  2. Wow I was sleeved on 3-10 and quickly lost 50 pounds. I have been on a stall for 8 weeks with only one pound lost. I am glad I am not gaining but I have a long way to go. Please help me get that scale moving down again.
  3. Major stall for me. I had surgery on March 10. Everything went great for awhile but the last 4 weeks I am stuck at 292. I started out at 337. Am I going to lose more or what?
  4. I was sleeved March 10th. I weighted 337 today I am at 292. The problem is I have stayed at 292 for a month. I am eating around 800 calories and no protein shakes.

  7. I was sleeved on the 10th. I had some issues during surgery but since I am good. The problem with me is I don't follow instructions well. Since I have been sleeved I was on liquids the first week, but this week went kind of crazy. I had a glass of wine and a piece of pizza yesterday. Why am I trying to defeat what I want to accomplish. Help.
  8. I was in for about three hours but I had issues and they had to shock my heart twice during surgery. I am just glad I woke up.

  11. Hello everyone. I am 63 and decided I didn't want to be fat anymore. I weighted 337 and I could not get into patio chairs to eat outside at restaurants. I could not sit in deck chairs on cruises for fear of breaking them. I went to a neighborhood bbq and they stopped me from sitting down and brought out another chair so I would not break it. I was sleeved last week with some issues. I was told my heart rate went up to 165 and they shocked my heart twice to bring it down. They were going to stop the surgery but decided to continue. Where am I now, tomorrow is one week out of surgery. I feel good. Not much pain at all and I have lost 20 pounds. Hoping to be never found again. I would recommend this surgery if you are tried of being overweight. I can't wait to see my next weight in.
  12. Surgery is over I am home. I didn't know if I was going to survive the surgery. When they started my heart rate shot up to 165 and they had to put the panels on me to keep my heart in ryth em Now at home I want something to eat instead of water and broth.
  13. Wow I was told to just have jello, broth and water for the next two weeks. They seem not worried about getting protein right now.
  14. I can't feel my new pouch. I was sleeved on the 10th.and out of the hospital today. Hade a rough time in surgery. They had to shock my heart twice. I am eating broth and jello but don't fill full, but not hungry either. Am I missing something.
  15. My surgery is scheduled for March 10th.
  16. I just purchased the big book online and can't find it. Help
  17. Ok I have one big issue now. When did you guys go to the dentist after surgery. I am afraid of swallowing a lot of water and throwing up

  19. I have had my gallbladder removed and I too had severe diarrhea. I went to my dr. And she put me on Welchor. I have been fine every since but I am worried that after surgery I will not be able to swallow large pill.
  20. Thank you for the responses. I see the nurse to talk about diet and nutrition next week. I am a little worried. I have been heavy for many years and I need to get rid of it
