It happened to me less than 5 times. And it hasn't happened since 3 months out.

I have been eating raw veggies every day since about 4 months, and dairy since 2 weeks out with zero problems :-)

yep I stalled for at least a month around month 6 and have gone on to make goal!

you look awesome!

That's great news! I am excited for you.

I definitely had a few food funerals. I probably gained about 6-7 pounds in 2.5 months before surgery. Oh well, it is what it is! But all I can say to a pre-oper about this is that you will more than likely be able to have anything you want post op in small quantities. I do completely..... including soda. So don't look at it as you will never eat your favorite foods again-- you will just eat 1/6 of the quantity you used to eat and feel satisfied. The sleeve is the best gift ever!

This was my biggest fear as well. I did lose quite a bit from month 3-7. I was nervous about it. I felt like it was a ton but It stopped and I look completely normal. Don't worry, I have had so much regrowth as well. Nobody noticed the hair loss except me.....it will be so worth it!!! TRUST ME

you will feel better everyday starting at about day 6 or 7. the first week is rough. Even the first month is rough..... but soooooo worth it. Hang in there. YOU WILL FEEL GREAT soon enough!

My mom had a similar experience! She had stomach cancer and she had more than half her stomach removed 15 years ago. She was about 190 pounds when she was diagnosed and since then she has been cancer free, with a similar "sleeve" type stomach and has never tipped the scales over 115 since at 5'4''. No long term problems! It is promising!

I am at 10 months, maybe done losing, maybe not..... sitting at 75% now......:-)

Thanks for sharing girl! You are beautiful before and after. I share some of your struggles!

Personally I can eat ANYTHING (hence the name Sleeve of Steel-- including bread and pasta. and I do. Small amounts of course!

is that sarcasm??

I almost cried for the poor guy when I saw this on the news. :-(

I got this ALL THE TIME!!! It;s nice to just get wow, you are beautiful for a change!

I was soooo swollen 2oz was my max for a long time, then poof suddenly I felt good. Don't fret!

yes, 100x easier. I eat 100% exactly how I used to (with protein as my main course) just about 1/3 as much with zero problems. I am 10 months and I have felt like this since 4 months out. the first 3 months are rough but sooo worth it to be at goal

I was very worried about this too....pre-op I obsessed and worried about all the details-- but trust me your sleeve tells you what to do post-op and you just need to be patient and the weight falls off.

I struggled too, you are normal!!

omg that is horrifyingly sad

I have learned to ignore the negative nellies. You are taking charge of your health and life. Good for you!

this breaks my heart too..... :-( this is the reason I did something drastic and had a vsg to help decrease the chance of this happening....

I am at nearly 100 pounds down and will not need any at all.

I made goal (actually I am 3lbs below it now) eating 1400-2000 calories a day since 2.5 months out.

At 6 months I stalled for 2 months and have lost 10 more pounds since! ( I'm almost 10 months out) and made goal at 8.5 months out
