I know what you mean by the "visitor", same thing here. That is one reason I stay off.

I am losing inches and weight, which is great! However, I am still wearing my bigger size clothes (I fix them up where the look good), because I do not want to buy clothes yet. I want to wait until my weight loss tampers off a bit. I will buy new clothes once I slow down a bit. Just wondering how long many of you waited to buy clothes? I am thinking 3-4 months out.

Thank you for your response. That sounds like a good idea. After 3 months I will try that.

Thanks for all responses and suggestions. I will definitely wait until around 3 months, before I buy new clothes. Then I will buy a little at a time, probably will need more tops than bottoms. I am down to a Large in shirts.

Thanks for your response. If I was still in Atlanta, yes you could find sales similiar to that. In South Carolina, no sales like that here. Goodwill does have a military discount day. However, I hunt down the cheaper stores. Thrift hunter.

Thank you for your response, yes, it feels good to go to the thrift and buy things for yourself. I love vintage clothes. My mom taught me how to shop at thrift stores, been doing it since I was a teenager. I love Macy's clearance racks, truly you can get some good deals off the clearance racks at department stores.

Thank you for your response. I am thinking 3 months. I am very cheap when it comes to buying clothes, I am an ebay seller, and I am a thrift queen. I love to dress for less. I will wait until things start to fall off like you did. Wearing a good belt keeps my jeans up, they are baggy though. I am adjusting.

I had a stall for two weeks, upped my calories, and the wieght is comig off fast. Of course lots of protein as possible.

Very normal, and it will pass.I revised from the lap-band to the sleeve and as of today with preop diet included, I have lost 40lbs. I went from 230 to 190.

Hi, on the 27th I will be two months post op. I had a stall for about 2 weeks. I upped my caloric intake and the weight started to come off again. I got on the scale today, 190, I am impressed. I love my sleeve, and to God be the glory.

Hi, I am able to eat some things, I have to be careful with chicken. I drink Vitamin water dragon fruit, and regular water. Other than that the sleeve is doing its job. Congrats on your loss!

Started at 230 preop. diet, 220-225 prior to surgery, I was fluctuating. I am saying wow, because the smaller you are the slower you use, but I am amazed at the inch loss and weight loss. I revised from the lap-band to the sleeve.

Hi, upping my calories worked for me. Everybody is different.

Yes, I am six weeks post op, and my size 11s are flopping off my feet, 10 are fitting okay. I wear a 10.5, but I buy 11, probably will not be able to wear any (11) in the near future.

The drink is good, it was one thing I could drink post op. So at least I had something to get my fluids in. I don't drink it anymore, but it is delicious.

Thanks everyone, it feels good to be on the losers bench. I am so excited. My body definitely needs food to drop weight.

Hi, everyone. I have been stuck on 205 for about two weeks. I wasnt worried, because I read about stalls. My inches are dramatic though, I look smaller than the weight. I got on the scale this morning, 198, I am in onderland. I tried the gym last week and was sore than sore itself. This week I will try agin, proabably not basketball or racquet ball with the kids though. I am fitting 12s, was in sizes 14w/16 depending on how they were made. One thing I noticed was that once I was able to eat more the weight started to come off, I eat about 800-900 calories. I am feeling great. I will try to add a picture.

Hi, everyone. Okay I understand that I will be on full liquids once I leave the hospital. However on my full liquids list it says tuna and turkey blended and thinned with broth and hot cereal thinned with milk. My doctor & NUTconsiders this full liquid, has anyone else done this? Is this a full liquid? Hmmmm, I don't know.

First time i heard about a re-staple, but I thought the same thing about the complications. I am doing fine, had my surgery on 2-27. I started at 230 before preop and post op. down to 198 in 6 weeks. You will be fine, and you will not be hungry, you will want to eat more at times. I just tell myself i can eat later.

I went from lapband to sleeve, doing well. I like the sleeve better, I feel full and satisfied. Onderland today. I had the removal and revision at the same time at a military hospital. They did a great job.

I am eating healthier and I only desire good carbs and high protein foods. This is a great improvement for me, because protein was not my thing prior to surgery. Also, I had family visit yesterday, and they questioned me about my age, they wanted to be sure, I said 42. They said you look really good, I looking even younger since surgery. Loving my sleeve, can eat but just enough, feels good.

Hi, that sound so good, normally any type of fish wood make me gag. I am enjoying fish now.
