You look fabulous!

How much weight is lost with plastic surgery? 5lbs? 10lbs?

Very interested in this. Wondering if it would help with the stall I am in currently and have been stuck in for a while.

I need help with this too. Ready for ideas and suggestions.

I would love any information you or anyone else on this thread has about PS in MX. Thank you!

Looking great! Keep up the good work!

What was you longest stall period? I have only lost 1/2lb the last four weeks. I am drinking lots of water, eating protein and excercising. Don't know what to do. My surgery was 2/26/13 down 75lbs.

Hang in there! This happens! You are doing great!

From a 18/20 to a 10/12! I bought a gorgeous Kelly green dress today in a 10. I am so stoked. I moved a little in my stall....thank goodness! Started keeping a food journal again. I am getting in about 1000-1200 calories, 80 grams of proteins, 20-30 net carbs per day, 20-30 grams of fat. Working out. Snacks are Ostrim Snacks and Quest Bars. Surgery was end of February. I am so happy I did this. I cannot believe i am down 76lbs.

Good! Glad you have a cocktail that works. Constipation has been a real issue.

I waited until 6 months. I noticed anything with sugar alcohol was causing cravings.

I use Laci Lebeau tea, Miralax, colace and milk of magnesia.

My new favorite bar is the Quest Bar. High fiber. Low carb. High protein.

Sleeved end of February. 1000-1200 calories per day, 60-80 grams protein, less than 30 carbs, 10-12 glasses of water, exercising 4-5 days per week.

236, surgery was end of February

Ugh! Down 75lbs. and in a stall. Excercising, eating protein, drinking water, taking my supplements and vitamins.

Remember....your body is in a state of shock and it starts losing what it does not feel like it needs. I take biotin everyday and get my protein in, including a teaspoon of almond butter, peanut butter or cashew butter everyday. Also, started using paraben free and sulfite free shampoos. I use inexpensive brand called "Organix". My hair loss calmed down late July early August. Surgery was in February.

I take 10,000 mcg of Biotin. My surgery was 2/2013 and my hair loss calmed down in 08/2013. It gets better.

I have been in a stall for a while. I am thrilled with my results, but the scale has not moved in a month. Any suggestions?

I had surgery Feb 26th. I have lost 75 lbs and am down to 162lbs. I am 30 lbs away from my goal an 12 lbs away from my doc's goal. I feel pretty good. Exercising a bunch and drinking tons of water. Constipation a real issue, but working through that with stool softeners, miralax, milk of magnesia. I exercise 4 days a week at the gym and am active everyday either walking, exercise tape, riding my bike, something. I keep it low carb. Slipping rarely. Happy I did this.

If is delicious. I ate it for years prior to surgery. Now, I do not eat pasta, but really enjoyed it in my pre-sleeve life.

Congratulations and thank you for sharing! Share some pics! :-)

Well, this is it! This the first week since surgery on 2/26/13 that the scale is inching down. I knew it was coming. I am thrilled I have lost 48lbs, so far, but it is tough when you have been losing all along, then hit the snail pace weight loss week. I am getting my water and protein shakes in, but I really need to be eating every 3-4 hours...working on that. Staying away from fruits still, only a bite of fruit every couple of days, still mostly Atkins diet.

I know this is a personal subject, but what do you guys do for constipation? It is really bothering me.
