Ugh 2 yrs so far. I am 3 years out lost 100 lbs the first year and unfortunately started with bad knees and they need surgery replacement they said but no one will do it because I'm only 37. It has been rough because I can do much so keeping wait off has been hard. I am started to get depressed. We all know what depression does. I've noticed stress and depression makes me gain without stress eating how I don't know. My goal was to get to 250 and work my way down to 200 it's been impossible. But I'm holding on to hope and faith that God will give me the strength to get there!

I was sleeved on may 10th and have lost a total of 25lbs since the day of surgery. However I have reached my first stall. I have been at the same wait for a a few days now but I knew it was coming thanks to this site. It will start to come off more when I can do more I guess.. What I am struggeling with now is foods what to eat. I am someone who knows how to cook but I am not good with healthy cooking and I need to learn A LOT of new things.. I hope I can find something new quick.. any suggestions.

Sleeved 5/10. I have had no problems from surgery. However I think I've done so well I forget I was sleeved. I have caught myself getting spoon fulls of the dinner I make for my family and spitting it out. Lol. I do feel some things I eat like cream of wheat..refried beans.. I actually feel them going down my stomach and it makes me nervous. Oh and what about those damn Iron pills..gross when crushed..ugh.. otherwise down 25lbs.

With the support and info given here it has made me stronger I know how bad I want and need this a few bumps along the way will only make us fight harder for the light at the end of the tunnel.. thanks everyone for the wonderful support..

Hello all... Im sorry bout dis late post.. But yesterday I was n so much pain.. 2day was way betta.. Im goin hm in da morning

Struggling with what if's... What if I have surgery and can't lose weight even that way? What if they do the sleeve and I am hungry anyways but can't eat? What if I get a blood clot how will I know or will I before its to late? Anyone else have these thoughts? I haven't changed my mind its either this and get on right track to healthier me or start picking out how I want to be buried... And leaving my children motherless is not on my to do list!!

I need a cookbook. Obviously one that focuses on high Protein and very low carb dishes. Does anyone have one or two they recommend? :)

I am doc and a sleeve patient, but for my legal disclaimer - this is not official medical advice. Gotta keep the lawyers from making money off of me.
Miralax or MOM is typically the best way to go if the warm Soups or broth don't do it for you. You can actually do the miralax more than 1 time a day and it seems to work quicker. I would avoid the bisacodyl or senna products if possible because your body can get dependent on them over time. Some people require them though. I am a week ahead of you (Jan 14, 2013) and have hit the Constipation wall. Started my miralax today. Good luck.

I'll be watching for your post my surgery will be soo also. Good luck to you
