Hi there, I am part of the slow losers club. I had my sleeve done March 3rd and I am just hit a 30 pounds loss. So don't be too hard on yourself. Everyone goes at their own pace. I am 56 and was at 250 when I had surgery. I know it's working because I am dropping inches, not so much weight. I've got time I am good about it. At first I was really upset. But trust the process...it will all work out in the end. Enjoy life enjoy those NSV and don't be so hard on yourself...

I know for me that a loss is a good thing no matter how small....it took awhile for me to get this big so I can wait for me to get thin. I do feel 100% better. I can do things I could not before and that makes me very happy. One day at a time....I know we all got this!!!!

I am right with you on this one, I had mine on 3/3/20 I have only lost 30 lbs. I know I am older (56) and maybe things are slowing down, but shoot a little faster would be fine by me. But again a loss is a loss is a loss and I will take it

I just turned 56 in April and had mine. It was the best thing I ever did. So glad I did it. So will you!!!

They are currently sold out but I have been getting them at their website. Builtbars.com Just sign up and they will send you an email when they are back in stock. Also remember they have real chocolate in them and then can melt fast.. been there done that lol But absolutely love them They package them with ice

Don't beat yourself up...I felt the same way. The reason why you do that before surgery is to shrink your liver. They kind of have to move it out of the way before they do the surgery. I had to do the diet for 2 weeks and that was painful lol But I worried about the same thing and was fine. You will be perfect. Best of luck to you...so worth it

I had mine in March I'm down 26 lbs. Just keep going it will come off. Like everyone says. It will happen. I've been bummed that I haven't lost much. But I have NSV all the time. Everybody's different. ❤❤

I hear ya on the shakes. I like Built Bars they have tons of protein and they are nothing like your typical protein bars. Almost like eating a candy bar. Low sugar. Really good. I was also doing eggs everything. Good luck.

Nope nothing at all....I really thought they didn't take it out lol

My coworker had the sleeve 3 years ago and she says her stomach makes all sorts of sounds. Mine started shortly after my sleeve on March 3. One of the last ones to get the surgery before everything stopped.

How long ago did you have your band placed? I had shoulder pain and gas that's the only thing I can think of.

I have not watched the show. I just had my 2 month follow up with my surgeon. I have list 25lbs. And I asked him. Shouldn't it be more? He told me that based on my age and how much weight/height that I was right on course. He said the he would expect about 55 lbs by 6 months. So that made me feel better. This is how my journey will be. I had the sleeve March 3 2020. Sw 250 ( Gained 20 lbs from quitting smoking) That sucked but still no smokes. CW 225

We are Sleeve buddies lol mine was also on 3/3/20 and I too are down 25 lbs lol

Hey thank you. I have been lucky cause I've heard and had read about people who cannot tolerate certain foods. I was going to bummed if I was one of them. So far so good stick with a flavor that you like and go for it. When I was leaving the hospital they told me to make sure I drink my water etc. So I have been home since Thurs so far so good. 🙂

I have pain like that but on my rt side it's the spot the stomach was removed from so it's a bit tender hurts more when I try to sit up when laying down. Each day things will improve. 🙂

Hey I know your excited. I ended up having my surgery on March 3rd. Everything went get just relaxing at home. Movement is a bit better. Pain is minimal. Had my first bm very happy. Tolerating food well. Just broth water water protein drink. My recovery is going very well. Couldn't of asked for any better.

I had to do the 2 week prep. And then in the hospital the "heaviest" I did eat was cream of wheat. I am 3 days post op some pain especially around the hole where my stomach was pulled out off. But doing well.

I kind of like the Isopure water protein. The grape it was really good 20 oz and 45 grams protein. I can handle that. I am trying few other flavors.

Well I've read some that there doctors don't care but most do. You heal better when not a smoker. I needed to quit anyway. It's a very good thing to do. Don't smoke. Lol Sent from my LM-Q710(FGN) using BariatricPal mobile app
