I have only lost 60 pounds in 6 months and I feel I am quite slow compared to others any advise ? I don't exercise and I eat small bites every hour ?

I am post op almost 3 months now and till now I can't sleep on my left side it is still painful and my muscles hurt till mid stomach also the muscle area where big incision was still looks bloated is this normal ?

Hi guys, Hope all well any one sleeved in Jan, just curious to know how u are so far and how much weight you loss to make sure I am on right track.

I was sleeved 1-1-2014 . Weight at surgery was 264 and size 22 , today 226 and fit in some size 16 . I feel I am so slow in loosing . Yet I eat everything in a spoon portion even if sweets. I haven't dieted or exercised which I plan to do soon. I wish it goes faster

I basically tell people when they ask especially if someone is obese don't want give them false hope in diets that didn't work for me so I just cut the story short they Ask wow great diet I answer no WLS no body comments on surgery they keep saying how wonderful I look and wish me luck

I am 40 days post ops and since I was told I can eat normally I have gained 6 pounds I am so worried I must admit I eat bread max few bites from a sandwich, pasta like two forks for carbs could this be the reason

Thanks for advice

Since I am back to work stopped moving guess that could add to it as well

I didn't read ur post and have just posted the same question I lost 26 pounds on my first month and these past few days I gained 4 seems since I introduced carbs or constipation

Hi guys, I was wondering when did u start to exercise and w hat do u do ? Here in Egypt I had my second consultation after three weeks and my Surgeon just said eat normally what u can, chew well and that's it not even what to eat a d what not was wondering when safe to go to gym or do aerobics and so on

Milestone 2 27 days down 26 pounds I love this sleeve

Hi all , I am Suzy from Cairo Egypt. Here things are bit different in process than what I read here. My doctor didn't ask me to do any pre diet before the surgery at all actually I followed what I read here and online. Insurance considers this cosmetic surgery so it's not covered at all. We don't have all the nice protein shakes so we have to make them up I have scheduled the surgery three times in past month once with visiting doc from uk who really is the one I thank for bringing me to where I am now and explained everything to me yet had family and financial emergency so couldn't make while he was here. So met with a local doctor and we set a date but got sick so we cancelled and can't tell you I had mixed feelings not sure if I was frustrated it's being cancelled or happy as it maybe a sign that it won't work for me. I guess the two time cancellation is what really gave me freaks ... Long story short I called my doc on New Year's Eve and he suggested to do next day and I just did it 1-1-2014 . Milestone 1 celebration yeaay finally done . Spent 4 days in hospital the first day was so painful to the extent I was starting to have regrets but today 5 days post I can hardly remember what I felt. Lost 5kg don't know how many pounds that is to date from surgery another celebration and able get down some fluids well I hope I continue to be well am starting feel good spiritually . Good luck to all ????

I did as mine was easy and had some food not like what I eat here

I actually did stay on it

I been wondering what happens to the skin when we loose weight ow do u keep it healthy?

Mine was scheduled 16 dec and cancelled as my father who is in my care fell and fractured his ribs so we set 30 of dec but my doc cancelled as I was still bleeding from my period and I was frustrated and that it was a sign on new year eve talked to my doc and he said why don't u come tomorrow and it was meant to beb1-1-2014 it will come in time don't worry

I wanted escape on my way to the surgery room though it was my decision and had all bad thoughts in the world . But I did it experienced pain and discomfort on day 1 and by day 3 felt pretty normal and very happy now good Lu k

I am no expert either but I was like that short walk to the bathroom made me short of breath as well I am 17 days post now and much better

I got lip balm as well was so useful, comfy clothes as couldn't wear bra back home, took off all my rings earrings and so as they don't allow u in with them, take tampons just in case, socks, something u would be able to walk in after the surgery . Good luck

I am so worried I am 13 days post and lost 11 pounds in one week and only 5 pounds since is that normal ? I am following everything

I hope I loose soon more pounds

U guys are making me optimistic thank u

I weigh everyday I am now 12 days post op and I went down like 16 pounds in first 7 days but now I am stalled and starting get worried . I am following my nut strictly

Doing great

Good luck I am 9 days post, didn't have pre op diet and was worried sick, I was gonna escape on the morning of the surgery from fear I guess it's normal. My first day was difficult and I was asleep most time but today I am so much better today and walking well and eating soup, pudding, mash potatoes I even took a bite of cake and doing well. I blend a banana with milk and drink my doc allows it. Guess it's just a matter of time and will start having better portions and eating my fruits
