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!!!

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
