Thanks NTW. I will try my best to get it end. I can't stand chapped lips. It's driving me crazy.

Thanks Ldyvenus. I will push more Water in.

I was sleeved on 1/17/17. My consult weight was 246, and my surgery weight was 231. I am now down to 216. Only 15 lbs lost since surgery day, and that is because I was stalled weeks 2 and 3. Didn't lose anything! I am now losing again, but it is at a rate of about 2-3 lbs per week.

Hi out there, I was sleeved on January 18/17 and I'm now about 5 weeks post op. At my 1 month check up I was down 28 lbs. from 281lbs to 253lbs. I'm wondering how people are feeling and eating/drinking? I still get some pain or like a tightening feeling in my chest or what feels like my lower esophagus?? I also am having a hard time keeping foods down. Tonight I had a little chicken and broccoli and it didn't stay down. Am I rushing the solids? I feel sick after every "meal". I notice I am hungry more often, like every two hrs. But can only eat a few bites of solid food and then I'm satisfied but usually uncomfortable. I try my best to not mix liquid close to any meals but sometimes I feel like the food is stuck after I swallow because I can't wash it down with any liquid. Does this relate to anyone? I don't know of anyone personally that has had this surgery and I'm wondering if this is normal in the beginning and when to expect these symptoms to subside.

Black2028-Take it slow. I remember going through that just as well. I thought I was crazy for doing it but now I realize it's up to me to make these serious changes. Give it some more time Black and be positive. I'm here if you need to chat.

Sleeved 1/31 I'm only down 12 pounds since my surgery.
It is becoming discouraging. I regret having the surgery now because I'm scared I won't loose the weight.

1/30/17-18 days out and 20 pounds down. I want the taste of some real food. Step 2--Doesn't seem that much different from Step 1.
