i was sleeved 12/17/12 and am about 9 1/2 months out and am just coming off a 2 month stall. i didnt change anything or do anything different. i just stalled. but i kept pushing and have lost 8 pounds in 6 days! keep your head up!

I just turned 21 on the 26th of July. Im about 8 1/2 months out. i think it just depends on the drink and how much alcohol is in it. I drank 3 smirnoffs and was feeling a little buzzed i also tried a shot of patron on a different night and was completely drunk. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

anyone diagnosed with any kind of kidney problems since having surgery? ive had a uti every month since my surgery in December. I just also had a 24 Hour urine done and it showed decreased kindey filtration and function. I was referrred to nephrology, just havent had my appointment yet. This just worries me because im so young and do not want to be put on more medications. So if anyone knows anything about this please share your knowledge! thanks!!

so i wanted to get everyones input on what they are eating now that we are about 7 months out. favorite meals, snacks, proteins all that good stuff. ive only met with a nutritionist once and it was 6 months before my surgery and have had no help what so ever with my meal planning. my surgeon has seen me 2 times since surgery and doesnt plan to see me again until my 1 year visit. i feel like im eating too much and not of the right things. so any advice would help! thanks

Im 20, will be 21 in July! was sleeved in December and have lost about 140 pounds all together~

I was sleeved 12/17 down 81 since then!

Honestly felt like i was hit by a bus! I had horrible gas pain in my back and shoulders. I couldnt stop rocking back and forth. Was getting pain meds every 20 minutes or so. I also was dry heaving alot which obviously was very painful due to my stomach just being cut. It got better about 2 days after.

Im 5'7 sleeved 12/17/12 Highest weight 404.1 day of surgery 366.6 today 298.3

Hey everyone! I am 20 years old I was sleeved 12/17/2012 Heaviest weight 404.1 Day of Surgery 366.6 Today 293.8 I have had some minor complications, Was admitted to the hospital for 5 days, 2 weeks post op with severe gastric reflux, pancreatitis, and dehydration. I also had to have an emergency gallbladder removal in the begining of February. All that aside i have been feeling great. Exercising daily has become a part of my routine. My main concern is that i am now able to eat too much at one time. For dinner last night i was able to eat about 3/4 of a baked chicken breast and felt "full" but felt like i could continue to eat another bite if i wanted to. My daily calorie intake is generally 500-800 cals. I dont know if its because i am 4 months post op that my stomach is no longer swollen and that this is a normal amount to be able to eat in one sitting, but it is scaring me. My BIGGEST fear is gaining weight. I have been weighing myself 2-3 times a day and when i gain a pound it really upsets me.( i know this is so wrong but i am getting addicted to the scale) I guess im just looking to find out if everything im going through is normal? How much is everyone able to eat?

Congrats everyone !

Are there not so friendly people on here? I'm so confused lol.

lol i didnt realize the socks were gonna be noticable in the picture. i just always wear mismatched socks everyday. shows my personality

thanks everyone!! it means so much! i look forward to seeing everyone else's progress on their way to the new you :)

ive lost 105.6 pounds in total, so including my preop diet and post op.since 12/17/12 my surgery date ive lost 68. tips: just stay determined and keep your eye on the prize! i went through 2 hospital admissions in the last 3 months and a gallbladder removal, i was so unbelievably down about all this but i kept strong and am feeling better then ever!

i think this is directed towards ashlie! i already had my sleeve
