cherished

I haven't really gained weight other than the up and down of about 3lbs, my problem is over the last four months I have only lost 5lbs. I am 8 months in and feeling very discouraged. I have not been exercising so I am at fault and the food choices are not that great. I need to hit the reset button, I don't take time for me my days are so hectic and I do not let my self be selfish in a way of taking time to prepare my food, workout, and take set aside the money for vitamins. Any suggestions are welcome, don't be mean or rude I don't need that kind of response just some support and suggestions would be great.

I am down 58lbs, going slow now but love feeling like me again, it's getting hard staying on track and getting water and protein along with working out. Good luck to all hope your doing great to

I am not that far along but do you think it's more of a thirst then a hunger, I thought I was hungry all the time until I started drinking when I gut the hunger urge it has helped. Keep your drink with you maybe it will help curve the hunger munchies attacks. Good luck you have done an awesome job already you will get through this too.

Take a moment and a few deep breathes, count to 10 and with each number you count say one reason why you want this after you get to 10 visualize the happiest moment in your life then you should know if you really want to have the surgery only you can make this decision. Many blessing with whatever you decide is best for you.

I was sleeved on Dec 19th only lost 30lbs I have been at a stall for over a week. I feel great though and finally feel energetic and sleeping waking up and being awake. I am sure we will start losing again soon. Look at the positives and the numbers will drop before you know it.

I started at 216lbs lost 29lbs first 30 days and only lost a pound since, no loss in over a week now. I am trying to regulate getting protein from food instead of shakes. I think this is why I stopped losing not enough protein and liquid. I am tracking my intake now wish me luck

That's all I could have, it's bearable if you add banana to it. I didn't like it but you might good luck

It depends also of the doctor requirements such as seeing a nutritionist and psych eval. and their schedule. I am glad mine is done and that I did it good luck on your journey.

Hi Fellow 19th sleevers, its been a little crazy for me, had bad gas trapped for a few days then a sour stomach for 4 days and finally I am feeling great again. Went to my Nut and got a bunch of new foods to eat and I don't have to drink Pea Protein and best of all I lost 30lbs and 20lbs of that is fat. Its been rough and I ain't looking back, forward go go go. Hope everyone is doing good. Oh George's Aloe Vera works well for sour and upset stomachs.

I have to use the pea protein, I am allergic to artificial sweeteners. I don't care for it but its the only thing I can drink. I do right ounces of water and a fourth of a banana mix it in ninja then hand stir in three scoops of protein its the only way I can drink it

My insurance did not require anything if over 40 BMI or 35 BMI plus a qualified health issue. I went round and round to find criteria finally we just submitted and got approved there was nothing in my plan really saying what was needed.

Tampa Fl, anyone experiencing pain from gas or bloating, I was good until now

I am doing pure pea unflavored because I cannot have artificial sweetners

I was sleeved 12/19 the problem I am struggling with is being highly sensitive/allergic to artificial sweeteners. I am on pure pea protein unflavored it is awful and I gag on it . So no sugar free anything, jello, juice, popsicle ext. Its just the broth and shake I am hungry and dreading every shake. Is there anything I can take for protein instead of the shake?
