I had the sleeve done May 18th of this year and have lost a total of 56 pounds. I have now realized i’m having body image issues. I feel like i have no curves and my body looks square. I obviously am no where near my goal weight just yet so i know my body will change especially if i keep going to the gym, but did anyone else go through this weird mental phase? I basically feel like my weight loss has given me an unflattering body shape.

I'm having a hard time losing weight in my arms and back fat. Does anyone have recommendations for certain exercises? I really hate my arms right now and feel like i'm losing everywhere but my arms.

I am officially 2months post op with a total loss of 36 pounds. I am starting to feel discouraged and feel like this is all i am going to lose. Can anyone offer some insight? I really want to increase my activity level even more starting next week. (workout outdoors and the heat has been crazy) I follow a lot of lovely ladies on Instagram that really motivate and inspire me to stay positive. I guess since i want to be successful so bad i start to let my mind mess with me. Did anyone else have times where they felt this way?

I've tried the chewable multivitamin and it made me vomit, i switched over to capsules and that too made me sick. HELP! any recommendations? can i try the gummies?

so there are days where my restriction is real lol i could barely eat a full cheese stick some days but today i had two tacos and felt okay [emoji21] i'm not sure if it's because of my menstrual cycle coming soon that my hunger is getting the best of me? I'm just curious if any of you have experienced this. for dinner yesterday i had a salad and was barely able to finish the whole thing mind you it was a side salad. i don't want this to become my norm and i start stretching my pouch out. any opinions? comments? i'll be 2months post op on the 18th.

I am 1 month and a couple days post op and have lost about 30lbs. I have already started noticing my underarms getting very flabby ☹️ my arms have always been an insecurity and although i'm glad they are getting smaller the loose skin isn't helping. Does anyone have suggestions on what i can do exercise wise? Did any of you start any exercise specifically to your arms to prevent very loose skin? help!

thank you girls so much!!!! reading these messages made my morning!!

i want to fall in love with my body but the more i stand in front of the mirror i notice things i'm not starting to like. I'm only 24 and my breasts are starting to sag and it's turning into an insecurity. I totally forgot about those arm shapers so i'm definetly going to look into those. Good luck with everything! thanks so much for your input!

Hi guys, I was sleeved May 18th and have lost a total of 21 pounds since surgery. Now i have noticed it slow down a lot. Does it pick back up? I get negative thoughts in my head like "ok this is all i'm gnna lose" but try to tell myself otherwise. Any opinions/personal experiences?

omg me too! i hate protein drinks i've only been doing one a day im supposed to be doing 3. but... i did see one girl get frozen fruit and put that in a blender with the chocolate premier protein drink and it looked good so i was gnna try that

Did anyone experience rectal bleeding when having a bowel movement post surgery?

I'm going shopping tonight for Stage 3 foods. Can anyone give me ideas on what to get? meal ideas?

Does anyone else have issues with pain with certain incisions? I was sleeved May 18th and the one incision where they pulled my stomach out of still hurts. it's an internal pain and it's almost like an intense cramp.
