Hello all! I am 13 weeks and have been hungry since about week two. Nothing that i cannot deal with and not as much as before surgery. All of a sudden....i am not as hungry as i have been. Not complaining and hoping it stays like this. Has this happened to anyone and how long did it last?

Thanks everyone!! After a failed lapband and years of truly dieting and exercising for no weight loss has me very scared. Every week i am truly thankful for that 1 lb gone. Just needed to hear something besides "i lost 12lbs today and its been two months and i am at goal". lol. Thanks!!

Anyone lose 1-2lbs a week consistently...like over months and months? I am 10 weeks out and for the last 6 weeks that is what i lose. Slow is ok but i am afraid that it is going to stop soon. Would love to hear from anyone who lost at this rate pretty much the whole time and is out 6 months or longer? Just need a little reassurance. Thanks!!

Thank you! Needed this!!!

Just give it time. The heavier you are the quicker you lose.....so those people probably weighed much more than you.

So happy for you! Wishing you nothing but success!!

Big difference!! I am 4 weeks post op with the sleeve and love every minute. So far no issues. I think it helps that we already know to eat slow and take little bites, already gave up soda and used to not drinking with meals. To me those would be the hard things to learn after the sleeve. So far i have had no issues. I have lost 18 lbs in 4 weeks and happily on my way! Good luck!!!

I went to a concert 10 days postop and after a while of singing loudly and yelling, i had to quit. It did hurt a little. I also noticed it at my sons baseball game when i would cheer extra hard. I assumed it was normal. I am now 4 weeks out and so far so good.

Sorry you are having such a hard time. I am almost 3 weeks out so i am close to you. I cannot eat Beans, they just don't go down good....heavy. I can only eat 4-5 bites of food too. Are you on an acid reducer? You should be. Also maybe you need to eat slower and take longer in between bites? Also I noticed that plain Water goes down hard and gives me gas, in the form of alot of burpes. Hope this helps and hope you feel better soon.

I am just starting on the pureed stage. Ate some chicken salad for lunch...all is well! Just curious how long it takes to eat more then a few bites? I ate about a tablespoon and a half. My nut said we should eat somewhere between one and two at first and i am afraid to push it. I am really wanting to be able to get more Protein in than from shakes but have no idea how i wil know that i can eat more. Thanks!

Totally agree with Afrodite82!!

Awesome! Inspiring!! Thanks for sharing!!!

Brooks are great shoes and will run around $125.00 but will last four times longer then a Nike. Keep your receipt and you have 30 days to wear them and make sure they are a good fit.

Great job. Keep up the good work!!

Way to go!!!!

Thanks!!!

I'm jealous!!! Good for you!! Can't wait until i can say the same thing.

Yes yes yes!! And hate that i have to choose...be fat or have 3/4 of my stomach removed?!?!? Just had my band removed this past Tuesday sitting here hurting...feels like my band is still there! Had my band in for 4.5 years. I feel ya 100%!!

I can't wait until i feel better!! My band is coming out this Tuesday.
