Wow in less than a year this is amazing.

Everyone hits a stall! I was sleeved on July 1 lost 33 lbs in 3 weeks and then nothing for almost 2 weeks. I upped my protein and started working out. I am currently down 41 lbs.

Sleeved on 7/1 down 35 lbs excited but I did have a 2 week stall. I've been working out for the past two weeks.

I am almost 5 weeks out and ate almost half a bagel with veggie cream cheese! I ate a 1/4 then 3/4 of the other 1/4. It made me feel normal I have the other half for tomorrow.

I thought it was just me! I lost 33 lbs in 3 weeks and I have been stalled for 2 weeks. Crazy feeling because the weight came off so easy early on.

Same here with some foods. I crave pineapples for some odd reason but chicken taste gross!

Wow you look great! Love the braids too

Fruit is also my go too food but its hard. I do think I may be eating too fast but the smell of food irks me sometimes. It's like the first trimester of being pregnant ! I know I'm not pregnant! Lol! I am gonna try making protein smoothies this week with fruit. I loved bit getting hungry the first 2 weeks but now I want to eat and can't. I am snacking on grapes, crackers and cheese and it seems to help. Salads are also my go to food at work. I am down 32 lbs so I need to just deal.

I was told to experiment with food but food is hit or miss! I am so over the 3 or 4 bites of food. I feel hungry and can not eat u graze! So over it I need to live on shakes and fruit.

I completely understand and feel the same way. I get hungry but can't eat! I a Tired of food being hit or miss if it will make me feel sick. Things smell different and taste weird as well. I feel like going back to all liquids until this feeling passes.

I lost 31 lbs and will be 4 weeks on Monday. I haven't lost anything in a week.

I was sleeved on July 1 as well I lost 31 lbs but the last week I have been at the same weight. I am planning to start my workouts on Monday. I do agree about not eating enough but it's hard when you get full fast!

I'm in south jersey! 2.5 weeks out and 30 lbs down. Dr. Neff was my surgeon.

I think if you yo yo a lot people have learned to keep quiet until you say something. I have lost 30lbs in 2.5 weeks I am okay with no comment.

Congrats you look great! I do have one question as an African American woman hair loss and relaxers are a big concern. Did you experience hair loss?

So motivating! Baby is too cute .

I can totally relate but hopefully thinks will be better as of today.

Sleeved on 7/1 and woke up on 7/2 with a tube. I woke up while they were putting in the air tube and was sedated for a day. It's been he'll but getting better still not eating just water.

6am tomorrow is my time! Not nervous I just want to fast forward to recovery. I feel that I have prepared all I can so I'm just relaxing and praying for it to go well. Good luck everyone ????????

Nervous, scared all of the above! I made it through 3 days of the liquid diet and then I felt like I was going to pass out! So I have been cheating with a light lunch. My dr I Italy told me 5 days then the coordinator told me 2 weeks! I'm back to hardcore tomorrow.

Has anyone had surgery at Kennedy?

I know dehydration is always a concern so liquids are key to healing.

Keep us updated as to your progress!

She came highly recommended by them and other doctors. I also met with her my issue was with Lourdes not her but after my husband had surgery there a few months ago i definitely see a huge change. I did all my pre op at loudes but I am having surgery at Kennedy .

Is your doctor Dr. Medtvz? She has sleeved two of my co workers.
