90 lbs gone forever!!!! 10 lbs from 100 lb loss. I've been training for my first 5k in June . I work out 6 days a week and I'm still consuming no more than 600 calories. I've had ZERO complications and I'm so thankful for this surgery . Went from size 26/28 now in a 14/16. I'm

6ft tall so my "goal weight" is higher compared to others (190)

Good day "losers"! I am 4 months post op and 75 lbs down and went from size 3x-4x (26/28 ) clothing to 1x (18/20). Wooohoooo!!!! Feeling great and loads of energy. Working out at least 4-5 times per week. I'm still struggling to get all my Water in, and am averaging 800-900 calories per day.

Every once in a while I get that hungry feeling. :(. Anybody else experiencing hunger at this stage in the game?

First...you look amazing! I too am starting to feel a bit hungry for the first time. I was sleeved nov. 6 and have lost 70 lbs. I'm not exercising much and need to step that up. But I'm happy with my progress.

I am hungry sometimes too.. but honestly I think it's more boredom than hunger. If I keep busy then I don't eat, if I sit around then I eat. Luckily I've done some "tests" and I can't eat more than i could initially, but it doesn't matter if I eat more often. :(

I've also found if I neglect to take my Omeprazole then I eat more. I asked my doctor about it and he said he's heard anecdotal stories but nothing concrete.

So, take your Omep, stay busy, try not to think about food.< /p>

I stopped taking mine...I'm goin to start again bcuz I was never hungry while I was on it. I don't eat more often bcuz I consume Snacks in between when I can bcuz I wouldn't get all my Protein in and my carbs would be less thsn 30 grams a day:-\ I just get hungry when I'm supposed to eat...is that a bad thing? I'm 4 months post op. I eat the same amount except for seafood mix that I make that feels so good to eat....I can eat a cup of that. Is that normal??

highest weight 224#<br />sx weight 212# (11/20/12)<br />current weight 170#(3/27)

I've never noticed any change in appetite with or without Omeprazole, but I definately get heartburn if I am not taking it.

Hi fellow Nov sleeves!!!

My surgery date was 11/21, I'm down 62 lbs. Great except now the scale hasn't moved in almost 3 weeks! I get 65-80 g of Protein daily and about 64 oz of Water. Calories typically 800-850. Anybody else experience a stall yet? I'm so frustrated!

1st congrats on weight lost!! Ive only lost 44# since sx and 56# @ my highest weight. I had sx on 11/20 and had my 1st stall during the 1st month then I had a mini stall a wk ago. The 1st time I increased my calories but this time I just upped my workout time. U r doin way better than I have because I still struggle with my water. Protein intake is good but carbs r too low. Just hang in there the stall will eventually give way and u will start losing weight again!

I've had several of them, but am down 55 pounds. Upped my Protein and exercise, but it is still happening. I'll lose and then go up 3-4 pounds in one day. Don't know if it is the scale. But my clothes fit differently and I've dropped from 2x or 22/24 to 16 so I know I'm making progress!!!

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
