I have lost 32 lbs post op & 43 lbs total. Unfortunately I am still worried that I made a mistake. I throw up nearly every day! It's such a downer. I have started eating really moist/wet fish daily & that's going well so I'm hopeful, but this has definitely been harder than I thought it would be. I HATE Protein shakes, milk & sf pudding. I wanna chug Water by the gallon but struggle to get 64 oz in. I know it will get better eventually........right? That said, I'm totally stoked about the loss & this was even with a one week stall !!!!

Off topic: what's a nsv? I see it on here all the time but have no clue!

WOW you're doing fantastically. Way better than I am! I am only down 31 total.

NSV= Non-scale Victory.

Congrats on your loss!

Thats great I was sleeved on 1-24-12 & have lost 22 LBS, It seem as though everyone else is doing alot better.

Sounds like my story. One day I ate fish the next the smelled made me vomit. I am having the same difficulties. Great job on your weight loss though.

That is AMAZING!

I was sleeved on January 16th and my scale says 21 lbs. However, when I went to the dietition and got on the "magic scale" it said that I had gained 8 pounds of muscle and lost 25 lbs. No quite sure what that is all about but I think that because my BMI is lower I am building muscle pretty fast. I do feel hungry alot and usually eat cheese or something when I feel that uncomfortable feeling. I am ramping up my walking and Water hoping that it will drop a little quicker.

I did not have trouble eating anything except beef, ground beef. Have not tried any other type of beef and really don't want to. I do find that I am having more trouble eating now than I did. I wonder if my stomach is healing now and tightening down a bit or maybe I just feel it more now. Still having a little trouble with my blood pressure and my medicine slows down my metabolism so I am going to talk to my doctor about that.

My husband who also had the surgery had alot of trouble with vomiting the first month or two. He is six months out now and is not having that trouble anymore.

Good luck and I hope you feel better.

I was sleeved on 30th Jan and I lost 17 lbs since surgery and 17lbs pre op , but have stalled in the last 10days

Thats great I was sleeved on 1-24-12 & have lost 22 LBS, It seem as though everyone else is doing alot better.

I'm with ya - sleeved 1/27/2012 and have lost 22 lbs. I'm confident month 2 will be stellar

Thanks for all the positivity!! I appreciate the supportive peeps on this forum soooo much !! It's so nice to have access to people who really get it

As for the differences in losing...everyone loses at a different rate for different reasons I have a high BMI so that's prob why its moving quick. Plus the daily vomiting...although I didn't throw up today...yay! I even ate Beans w/ cheese & a little sour cream when I went out to dinner w/ my girlfriends so that's super exciting So here's to all of us Jan sleevers success !!!

Let me start u have a nice display pic

N remember it all depend on the starting weight

Congrats on the weight loss Keep up the great work.

I was having issues with vomiting for a while and wasn't able to do Protein drinks, but some time between month 2-3 I retried Protein Drinks and found one that I could tolerate. I don't enjoy them but I consume them for my health. I also only get sick once in a blue moon, and its certain foods that do it to me. Ground beef will be fine on day, vomit the next. chicken used to be my go to protein, but I overdid it and the smell alone makes me nauseous now.

You will find what works for you
