I was sleeved 11/15/12 in Pittsburgh, PA at Magee Hospital. I'm 21.8 lbs down and my numbers haven't moved in about a week. I had some nausea but I'm starting to feel much better.

Hi there! Sleeved 11/15 in College Station Texas. Doing great! Down 32 lbs, but am in a stall right now. What foods are you all eating at this point? Also how much can you eat? I'm afraid I'm eating the wrong things and too much of it. I can eat about 4oz of food at this point. Just seems like much more than most. I've been reading about people only able to eat 2-4 tbsp. I am getting between 60-70 grams of Protein. Not doing well on liquids though.

Hello You all seem to be doing good. I hope the person in chicago is doing better. I worry already is it working for me. I am down 15 pounds but almost everyone else seems over 20-30 is the average.

I know I have PCOS so I am always slow to lose weight but..was hoping to be at least 20. I had my first stall at week 2. I lost 9 pounds on the 2 day liguid diet so I wonder is that making me stall. This week I lost only 2 pounds.

21 pounds?? 32 pounds!! That is awesome! I can eat about 4 oz too I am suprised when people say they can only eat 2 tablespoons. What ever I eat I measure out though and then I always leave a bite or two I want to get out of the clean my plate club. Now I have the Protein shakes, eggs, or egg beaters, cheese, yougurt and cottage cheese. Egg beaters are my standby though and I use Heinz reduced sugar ketchup only one carb. I eat between 60 and 70 grams of Protein and around 500 calories.

My husband said I am shrinking everyday I look smaller but....why arent the pounds falling off??

Hope everyone is well! Hang in there!

I too have PCOS. It has always been hard for me to lose. I think I may go back to full liquids for a week or two. I find myself eating the wrong things at times. I figure a bite here and there won't hurt, but that's how I got to where I was to start. Anybody else sneaking bites of your husbands meals?

Hey guys!

I definitely sneak a bite here n there of foods I shouldn't have, but I'm so limited to the things that will stay down I still only average 600-800 calories. I'm trying not to beat myself up over the stall but eating so little and not seeing the scale move is alittle discouraging.

I can eat around 4oz's as well. My nut says this is fine. He says if I am managing to not be hungry all the time and I am eating four times a day than that's perfect.

Breakfast I usually have a slim fast shake

lunch 2 oz's of king prawns and 2oz's crab sticks

Tea 4 oz's of chicken wrapped in lf bacon with some soft cheese in the middle

Supper I usually have a Horlcks or ovaltine made with milk.

Hope this helps. Xxx

You guys are all doing well, and just stay focused and take it one day at a time. This was a big change for us all we can do is stay positive. On a good note... I lost about 30 pounds can't really eat to much this week it has been hard for me to keep food down, but I do take my vitas daily no matter what. 

Hello. I was sleeved on Oct. 2, 2012. I have lost 82 lbs. I have had ups and downs, good & bad days. My partner was sleeved on Dec. 10, 2012. She has lost 32 lbs. It has definitely helped that we have each other to lean on. This is definitely not an easy life style change but together we have really done well.

      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.

      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.
