Also, a lot of people will post their leftover stuff. Keep an eye out and good luck!

Being on a med that causes weight gain is tough. I am on one that causes weight gain but have still managed to lose 64lbs in 3.5 months! woohoo! Good luck on your journey!

Welcome. I love this site! There is so much to learn and so many friendly people. Your surgery date will be here before you know it! See ya on the losers bench!

I hate to say what you already have heard 500 times but walk, walk, walk. I found myself walking at all hours to relieve the gas-y pain in my stomach. Good luck and congrats!

Definitely on the protein before anything else and no drinking 30 minutes before and after a meal for me. However, I have a horrible time not drinking with a meal so I find myself taking a sip during a meal. I drink all sugar free stuff. My sleeve doesn't particularly like beef or pasta so I don't eat many pasta carbs or greasy meat. It's been a learning curve and I was at a stall for like 3 weeks and then it started coming off again. Good luck and I'm sure your stall will break real soon!

This is definitely NOT the easy way. I tell people it's the dedicated way!

I know this seems a little odd but I go through times when I have no appetite and then I go through times when I feel hungry 24 hours a day. The weird thing is that when I am hungry and eating what seems like a lot is when I see the scale move. Anyone else notice this or am I crazy?

92 lbs in 3.5 months? Wow! Congrats!!! I just hit 64 at 3.5 but I am happy with that!

Fantastic!!! Keep up the good work!

Great video explanation! Thanks for sharing!

If I attempt to guzzle water I get super naseous!

That will all change!

I have learned that if you let your self get the point of "starving", it's much harder to eat slowly and -that's when that last bite of doom happens for me. It's a learning experience but you will only take that "one more bite" a couple of times before you realize the pain, discomfort and possible vomiting from it. Good luck!!

This is an amazing place for honest answers! I went to my seminar hell bent on the band and walked out with paperwork for the sleeve! Crazy, huh? This site is also a good place to see what people who did have band think. There are a lot of revisioners on here. I got "sleevy wonder" on 6/13/12 and I am down 56lbs. That is a little slower than some but I will take it!! Good luck and keep us posted!
