It's getting really slow and I have a bunch of silly self critical complaints but BEST DECISION EVER!!!! (now to fix these boobs)

I have also found that I seem to lose more weight when up the calories a little. Might be a coincidence.

I found if I eat more I lose more! All comments above are valid. You just keep putting one foot in front of the other darl. Support is the best. So if ya fall over someone on here will pick you up! Go for it!

I've learned that when we hold onto something and aren't willing to let it go, in some way, shape, or form, we are getting something from it. Doesn't mean that is good or bad, it just is. You obviously want to lose the weight or you would not have had surgery. One step at a time is all you need.

We have a partnership with our sleeves. If we do our part by meeting Protein and liquid goals, the sleeve will do its part to help us lose weight. Exercise will help us build strong muscles which will replace the fat.
Self motivation is the best motivation. It is probably a good time to dig a little deeper and work on why you aren't doing your part the best you can.

No idea, my bariatric team ordered me to stay off the scales for the first four weeks ("weighing will just give you stress and anxiety") and I complied.

I was worried, too. 2 weeks out, and there was no food that I found that I could not tolerate. Then one evening for dinner, I finally crossed the line of how far I could go. It came back up, IMMEDIATELY. Now I am very careful that I don't get to that point. I also found myself feeling hungry almost immediately after I would eat, which put me in a total panic. One reason that I opted for the sleeve was that it supposedly cut down on ghrelin, the hormone that makes you hungry. The scale was stuck on the same number for a week, and I know it was because of the extra calories I was eating because I felt like I was hungry. A lot of people on here suggested acid blockers for the hunger pangs. I've started taking Prilosec, and it has definitely helped take the edge off. The scale started moving again and I lost 2 pounds in 2 days. Last night for dinner, I had 4 oz. of salmon (which has a whopping 23 grams of protein), and about a half cup of broiled zucchini, yellow squash and tomatoes. And drink, drink, drink that Water. It drives me crazy because I feel like I spend half of my life in the bathroom, but it really does help.

I'm going to be completely honest. I had a band and I also had it removed because it was not working the doctor converted me.to a gastric sleeve. I never felt full I was always hungry and eat normally no restrictions. 2 years later never lost a pound. I didnt give up After frequent visits with my surgeon I told him I wanted to see what the problem was, I've had two weight loss surgeries and I'm still FAT. So he did a revision of my sleeve. I'm finally feeling what every one else is 2 Oz of food and I feel full. A Protein shake would NEVER fill me up. NOW I'm full.

I had the band in 2009 and just had it removed Dec '15 due to intolerance, now I'm waiting for the sleeve, hopefully September sometime, and my biggest worry is this same thing! I've already had 1 WLS fail I really don't want this one to fail. Did your Dr specify why you needed a revision to your new sleeve? I'm really nervous I'm going to follow all the rules and won't have any weight loss as this is what happened with my lap band towards the end. Congrats on getting your new sleeve finally working for you! Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App

My experiences are completely opposite. Before surgery, on drink would have got me buzzed with red cheeks. After surgery I can drink like a horse and practically nothing. Not even red cheeks. This weekend I went out and had 8-10 drinks and was not drunk. My friend who went with me and who had the same number of drinks but does not have the sleeve was wasted and was falling and puking everywhere.

I'm about 2 weeks out has anyone done light Zumba im.very active???

How much have u lost I had surgery 8/8 and I feel the same way. My stomach is swollen I think it's because I'm constipated.

I don't give advice but I certainly will pray that you make the right decisions for your family and self. I'm sorry for what you are going through and if you are a believer, the Father will guide you through this. Best wishes on your surgery, your emotional well being, and your family.

I was sleeved 8.3.16 just looking for others who have been sleeved around my date.

I also live alone and it didn't cause any problems after surgery. I did have some pain and had to literally hold my belly with my hand if I wanted to bend but that was about the worst of it. I kept a long pair of bbq tongs handy for when I dropped things on the floor so I didn't have to bend too far

well possibly - but that is irrelevant since you need to get the Constipation resolved in any case!
what are you taking for the constipation?

Yes the milk of mag helped me but i still am very constipated so i take collace snd my doctor recommended taking benefiber with everymeal 4-5 a day
Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App

good, that should get things moving along well. I struggled with Constipation for several months after surgery but as my dietary choices became more varied all I need now is a stool softener and benefiber.
