Go somewhere else. That sounds very different from my experience. You deserve a better clinic. Good luck!!

I lost 100 lbs very easily by about Nov last year after my sleeve. I’ve been stuck and going up and down about 5 lbs. I was 255 at highest, 234 at surgery and I’m 156 today. I want to hit 150, where I won’t be overweight. The holidays and then work stress didn’t help me with overeating at night and drinking wine. Wine is terrible for me and I am having a hard time to give it up. I have to find a better way to deal with my stress and can’t fall back to old habits. It’s been wonderful but it’s just a tool-now I have to do the hard work!

I had the same thing-I can’t wear curvy fit anymore. I have no ass. My ass used to get cold because it was an extremity. I’ve been doing squats to try and get a butt again. 😀

Day by day. I’m glad you are going to see your doctor. I hope they can give you some advice. I am meeting with a nutritionist on my own to make sure I stay on track. Hang in there. You can do this. I think many people have some gain back or stalls. Don’t feel like a failure, it’s part of the learning process. I have learned how easy it is for me to eat my way around my sleeve if I’m not careful. I have to be thoughtful about everything I eat or drink.

How are you doing? I gained back a few pounds over the holidays and I’m working to get back on track. I’m down a few since Jan 1st. About 4 lbs over my lowest post surgery and 10 lbs from goal.

I haven’t traveled much post surgery, but when I did, I packed up so much food for the airplane and the hotel room. I threw a lot away and I brought a lot back.

Took my 9 yo son and a friend to the park. I was flying a kite and one of his friends was there, so I let him hold the kite. His dad came over and was kind of unfriendly and told him to come with him. Realized when I went home that he didn’t recognize me with my 100 lb weight loss since spring baseball. He thought some weird stranger was hanging with his son! 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

Are you on actigal to prevent gallstones? My program had me take it for 6 months.

Thanks for this! I am up over the holidays-7 lbs. lost 2 lbs today, and want to lose another 10 to be at goal, which will be 110 lbs down from highest weight. I am purging the house of sweets post holiday and I’m going to do a dry January. Had a few cocktails and glasses of wine over the holidays.

My hair was thinning before hand, so my hair loss was pretty brutal. I was taking 10,000 U of biotin and also lysine. I started getting iron infusions and I think being anemic was part of my hair loss. It started at 3 months and by 4-5 months it was bad. BAAAAADDD. I cut my hair short and do sort of a comb over from the back (very subtle). When I went in at 6 months for a cut, my hair dresser said I had lots of baby hairs. I will never have the hair I did when I was 18, but that’s ok. Look up tellogum effluvium. When the hairs fall out it’s because new ones are coming in.

I was also hungry. I was able to eat peanut butter and hummus about a week after surgery and those were thick enough to make me feel full. I just want to give you some emotional support. I was freaking out that I was hungry and the surgery wouldn’t work for me. I felt full as soon as I could eat firmer things. I have to be careful with sliders. I have lost just over 100 lbs in 7 months. Stay strong! You got this!

I am 48, 5’5” and I was 255 lbs at my highest. I lost 21 lbs before surgery on May 9, 2018 and I am now around 153, give or take a lb. I want to get to 145 but I was slowed down by a bum knee and also the holidays. My surgeon just said I am a super responder, so I think I have lost more than most.

I got those little hummus snack cups and I ate those 3 times a day until I could eat solids.

I only regret I didn’t do it earlier. Life changing. No I have to figure out keeping it off. HW 255 SW 234 5/9/18 CW 152
