Anyone else going to have their sleeve in May? I'm excited and now the nervousness has set in. I am reading a few posts that people are in the hospital for like 3 days. My dr said I would only be in the hospital one day. And that I would walk the same day as my surgery.... Is this something they tell everyone or should I plan on more than one day there? Either way, my life changes May 16th and I'm excited

Thank you both for your responses....

Okay May sleeves, it is now 7 weeks and I'm still only 15 pounds. I eat maybe 800 - 1,000 calories a day. Have to start my day with a protein shake or don't feel right. Fiber One cereal seems to be my savior right now when nothing else wants to go down. As I mentioned before I'm on meds for bad back, Fibrommagylia and nerve damage from accident. Also have severe sleep apnea and am 56. I am totally PISSED I have not lost for 2 weeks. I just don't understand. How are all you doing?

My Dr. Told me that cereal are starches and I can only dad it once in a month until I made 6month... So keep an eye on what type of food u are eating daily... Ask ur nutritionist for a meal or diet programm... That will help u... Don't feel back about the weight this is what I'm going thru...

I kind need help on this...

**My surgery was May 15, 2012 (240 lbs)**

2 weeks later was my 1st Dr. Check-up... Well at that time I was (211 lbs)... Since then everything was better n better right?!? Well, when I made my month I join back to the gym... Here is where everything starts... June 15, 2012 (207 lbs)...

I start doing (Zumba on M-W) and I have my personal trainer M-F 1 hour, plus I walk 1hour in the afternoon, I eat healthy n in small portions, also I throw up almost everything I eat everyday... Don't ask me why cuz idk... I don't eat to get full, n most of my snack is a grapefruit n the only protein I can tolerated is tuna... Water 24/7... My next Dr. Check-up is on the 25th... And the sad part is I'm still (207 lbs)...

What I'm doing wrong?!? I just think that this surgery waesnt for me... I just read n see how 98% of everybody that had the surgery are doing so well at there 2 month n I'm just stuck.

well, I had mine on 5-22 and I hit a stall on week 3 until yesterday. What's that - a 4 week stall? I lost 30 lbs and then hung out there. Today I lost 4 lbs. Who knows why, maybe my body REALLY liked it at the 30 lbs loss. But after I had shrunk down (really, I went down an entire SIZE, and lost no lbs) I am starting to lose again. So maybe it's that my body didn't want a ton of loose skin??

All I know is that I kept to the foods, tried to eat less than 50 carbs a day, and get in 80 grs of protein and even if the scale doesn't show it - LOTs of my friends are noticing. And my closet is a more open place to try clothes on now. So stay the course. Even if the scales doesn't show - your body will. And sooner or later you WILL lose that weight!

Never fear the stall will get going. Week 8 after a 2 week stall I'm down 3 pounds. Thank you Jesus!

Can anyone gimme an example of what and how much u eat in a day? I've fallen off the wagon and started eating high calorie junk again, just in small amounts (though I feel so full im nauseous most of the time after). I went of a mini vacation this weekend and we stopped at a lot of restaurants and fast food joints, I gained 2 lbs in the past week! Somehow I feel just admitting this to others on here will drive me to do better.

I was sleeved 5/29. Have been in a stall for a few weeks now and starting to go CRAZY!!!! my fiancé tells me I'm getting more jiggly :-/ lol. He says it's the fat breaking down. I sure hope he is right. I have lost 40lbs so far, but man I wanna break this stall. I would love to be a part of the "secret" Facebook page. Can someone add me. The name is Christa Ristow! Thanks so much!!!

Add Sharon ivanauskas to your fb and she will add you.

I was sleeved on 5/30 and lost 27 pounds total. I have been in a stall for just over 3 weeks and I am starting to get very nervous. I don't know what to do to break this stall. I've tried all protien and no carbs, light carbs and proteins and today I am going to try heavy carbs. I just want to scream!

I also would like to be added to the Secret FB page. My name is Debi Scobie Morris, please someone friend me.

I just joined this today, so this is my first post.....is there anyone else out there that feels like they are a slow loser? Im wondering if I'm eating too much. I was sleeved 5/16 so just about 2 months our and lost 32 lbs (9 on the week preop liquid, 13 the 1st mo, and 10 over the past month). I know I prob shouldnt compare or complain bcuz I am losing, but it does seem like others have lost much faster this early out.

Oh Suzi I was sleeved on 5/15 and have only lost 18 lbs. compared to me your racing me by. I feel like a turtle. I will say however, I've noticed a lot of body changes and redistribution.
