I had my surgery 8/31 . Had no complications , down 56 pounds and feel great . This month I will be lucky if I lose 10 pounds . I am down 8 with my next weigh in 11/15. Stayed at 230 for almost 3 weeks then dropped 8 pounds over 3 days. And now I am stuck at 221 . So frustrating !! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I ate some fruit Snacks. I'm so disappointed in myself . Does that count as candy ? They were organic if that makes it any better Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I really want to purchase one . I have a knockoff brand (acer ) is the actual Fitbit brand better . Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Same here , last week I was 227, then Monday 223,Wednesday back up to 227. But today I was 221 . I feel it in my clothes so I usually go by that and only pay attention to the scale at doctor weigh ins . Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Would anyone be willing to share with me what they would normally eat in one day . I am 8 weeks out and 55 pounds down but getting very bored . I would love to hear what you all are eating for Breakfast lunch and dinner . Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

For 3 weeks the scale didn't budge an ounce , then finally this week down 7 pounds . Sticking to program with no hunger . But my question : does another stall start since I did lose 7 pounds or will I continue to lose weight weekly ? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I chewed sugar free gum the whole pre op diet . I was very careful not to swallow it . It was a very helpful and didn't make me hungry at all . Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

How much did it cost ? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am 5 1/2 weeks post op and down 30 lbs . The scale hasn't moved in a week and a half I am getting so frustrated . ;(. How much Protein am I supposed to be having . My nut told me 55 grams and to also eat steamed veggies with my protein . I was cleared for full solids but I don't eat any breads etc and follow low carbs and low sugar usually less than 5% per serving . How do I break the stall ??

Well it finally happened . I have only been back to work for 2 weeks. I am one month post op, and 30 pounds down. I was talking to one of my co-workers , she told me I looked really good and to keep up the good work. Then she continued to say "you know what everyone in the office is saying right?" Then told me that they were talking about you and said they think you had a bypass surgery . I chose not to tell anyone because I just don't feel it's their business . And I was sleeved anyway. I only told who mattered husband kids parents sisters . We work in a hospital so it's a big place . I told her I have been exercising and eating healthy . She didn't seem to care if I did or didn't . I told her I am honored that they were concerned but how come they can talk behind closed doors but not one has said you look good or are you sick nothing or in fact asked why I was out for a month. How do they know I'm not sick or something ? They actually made my day knowing that they have nothing else to do except talk about my weight loss . But here's my problem now I can't stand "the office people" and want to tell them off one by one . I can't help think that someone researched my doctors name off of my letter for my time off, because the 30 lbs is not that noticeable that one would think oh she had surgery . I'm not good at this stuff !! How do I handle it , do I ignore , do I assume they know for a fact and if they do that's a hippa violation if they researched. Or do I have some quick answers ready to give back to them ????? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

As I left my post op appt the receptionist said "and don't forget to stay off the scale " . I have heard this before but just nodded and smiled . I am realizing that I am obsessed with my scale . I jump on it a few times a day . Sometimes happy and sometimes disappointed , but always knowing "where I'm at " . What is the reason for this "rule" ??? How often do you guys weigh yourself ?

Oh I don't think .... I know !!! I work in a place where people have no boundaries . They are always talking about peoples rears, tattoos, makeup , lunch , weight etc. I make to much money and get to much time off to leave and I am union . So I just don't listen or join in . I know they will ask how did u lose weight so fast ?? Just don't feel like answering Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Your not going to really get much Protein in that way and probably will consume more sugar than necessary . Focus on protein first . Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Have to go back to work Wednesday Really not looking forward to anyone's smart ass comments or questions . Or in fact staring . I am down 25 lbs since I left 3 weeks ago . Come on everyone I need some good comebacks since I chose not to tell anyone at work . Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My stomach was and still is numb , but getting better every day !! I was sleeved 8/31 Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Is it true that you really don't get the true full feeling until you are on solid foods and the nerves in your stomach heal ?? I'm on puréed. I know when to stop but I Don't get that "full" feeling that everyone talks about . I'm 3 weeks post op Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My surgeons office told me to watch the % . That fat and carbs should be less than 5%. But high in Protein and of course little or no sugars . Is this correct ? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Good luck !! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hmmm my surgeon specifically said no carbonated beverages EVER . I gave up Diet Coke after my first surgeons appt . I think if I tried it I would get hooked again . Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My nut was very overweight and I had a hard time absorbing any info from her . I am just strictly following my surgeons rules . Unfortunately I am only allowed to see the nut 3 times a year with my insurance . But they paid for my sleeve 100% Go figure ...... Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My nut told me to follow these 3 rules and I will have no problems ; 1) high Protein 2) if possible sugar free 3) keep fat and carbs under 5% I have been following these three and I am down 35 lbs since 8/17 Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
