I believe mine is head hunger because my stomach isn't growling or anything I'm just obsessing over how good food looks and tastes but then I'm full quick .. My dr says just drink Water Water water and do an activity to get your mind off it . I find my mouth is salivating as I watch the food channel ( crazy ) . Dr says my mind is trying to get me to think about food all the time to put back on weight bc it doesn't know how to stop the weight loss that is occurring . Ahhh ....

For the first time I had BM issues due to the high Iron pills. My friend suggested this tea that she uses once a day. Natural and amazing results. I bought a box for $2.25.

I just thought...maybe I should have blogged that!!! LOL...oh and she told me that I started a lot lighter than most of the patients and I am not going to lose as fast, my body is still freaking out from losing what I have and it will kick in soon! Ok, now I'm DONE!!!

I just found out something today! I've been frustrated with this "stall" and called the doctors office. While my mom said, since seeing pics of me today, that I look like I'm turning into a different version of me, and to relax it will all catch up. to which I replied...RELAX...ME!!!! HA!!! Well, the nutritionist said I am not eating enough calories! HMMMM, no one has EVER told me I'm NOT eating ENOUGH!!! I backed up, sat down and said, you have the list in front of you of what I am trying to eat and I can never eat the whole portion...she stated I needed some good calories, like a spoon of nut butter, or banana in my protein...and up the calories a bit to boost the metabolism. Who knew that I would NOT be eating enough!!! I'm just stunned! My mom said she can see that I am losing inches, and the RELAX comment is really sticking in my head! Plus the nutritionist said ONLY weigh myself ONCE a WEEK, NOT every day or it will consume your mind! I said too late for that piece of genious!!! Too late lady!!! lol...well I feel better now! Have a blessed night!

Hey I'm Just Posting To Update Everyone & At Least Try To Motivate Or Inspire Anyone Who's Still Indecisive About What To Do Is Been A Long Journey For Me & I've Learned So Much Through Out The Months This Surgery Changed My Life In So Ways I Would Never Think In A Million Years I'll Be The Size I Am Or The Numbers I See Every Time I Get On A scale Who Would Of Thought I Would Be Excited To Get On One To Know My Weight & My Progress Is A Mind Bottling Thing But All Worth It At The End As Previously Stated In My Last Post I Started At 330lbs Now I'm Currently At 174lbs Losing A Total Of 156 Pounds I Guess Dreams Do Come True!!

Thank You & Yes But 3 Months After Surgery It Didn't Start Right Away

thank god im five week out and today i didnt feel good at all cant wait to feel normal i go back to work tuesday maybe that will give some normal???

I have my days even at 5 weeks out now that I just feel like either I'm so tired sometimes in minor pain and other times I get outright upset for minor reasons. Its just a new lifestyle change and will take a while to get used to. My wife on the other hand is having the time of her life now,and that makes me happy. She was infested with health problems prior now its just like she took a magic pill she looks and feels better everyday.

I had my vsg on 8/21/13. I am so tired and weak still. I feel shaky inside. I am following the diet plan and taking my Vitamins. Sipping my Water through the day and night. Is anyone else feeling this way or felt this way? Please somebody tell me I am not alone.

Reading this really just brought tears to my eyes! I am so sorry that you are going through! I believe in the power of prayer! And just know I am getting ready to pray for you and for whatever it may be that you are going through!

As of today I am 7 months post op and have lost 100lbs.... I am so happy I want to scream it from the roof!!!

No that's not part of my Vitamin regimen!! Would b12 help with this? I've taking it in the past, maybe a few yrs ago!!!

omg thank god i thought i was the only one that felt that way cant wait till i feel normal...

It took me almost 7-8 weeks to feel normal again. I'm 11 weeks out and I have more energy than I know what to do with now.

Ok, I was sleeved August 14th, surgery went well. I went back to work on August 26th and I've been starving. Or could it be I'm thirsty. Which ever...my stomach is growling. Anyone dealing with this so early on?

Don't sell yourself short, when I was sleeved 13 months ago, I started out weighing 354 and on the day of surgery I was 334, I am 5'9"... My goal weight is also 170, and this morning I weighed 189 and I'm still losing weight pretty easily, I wear a size 12 now but I don't see any reason why I won't be a size 10 in few months, so don't be discouraged you are going to do great and if you follow the diet plan and exercise moderately I don't see any reason why you wouldn't get to a size 8 if you want to be!

You can use MyFitnessPal to help you track...website and there's a smartphone app. I like that when you add a food you've eaten, you can actually scan the bar code on the packaging and it will pull it up. I haven't had anything yet that wasn't in their database. It makes tracking sooooo much easier.

Wednesdayzchild...thanks for the new direction!!! I have been exercising and I'm not going to stop...water is my friend...so I will wait, patiently for the trusty scale to one day decide to MOVE!!!!

I was sleeved July 9 my HW was 245 Surgery day weight was 233 and my CW is 198.... I thought I was losing really slow too until I saw my NUT today and told him my concern and he said that it may seem that way but what we have to look at too is before surgery it's possible your calorie intake was like 1500 and now you take in 800-1000. It's a difference but not a huge jump compared to someone who was taking in let's say 2000 calories and now only takes in 800-1000. He says my weight loss is a a good pace and its will start to take off soon just be patient.

Absolutely. I'm only 6 1/2 weeks out and barely getting 1 whole 8oz shake in a day. They're really starting to gross me out. I'm only getting about 1/2 the my Protein requirements as is, so I really need 2 of em but can't seem to gag it down.
I think most people have problems with them, especially after starting real food. And they don't quench my hunger 1 bit.

Is anyone having problems getting all the shakes in per day?

I'm a control freak tho. I hafta control everything! Guess I got to let go and let God on this one, huh? I knew I'd lose it a little slower, starting at a lower weight, I jusy thought I'd be at 130 by 6 mths. Not looking like it now tho.
Bummer...

Love this!
