Hang in there, sometimes the hardest thing you'll ever do is also the best. One year from now when your mind and body have adjusted and you are feeling svelte and healthy, you will say "it was worth it". Be well

You'll be surprised how much you save on food.

Stop whining, this is not a sprint, it's a cross country rest of your life journey. Stay off the scale except once a week and do what you're supposed to do. Let your body adjust. Your sleeve is working just fine.

I like I've lost about 2/3 of my hair and it keeps falling out. When does it stop?? 7 months post op.

This is a great question!

Sounds like your colon, that's the area where you would feel pain. Could be you have a little infection or inflammation. I'd have it checked out.

Easy peasy.

I am two months post op and have lost 25 pounds. That's right 25. Not everybody loses vast amounts quickly. Slow and steady. That is 1/3 of my goal. Just keep putting one foot in front of the other.

I think this is the cruellest thing. Are you allowed to take weight loss medication?

I was scared too. I puked up a scrambled egg but I could eat thin slices of cheese. You get a bit better everyday. Go slowly. Eat yogurt. Chew thoroughly.

That rumbly grumbly thing... I had it too. I was outraged as I'd been led to believe on these posts that I wouldn't be hungry. It diminishes over the next couple of weeks. I think your tummy is outraged and is trying to win. The bread and pasta thing is because in order to loose fat and not muscle you need to lay off the carbs and eat protein and veggies. Stop being mad. You're on the path to being super happy.

GO. The one thing I hear is "I wish I'd done this sooner". Go!

@@mrs kaje I'm not sure why you think you have the right to tell people what they should and should not be doing. And to come here, where we should be free of shame and then shame people seems pretty disrespectful to me.

According to my labs the vitamin patch is working great! I just add a chewable calcium. Can't take any iron yet, constipation.

So Cal, surgery was at Marina Del Rey Hosp.
