair of jeans that I just got last week and they were a little snug. now since my stall is over i've dropped inches & 2 lbs and now they are a little baggy. That's why I'm not in a hurry to go shopping because wearing a pair of jeans for 1 month is not gonna work for me. I am still wearing my old (fat girl) clothes and i look uber ridiculous so i have to do something.

I am down 38lbs since my surgery on april 17th!

I eat regular ice cream or dreyers yogurt blends... I don't deprive myself but I do everything in moderation. I dont eat any fried foods or soda.

I had a stall last week. I stayed at the same weight for 2 weeks and i thought my sleeve stopped working. Just try to be persistant in excersize or walking and you will see a change. I lost inches also. I just had to tell myself to enjoy the journey because this time next year you will not look or feel the same. I was sleeved April 17th. if you have anymore questions dont hesitate to contact me.

Congrats on your 30lb weight loss. I did 29 1/2 lbs in a month and i lost 4 more lbs since last friday. can't wait to go to the gym in the morning. im loving this.. cant wait till my birthday in august. cute lil summer dress here i come!

You will get plenty of sleep/rest with all the morphin they will pump you full of...lol

Hey MK, Ofcourse some of us had those issues. I almost cried because I couldn't eat what I wanted & much as I wanted. It gets better as time goes on but this is the new life WE chose. Just remember the reason you did it to began with like health/medical issues for instance. Your mind has to catch up with your body. I am 1 month post op and I still fight with skinny girl/fat girl. Keep your head up! Also, there will be a time when you hit a stall, that is when you will go weeks without loosing a single pound, but may loose inches. After I started walking, I lost 6lbs in 3 days. You are alright I went through the same thing. I'm ok now. still mentally dealing with it but it's ok...really
