Ahhhh, Jordan. Another place I love. Welcome!

Hey!! I'm Egyptian but born and raised in NYC! I went to Cairo to get sleeved since I didn't really meet the criteria to be covered by my insurance. I was sleeved 12/22/12. I weight 225. Three weeks later I am 203.

Welcome! What doctor in Egypt did your surgery? What hospital did you use?

Hello all.. I'm Syrian :)

Sleeved on Oct. 22

Was 222.5 lbs (101 kg.) now after 12 weeks , I'm 179 lbs (81.2 kg.)

Not satisfied with how much I lost, I know people did it later and lost more..

The problem is that my Dr gave me no diet program for more than 4 weeks.. now I eat whatever I want..

Welcome! Are you currently living in Syria? Where were you sleeved?

I am Jordanian. Nice to meet you all!

I was sleeved on the same day. I've lost 26/27 kilos.....but I started out at 143. I should be losing more but this past two weeks I'm not drinking water and I haven't exercised. I'm in some kind of funk.

My Doc didn't give a food plan either. That's the middle east for you lol

I stated following this diet program today

I will follow it for the next week...

I was extremely sad when I found out that I lost less than a kilo last ten days ..

Akid plus my Protein shake..

Tell me your opinion please :)

SyrRose,

Did you get this from your sleeve nutritionist? It seems like a normal diet. I haven't found one nutritionist that is too experienced with sleeve surgery here in Lebanon. You need more Protein and less carbohydrates. How far are you post surgery?

Online read about a program by a Dr. Joseph Chebli, it gives you a good starting program. Just Google his name.

Good luck

Im in new jersey

Salam all,

I was sleeved dec 17 2012, i am in a stage where my appetite is completely gone , and i never feel that am hungry, i only eat because i have to or when i feel dizzy, is this normal?? Last time i weighed my self was on january 8th and i lost 8 kilos am sure i lost more but did not measure.

Salaam where are you from? I know what you mean I was sleeved December 8 and really don't get hungry at all but make myself eat my protein and vegetable when I can fit it in after the protein. I too get very light headed especially during the mornings :)
