Well I don't know what's worse because I can't burp almost at all, even when I feel like I need to....I just have these tee-tiny burps.

I had a band for 8 years and I agree with Kimbaru... the sleeve is what the band promised to be. My wls finally works correctly for me!

If y'all are sick of sweet flavors then try adding cucumber slices to ice water. It is a cool and crisp flavor that is perfect for summer. Also look into Tevana teas.... they are my saving grace so I don't get bored with water.

I'm about the same 600-800 cal a day. Someone suggested to me to increase my calories. I did increase my exercising. And I increased my water today! Fingers crossed something works! Good luck to you!

Oh definitely! But I am a bit sad that I didn't make my first short term goal. That feels a little like a failure.

I heard that there was a three week stall, does anyone know what's that about? When does it usually end? I got to my third week and I've only lost half a pound after four days. I hate to call it a stall because I can tell my stomach looks smaller and my clothes keep getting looser.... it's just frustrating that the scale numbers won't budge especially because I had a short term goal of 169 by the 7th and I'm still 5 pounds away.

I know this post is old...but I thought I'd see if any of you know what size bougie Dr. Hodges uses? Both her and Dr. Barker did my surgery and this was the one question I forgot to ask! Super curious because I have a wonderful amount of restriction. I am only about 19 days out so I know that I will be able to eat more as time goes on, but its great so far. Also, are y'all still happy with your sleeve? Thanks!!

Patty and Stamour....I just private messaged y'all.

I was sleeved on 7/16 and I am excited! I just moved my ticker, seeing it move toward my goal is super exciting!!!!

Thanks y'all.... I think I will because it can't be normal. I was thinking that it might be from the influx of estrogen stored in my fat cells. I took progesterone for a short time and I had the same kind of dizziness.

My BP is normal without meds... and I'm getting enough carbs.

I am almost 2 weeks post-op and I am constantly dizzy and EVERY time I eat anything I have to lay down because I get so sleepy I can't function! I take my vitamins, the doctor says I'm taking in enough protein and I drink enough water. I am perplexed by these symptoms....I wasn't having them until a couple of days ago. Confused! Dizzy!! and Sleepy!!!
