Wow. OP, I get it. I am a Christian, and oftentimes will say praying for you. Though I appreciate prayers etc. I also must respect your preference.

I'm ok with weight. Oddly enough, over the past month, I've lost an additional 18 pounds. According to the Dr., I was 199 a month ago and today, 181.so, ultimately, I'd like to get down another 10-15 more. But, after all the swelling goes down, we will see what I'm left with. Thank you again.

Well, I hadn't been on here in sometime. I had band to sleeve revision 9 Feb 2015 and, didn't lose much. However, I decided to have plastics anyway. And, I must say, I have never been happier. I had surgery 3 Dec 2015. It was completely pain free. It was uncomfortable but without pain. So, I tell people that everyone is truly different. I also had really good drugs, too. Though I an still quite swollen, I'm so impressed with the outcome. I will update next week. Wishing you ask well. I couldn't figure out how to rotate pictures.

188

Please add me. Brigette Current 188. Goal 175. After gaining or not losing for the past few months, I've adopted a vegan diet. And, I am proud to say, I am losing again. Yeah. Thanks for doing this. There really is a degree of accountability.

190.2. Ok, a few ounces more. Lol.

191.5. Better. Last week I was 194. Do, at least I lost a little woot. Thank you.

191.8. Well this time I blame self. Had a bad week.

Yes, not uncommon. And, it can depends on a number of factors. I have been stalled since April. However, I am losing inches. Could it be muscle gain? Are you rigid with your Doc rules? Are you getting sufficient protein? How about water? In some instances for no real rhyme or reason, weight loss will stall and, then, just as suddenly start moving again. Hope you see the scale moving soon.

188.4

Thanks All, yes my clothes are fitting much better. I can actually wear size 8 and 10. I will post pictures when I get home. So, I'm definitely losing inches. So, usually I'm a bit more positive today's gain kind of pushed my off the ledge. Yes, I'm getting my water in. I'm meeting with nutritionist in a couple of weeks. Thanks again all.

Hey BP, I was sleeved 5 months ago (Feb 9, 2015). I was relatively low start weight 213. I lost about 30 lbs. In first few months. I have not lost anything since about April 18. Now, I gave gained about 5 or so back. I'm running 4 miles 3 days a week and other exercises 2 additional days. I have always been able to eat more and never felt like I'd had surgery. I drink 2 protein drinks a day per my nutritionist. Gives my 40 g protein, in addition I eat tuna, chicken, or turkey breast with veggies. Any suggestions? Thank you.

Weight 189.3. Yes frustrated. I'm still gaining.

Sorry I'm late. Starting weight 187.7. My goal is 177.7.

Hi, I had the same problem with mainly hip pain and, for me, it turned out I had a b12 defeciency. Started taking a b12 and pain disappeared.
