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!

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

Hey don't beat up on yourself. I love sweets also, I had 1 cupcake & a scoop of ice cream last week. I dont have cravings like i use to. but i dont deprive myself. after the cookie just say ok, no more. i think the reason for the vomiting is because you ate too much or too fast (you were sneaking). last night i went to an event they had mini cupcakes, brownies & fruit. i chose fruit because i knew it was better for me and forwhat i am doing, if i would have deprived myself last week, trust me i would have grabbed a mini red velvet cupcake w/buttercreme icing. your mind has to catch up with your body. your mind has not gotten the memo that youre doing a new thing. i still fight with skinny girl/fat girl. i am also 1 mo post opand has lost 29 1/2 lbs. keep going, enjoy your journey its all trial and error, keep ur head up!

congrats lady, happy for you & will be praying for you

i cant wait to do zumba....my surgeons office ok'ed me to do all excersizes and im 4 weeks post op

I had a stall for 2 weeks. i thought my sleeve stopped working and all of a sudden i woke up (after 3 days of walking) i lost 2lbs and the day after another 2lbs

Congrats lady, life will never be the same!

Mine too, Happy Anniversary!!

I had my surgery April 17th and so far I've lost 24lbs. I was beginning to think my sleeve doesnt work because it took 2weeks to loose 1lb! Am i jumping the gun or sit back and enjoy the ride

Congrats!! you will be just find. Will pray for you

I have been on solids but ofcourse I cant eat the fried foods. they wont stay down. now i am eating the lean cuisine meals & low fat meals.

Girl, you're gonna be there before you know it. The only thing you need to be concerned about is what's the first new article of clothing you're gonna wear.

I am noticing small changes now. Walking is so much delightful now & not painful.

I had the same problems but before my surgery. When you had the surgery why your doctor didnt prepare the hernia then? It had to be there before hand. Did you have a EGD exam before surgery. A good surgeon would check before surgery if you had any reflux problems.
