I'm officially a sophomore, 6 months to the day that I had the sleeve done. Been stuck in stalls for the past two months. Just can't seem to move that scale. But I'm hanging in there, getting my Water, exercising, eating 800 calories, focusing on Protein. Doing all the right things, just waiting for results. Hoping I'm not "done" and already at maintenance. It's too soon! Hoping it's just a stall. I've got 50 more pounds I want to lose. Discouraged but hopeful at the same time.

That's wonderful! My former husband (now deceased) was a volunteer firefighter for 27 years. He LOVED it. Way to go! Good for you! You've inspired me to crank the incline up on the treadmill some more.

You've got to get rid of that head hunger. The surgery is a tool to help with your real stomach hunger, but the head hunger is up to us to manage. Have you considered therapy or group counseling at your bariatric office?

5 months post-op sleeve and I no longer have sleep Apnea, I don't take high blood pressure medication anymore, and I no longer have GERD or Acid Reflux.

I packed more than I needed. I didn't need my phone or my pajamas. I did end up using my deodorant, toothbrush, toothpaste, and chapstick

First of all, CONGRATULATIONS on both your upcoming WLS and your upcoming wedding. I don't know the answer to your question, as it's a dilemma for sure, but I wanted to send you best wishes.

Thank you all for your comments/suggestions. I think I’m going to go on Wednesday to be fitted again, and then decide what I want to do! :)

You just had major surgery. You should feel tired and weak. Give it a few more days.

I thought about it, but I'm just focusing on staying within Protein goals and avoiding bad foods for right now

That's a good question. I hadn't thought of it. I've always been anemic, so I can't donate blood anyway, but that's a good question.

Welcome and good luck with your WLS on Monday. It sounds like you've done a great job following the program set out by your nutritionist. You're off to a great start.
