I haven't been on here in a while. My surgery was Nov. 14, 2012 so i'm about 1.5 years out, i started at 235 and got to around 150, but I flux between 150-153 which is fine with me, but today i got on the scale and was 155.5, which freaked me OUT!!! I'm SO scared I will gain, and refuse to let myself get back to my old habits. But, i notice that i can eat a bit more now when i sit down to eat.
Any suggestions, help, anyone else feeling this way too? I see from reading some of the above posts that some of you have gained but have lost what you've gained. I told myself I would give myself a 5 pound flux 150-155, but that is it! I'm so scared!!! Just need a boost! :-(

Sleeved Nov. 14, started @ 235, down to 152! I am in a size 8, even a 6 at times. NEVER been so happy. Loving life!! I really need something done to my boobs now, but the cost is 12K!!!!! Crazy Oh Well, i'll just buy some good push up bra's. I know I know TMI, but hey i guess if thats the worst thing that can happen, i'm fine with it! :-)
I hope everyone else is doing great!

Sleeved 11/15/12. Down 120 lbs! Went from 26/28 to loose 14 and Lg-XL tops. Amazing what 8 months can do to the mind, body and soul! Lovin' my new life! Congrats to all the losers.

Sleeved Nov 14 and I've hit my goal of 80 pounds! Actually 81 pounds as of today. I'm so happy!

I read on another thread to make sure your Vitamin D levels are sufficient

I'm stuck too! Went for a check up today and just really new to concentrate on getting enough Protein and not getting in the routine of things! Add in more exercise even if its 10 minutes first thing in the morning just to jump start your metabolism. Hang in there!

Thanks for the support, I really need it right now. The fear of gaining is a horrible feeling. I CAN do this! :ph34r:

you must remember that muscle weighs more than fat. i know it's hard not to become fixated on the scale but we need to refrain from weighing daily to weekly or every other. your body is probably adjusting. plus you have to eat more when working out as long as your selecting the healthier options you should be fine. you will get over this hump!

Thanks for posting your concerns! I was sleeved on Nov. 19th and I've lost 41 lbs. and at a total stand still! I too was getting worried! After looking at your responses I've gotten some ideas and some needed assurance that this is normal.
Thanks guys!

This is so normal for all of us...... This is a journey and our body does fluctuate like that...... You will start to lose really soon. Your boy in compensating for the lbs losse. This is what my body did about the same point and weight loss really slowed down. Just keep eating healthy and stay positive. After all you have loss a lot of weight so far...

Hi , I've hit 47 pounds and I'm stuck, actually go up a pound and down a pound. This makes me so nervous!!! Nothing scares me more than the thought of gaining a single ounce.
My surgery was Nov. 14th and I feel so good now! But being stuck at 187 (was 235 when I started) scares me!!! Someone said that it could be from working out and that my body is trying to adjust. I do also notice that I am able to eat a little bit more than I could before, but I'm NOT eating bad things.
What if I don't lose another pound?! OMG I'm so nervous. Can anyone out there help me get through this?

Was frustrated at first but now I am down 66 lbs and down 5 pant sizes

I had a diet coke the other night, drank it really slow over about an hour. I was fine. Why is everyone saying they have to stay away? I understand regular soda but diet once in a while should be ok.

hello my name is Jason and Im an alchoholic, no wait. wrong web site, yes I lust for the baconader at wendy and a giant Dr Pepper and snickers and fried fish and popcorn ect. but PEOPLE that is the food that made our jea ns tight and our t shirts tight and underwear tight and I can only speak for myself, but I refuse to go back to that.

I was sleeved on 11/20. And I have lost 32 pounds so far. I walk, walk, walk every day. I'm lucky to live very close to the beach. Walking on the sand is much more forgiving to my joints. I think what helps me is I get all my Protein in, all fluids and all Vitamins. I do still have a shake in the morning because it jump starts my protein intake for the day. And it seems to make me tolerate my vitamins so much better. But I do need to stop weighing myself everyday.

Hi, I am one week today from having surgery, I started at 234, lost about 10 pounds before going in, and got weighed today and I'm 212.5! I want to get to 150. I'm a little uncomfortable, and sick of the shakes already, and all the liquid. I find that popsicles and greek yogurt bars help. Need to get my energy back , but I know in time it will come back. good luck to all!

Try something other than liquids. I'm one week out today I eat cottage cheese and grits. Soups with soft veggies in it. I've had eggs also but my stomach seems to tolerate many things that I'm suppose to be waiting 2 or 3 more weeks to be eating

I had my Sleeve las Monday, I have experienced very little to no pain. I've only had a minor discomfort on days where I haven't taken pain meds. I am really tired of liquids, but other than that I have no complaints!!!
