  1. I’m 5 weeks out and I wish I could eat this much perhaps if I could my weight would come off faster. I eat 6 small “meals” a day. I’m trying but most of the time I’m either starving or not hungry at all. I see my nut next week, I’ll pump her for answers.

    Post op pain when walking

    I had the same pain and got an abdominal binder and it worked like a charm. I’m a month post op and no longer need it....plus it’s way too big now for me to use!

    Weight loss stall 3 weeks post- OP

    Yes I agree but it’s so hard to comprehend that I’ve had major surgery and this is the initial result. Honestly speaking I have a bit of buyer’s remorse because I’m afraid I’ll be “that person” who only loses 20lbs. from surgery after 16 months. It’s hard and I know it’ll happen but to see people who had surgery after I did and they’re already down 20lbs and I’m struggling to hit 20lbs and I’m following my diet to a T, it’s crazy. Just taking this day by day, doing research and believing in the process.

    Weight loss stall 3 weeks post- OP

    Wow it’s great to hear that I’m not the only one having the same issues. I was sleeved 12/18 and initially lost 12lbs. Then I gained 2lbs and stalled until last week when I saw my nutritionist. I’m in purée phase and she gave me the ok to eat fruits and veggies of course puréed. It seems like when I did the increase in fiber and calories broke my stall and I lost 5lbs. in 3 days. Now I’m 4 days from a month and have only lost 16lbs. as of today. I feel defeated at times because I lost 50lbs in my 6 month pre-op but hopefully this will change.

    Yay Me!!!!

    Just an update...I lost 50lbs prior to my surgery on 12/18/17. I’ve lost an additional 10bs since surgery. This has been an amazing journey.

    Yay Me!!!!

    I'm so happy!!!! I went for my second visit and have lost 14lbs. Two visits down...4 more to go! It's been hard eliminating my beloved carbs but I've been so disciplined this last month. I feel as if I have turned a new leaf. I just need to maintain the momentum and motivation.

    No she is not. She has her own practice however she does her surgery at NYU Langone.

    I ended up being sleeved by her, she’s an excellent surgeon!!!!
  9. Hang in there I promise it will get better! My surgery was 12/18/17 and although I didn’t regret it immediately I did have some regrets this week because I haven’t lost a pound in a week. Saw my Nut today and she explained a lot of things that made sense and has put me at ease. Trust in the process...I know I am and although I haven’t seen much weight loss post-op I have already lost 50lbs. pre-op and can see my feet again!

    Nose piercing and surgery

    I have a nipple piercing and this never occurred to me until this moment. Damn it's been 15 years since I got it and I have never taken it out. I do clean it daily when I shower. Damn I may just leave it out afterwards.

    Thanks for the feedback. Just sitting in a exam room for an hour, being told that someone would call your insurance to see if you do in fact have to wait the 6 months and no one ever calling you back, plus paying $52 in parking because of the wait was just a bit much. But I will give her another chance. From my research it appears she's amazing.

    Hi everyone...I'm in Bx and new to all of this. I had a consult with Marina Kurian. I like her but her staff has turned me off. I actually go back on Tuesday and I'm hoping that it is a better visit. I'm down 10lbs since my initial consultation with her.
