Mine started at the end of month 1. I've been taking biotin to help. It isn't noticable to anyone else. Just noticable to me.

I gained 5 after surgery, lost that then a few more pounds. I hit a stall at week 2 & 3 post op. The scale would go back & forth 2 to 3 pounds. I got really discouraged but decided to keep track of inches lost. Even though the scale wasn't moving, the inches were still disappearing. When I had my month follow up & weighed in this past Wednesday the scale dropped lower than I thought it would. I lost 10 on the pre op diet & 22 post op. My surgeon told me the typical weight loss expectation in a month is 10 pounds. I have always been the type of person who constantly checked the scales, but now I check it once every 2 weeks & I check the measurements once a week & sometimes only when I weigh in. Keep a journal & track your progress it is encouraging to see that progress laid out in front of you. You will do great!! Hang in there!! You've got this!! Sent from my LG-H631 using Tapatalk

Hi everyone, I am a week away from the gastric sleeve surgery with Dr. Oldham @ Baptist East Hospital in Louisville, KY. Just curious to see who all else has went with Dr. Oldham & how they are doing on this journey. Dr. Oldham has been amazing, I couldn't imagine anyone better! I am excited to take the next step with surgery. Would love to hear about everyone's journey. ???? April

Thank you!Aw, I am so excited for you! Once your insurance is approved you'll be schedule for surgery in a matter of weeks. I had to go through 7 months of seeing a nutritionists for my insurance. It will be here before you know it. Keep us posted on how you're doing. I think Dr. Oldam is pretty amazing! He seems to sincerely care about his patients. Sent from my LG-H631 using Tapatalk

Hi Everyone! I am April. I'm 28 years old & 2 weeks out from surgery for the gastric sleeve. My surgery date is November 9th, with Dr. Oldham in Louisville, KY. His office has been amazing through this journey so far. Today is day #1 of the pre-op liquid diet. Does anyone have any tips or suggestions going into surgery or post-op? Also recommendations for protien supplement? I have been considering the whey Liquid Protien Shots... Thank you in advance! ???? Sent from my LG-H631 using Tapatalk

I love mine! Sent from my LG-H631 using Tapatalk

So happy for you!! Congrats!! Sent from my LG-H631 using Tapatalk

So sorry you are going through that! I am 2 weeks pre-op & my surgeon has everyone start a medincine he prescribes to prevent gallstones. We take it 2 weeks before & 6 months after surgery. Maybe be something to check into with your surgeon/dr.I hope you feel better soon!!! Sent from my LG-H631 using Tapatalk

Thank you so much!! ???? Sent from my LG-H631 using Tapatalk

Thank you! I am so glad you are happy with everything. That is encouraging. I fully intend on doing everything they say. My surgeon said not to expect much sleep the night of surgery, because a nurse will come & get me walking every hour or two. He also recommended once home to walk everytime a commercial comes on for the full length of that, because it will add up quickly. I am more excited than anything, just want to do everything right. Wishing you continued success!! Keep me posted on how it's going. Sent from my LG-H631 using Tapatalk

Thank you!My surgeon is having me drink 5 high protien Meal Replacements a day & if needed 1/2 cup of low carb veggies like green Beans. I started today with mine also. I wish you all of the best!! Let me know how it goes! Sent from my LG-H631 using Tapatalk
