I'm in the exact same boat. I gain quick! My sleeve can withstand everything and nothing makes me sick either. I'm recommitting myself to my tool and making it work. We can do this!!! Good Luck! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I am totally struggling!!! This is no joke I lost about five lbs but gained it back. Grr.

I'm in!

I need a reset too!!! I was sleeved 04/03/2012...not one complication and loved it! It's the best thing I've ever did for myself. I do tell my friends that it's the easiest but also the hardest thing...Easy because the weight just fell off but hard because it's always a mental game. Ahhh but I digress... My lowest recorded weight was 159lbs...although I think my lowest was at 148lbs (after gall bladder surgery). I am now at 182lbs. GRR...I'm so disappointed in myself BUT I know that I can do it. I want this 20lbs off and I will get it off. I've been planning my meals and starting trying to get in my Water (emphasis on trying) and I start bikram yoga this weekend. 160..you're calling my name! Wish Me Luck ! PS. If anyone needs an accountability partner...let me know

I'll be at three years in April. I was at goal for a long time but the past six months it's slowly creeping back up...I'm working on it now. I started back with Protein shakes and mostly protein all through out the day. My carb intake got crazy! I have about 15-17lbs I would like to permanently get rid of.

Has anyone had to deal with ulcers? How serious is having an ulcer and how is it treated for VSG patients? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Is this like "dumping syndrome"? I've had that a few times...ugh, very, very, very bad Thankfully, haven't had it in a long while... hope I didn't just jinx myself.

Awesome!!!

I'm down 70 lbs yesterday. OMG...I feel and look amazing lol. My highest weight was 240 I'm 169 today. Size 11 from a 22. I'm SO happy with it. I haven't had any problems at all...sometimes I still stuggle with taking in all of my Water but that's it. Girl, it's the easiest thing... The lapband did nothing for me! I lost 30lbs and was at the highest restriction I could be at. I learned how to cheat with it...it basically sucked for me. I had esophgeal dilatation...I had acid reflux...I was miserable because I wasn't losing anything and THEN gained everything back!!! I'm glad that we have this option available for us when the band didn't work. You're gonna do great!

I remember you from LB talk. You were one of my thinspirations. Yeah, the band didn't work for me and I revised in April 2012 after having the LB for 2 years. VSG is the BEST thing I could have ever did for myself. Good Luck Girl and I look forward to seeing your posts...Much success!!!!

LMAO...I guess I should be more clear. I was at work typing the initial post and tried to hurry. Okay, So, I'm about 20lbs away from my goal. My breasts have taken a hit the last 20 or so lbs. They're not really that bad but are flattening out...if that makes sense. I know a lot of people say you should wait until you're at goal for at least 2 years to get your breasts done, either lifted or implants. I don't want to wait. I want to do it soon, maybe by January. I don't want to go huge or anything...just a really nice full natural looking pair of breasts. What harm could it actually do?

Just curious, what would happen if you're not at goal but want to get new breasts?

I use Kelo-Cote. I bought it from Amazon. It's a little bit pricey but it works really good. I used it for my lapband scars and I'm using it for my new VSG scars.

Post nasal drip? (nasal decongestant)

I"m just about six weeks out...I'm experiencing the SAME thing. I'm not pregnant...and just wish it would stop.

I'm three weeks out and I'm experiencing the same thing. Went to the er on Saturday, they did a cat scan and blood work to rule out any problems with my pancreas. The ER doc said, I have a virus in my lymph nodes and that it just has to run it's course. I just don't believe that because of where the pain is located. I have an appoinment with my bariatric doctor tomorrow, so I'll see what he says. Good Luck to you and hope you feel better soon.

I needed this post soooo badly tonight. Thank you

I was a revision from lapband to sleeve on the 3rd. I feel good! I'm down 16lbs. Still a little sore and bruised on my largest incision. I think also because the lapband was removed, I have swelling around the port area. I'm in the same boat, trying to get in my liquids...boy is that hard! Also, trying to keep up with taking my vitamins. Sometimes I miss eating...lol. My family had a get together over the weekend and BBQ'ed hotdogs and hamburgers...smelled SO good...but I was content drinking my protein shake. Cheers to Our Weight Loss April Sleevers!

We are more than half way through April, plenty of us have had our surgerys and the other half are (im)patiently waiting... How are we all doing?

I used kelocote for my Lapband scars 2 years ago but that a bit pricey...I'm gonna pick up some vitamin E and start massaging

Great job!!! You look amazing!
