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!!!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
