I am only 5' 0" tall. I had my sleeve on 03/01/2012 and I have only lost 3 pounds in the last 2 months. The rules I followed and did not break and that worked for me were:

(1) no carbonated beverages

(2) no breads, pastas, or other grains

(3) really easy on the sweets - I drink unsweet tea instead or regular, I have 1 square of a candy bar instead of the whole bar, etc

Other things I did were

(1) remembering that after the sleeve I no longer can feel hunger so when I caught myself saying I was hungry I corrected myself and over time it became habit to say I am not hungry every time I see food I want to eat...

(2) I didn't force myself to eat. I didn't eat all I could to try to meet my calorie and Protein requirements- yes I did lose lots of hair but my bloodwork consistently looks great and I feel great. Some days I would only take in 200 calories other days closer to 600 right now it fluctuates between 300 and 900 typically.

(3) I weigh daily to keep myself motivated and focused on my health and body.

Everyone is different and I am sure there are critics already tearing this apart but the bottom line is that it worked for me. :)

Crystal: I love your post! I like that you stated that this worked for you and you are not telling others to this either. You are a success! Those are the rules that I basically follow and do have some foods I shouldn't. Keep up the good work and I love reading your posts. :)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
