19.8 POUNDS TO GO !!

Ohh I love this topic!

I have gained maybe 10lb back... Baby is growing great and I am also healthy. As long as you stick to your rules and don't think "im eating for two" only take on the extra 300 calories a day you should be fine. Also at the start of my 3rd trimester when I actually started to see the scale go up... I stopped looking so now at 32 weeks I have NO CLUE where I am a at but hubby said he would tell me when I went over the 10lb mark :-) lol

33 weeks in today and I lost 13lbs in the beginning due to Hyperemesis (severe morning sickness). I have gained back 8 of those lbs. so still 5lbs down. I'm definitely ALL belly. ETA: I'm 4'11- the shirt is a size small, skirt is an XS.

my goal is to loose 125 pounds.. put me down!!

I actually was told the exact opposite by my PA and nut at my 3 month appointment. They were concerned that I was beginning to feel hunger. They said its probably gastritis and increased my Omeprazole dose. I think the OP should thank her lucky stars and enjoy it while it lasts. Unless there's pain or nausea or an inability to eat, then the surgery is doing its job.

I feltthe same way at 3 months post op. Now at almost 11 months post op I am starting to battle head hunger again... I know I am not actually hungry, but I often get the urge to snack... this surgery is a tool, not a quick fix. I am down 110lbs now. start weight 255 and currently 145

I had surgery 12/18 and weighed 260 now I weigh 204 or less not sure haven't weighed this week

I record my meal plan in myfitnesspal the night before ..I am eating about 850 calories and approx 80 grams of Protein. Sometimes I have to eat my last meal and I am not hungry at all. Since I want to take in my carb and calories, I wIt a little while longer then have the last meal. I eat 4-5 times a day. I don't want my metabolism to slow too much ..so I eat what I have planned to eat. Some days I am not hungry and I still eat what I am supposed to for nutrition/fuel.
You are doing really good 50 pounds in 3 months.. So keep doing what ur doing. But just be cautious of not eating enough..

I know I am only just 3 and a bit weeks out but apart from head hunger in the second week I have never felt hungry yet either and have to remind myself too eat.

You look like you are doing amazing!!!!!
I don't have much hunger either. Usually I just get head hungry. I'm still working on my food relationship. Enjoy that new relationship, it'll help you get through the harder parts.
Again, Congrats!

You mean like significantly different sized boobs and a pocket of flab on the top of my inner thighs???
Nope, don't have ANY idea what you're talking about.

I told my family I'll be headed to Mexico for some half price plastic surgery before this whole thing is over. I was sleeved on 12/2.

I know what your saying! I was sleeve oct 9 at 267 and I hit 199 a few days ago, and this morning I was 200 even I was like ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I'm running 2-4 miles a day!!!!! I know it's Water weight bc if my monthly but still I want to see an 1 as my 1 st number!!!

I am so glad I found this site. I'm 17, female, and my surgical date for the gastric sleeve is February 18th. Excess skin is one of the biggest concern of mine as well. Seeing my mom go through the gastric bypass process and all the excess skin she's accumulated has gotten me a little nervous.

I am 19 soon to be 20 had my surgery on 12/18 honestly so far my skin is doing well. The flabby skin is mostly on my arms which hopefully can be toned out. Good Luck

I don't want any one to get upset by this...I just find it ironic that you guys are giving suggestions about ways to Celebrate an upcoming birthday drink and my next "birthday" I'll be celebrating its my sober 17th birthday in a few weeks...lol. I find it funny. I wad thinking and how do I celebrate mine....lol

It's all normal, keep breathing! Stick with the plan - get all your liquids in, get your Protein in and keep moving.
As Kaysosa says, less is not more. Don't feel you need to do something to make something happen - your body is adjusting and responding to its new life. You just need to stay on course, doing as you were told by your doc and it will all come right. And don't get obsessed by the scale. Even when you aren't losing lbs, you may be losing inches - strange but true!
Unlikely to be the last stall you have so staying calm is the best attitude...
Hang in there!

Surprisingly I was afraid of stalling. But I stayed on plan and found today I are a little more than usual the scale moved two pounds the next day. Something to be said of the bodies perceived and starvation mode. Less is not always more.

Did anyone catch tonight's episode of "My 600 pound life"? It was completely eye opening about how important it is to be mentally prepared for this surgery. Penny had the VSG and 1 year after surgery she had gained 5 pounds. She never dipped below her pre surgery weight of 490 pounds...she had an excuse for everything. She refused to walk or stand and remained bed ridden. She lied to the doctor that she was doing EVERYTHING right when she was indulging in fried foods and carbs. Addiction can makes complete fools out of us, although after watching this episode I would say Penny wasnt just a victim. It was a powerful thing to see pre-op and I recommend you guys watch it!

You sound so pumped up..that is great. Congrats on your weight loss thus far. Yes u have good reason to be proud of yourself.
I too forget to chew my food to almost nothing. I still eat too fast. Well, I may have slowed down a little, but not enough. It is hard to break old habits. One thing that works for me when I am eating meats is to cut the food into small pieces before I start to eat. That helps with not taking too big of a bite.
