Good luck! You will shine! Best thing I ever did!

I'm in. Weight 179. Goal weight 170

Good luck. I will be so happy you did it. I have no regrets. Remember to walk walk walk.

I started loosing a lot of hair around the three month mark. Now I don't wash my hair as often because I loose huge amounts every time I wash it. This was the worst day...

Atontor,

Did you have any weight loss stalls? I'm 3 weeks post op and in my first 2 weeks I lost 18 lbs but this last week I stalled and haven't lost anything. I'm worried. My doc said I should work out until 6 weeks and I am following all the guidelines. Any advice?

Yes, I stalled right about at that time. It is natural. Don't worry. The weight will the come off.

Awesome! Have you had any stomach issues after surgery such as dumping syndrome or diarrhea? I'm worried about those for my upcoming surgery.

No issues like that. As a matter of fact I had IBSD and now it is gone. So all my bathroom issues have been resolved. Now I get constipated occasionally but I take a. Still softener and I am ok. ????

Down 46 since July. Best decision I ever made! 28th

My surgeon wants me to take a chewable multivitamin with Iron. Do any of these have iron?

2 month update. I had my surgery on July 28th.

Thank you for all the awesome comments! Having this sleeve was the best decision ever! No regrets! The only regret is that I didn't do it sooner! ????????????????????

Hey folks! I'm happy to report that I have lost exactly 40 pounds since my surgery two months ago! Here is a picture taking today compared to one taken seven days before my surgery.

Hello. I can not tolerate meatballs and they cause me to vomit. I assume it has to do with breadcrumbs. I am two months post op. Will I ever be able to eat meatballs again? If so, how long did it take you to be able to eat them? Thank you in advance. ????????????

Good luck!

You will all be fine. I had my sleeve on July 28th and u have no regrets almost 40 pounds later. You will shine and be happier than ever.

My friend that had it down and was expected to lose 90 pounds but ended up losing 180 told me to think of our weight loss as a staircase, you will maintain them lose, maintain then lose. Sometimes its a day sometimes its a few days sometimes it a week, as long as we keep focus on the Proteins, Water, stress level ( yes my dr said thats important too ????) and walk. we will all be successful! Hope this helps! Wish you all lots of success! ????

Thanks. That correlation is quite helpful.

Thanks for the advice! How long to the stalls usually last?

I'm on my sixth week and haven't lost anything this week. Any suggestions?

I am eating soft foods this week and I will be able to eat regular food soon. I have been eating a lot of fish, egg salad, tuna salad, scallops, hummus, Soup, mashed potato, spinach, watermelon, Protein shake, cottage cheese, eggs, cold cuts, guacamole, etc.

You are doing great!

Thanks!

Hi all. I am six weeks post op tomorrow. Here is my before and after pic. The first pic was taken a week before my surgery on July 28th. The second pic was taken today. I lost 32 pounds so far and feel great.

I am stalling at week five. I have not lost any weight since Monday! It is frustrating and I hope it will pass. I have lost 31 pounds so far.
