  1. Congratulations. What is your actual concern ?You saw your stomach so what could be wrong ? You don't have an issue with fluids that leads to alot of people being dehydrated and re admitted into hospital.. I would be thankful. I don't know why. Probably because all humans are different and rexover differently I struggled unbearably. Some people have issues with fluids some don't.
  2. First month I was painfully hungry. It was part of my healing. Yes some people never feel hunger some people do. I don't mind . I rarely feel hunger now 4 months out. But when I do I think I could eat a horse. Two bites later I'm stuffed..so that's the difference..feeling hunger isn't the be all and end all. It's okay
  3. Why would anyone be mad at you ? And hmm I'm not sure what could cause it but keep an eye on it and perhaps get it checked if it continues.
  4. Any more information? How long have you stalled ? What's your daily eating like ? What are your stats and how long post ? Stalls can be for no reason. But also they can be a reason so the answer depends on the Individual..but knowing the reason makes it easier to fix if there is one.
  5. What do you eat a day and how much
  6. How would you know your eating to much ? It's very simple. Weighing your food. Then eating more than you weigh.( If say your team say eat under 4 ounces) That is how you know. You shouldn't eat more if you feel you can. It's a sure thing your fine if you don't go over your recommendation. If you have no recommendation protein first veggies second you will be fine
  7. Your so kind ! I appreciate it. Thanks so much
  8. Is upto 900 what your doctor told you to have ? I'm 4 months post 800 Cal's or less a day 58lbs down. Edit. Just realised your not the op lol oops sorry. How far are you ?
  9. Good luck. Im 4 months post. 58lbs down. Best thing ever
  10. You don't need to go onto protein shakes you need to practice the basics again if PROTEIN first no more than 4 ounces. Whats your daily eating like ?
  11. Are you getting enough fluids in ?? It's not fat you gained so don't worry. I wouldn't even be weighing this early as your still healing.
  12. Similar starting weight. I was told light weights lose slower generally and may stall more. As we have less to lose. Keep up the good work.
  13. Unfortunately. There was some abnormalities. So they did several different biopsies I will get the results back in 3 weeks .
  14. I'm in the UK so the test is free. I'm 26 so not in any particular needed group.
  15. I am fully aware of that. I'm making it clear that the 4 ounces rule does not apply to liquids.
  16. Sorry for your loss how much post was the first pregnancy Sent from my Vivo 5R using BariatricPal mobile app
  17. How do you accidentally hit block ? I still can't figure out how to block someone lol tell me how it doesn't seem easy enough to be an accidental lol Sent from my Vivo 5R using BariatricPal mobile app
  18. I've never been constipated other than when I first.came home. So nothing I have experienced I would call worse as the positive outway the negatives Sent from my Vivo 5R using BariatricPal mobile app
  19. May I ask your daily eating. Weldone for your success ! Sent from my Vivo 5R using BariatricPal mobile app
  20. So 135lbs is my goal weight. Sent from my Vivo 5R using BariatricPal mobile app
  21. That's not how all doctor's do it. Excess weight for me was calculated by what weight I'd be at 24 Bmi . Subtract my current surgery day weight. Then 70percent of that. Sent from my Vivo 5R using BariatricPal mobile app
  22. How much do you weigh ? And what do you eat per day ? Your weightloss is great. Some lose faster depending on size. I srarted off 244 now 186lbs so almost 60lbs in 4 months. I'm sure it would have been more if I tracked all the time. But my team don't require me to. I don't exersise. Some may lose slower on the scale when building muscle.

  23. I don't know what you will have. You need to check with your surgeon. I did not have a drain. I have seen many have them. I wouldn't prepare pureed food. I did. And ended up throwing them out. Your taste buds changes so you need to see what you like at the time. Sent from my Vivo 5R using BariatricPal mobile app
  24. I've had a sleeve and 70 percent of my excess weight will be 76lbs loss by 12 months. I've already lost almost 60lbs and I'm 4 months post. Granted it slows down as time goes on..but I'm pretty sure I'll lose more than predicted. And many people lose 100 percent of there excess weight I wouldn't think about it to much. Just stick to your plan. Sent from my Vivo 5R using BariatricPal mobile app
  25. What are your stats I'm on the app so can't see if it's in the side Sent from my Vivo 5R using BariatricPal mobile app
