I have been having problems with my weight going up and down recently. Only about 2 to 3 pounds. I was exercising 6 days a week but was told to decrease my exercise to 3 to 4 days a week because I was having symptoms of dehydration. Anyway, for two weeks straight, I stayed at 256. Then I lost to 252. Then I have gone up and down from 252 to 256 this past week. Today, I was at 255. What could be going on? I am sticking to my diet and I am exercising but not 6 days just 4 a week right now. Should I increase my days of exercise? I alternate cardio and weights/crunches etc. what is your take?

Highest Weight 356

Before Surgery 309.5

Current weight 253.8

Total weight loss 102.2

Surgery Date: July 23, 2013

Surgery date was July 23, 2013 weight was 309.5 day of surgery. Today's weight 268.5.

I was sleeved on July 23, 2013 by Dr. Avara in Ocean Springs, MS. The surgery went great with no complications. I was 309.5 the day of surgery and I am 278 today. I work out 6 days a week and I have been following the diet almost to a tee. I went through about 3 or 4 weeks of a stall but started loosing weight again. My journey has slow but I am ok with that! Hello and best wishes to my fellow Mississippi sleevers!

Finally broke the stall!!! Woohoo!!! I am down 29.5 lbs since surgery (July 23, 2013) as of today. Thanks everyone for the encouraging words.

I am almost 8 weeks out from surgery. I am up to about 800 calories a day. I can eat pretty much anything of course watching fat, sugar etc. I am just restricted of course from the surgery. I usually can find something to eat off the menu.

Has anyone run into the problem of not being able to hang out with people you used to hang out with since surgery? I have noticed that some people (large and small) that I used to go to lunch or dinner with, seem to not want to go anymore. I need the social interaction but I am not getting it. I am speculating that they feel weird that I can't eat like I used too or maybe they feel weird because they are eating more than me? I am not sure but it makes me feel lonely. Even though I can't eat a whole lot, I still yearn to have the social interaction. Any suggestions or stories anyone would like to share with me?

Before sleeve surgery (July23, 2013) I took 1000 mg of Metformin 2x a day, Amaryl 5mg 2x a day and Byetta injections 10mcg 2x a day. Since surgery, I am completely off of ALL my diabetic meds. I do not regret having the surgery one bit. Best of luck to all you considering the surgery!!!

It has been 7 weeks since my Vertical Sleeve Surgery. Before Surgery, I lost 20lbs. The day of the surgery I weighed 309.5, today I weigh 286. So 23lbs. Since surgery. I exercise almost every day and I have followed the diet plan almost to a tee. I am a bit frustrated because I feel it should be more weight than 23 lbs. what can I do to lose more? Is there something I am doing wrong? I have stayed at 286 for at least 3 weeks now.
