Hi everyone! This is my first time here. I decided to check it out after LngRedRose posted about it over at OH. Hi girl, how are you feeling these days??

I'm always up for meeting new sleevesters. And I'm always willing to answer questions if anyone wants some imput from someone almost a year out.

I went to Dr Hargroder in Baton Rouge, LA. I was looking for someone in driving distance who had lots of experience with the sleeve and he fit the bill. Also, I was self pay and his fees were within reason.

Well, kind of. It's supposed to link to whatever story is showing, but it just links the front page.

Not sure who this was addressed to, but I'm 7 weeks out now. I have heard that 3 weeks is a common time to stall because we are adding mushies and more solid food.

For me I had one stall at 4 weeks, but it coincided with a week's vacation and I did not drink my Water, get my Protein, and I just grazed all day long that week. That is the only week that I did not lose weight.

What I do now is I eat 3 meals a day plus 2 Protein drinks (as per my surgeon's instructions). My meals are low carb, I eat protein first, then veggies. The first 6 months are the best time to lose the most weight, so to me it is worth it to concentrate on changing my habits and not eating the foods that made me fat in the first place.

Just my 2 cents!

Thanks for the advise, I think that is a good diet and I should be on it too. I think since it was 3 weeks yesterday and I had not had solid food for over a month I just went crazy eating even when I was not hungry just for the taste. I have to get over it and move on. I was glad to hear that it is common to stall at 3 or 4 weeks. I was very worried. thanks Judy
