Target also carries it OTC. Cost is not that bad for a 3 month supply. I find I still need to take 1 20 mg dose daily, even at almost 2 years out. I will be reminded by sleeve if I forget.

thanks Fiddleman

Thanks for the response going now to purchase

Do any1 know where I could purchase OTC Acid blocker? I'm 13 months out and staying hungry even after I know I have had a fulfilling meal. Thanks in advance

I'm in need to get back on track I've fallen off big time since the holidays. SD: 2-5-13

oh, and my standard Breakfast is a veggie based egg white omelette... bell peppers, brocolli that kind of thing are great choices for a low glycumic index type food. I rarely eat bread, Pasta, potato, fruit or rice even now - but don't worry about the low GI veggies

I've been off of here for a while just wanted to say lady you look awesome!!! You are looking fab!!!!

I'm Southeast Houston. Sleeved 2-5-13

Oh good! If you are still losing inches, you are definitely on track! Damn the scale....

Ok I will try it! Lol

First - you have lost 82 lbs in less than a year....congratulations! My surgery was on 2/4/13 so about the same time as yours. I have been exercising pretty consistently since May. But like you, the scale is "stuck" and has been for the last 6-8 weeks. It's fine, but sort of discouraging as I am so focused on getting to my personal weight goal. However, during this time my measurements have continued to go down! Even though the scale has stayed the same, I am still getting smaller. Have you compared your measurements lately? The scale may be the same, but maybe you are still losing inches? A couple questions: have you had your thyroid checked? Are you able to stationary bike? (Years ago, that was part of my knee rehab). If you aren't hungry and your diet isn't bad, I think the diet pill idea is "iffy" at best. My suggestion is to change something up. Add some type of exercise, etc. Or perhaps as CowgirlJane mentions, this is part of the natural evolution of a sleeve patient? All I know is that I am in the same "stall" as you. Good luck my friend!

Thanks! To answer some of your questions... 1. Not as of late... I have an appointment coming up in a few weeks. 2. I don't own a bike but I do have an elliptical. As per doc he doesn't want much bearing on that knee. I'm not hungry per say on days I didn't excersise. I love my dance classes... I hate my elliptical it got boring real quick. I used it when I first started out. Now that I don't get out of breath so quick I love to dance.. 3. Yes I am still losing inches.. Not as much as earlier but I am still losing..

Sitting in the hospital waiting room, waiting to be called. See y'all on the other side!

Prayers and good luck!

Hi all, So my SW 267 CW 173. My Surgeon's goal 170lbs but my goal is 150. But Yes, I have lost after the 6 months. It has been slow but surely. I have confidence that I'll get to goal if I work hard. I've been planning to try the 5:2 Diet as well. " Like a marriage" add something good to keep it going. Lol

I like that!

Yes!!!! kindof like being married my first 6 months were totalllly terrific the next 21 years were the same somewhere between marriage and/or losing weight - 6 months where kindof iffy DH reading over my shoulder (but still good results - with many more years to come (marriage & weight!) 83.9 lbs down keep up the good job (i know you will ) kathy congrats

Lol!!! Thanks it's good to know.. Yes it is like being married! Hard!! But do-able.. With a lot of twist n turns.. At least in my case ( marriage & weight loss).. Thanks!

Thanks ladies!!! While I was able to excersise in the last month I injured my knee so nothing for the next 6 weeks or so. I have played with my calories which is pretty scary! I have been yo-yo'ng these same 6 pounds for about 2 months. And still have about 60 I would like to loose. I'm just wondering how with no excercisin? Should I just lower my intake back to 800?

I was sleeved 2-5-13. SW 307 CW 225. Goal 160. I'm starting to find it harder to lose. A normal day for me is B-Fast egg 2 turkey bacon or Protein Shake. Well today will be chilli and maybe same for dinner. With that being under a cup. I've tried talking to my surgeon about my concerns on my loss and he recommended diet pills. Well I feel that I didn't have surgery to take no durn diet pills. I am still on synthroid for my thyroids. Just want to know if any of you were still able to lose??

I was sleeved 2-5-13.. Height 5:3 DOS: 307 and today I am 224.. Slow but I am in this game of a healthier me for life.

Hi my name is amber im from Houston tx 19 years old been overweight my whole life. I am on my own with no help I have united healthcare i was wondering if anybody had advise for me a need a good doc and low cost and want to know ppls success with UHC?? CAN ANYBODY HELP ME?

Hi Hun you can contact Dr. Fernando Miranda and he can help you. Im in houston.

I’ve been married for 10 years, and have only been trying to get sleeved for a few months, but I’ve come to a conclusion… … getting sleeved is like getting married. Here’s how I see it: THE PROPOSAL: “Will you sleeve me?” This is the question I asked the insurance company. “Let me think about it” was the answer. So I wait in anticipation. I knew I proved myself worthy to the insurance company (i.e., high BMI, >5yrs obesity, etc.) Now I just had to wait for them to accept me. Luckily my wait was only 2 weeks and the answer was “yes.” Yes, yes, a thousand times yes! I’m the happiest girl on earth! I love my insurance company. I’m glad we’re in this thing together. PRE-WEDDING PLANS: I’m “engaged” to have surgery. I’ve picked the date. I’m so excited, but do I want to share this news with the world? Not sure. Will my friends/family be supportive? I’m sure they will, but I still like having it be “my little secret.” I also need to take the pre-wedding classes (i.e., nutrition classes, blood tests, ekg, etc.) to make sure that I’m ready for this. They want to make sure that this will be a successful marriage. THE BIG DAY (SURGERY DAY): Just like a wedding, everything seems to be revolving around the BIG DAY. The planning, the preparation, the excitement, all leading up to the one day that will certainly change my life for the better! I realize, though, this day is only one day out of the rest of my life – it’s really only the beginning of the process. Like a wedding day, most of the prep, money, and attention goes into this day. But in reality, it’s the honeymoon and marriage I look forward to the most. THE HONEYMOON: The honeymoon is that time (within the first year) when all of the exciting changes take place, when the most weight is lost and a new person/lifestyle emerges. THE MARRIAGE: Once the honeymoon is over, I expect to settle into a lifetime of healthier eating, ups & downs, new adventures, and unexpected successes (and failures) – just like a real marriage.

OMG... I so love this analogy!! Sooo true!

This is what I need to do. I need to re-kick out of my daily intake bad carbs, and now that I've learned the lesson, NEVER let the in my mouth again. Post-op I did really well, until Christmas came 6 months later, and I "allowed" myself to have a few bites here and there of some of my Mom's annual Christmas desserts... then it was, a bite here, half a sandwich there, suddenly I eat bad carbs daily. I have PCOS... I KNOW this is really bad for me, yet it’s easy so I go with it. I have been struggling to kick the sugar/carb craving again for the last couple of months. I have cut down on my bad carbs, but I need them to be totally eradicated from my diet forever. I'm a year and half out, I've lost 65 (because I've gained back 12) and I'm 45 from goal. I'm VERY angry at myself for sliding backwards. This Boot Camp diet seems like a good way to work on this. I'm going to be smart about it though. My plan (so close to Christmas) is too start on December 26th. I know me. I know that I will just give in on Christmas Day again, and repeat the cycle. I'm not going to expect mental militant me to be successful by setting myself up for temptation on the very day that ruined me a year ago. Thanks so very much for posting this!! It feel totally doable!

you have your head in the right place! Just get back in the game! And if this one is what you have to do to get there you got it. I'm doing it myself next week.

It's been a while. I'm closing in on my goal. I was sleeved on Valentine's day this year. I'm down 213 from the heaviest and around 190 from the preop phase.

Wow!!! Congrats on your loss!!!
