After 2 weeks I'm pleased to announce that the scale is moving once again! Yay!

I stalled 2 weeks out too and I just started seeing the scale move (4 weeks out) also remember, those of us who don't have much to lose to begin with are going to lose slower than those with a higher BMI.

Try frozen yogurt, they make some really yummie flavors and it's easy on the tummy, I'm almost 5 weeks out and I haven't found anything that I can't eat yet.

Stalls are just a part of the process. I've gone through about 1 stall a month since surgery. Usually they last about 2 weeks, then the weight starts falling again.

Keep Pimpin' that Sleeve!

Hello, I was sleeved on 9/18 and have not slept very good since then, my husband says I'm restless and I wake up way before my alarm only to feel tired throughout the day, I used to be asleep by 830 before surgery, now I'm lucky to fall asleep by 10, does anyone else have this problem?

When else have you lost an average of 14.6lbs a month? It didn't come on over night. It won't come off over night. Relax and enjoy your journey. Stay on your plan and you will lose it. You got this!!!!

I'm not sure if I did or not. How can I tell? :ph34r:

Hey Rick, I'm on day 15 now. You're not alone here... we've all been through it or will go through it soon enough. Get ready, once you're off morphine your largest incision site will start to hurt underneath in the muscle wall. For me that lasted about 6-8 days after surgery but for some it lasts longer. You're going to start shrinking soon but it's a struggle at first. Be prepared to hate and then love your decision and then hate it again only to come around and hopefully love it.

If you have co morbidities you can have a lower BMI, my guess is that you do otherwise your insurance wouldn't have approved it.

It's a shame because I really wanted a SUPPORT forum, I'm headed to the hospital in a few hours for my surgery. Anyone know of any less dramatical forums out there?

I'm sorry that you are going through this, i think we have set in our minds that once we have the surgery we are set for smooth sailing, I'm having my surgery tomorrow and I hope and pray that I am one of the successful people, I think that the group supports that I will be required to go to will help me achieve my goals and I feel that if anyone has the ability to attend them they should, one thing we have to keep in mind is that this surgery is a "TOOL" for us, it is not a guarantee that we will reach our goals and keep the weight off that is up to us to make happen. I wish you the best of luck on your journey and hope you get back on the right path.

I had a turkey roll-up (15g protein).

classic case of self-sabotage. Why isn't important. Do you find yourself constantly thinking about eating? Justifying and rationalizing why you should be allowed to eat certain things? Just some stuff to think about. I would suggest looking into a bariatric support group, a bariatric psychologist, or your local OA faction. You know what you have to do.

Don't doubt the decision. It will be a hard year to 18 months with all the changes. Just realize your body will be changing a lot... Take the 15 to 18 month curve and lose as much as you can with the time you have... You have to get into your own head and make changes that you might like or hate but all for the better
