I will be 6 months out on april 6th and I am 24lbs from my goal weight.just wondering how long everyone took to get to their goal weight.i know everyone is diiferent but have you gotten to goal before a year??

from what I have been reading a lot of people do the 5:2,2 days liquids the back to food.all protein foods no carbs.

it is sooooo worth it!!!follow thru this time,you will not regret it.best thing I ever did was get off the roller coaster diet!

atkins diet is pretty much what you are supposed to do with the sleeve.protien and very low carbs.and of course lots of water.in the past I always had success doing atkins and I always gained everything back when I went to high carbs,with this surgery you have to eat your protein first then if there is room {which most likely be}thenn add some carbs.i do it with veggies.

I cant say ive been at a complete stall in the past month but I will be 6 mon out april 6 and ive been unable to budge past the 2 lbs that ive lost.grrrrst kind of stall since surgery.it is frustrating.

mine comes tomorrow!!!do you wear it to bed??

omg only 20lbs!i have averaged a 10lb weight loss a month.i now am 5 months post op and 50 lbs lighter.when was the last time I did that????2 to 3 lbs a week is a healthy above average weight loss.

chardonnay for me and cranberry and vodka if im going hardcore!

oh you will feel full once you hit 3 or 4 months.if I go a little too far it hurts too!

if you can mash it with a fork you can eat it.that goes for any foods in the puree stage!

so happy I had mine removed during sleeve surgery.i had gallstones for years.

wow why would you have drain?i had 1 tiny incision thru my elly button and naver had a drain.

oct 6th for me and feeling fantastic!!26 lbs to goal!!!

why oh why would you tell a 4yr old???your going to the dr that's it end of dicussion

totally step away from the scale!i only way 1x a month when I go to dr.let your clothes weigh you in between.believe me you will see the difference in your clothes.it takes time for the numbers to catch up on the scale.when I get to my goal then I will start weighing myself a little more often but not until then.get off the roller coaster other wise you will be driving yourself crazy!!!

im getting b12 shots 1x a week for the next 4 weeks because my levels are very low.dr is doing it.

I was told that drs wont do it on over 65 people.anyone else hear of this?

thanks all,my hubbys dr told him he wont do sleeves on people over 65.bys mother just turned 67 and shes over 400lbs and really needs to do it.

never had a b12 problem.last year was the first time my d was low.ive been researching causes of b12 defincey and its saying it could be caused by the acid reducer I take.b12 isn't able to be absorbed when you take protonix ,prilosec,zantac,etc.but ive always taken something for heartburn in the past!!dr said it could be beause of the small amounts of food that I eat.tiny portions,skinny body!!I"ll take the shots for the skinny!!!

so I got my results yesterday from dr.b12 low so I have to do shots for weeks 1x a week.iron little low.i did expect that since I don't eat red meat often.sugar a tad high,which surprised me since I don't have sugar in anything except for veggies.which isn't much anyway.last year cholastrol was high now its normal.last year vitamin d was very low now its normal.dr explained that because of the small portions of food that I eat I might tend to stay on the lower end of the scale.i also take multi vitamins,calcium with and an extra 5000 d everyday.

I weigh 1x a month at my dr visit.the rest of the month I let my clothes weigh me,they are more accurate then the scale and I haven't seen a stall yet!dont be a slave to the scale,it puts you on a roller coaster ,not good.i figure when I get to goal I will weigh weekly.

wighed in today at docs,down another 11 lbs!!sleeved oct 6th,very happy,getting closer and closer to goal!!!

im going to try the strawberry cheesecake one and make the cake with it.theres a great recipe on quest website for cakes made from the bars.it will be my birthday cake!!!

and most of the biggest losers regain most of there weight.my neighbor did.
