Hello everyone. I'm new here, my name is Danielle, I'm 34 years old. I had my surgery on January 28th at JT Mather Hospital in Port Jefferson Station, NY. Surgery was performed by Dr. Arif Ahmad. Pre surgery my weight was 263. One month post op, I'm down to 243. After the first week and a half I got down to 238, past few weeks I have not been losing, just gaining. Maybe I'm being impatient, but, does anyone know if this is normal? I would hate to think I went through all the pain of surgery to just lose twenty pounds.

Thank you.

I too sleeved on Jan 28th....down 41 lbs counting my 2 week pre-op diet.....I have not lost weight in a few days...this happens i am told ...I did stall and increase my protein and started loosing again.....Hang in there......keep in touch my fellow 1/28/2013 sleever.....

My problem is started back to work and hard to eat at work.....I am a nurse busy all day hard to find a minute to eat so I drink mostly at work......What are you eatting???

I was sleeved on 1/28 also. I'm not gaining weight but I haven't lost in almost 2 weeks. My carbs are low and protein is high. Calories are 600-800 daily. It's frustrating but part of the process, I understand. What are your calories? Do you ladies use my fitness pal to track? We have to stick together.

I decided to make my daily calories 1000 a day but I usually don't use but 700. I too use my fitness pal so I can record exercise calorie burned. Yes I agree we all need to stick together we can learn from each other

I was sleeved 02/11/13 and haven't lost any weight this last week. I think it's because I have been working out every day and during the week, twice a day. Pre-surgery, I was only doing 30 minutes on the treadmill 3 days a week, so I have really been pushing myself to do more than what I would normally do. I'm a little concerned about not losing any weight, but at the same time, all my clothes are getting too big to wear, so I'm assuming that I have lost fat and gained muscle. I'm trying really hard not to be as concerned with the weight loss, but more concerned about the loss of inches. I'm also worried about the loose skin I will have once I reach my goal, which is the reason for increasing my workouts.

I have advanced to a regular diet at this point. I have been eating a lot of eggs, a lot of cheese. I've been snacking on trail mix, occasionally I'll have a protein bar. I find that heavy carb items, like bread, don't sit well with me, so I've been avoiding them. I'm not getting as much protein as I should, probably about 50 grams a day. I'm consuming anywhere between 500-1000 calories daily. Most days I hover around the 700 range. I do use my fitness pal to track everything. I'm hoping that once I get back to the gym, I will start losing weight again.

I just advanced to regular food s too, tell that to my stomach. I still cant handle most reg foods so i stick with my protein shakes.

Hi, I am new here. Trying to find someone in the St Louis area. Looking into the sleeve vs band! Would like to find friends on FB to talk to thru my journey.
