I am 5’2” and starting weight was 270 I had sleeve done in March. I weigh 150 now. My goal was 130 but after talking to my primary doctor and surgeon we changed my goal to 145 due to looking too skinny and unhealthy. So I am 5 lbs from goal

I am 47. Had sleeve done in March down 120lbs as of today

I started out at 270 I am 150 now. At first my goal was 130 but I talked with my primary doctor and surgeon and we all agree 145 is my goal weight. I feel I would be too skinny and unhealthy looking at 130.

Yes I have it. I needed to show medical history for 5 yrs. had to do the nutrition class and the phyc. evaluation. I had my 1st consult with surgeon on Jan 4,2018 and had my surgery done on March 22,2013. Approval went very fast once everything required was turned in.

You look great! Keep it up. I saw my surgeon Thursday. I’ve lost 105lbs. We changed my goal weight. When we first talked back in January it was 135 goal weight. Now I personally think at that weight I will look too skinny. So we agreed upon 145lbs... my primary doc agreed on Friday since I went for a physical I am not big on pics so I don’t take many. Maybe I will when I'm done

Doing good down 108 lbs. Over 52inches down in all areas of my body. I still have to slow myself down while eating. I’ve always ate fast. I did develop acid reflux afterwards so I take meds for that daily. Have not started lifting weights but I should have. I work around the house cleaning/cooking plus outside taking care of 6. alpacas and gardening. How about you?

Definitely go get fluids! Dehydrated for sure is my bet. You look great but not being able to eat 1 grape is not good. Need more Protein intake. Really need to talk to Dr maybe you have an obstruction that is restricting you food and drink intake. Glad to hear you get your Vitamins. I struggle getting mine.
I had surgery in March 2018. I have lots of Hair loss now. Which starting out with thin/fine hair already is disheartening.

I think I read somewhere that is a Vitamin C issue.... but cannot remember where it was that I saw this.

I weigh once a week on Thursdays (which was surgery day).

Change to another dr. If your dr is not with you then he is against you. But you can always ask him.... and he says no then ask why. My pcp has been with me for over 28 yrs. they know everything i’ve Tried!!! And failed

Dr said if I felt I could then go ahead.

It depends on how things go and if you have a problem with anesthesia. However I had no issues but I think it took them more than an hour to release me after the procedure with recovery and filling out paperwork. They also tell you not to drive or make any important decisions since you were under and to go home and rest with someone watching you for the rest of the day.

I feel like that every time I eat. I do not feel sick or anything. I lay down to rest for 15 to 30 minutes then I feel fine. I wonder if my body is just working hard to digest.
