I am so sorry to hear that you are having so many problems,i did not have any leaks,but I can say it was very hard the first month,i did not think I was gone to make it,but by the grace of God I got through it,and it did get better,hang in there and I am praying that GOD continue to give you strength,and one day you will look back and see it was all worth it

What help me a lot was I would take a good smell of the food and it was just like I was eating it and that really help me lol..

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!

I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL I HAD TO TIME MY SELF EVERY TWO HOURS BECAUSE I'M NEVER HUNGRY,BUT THE KEY TO LOSING WEIGT IS EATING,AND YOU HAVE TO EAT IN ORDER FOR YOU WEIGHT TO CONTINUE TO DROP,THAT WILL PREVENT STALLS,I PRAY THAT YOU FEEL BETTER IN TIME IT WILL GET BETTER,,sorry about the caps

I know how you feel coming from a size 22 a size 10 is just wonderful,when I tried on a 12 and it was a lill to big I was like WOW,this is great,i still find it hard to go to the smaller sizes,bt i'm getting there lol..

Yes you have to eat eating is the key to losing weight,i set my timer every two hours to remind my self to eat,because i'm ever hungry.and also I had to stop my treadmill for a while and I started losing faster.you may not be eating enough to burn,so make sure you eating,so don't get discourage it will start dropping again

That's great!! well I was sleeved in Jan 24I was 264 and now i'm 179,i was wearing a 22 i'm now a size 10 and it is an amazing feeling...

I set my timer to eat every two hours,i eat even if i'm not hungry,because i can only eay a small amounts,i had a stall for only one week,the key to losing weight is eating so i have to remind my self,because if listen to my stomach i will never eat because i'm never hungry lol..

MY surgery was in Jan i only had a stall once,mine pick up after stall,this is my plan i eat every two hours,so i set my timer to eat,even when i'm not hungry i eat,because its only small amounts anyway..i stop the exercising for a while to watch to see what my body was gone to do,and it continue to drop i know crazy,but i will start back soon.the key to losing is eating..and also you could be losing inches that may not show up on the scale, so it will start back soon.don't get discourage,,

I will keep you in prayer,stay encourage,GOD GOT YOUR BACK...

Well...there's a couple of ways to look at it. Eating should be, for most people, a way to re-nourish the body. It shouldn't be considered a hobby or a source of pleasure. Unfortunately that is how many of us, me included, got to this point. It is really difficult, but very important to disconnect the social relationship one has with food and eating. The surgery itself will force us to face the fact that we will need to limit what we consume. That said, it doesn't mean that we cannot enjoy a meal, it just means that we won't be joining the food Olympics anytime soon. .

Nope this surgery was a blessing was sleeve on jan 24,65 down,and 40 more to go,was wearing a size 22 and now a size 12

I set my timer to remind my self to eat every two hours and its working,the key is eating,and also i stop walking on my treadmill for a while and it started moving faster,i know that crazy,i will start back soon just watching my body now,and also you could be losing inches that will not show on the scale..so hang in there it will start back soon,

Today I am officially 70 lbs lighter. I lost some of the weight pre-op and 32 lbs since surgery 2/25/12.

everybody is different. If you are struggling to get in your fluids and/or Protein, then I would look to get that squared away then your weight loss would be more in line with what you are expecting. The body does everything possible to hold on to as much energy (fat) as possible. If you are not fueling it through protein consumption and drinking your Water to stay hydrated, your weightloss is going to go much slower than if you hit the numbers correctly.

Don't compare yourself to others. Everyone loses at a different pace. I was down on myself for a long time because I would do that but I like where I am now

I am so sorry to hear your story,and hope it gets better for you,My story is much differnt.I went in on the Jan 22 to get a bypass and when the Dr, went in i had so much scar tissue when tey went in and My Dr. decided not to do the surgery because it was a high risk for my health,so when i woke up in recovery and heard the nurses talking saying i did not have the surgery i thought i was dreaming,i could not even imagine not having the surgeri woke up in pain holes in my stomach and still fat and hurt,when my Doctor came in to tell me it hurted him to give me the news,Ans how do i feel about getting the sleeve,what he did not know i did a lot of praying that night so i had my answer from God i was already in the hosp,already had pain and the holes in my stomach,so i decided to go foward and it turn out to be a blessing,after two knee replacments,a dics in my back,i can say i', grateful to even have the surgery,i strted out at 264 and i'm, 210.taken off of high blood pressure medication,feeling so much better,bck do not hurt anymore.every pain,everything i been through it was worth it,and i will do it all over again to become healthy,yes it was hard but it gets better day by day,so i'm thankful to a second chance to get healthy,and i've tried everything else and it didn't work but this did

Thanks for the prayers! Yes, I am scared straight now, and on the straight and narrow. I credit almost all of my newly found determination to all of you that took time to comment. It has put me back in the right mindset.
All of you are awesome!!

I will keep you in prayer,because i know it's hard but hang in there and be careful you do not want to get sick and have to go in the hospital,and they will have to go back in your stomach and remove the bread that is stuck and blocking you from eating any more food, and than you will have so much pain,that they will have to put you on meds to control the pain,are you getting it now just wantrd to scare you a little Did it work ??

Too much too soon. food addiction aside, the potential for damage to your healing stomach?!?! Not worth it.
I know I'm addicted to food and so I'm planning to join Overeaters Anonymous. Maybe there is one in your area? It couldn't hurt to check. *Disclaimer: I'm not implying you need therapy, just offering a potential solution.
