You guys ive lost only 24 lbs!! but i think im losing inches rather than weight, i was at a stall for 3 weeks!! but i didnt let it discourage, i keep reminding myself the sleeve it's just a tool and not a miracle surgery so ive noticed that even though im eating less portions i wont lose any weight if i keep choosing the wrong foods. So it's been a struggle but i thank God i made this decisions! this website and all your testimonies had helped me a lot on a daily basis and i wanted to thank you! Remember it took most of us a lifetime to gain this weight we shouldn't give up just because we dont see the weight shed fast enough. This is a about healthy living not just looking thin..that's just bonus

What u think people? Im pretty happy

My dr told me to stay away from splenda, equal and sweet and low , they trigger my migraines ugh

Omg Jugee i got my surgery November 13 , 2012 too!! have lost 22 lbs and have been stalled for about 3 weeks so sounds to me like you're doing wonderful!! why the frowny face??

oh man ! this is a love and hate situation since i do have a sweet tooth, sucks i won't be able to enjoy the wonders of ice cream and chocolate but also im better off not eating them. By any chance have you guys tried truvia and stevia? i tried stevia and it's incredibly disgusting lol i wonder if truvia tastes as bad?

Oh my God i just had 1/2 cup of rice pudding and i feel like dying!!! the sugar makes me so sick that it's not worth satisfying my sweet tooth!!! what can I do to feel better right now? besides not eating sweets for the rest of my life ever again!!!

Try to mix miralax in your protein shakes to make you go, at least every other day until you are more regular. Also stay away from carbonated drinks! your cravings will go away give yourself about a month! Good luck!

Thank you guys!! Well a typical day for me is wake up at 6 am have my coffee (black with 2 tsp of reg sugar cause artificial sweeteners trigger my migraines) then around 9:30 i have my shake (which is blended with half banana and some miralax for well u know haha) then around 12:30 i have a light lunch which usually consist of tuna, cottage cheese, salad, shredded chicken , etc but no more than 1 cup. (i can hardly consume a cup) and i usually snack a lot like sugar snap peas, zero carb pork rines (high in protein), cucumber w lime salt olive oil and chilli pepper (pretty deelich) and at dinner i'll either have another protein shake or a cup of some kind of protein. I've realized as long as my intake of protein is above 50 grams i hardly get hungry. I am sooo freaking happy i decided to make this change in my life! wish you all of you the BEST!! <3

Five weeks after surgery, down 22 lbs My double chin is almost gone!

I had the lapband and had success until the shoulder pain and the weight gain started! now im a sleever and if i had to i would sleeve myself again! Lapband gets a thumbs down in my opinion.

Are you sure it's not your protein shakes?? That causes me bad breath *yikes* I carry gum all the time lol

I am 22 days post op and although all my incisions have healed there is one (the biggest incision) that has about a centimeter of it that's not completely healed, its red and this morning a saw pus coming out of it, its very small though, how should i treat this? Help!

Depends on your surgeon, mine requested only the day before surgery to have a clear liquids diet and everything went fine!

Spending the whole day at work and zero protein shake! im on full liquids/pureed food, what can I eat that would give me the needed protein for today!?
