I admire all the success stories and before and after pictures but I just don't share the same enthusiasm that everyone has about this surgery. It's the worst and I regret that I had it. I'm well over a year post op however, I've lost 49lbs. I can't lose any more weight and it's frustrating having a stall for so long. Exercise????? I do that twice a day for 4-5 days a week I've paid over five grand so far for personal trainers I even had a personal chef to help prepare healthy meals for me so that I wouldn't fall off. I've had countless tests and the doctors haven't found out why I stopped losing weight. I don't expect anyone to respond because it won't happen and because you don't know how to respond you won't respond. I've deleted myself from several support groups from FB because no one understood my pain. I see women and men losing 60-100 lbs in the first nine months and that troubles me when I know I've been doing all I could and giving it 100% effort. I can eat a piece of Salmon and in two hours I will gain a pound literally so on top of the exercise I have to take Rx diet pills to keep my weight leveled. And guess what else? I can't lose weight with the diet pills either so this surgery was a waste of money and pain and suffering.

I'm going to buy some lemon and limes tomorrow to put in my water. Good idea!!

Yeah, if I don't dress up my water somehow, I'll never get through it and my tummy is only banded, not tiny yet!! I feel the water pain!!

May 11th... Or 69 days if you're counting... Which I'm totally not...

I get the Save Mart brand, presqueezed. I use 27 oz water, 1 shot glass of lemon & four vial drops of stevia, not 4 drops, it has like an eye dropper dispenser and I use what I can squeeze into the vial....4 times. Yep, I can get addicted to anything, lol. I think most of my friends think it is too sweet, just thought I would give you my recipe, then you can go up or down. Hope you like it.

Ah that's exciting!! I was sleeved May 15th last year

I don't expect anyone to respond because it won't happen and because you don't know how to respond you won't respond."

I understood perfectly, your expectation was that no one would respond...so why post? I am truly sorry you are having such a hard time...I was trying to encouage you to continue to seek medical help as it seems you have tried everything else...good luck to you.

My doctor offers I think it's called hgc injections for people who stall on their weight loss and everyone I talked to said they started to lose weight again; hope this helps on your journey
