Same here ! Losing slow or stopping here n there but I exspected it since I was a lower BMI but I guess that's better than not at all or losing 30 and gaining back 35 and never getting even close to what I want to weigh like I have the past 17 yrs. I guess slow n steady wins the race right???? Sent from my iPhone using VST

It most likely from the mild ketosis you are probably in since surgery due to low calories, burning fat, and the low amount of carbs you are eating. Just drink ALOT of Water and gargle and brush. Be glad ur fat burning Machine is kicking in!!! Sent from my iPhone using VST

Milk of magnesia when u really feel constipated and stool softener pills everyday until you get to going more regularly Not stimulant laxatives bc u don't want to become dependent. Sent from my iPhone using VST

I'm 5'0" and was 205 now 3.5 weeks post op I'm at 180. I'm 42 and also had high cholesterol bp creeping up joint pains and scoliosis soooo I figured I mite as well do this before I get any older! I'm VERY happy with it so far and have had NO problems or complications thank God ! I have no problems drinking at all and no problems eating any thing I have tried thus far. Except when I take the dreaded ONE bite too much! Then I feel like I could vomit for about 30 min but I haven't. I hope to be posting some of the amazing after photos when I'm about 6 mo out like everyone on here does! Sent from my iPhone using VST

Mine took about 2 weeks to approve. Thy were real helpful when I did call to ask some questions and make sure they had all the info they needed from surgeon and me. And at the end of the call she said good news! There's a note in your file saying your approved! I got a letter in the mail a few days later. The process was pretty painless Sent from my iPhone using VST

Depends on your BMI google BMI calculator. Most have to be 40 or above unless u have other health problems then maybe BMI low as 35. Depends on your height and weight. And cost for cash pay varies from 8k to 20k just have to shop around but it's cheaper in Mexico maybe 5- 6k ??? Sent from my iPhone using VST

I'm just now 3 weeks out and down 20 but I think the KEY to keep telling ourselves is ... We never kept the weight OFF before THIS time we WILL! I keep that in my mind at all times. Ya I've lost the same 35# about 35x in the past 17 yrs but this time when I get to 165 which is 15# away for me right now I KNOW that I will never weigh 200 again! So that's my personal 1st goal. I haven't been at that weight in 11 yrs. I can't wait !!!! and I hope I get there maybe by the time I'm 2mo post op. Just keep your eye on the prize! Sent from my iPhone using VST

Yes they are vey bad for you and your doing this great thing... The sleeve for ur health.... Then u will die too young from emphysema or COPD which is basically drowning in ur own lung secretions on dry land ! Trust me saw it happen to my mom! Sent from my iPhone using VST

Thank u! It there tho lol luckily I don't look like I weigh as much as I do usually but for my height I need to weigh at the most 130. Which is going to be so weird bc i haven't weighed that in almost 20 yrs. When I told ppl that I ws getting vsg they were like what??? How do u qualify? But Ooo I did... I'm looking forward to my back and joints feeling ao much better Sent from my iPhone using VST

Have lost 20 total 12 since surgery on 2-6. I'm 5'0" and was 202 now 182. BMI was 40 I can tell I have lost inches. Today I bought sz 10 pants and sz petite M shirt. Of course they are a tad tight but I did want to be able to wear it more than once! Sent from my iPhone using VST

They do have some stretch and maybe a tad tight but I do want to be able to wear it more than once! Lol I feel good!!!! Sent from my iPhone using VST

When did u have surgery?? Sent from my iPhone using VST

O ya u will ! I was just sleeved 2-6 but a friend had hers a yr ago and her main selling point for the sleeve was that she COULD eat what her family and friends and kids eat ... Aftet all the healing time has passed of course and in muh smaller portions! I'm already so glad I had this! Sent from my iPhone using VST

I'm sorry. I know I have been moody not necessarily bitchy but at times I am. I hope it gets better SOON! Vent away that's what we r here for. Sent from my iPhone using VST

Good question bc I started at 202-205 depending. Sleeved 2-6 now weigh 182.5 soooo I'm so hoping to be in ALOT better shape by summer ! My goal is also around 125-135 and I'm only 5'. I don't want to be too skinny! I just don't know IF i would like myself? Sent from my iPhone using VST

Everyone was right I have been losing slowly but surely. And I have lost inches. Im not quite 3 weeks out and down 20 including 1 week liquid pre op diet And like someone said on another thread if u ONLY lose 2# a week that's 104 # in a year! It helps to look at the big picture for sure Sent from my iPhone using VST

I was sore around the drain too an felt 100x better the day it came out. I also felt like I got alittle winded walking around the 1st couple of weeks but all the sudden one day it was gone. I think it was from my somach being so sore plus I was finding myself holding my stomach in ALOT I guess b I was sore so it felt like it was even harder to breathe. Idk just my 2 cents!

AWESOME! Can't wait til I can post some hot momma pics lol Sent from my iPhone using VST

I know how u feel! I will be 3 weeks out Monday and have had no problems drinking. What I can eat so far info get full really fast but I'm only 3 weeks. So I'm hoping on the denser foods I feel more restricted. It's kinda scary when u think gezzz i " should" be feeling this or that but like everyone said ... Everyone's different and as long As ur losing all is good! Sent from my iPhone using VST
