I had my surgery on Nov 13 , 2012 and only in the last 3 months or so , I have had the same feeling as you . Now that i can tolarate more food , I also find myself eating more, craving sweets and when I am moody craving salty stuff like cashews . I have lost about 57 lbs , and happy about it .... but for about 2 months the scale has not moved an inch, holding at 180 lbs. and at this point I am getting worried.

Dont feel bad , I think that we have all cheated including myself .. as long as your aware of it and control yourself .

I hated the scale before the sleeve and still hate it . I was sleeved on Nov 13 , 2012 . start weight was 237 current 182-184 , The first month after my surgery I was addicted to weighing my self everyday and it was exciting to see the lbs drop. By the second month , It was driving nuts when I had stalls , to the point that I just decided to put the scale away only weigh myself every 2 weeks and that gave me some peace of mind . But............................... in the last 2 weeks i have fallen back to the obssesion of the scale and its driving me nuts again , some days the scale says 180 , another day is 184 . Over all I am happy with my weigh loss.

Reading your story is like reading my own , I was sleeved Nov 13 , 2012 . I have lost about 54 lbs . Start weight 237 . I am exactly in the same senerio as you . Losing all this weight is a wonderful feeling , I also see some loose skin , I am ashamed to admit that I have not gone to the gym since my surgery , I am doing horrible with my water intake , I am lousy with my vitamins ( forget all the time) . I also have to commit to doing more on my part .

I am 3 1/2 months post op , and I seem to get to easily worked up , I am by nature a person that stress about alot of things , but after my surgery I feel that my mood swings have gotten worst, I also had a full hystorectomy in late july ( before my sleeve) so I feel my hormones all out of wack. I am also more emotional , I can easily cry to a song or movie is I am alone.

i never order anything anymore when we go out for dinner , I usually take a little bit from my husbands plate .

I think that we have all been there, I found myself doing the same on sunday ... I love middle eastern food , Kababs , hummus , rice , bread , my husband took me out for dinner , I orderd my food , knowing of course that I could only take a few bites and I was gonna take the left overs home ( which would be the entire plate ) . I took a few bites at the restaurant , I was full after like 4-5 .... took the rest to go , later that evening I opend the cooler and took the food out again , and took a few more bites , did it twice . I have done pretty good since I was sleeved Nov 13 , 2012 .... lost 47 lbs , but in the past 2 weeks or so , I been feeling hungry more frequently , I am trying to have self control by carrying with me some sugar free peach cups 60 cal , but I wonder if its actual cravings or all in the mind.

I totally understand you , I often feel the same as you .... My doctor had told me that I would not be able to tolorate chocolate and that if I ate it , I would learn to reget it( I tried it and I did not regret it ) , I have lost 42 lbs ,since my surgery on Nov 13 , 2012 . I guess when you hear 42 lbs , it sounds great and it is , but I would probably be losing faster if I drank more water , exercised and watch my snacking . I can tolorate more food and I am feeling guilty about it. I am also feeling hungry more often , so I carry around some diced peach fruit cups 60 cal , with no sugar added. I thought that I was not supposed to feel hungey , I thought that they had removed a part of the stomach that causes you to crave sweets ..... I still crave sweets sometimes . HOW CAN I PROGRAM MY MIND TO NOT WANT SWEETS , WHEN MY MIND REMEMBERS WHAT THEY TASTE LIKE?

Wow, reading your story has given me something to think about , I have lost about 42 lbs , since my surgery Nov 13 , 2012 . I am feeling really good about myself , especially when I wear smaller clothing . I am able to wear a regular misses size XL and size 18 , It feels so unreal when I go into the woman plus size section and realize that everything looks so big now. I am 195 lb now and my goal is 140 ( what I weight when i was first married , back in 1991) I hope that i reach that goal ..... but I pray that I don't lose anymore than that , because I know I will look sick. I imagine that gaining weight should not be as hard to do . Good luck to you and congratulations on achieving your goal.

I enjoyed reading about your journey and I share your joy , I was sleeved on Nov 13 , 2012 . My start weight was 237 and I am down 38 lbs .... I feel amazing ! I am able to wear clothes that I use to fit into before ..... I feel that I have probably lost more inches then actual weight . This week even pants that I had kept from long ago are now getting so loose . This weekend I plan to go buy some new ones because they all sagging in the butt and hip area. It is hard to take it all , I was wearing a tight size 20 pants , 2 x tops and , I am now able to fit a size 16 pants and XL tops ...... I can reach my entire back when I shower , I am sleeping better . I am so looking forward to ths coming summer !

I was sleeved on Nov 13 2012 , I have lost 37 lbs .... and I have been really good about consuming healthy things , but this past week I have pushed my limits and I feel so guilty , I have not gained anything nor gotten sick , My doctor told me that I would never be able to have chocolate or sweets ... but on christmas eve , my sister brought over some homemade sweets , which I love....she made this cherry cobbler and some mini rich chocolate cakes with nutella in the middle .. I had a few bites here and there for the past 3 days , and thats not it ......................................................... I have started drinking regular coffee I just dont like the decaf .

Lol , I can't wait until my husband gets to that point , he is also very excited to see my progress ... I was sleeved on Nov 13 , 2012 . I think that my weight loss is slow compared to others , I was feeling kinda down about it but have come to terms with it because myabe my slow weight loss is better then others. My start weight was 237 , surgery date i lost 15 lbs , 222 lbs .. a week and half after my surgery was great , I had gone down to 216 but then for about 3 weeks nothing... today I jumped on the scale and it says 205 , so i am happy about that. I was happy to read about your story , best of luck to you.

This happend to me twice , exactly as you describe it , that foamy yucky stuff that came out as I vomitted, you live and learn.

I am very happy for you , I was sleeved 3 weeks ago and I am feeling very dissapointed with my weight loss. I lost 15 lbs on my pre op , and 1 week after my surgery I lost 7 lbs ... but for the past 2 weeks I have not lost anything. I am still on soft foods , I have some days that I am eating up to 2-3 small meals a day and other days I can only eat 1 ... It is getting fustrating.

I had to do a 2 week diet .
