Thank you for those encouraging comments..I was starting to get a little worried and i am only 5 weeks out. I hear a lot of stories..good and bad..so this question and answers was one I hadn't run across but good for the soul ... Great job on your success stories ladies...LOVE to hear it!!!!!!

I WAS SLEEVED NOV 9TH AND FEEL BLAH...I HAVE REACHED MY STALL I AM GOING TO INCORPORATE EXERCISE NEXT WEEK SINCE I WAS RELEASED FROM DOCTOR TO MOVE FORWARD.. I KNOW I NEED MORE Protein BUT AT TIMES AFTER I EAT MY PROTEIN (shakes ARE LITTLE TO BE DESIRED) I FEEL I AM NOT HUNGRY. I THINK MY TRICK IS THE WAY I SPACE MY Calcium (CARAMEL) CHEWS OUT THAT HELPS CRAVE MY HUNGER...9AM,2PM AND 8PM..WITH MY Multivitamin AT 5:30AM (EARLY RISER FOR WORK ).. HOPE THE HUNGER GETS BETTER FOR YOU..I JUST HOPE MY STALL PASSES..

Prayers for patience, will power and healthy recovery : D Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

We are here for you!!!! Everyone does not get it.. My family got together for anything and food was always the focal point...I was always the heavy sibling and thought i was comfortable with it but never talked about my weight to anyone because it was okay... for them... 20yr struggle and 3 yrs research I decided to take this journey... I spoke about it on occasion to a couple family members and friends and negative city started..oh my gosh ... So i stopped talking about it and started talking to God and my doctors (surgeon team and PCP). My health was becoming an issue and Feb.16th I started the insurance requirements and Nov 9th was my date and I have NO REGRETS!!!! You have to make this life journey for you (won't be easy and you will have stalls but your determination..yes I'm claiming it...your determination will win) and they will come around...if not...look in the mirror and say ..YOU GO GIRL !!!!!! I GOT THIS!!!! Good Luck !!!!!!!

Yes the taste buds are going haywire after surgery. I am 6 weeks out and just now getting some taste buds adjusted. If you take Calcium chews try and space them out..they help me with the sweet taste (1500 daily so I take at 9am, 2pm and 8pm) it seems to help (love the caramel but they have other flavors) and then if necessary sugar free Popsicle. Good luck with everything and yes 8lbs is great...Just think of it this why....could you have lost that much in 1 week before surgery...That is how i look at it, don't compare your journey with others (just learn from them) Welcome to the Losers Club!!!!!

good luck to you... you got this !!!!!

Amazing ...keep up the great work!!!! I am 5wks out and HATE the protein shakes as well...

Hope I keep finding post to uplift people on this site n not tear people down (there really is a difference between a joke n making someone out to ridicule because as humans we all do things we regret..whether its food or life Experiences.. Some are stronger than others..cuddos to you... but other (I have my faults) peoples weaknesses should not be frowned upon because you got this and they struggle...I wish everyone the best In this journey and every obstacle they face...

Don't hesitate to vent on your journey..this process is hard for ALL of us..some handled it different but it doesn't make them better..I'm sure we all tried something we shouldn't have during our process ..no matter where in the process we are..some just in the closet with it..Best of luck to you..and keep on BP to read the answers you seek..

I'm 4 weeks out and I stalled 3wks in and at my month f/up I lost 29.8 lbs (I'm calling it 30lb), dieticians says we will go through a lot of stalls as our diet change and activities.. I don't weigh myself as often as you so because the scale stresses me out..always have..only weigh once a week but I can tell in my clothes more than anything..down in inches and a pants size.. that excited me more than that scale!

I chose the sleeve because I researched for 3yrs on a procedure n struggled 20yrs on my weight..My decision for permanent was a 3yr process..the thought of a plastic to stop me from eating n periodic tightening just didnt sit right with me..any decision you make..make it for you and what you can live with...good luck to you..
