By the way....I just posted that because I'm struggling! I was a former Laplander and lost all of my weight ...over 110lbs....I k ow how it feels to be a goal and was there for 4 years until my slip last year. I gained 80lbs back in a year! It's been slow loosing but hard to look at myself and see a difference because I know what being at goal looks like.... Slow loosing is loosing but it's been tough for me:) I really love my sleeve though......happy sleever here!!!!!!!!

Okay....I'm a SLOW looser and only down 22lbs since 11/14... Please tell me you see a difference lol

I did the HCG diet starting in December of last year; I lost 60 lbs in 2 months and have kept it off.

Was this after your sleeve?

I had the band in 2004 and lost over 100lbs. My band slipped in 2012 and I gained 80 back in a year. I was sleeved on 11/14 in a 1 step procedure and have only lost 10lbs. I feel like I waisted my money and I'm really regretting my decision. I'm always hungry but following the diet at 100%. I just do t get it....it's very depressing...thankful that my band was taken out because I had so many issues with it but feeling terrible about spending so much money with no results.

6 weeks post op!!!

You look AMAZING.....go girl!

Okay ladies....I'm having a very hard time with this. I'm following the eating plan to the T and my results are minimal. In fact I gained 6lbs in 4 days!!! I enter everything in MFP and I'm eating 500-600 calories per day. This is so depressing. Was this revision worth it? I spent a lot of money and nothing! I lost 20lbs and gained 6 of it back this week? WHY?? I just don't know what to do.......I'm truly regretting this decision. Don't want to sound whiney....but I just had to let it out!

I finally broke my stall! I have been stalled since 2 weeks post op. I've been bouncing up and down the same 2lbs. Finally I broke the 220's. 218! Woo hoo!

Awesome!!!! Please share your secret.....I've been in the same 2lbs for 11days now and I'm ready to see the scale move!!!!!

Edmonds, wa here...,.revision on nov 14th in Mexico. It's been a very slow loss for me only down 18lbs. I'm trying to stay positive and hopefully the scale will begin to move.

Hi everyone! I'm in Seattle and was sleeved by dr Garcia in TJ Mexico on November 14th. I'm currently using Pacific Northwest nutrition with Melanie for fu nutrition, THEY ARE GREAT!!!! It's located in Edmonds, wa

The dreadful 3 week stall has arrived.....blahhhhhhh.....SUCKS! Trying not to stress about this because that will snowball into beginning bad habits....

I'm having coffee for the first time today....yes, it's caffeinated ....I'm a middle school teacher, its Friday, I'm dragging, the kids are going crazyyyyy!!!!! I hope I do t regret this later in the day.....has anyone drank coffee and had problems? And I'm down 18lbs as of today! I'm excited,,,,it's slow but the scale is moving and that's all I need it to do at this point

You look amazing!!!!!! Way to go....

Amazing and you all are such an inspiration to me. Keep up the good work.

congrats to all.

Thank you. Have you been sleeved yet?

Yes often

Have you found anything that helps? I'm taking Prevacid daily but thinking about trying pepto bismol or tums...

I am 3 1/2 weeks post op & still feel nauseous pretty much everyday. I am trying to find a food that feels ok. Im so depressed thinking Ive done something to mess this up already. But with the small amount of food Ive been able to eat' date=' surely I haven't messed it up. Im trying to exercise but my stomach is still so weak & sore too. I've lost 20-22 lbs...in the first 2 weeks but I think that was the fact that the first 2 days all i did was drink Water & sleep and because Ive had no soda or Starbucks.

My throat feels like it is closing up when I eat....and Im doing my tiny bites. But i can feel everything going down. And then my stomach will hurt. Im very frustrated.[/quote']

This sound exactly like me....when will the nausea end? Can anyone offer suggestions? PLEASE and what is "the patch"? Is it something I can purchase?

Does anyone experience unexplained nausea???? Mostly in the mornings...it's not horrible but I really don't like the feeling...

Wow you were able to return to work that soon?? You haven't had any problems since then.

Yes, I was able to work full days with no problems. I'm a middle school teacher so I was able to sit and take breaks throughout the day. I haven't taken a sick days yet.....things have been good!

13 days post op and im down 14 pounds. I have hit a HUGE wall this week though ' date=' im SO DANG TIRED

Anyone else ?[/quote']

Yes...soooo tired. After work, I'm running to my bed and I'm OUT!!! I'm drinking about 90grams of Protein and everything I eat makes me have nausea so I'm just sticking to shakes...booooo lol. I went to the gym and walked for 60min and actually had some increased energy. I'll be doing that 4-5 times a week now

Im new to the site im glad I found this forum.I love all races also' date=' but im curious to know how do African American Sleevers do after surgery.I have a surg datr for Jan 7, 2013 im so scared & anxious all together![/quote']

Hello my operation was on 11/14 and I was back to work by the 20th. I'm doing well and had a great recovery. I had some nausea for a few days but it was go e by day 3. My best advice is to walk, walk, and walk immediately following the procedure. Also, be sure to drink Anouilh Water to avoid dehydration. I was sooooo nervous and was boo hoo'ing all the way into the operating room. I woke up with mi iMac pain and couldn't believe that it was done. You'll be great......and congrats

SUPER EXCITED!!!!! My surgery is set for next Friday December 7th~ Ready to begin the transformation into my Future Healthy Self!!!!

Congratulations to everyone in their Successfull Progress thus far~

T~ :wub:

How exciting!!!!!!!!! Congrats

Down 13.8 since surgery. I'm excited but the loss still seems super slow for me. Maybe I'll start measuring inches....I'm wearing jeans today that I wasn't able to fit before surgery.....looking forward to seeing the numbers on the scale go down, down, and down!!!

I've lost 12lbs tooooo. Yay!!!!

So I guess I was freaking out for nothing...whoooo hooooo for team 12 pounds in 1 week!!! We're on our way ladies.

I've lost 12 lbs

Sent from my iPad using VST

I've lost 12 too!!!

I feel like I was expecting more....and was a little sad but 12 is good! I've been the same weight for 2 days so I'm done with the scale....only once a week from now on. That's going to be HARD lol

Was anyone on mushies yesterday.....how did you do? It was horrible for me

I was on the 14th and was on mushies for thanksgiving. I feel like I was a me to eat a lot. I'm used to having my band and feeling restriction but I was able to get a cup of mashed potatoes, string Beans, and yams all without no problem. I stopped myself but was looking for restriction. I'm so afraid that something is wrong. I'm looking for a nutritionist for some help next week.
