That's awesome for you, I'm so happy for you! Can I ask how tall you are? My sister had the sleeve in July of 2019 and she has gotten to the point where I consider her too small. She obsesses about everything she eats. If she has "the munchies" she'll eat a lemon drop to get a different taste in her mouth so she won't want to eat. I'm worried she has gone too far and may have an eating disorder.
-
Awesome!! How much did you lose overall? Mine slowed down at about 9 month to a year so I’m worried getting this off now will be so hard!
-
That’s great!! I wonder how it will work for WLS patients.. I may have to bite the bullet and pay for it

Anyone else gain weight since quarantine? Sorry if this is already been discussed, but I gained 12 pounds over the last 2 months and feel awful. I’m closer to 200 now than I’d like. I’ve been working from home for two months so I’ve been sitting at my desk all day with little to no exercise. I’m also a “bored eater” so that hasn’t helped. Anyone try Noom? I just got let go so not sure if I should pay for that right now... Ty for listening!

I hear you guys! I gained 7 pounds after being put on a new medication but thankfully lost it after I was switched to something else. Other than that, the scale hasn’t budged. I need to find a way to exercise but with my elliptical in storage and no money to join a gym I am SOL.

@freiabr I’m so sorry to hear about your mother! I hope it all works out for you. You must be doing something right out there if you’re still losing! Sometimes other things are just more important. So my scale moved for the first time in 2 months - I gained 7 pounds!!!! In a week and a half. I’m livid. I started a new anti depressant and I knew it was making me hungry but I never expected that huge increase. Needless to say, we are switching me to a different medication lol Has anyone tried intermittent fasting? Can someone explain how it works and if you’ve seen results? I see my surgeon and NUT next week because I’m so upset about the weight gain and hope they can get me back on track.

@orchids&dragons I saw that thread but am not familiar with the process or results. What does intermittent do overall? Maybe I’ll PM fluffychix... thanks!

Hey all! I’ll be at 9 months July 1st from my sleeve surgery. I can’t believe it’s been that long!! I lost almost 80 lbs, starting at 256 and down to 179. So I’ve been stalled for about two months. That scale just isn’t budging!!! I don’t feel a huge difference in clothes size lately so it’s not like I’m losing inches and not weight. I know a huge part of that is that my elliptical had to go into storage when I moved in with my boyfriend. His place is small and there just isn’t room for it. I don’t have money for a gym and I’ve always kind of hated gyms, so my exercise is very limited. I’m in NJ so, weather permitting, I take walks while on break at work and after work, but that’s about it. I’d like to lose another 25 pounds, but maybe that’s unrealistic? I feel great and I’m the smallest I’ve ever been in my adult life, I just don’t want to see the scale creep up!! My dad keeps saying I’m going to gain it all back the way he did (very supportive, I know!) I’m eating every few hours but also - I’m HUNGRY!! It may be a medication I’m taking for depression, but I’m hungry a LOT and crave food before bed. Thanks for listening :)

I can’t believe I’m now taking meds for cholesterol. I was so sure it would go down after losing weight. I haven’t lost any weight in weeks. Is anyone else struggling past the 6 month mark? Did I just lose all I’m going to? I need to exercise more but I moved and had to put my elliptical in storage :-(
-
Hi everyone! I’m from Monmouth county and am almost 7 months out :) anyone else from the shore?
-
I’ve lost almost 80lbs but weight loss has seriously slowed down. My hair is still falling out and my cholesterol went up!! Not happy... :(
-
I made the mistake of driving to Florida and the pain in my tailbone is so bad I can’t even stand. I did buy a pillow like the ones others have shared and I almost felt like it made it worse. When I’m sitting or standing I’m fine but going from sitting to standing feels like my tailbone is going to snap off. Is this normal??
-
Thanks for the suggestions for preventing my hair loss!! I’ll def try anything I can!
-
Tomorrow is 6 months for me! I’m really happy overall but my hair has started to fall out 😫 anyone have any recommendations on making it stop? I’ve added biotin to my daily vitamins. Other than that, I started at 256 and am down to 180! I haven’t had as much time to exercise lately so I’m stalled, but I’m motivated to start up again!

Cholesterol increase after surgery??

I have the levels somewhere, I’ll have to dig them up. My doc is also the doc for my dad and aunt and he said there’s are not this bad. Need to check on my moms side.
