Wow girl....keeping you in my prayers. That is a tough start. I hope the new pain isn't what you think. Stay strong

Checking in on my fellow August sleevers. Running into the frustration of being finished before anyone else at the table. Still can only eat about 6 or 7 bites. Working on slowing down each and every time. Think i am down to nearly two minutes a bite lol. Love, love, love my new stomach. It is doing it's job by getting me full with just a little bit. Upped my protein intake because I have more hair strands in my brush and comb. Have become great friends with cottage cheese, as too many protein drinks in a day become tiresome. So far I have lost 44.8 lbs...sleeved 8/29/13. Hope everyone else is feeling better since we are a little further out from our surgery month. Good luck to all.

I'm sure you are doing it right. Everyone is different. I too can eat anything but extremely small amounts. I do find the weeks I don't lose as much are the weeks I go carb crazy. Just keep going...you will eventually move down the scale again. Good luck!

Yay! Priceless!!

20g, with only 2g net carbs, 180 calories...I should have stated my protein window is 40-60g a day. You can get them on Amazon.com and have them delivered automatically each month.

Saw this on another thread and it showed me exactly why we have to wait to drink.

Checking in....sleeved 8/29 and down 36.8. Just started eating food yesterday and was giggling because I was full after 3/4 of an egg and half a piece of toast. Very happy that I did the surgery...looking forward to trying different healthy foods to see what works and what doesn't. Good luck all

Where is it going to be?

Wow! Great demonstration. I am 5 weeks out and today is my first day eating food I can chew...and I found myself reaching for a glass at dinner...good thing I didnt have one. Just a habit that has to be changed, and the demonstration with the funnel will stay in my mind. Thank you for sharing that link.

Kcmavs....add me

I too was sleeved on 8/29. I have seen some early August sleevers say the third week is always a stall-out, but that after that they start losing again. Good luck, and just keep going

Oh wow! Just had a Celebrate multi-vitamin and it came right back up....may be too soon. Sleeved the 29th...B12 has been fine but first time trying the multi-vitamin. Will be a while until I do that again. Any multi-vitamin faves?

I was sleeved Aug 29 and yes, weakness is a big thing. But I figure my caloric intake is so drastically reduced my body is just trying to adjust. Good luck, and congratulations on your 30 pounds!

Congratulations!! I too had my first post op appt and lost 21.5...very excited

The drain is a flexible tube draining from the surgery area out to a flexible plastic bulb that is on the outside of your body. It drains fluids and blood...some doctors do this, others don't.

Sleeved on the 29th and drain comes out this afternoon! Each day seems to be easier. Taking it day by day.
