I had my VSG on 4/9 (Wed), the next week was spring break, and I went back to work the Mon after break. I had am EMD class and was cleared for performing restraints upon returning. I was tired but better physically each day than I was before the surgery. Good luck!

I can see where frequent changes can help! I will try that when the stall visits again!

I was sleeved on 4/9 and could not break a stall! I met with my nutritionist who has me eating 6 4 oz meals/day with net calories between 800-1000. I eat 2 oz Protein and 1 oz carb and I oz fruit. The scale has gone down 4.5 lbs since I met with her last week, so it does work!!! The 400-500 cal days were not doing it! ????????????????

You look fabulous! Congrats!

You look fabulous!

Congrats on goal and welcome back! Glad you're home!

Look great!

I am also a lap band survivor. My band eroded in January 2012 and required emergency surgery and a week in the hospital. I had to wait for the BMI requirements for my insurance to approve the sleeve. I was 20 lbs away from my highest weight when I started my pre-op diet. I had the sleeve on 4/9 and love it! No throwing up, no chest pains from things getting stuck, am sleeping at night without getting up sick, no meds for acid reflux, etc. I can eat any meat. I have not tried bread (other than flat bread which is fine) or Pasta. I have not tried carbonated beverages either. I love my maintenance-free (no fill) sleeve. I have lost 40 lbs so far!!!

I will be two months post-op on June 9 and lost 10 lbs pre-op and 37 total. I oftentimes feel like it should be more but the average is not bad.

Walk! Walk! Walk! The pain in your shoulder did from the gas and it's real!

Hi it's been 2 weeks since my operation and for the last week my weight is a complete stand still. Is this normal? I only have 400 - 600 calories. Please I'm feeling a little depressed. I know it's a slow journey but I haven't dropped anything in the last week:(

I did the same thing for 2 weeks then lost 3 lbs this past weekend. I will be one month post op on 4/9!

Sleeved on 4/9/14 by Dr Avara in Ocean Springs. I had the lapband until 1/9/12 when it eroded. Dr Moore was my surgeon then. I am starting over with the sleeve with no complaints!

I am on the coast!

<p>I had surgery on Apr. 9th and I've only lost 10lbs. in 3wks. My doctor told me I need more Protein at least 60mgs and I was at 40mg which causes my body to go into starvation mode and it's holding on to the fat. So that was Wed. and today is Sunday and I still have not lost a lb.</p>

I was also sleeved on Apr 9 and have lost 11 pounds. I can really tell a difference in my clothes. I know I'm not getting enough Protein.

Itsjustdaisy, I also work at an elementary school actually teacher in an EMD class. I was sleeved on Apr 9 and back to work Apr 21 without any problems!
