Great to hear your doing good and the numbers arn't the important part, how we feel is the real reward here! NSV's are the best!!!

NewGrandma, I am so happy to hear something from you.

your result is very good as well.

What are you guys eating... Did you stop drinking the protein shakes? How is your hair? ( my is still falling off)

and what to do to make my belly flat....

I know a lot of questions but might be you can help

This is the best thing that has happened to me in a long time. I am down 68 lbs...not sure why it is so slow as I have not "cheated" at all & I exercise but, hey, it is still better than nothing. I am 7 lbs away from onederland! I wouldn't trade this for anything in the world. What blows me away is I have absolutely NO cravings & I am NEVER hungry. I have to force myself to eat-nothing tastes awesome to me so I eat what I need to get my protein in. Ummm....not to sound stupid but what is NSV? Anyone have any ideas how to speed up the weight loss? Good luck & congrats to all of you!

NSV- non scale victory

about speed up the weight loss. what exercise are you doing? how much. I hit the stall and even though I was exercising min 45 min per day the weight doesn't go down, I was told to change the time of my routing. so I switch the evening exercise with mid day one and it help.

So another thing try sometimes to increase the calories. just for one day. to 1200. I mean do something like that to help your body to shake your stall.

Good for you!! And I'm so jelous about the not getting hungry, I'm super hungry every few hours!

scorpian ive been in the other forum i created post op september. I can eat anything and dont get sick anymore. i try to eat a balanced diet everyday i log every day. my nut put me on a shake a day. and my hair has yet to fall out. oh and i am now a vegetarian

I wouldnt either! Life is worth living now This has been the most powerful experience outside of having my son. Congrats on your weightloss!!

Thanks Tamara! Congrats to you as well. Like Tbrendon, I too will be having to have my gallbladder removed in the near future. I feel that it's a small price to pay considering how much healthier I am overall. My surgeon said that he has to do a cholecystectomy in about 2-4% of his post sleeve patients, and particularly if you are female.

I hit onederland this week!!!!!!!

So happy

scorpion-NSV-duh-I should have figured that one out, lol. I was doing Zumba 2-3 times a week & then I twisted my knee, which was already bad so beginning of March, I joined a gym & I go 3 times a week. I usually do 30 min of cardio (bike, treadmill) & 30-45 min of weights. I know muscle weighs more than fat & I meant to take my measurements before the surgery but didn't so I haven't been able to monitor inches lost. Even before I joined the gym, my weight loss has been sort of slow. I eat between 700-1000 calories a day but usually average around 850-900. Once a month I allow myself something I normally wouldn't have like fried clam strips or fried shrimp. Otherwise, I stay away from any kind of bread, pasta, rice & sweets. I weigh once a month & I have lost every time but it seems slow compared to others in my weight range. Don't get me wrong, I am ecstatic that it is coming off but I am so ready to be at goal weight & it seems like it is taking forever. Thanks for listening.

Thanks Tamara-I'm not sure why some experience hunger unless it isn't actual hunger but "head" hunger. Scorpion-I haven't lost my hair either. I still drink one protein shake a day & I take a very good multi-vitamin called Fusion, which is for Bariatric patients. I rarely eat any veggies & almost no fruit. CONGRATS suepeeps-I can't wait to get there...how does it feel?
