my surgery was oct 23 of last year almost one year out. still do not regret one minute. I have stalled for the last two months though. but I am trying to stay positive. this is the longest stall I have had thus far.

did you do anything to break the stall?

Around 3 months, I stalled for 4 weeks. My weight fluctuated about 3lbs throughout those 4 weeks before I finally dropped. I lost a pound a day for the next 10 days after the stall broke.

i am not doing so good on eating i constantly crave grapefruit...not sure why but I do not want anything but that. my husband is fussing at me

to eat some form of Protein but the thought of eating is just not appealing to me at all. my surgery was Oct 23 down 46 pds

I missed food for the first 3 weeks. I am 11 weeks out and i have to force myself to eat. I am 42 and been overweight since i was 6. Can you image

how wonderful it feels not to live my life constantly wanting to eat...it is truly amazing! I have lost 46 pds can't wait to see where i am at the end of

2013. It was the right decision for me. Good luck!

I can eat only 2 ounces at a time and fell stuffed if it is meat. I can only handle chicken, beef makes me nauseous. I can eat 3 oz of apple sauce though and not feel stuffed but satisfied.

not much, for some reason for the past two weeks i have been nauseated,

It is the best thing I have ever done for myself,,, did not care what other people was saying ...even my doctor tried to talk me out of it,.. he wanted me to try pills first is that not crazy...so glad I had this surgery.

I have hypothyroid..had my surgery 10-23.. I have lost 23 pounds so far. My TSH level was never normal so I am anxious to see what it will be like when i go for my blood work at the end of December.

i ate spam and egg salad too.

I was sleeved Oct 30, today I woke up feeling tired, headache and the last couple of days my incisions have been hurting, but other than that great I stalled for 2 days after losing 15 pounds thou this morning showed I lost another 2 pounds.

I had a headache for a week, no caffeine and no carbs will do that to you. But this too shall pass....

Hey guys! I was sleeved Oct. 22nd. I am down about 17 pounds since surgery plus 20 more pre-op. My pants are finally starting to feel baggy. I have been on mushy foods for a week. Refried Beans seem to be my favorite thus far. I have yet to find a Protein drink that does not make me gag, so I try hard to eat high Protein foods and put unflavored powder in everything I can. Even that is a struggle because I know it is there and it makes my food look funny. I need better flavors! Any thoughts on the the muscle milk light cupcake batter flavor? Sounds yummy, but how healthy is it? Most things I have tried to eat go down well, but I am still trying to learn when enough is enough. One more bite always seems to get me in trouble and I get sick and hurt a bit. I don't know when I am full until it hurts sometimes. Still learning my new body and way of life, but never happier with my success in regards to weight loss.

Secret fears are that I will lose my hair and that once I am skinny i won't want to be with my husband anymore. Basically worried I will sew some wild oats and decide there is more to life out there. Always have wondered if I have settled because I did not feel confident I could do better. I know this makes me sound horrible, but it is my secret fear. Anyone else struggle with this thought?

Congrats to all!

Sorry to hear that.(about your husband) I married a man who loved me fat and all I am scared he will leave me. I hope you can figure it all out. If he treats you bad don't give it a second thought...leave. I had a 6 year nightmare before I married my husband.. When I left the guy he accused me of using him to get through college. That was not true. I just couldn't take his verbal abuse anymore. But that did not stop him from telling everyone what a horrible person I was for using him to get myself through college.

I had my sleeve done Oct 23rd too. Congradulations!! I am having the same problem. I do the same thing you do. I found these little plates that you cook eggs in the microwave. It has 3 sections each one is 1.5 oz so I feel two of those up and do not eat any more then that. So far that works. I had to do something because I thought I was stretching my tummy.

My surgery was Oct 23 down 17 pounds.

I am sorry you got hit by sandy...I hope things will return to normal for you real soon. i live in florida and hurricane season always keeps me glued to the weather channel...keep in touch we can be good support for each other since we were sleeved close together...

my surgery was oct 23rd..i lost 17 pds in 9 days. weighed monday two weeks post op and the scale was the same as day 9. how are you doing?
