Have her reach out to her doctor to ensure there is no medical complication causing the continuation of weightloss. In rare situations Weight-loss surgery can trigger rare genetic wasting disorder. If doctors checks her/him/you out and medically everything looks good most likely will ask what the current caloric intake is, fats, carbs and sugars, as well as exercise routine to help modify it making recommendations for increased consumption in certain categories along with follow up visits to ensure everything is working to put them on track to be healthy.

I found these today at HEB

I was a revision from lap band, my surgery was Dec 10th 2012 so I'm about 4months out. Recovery had its ups and downs, I hated every creamy Protein drink, only found one I could stomach (no pun intended lol) but after 2months on them I can't drink any Protein drinks with out wanna to punch someone haha. I am still sore around my incision near my navel, makes it very hard to work out and run. But I do when I can. I'm a slow loser but started out with a lower weight since I was a revision from evil band complications. Dec weight 198.5, current 169. I have more I need to lose since I'm only 5'3" but am healthier now and with out all the sickness I had for 5 years with the band.
I tolerate food better now and still can't eat certain things but its bad stuff I have no business eating (ie fried foods, sugary ect) I can finally handle my coffee again and can eat meat, though certain ones I handle better than others. You'll have your moments of regret that is VERY fleeting when your eating a delicious meal and its that moment that 3bites makes you full and sick to your stomach. Then I get mad because I want to be able to eat lol, then their are days that I can eat a nice plate of crawfish lol. It's hit and miss. But over all best decision I ever made, I really wish I would have gotten this originally but having the demon band hell has helped me know how to eat proper size portions, chew chew chew and appreciate how this is a true tool and gift to have had done.

Heck I'd be happy to be 50+ down. I'm 13wks and 27.7lbs down lol. We all lose differently

Same, I'm little over 2mo post op and not having the issues I had in the past with my iBS

I bet that the contestants on the show all have had bypass or vsg! I will find the truth! If you don't hear from me in a few days then they've found me! Continue my research and trust no one! Especially extremely fit people!

Hey sweetie, I had my hell band for 5yrs. Lots of complications, sickness, pain ect. Had it removed & was sleeved Dec 10th 2012. I'm doing gets very few complications, 10000000 times better than that stupid band, feel so much better. I'm a slow looser down 27.2lbs but love it!

So little over 2months out, losing very VERY slow lol. But down 25.7lbs 50lbs more to go.

So it's 4 days past my 2 month mark & finally hit 25lbs down
Hoping to drop another 25 in next 2 months, started gym again & did Latin heat last night, so fun

I have a WW one. Make sure you get one where it gives you body fat %, etc. I like seeing that number go down too.

So looks like I'll be on weekly B12 shots, luckily my fiancé doesn't mind doing it. Gave me my first one today. Wasn't as bad as I thought it would be
Hoping ill start feeling the B12 benefits tomorrow

Yes sucks but think of how totally sexy youre gonna be for the next Super Bowl

Oh holy crap bat man. I didn't think about my tattoos. I'm gonna have a withered long stem rose on my boob. And my butterfly on my back is gonna look like a buzzard on my crack.

Omg I thought I was gonna die laughing

Is it ok to ask the doc to save the remains of my stomach and give it to me so I can make a wallet or a pair of slippers or something? Or would it be wrong?

It's funny you should bring up cravings. I was at my mom's house on Sunday and saw a bananna in the fruit bowl. And I must have had the same look on my fase as the dog in the Beggin Strips commercial. I was so exicted to see that bananna. I don't keep them in my house, so I was really surprised at how much I wanted that bananna.

Give it time, after first month you start to feel like a "normal person" I was sleeved Dec 10th 2012, I finally do feel normal. Heck my fiancé and I went out for crawfish the other night and it was my first meal I didn't feel sick or like I wasted money. It's a day to day process that I'm sure soon enough you'll be grateful you took you health in your hands, diets fail us but a life change is an amazing tool.

Things I never thought I'd say, I now can not stand the following:
Simi, milk or dark chocolate, makes me gag
pizza
coffee
pudding
Ice cream
Nachos
chips
Brownies
I have sampled these items from my fiancé & son and I do not like them any more lol. Which of course is a good thing but never thought I'd say that.
I crave & love
Bananas
Kale
popcorn
Pickles
Tea
Shrimp
Crawfish

That's great! Last week I went to the seminar for the surgery and the doctor said "sometimes peoples taste buds change". A lady who has had the bypass spoke to our group and she said she was a big sweet eater before surgery now, cant' stand it! I can only wish!
