I got sleeved on the 5th and it wasnt that painful the first few days. after i came home i started to feel the pain, specially the gas pains. Swallowing is a totally new experience. If i take a sip thats to big the pain i get in my chest from pain is so bad.

I cant wait for it to get better. Its not that i regret it, oh no, it just that its like learning to eat all over again. I have started to write down none scale victories. I want to exercise again, i want to play sports again, and most of all play with my kids without feeling tired

My Nut explained we lose in increments kind of like a stair, you lose some and then level off then lose more and level off for a bit. Our body keeps adjusting to the new weight loss. Also here is a link with some useful info.

Thank u, I have had very little info provided from my Nut or anyone at the Bariatric Center. Strange how our body adjusts itself! I've been keeping my carbs under 30, but I can do under 20. Thank you for the website , I will go there now . Thanks again...

What brand of flavorless protein are you using and is it really flavorless???

Unjury and to me yes

Well guys' date=' my one lb a day was WONDERFUL while it lasted, but now a week with no loss. <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> anybody got any more wt loss tricks??[/quote']

Just remember, it couldn't have lasted. That kind of loss just isn't sustainable. I seem to have entered this phase of about one week of plateau, followed by a few days of pound-a-day loss...maybe that's the new normal now? But a pound day for weeks and weeks on end is probably something only the massively obese with hundreds of pounds to lose experience.

That's true, but it sure was great, lol!! I thought sure I had hit gold by dropping my carbs so low, but I'll keep trudging along!!!

Sleeved 3/8/13 @ 240 pounds. Today down to 205; happy with my results so far. Finally working out and anxious to continue and reach my goal!

We were sleeved the same day, I was 256 and down to 226... Can't wait to get in the teens!!

Okay, been at another stall for over a week now...I hope this one doesn't last a 4wk period like the last one!!!!!!

We are def on our way! I don't weight myself often because of the stalls and I start obsessing over the scales so once a month is all for me.

I want to do that, but I guess I'm soooo afraid of regaining (like all the other times) that I've become addicted. If I can get to 220, I will promise myself to only weigh once per week and lessen from there....I have to take baby steps to break this morning habit. At least it's only in the mornings now!!

Three things I never thought I'd want in my house:

1. A big brown ugly recliner

2. A snuggie

3. A plastic shower chair

This is my life:

I sit in the recliner, covered with the snuggie with the remote in one hand and my iPhone in the other. I watch trash tv all day in my room with the door closed while taking double the pain meds. I smoke pot with my cousin about twice a day. I sip premier protein shakes. I chew ice. I worry about this pain and that pain and wether they are normal. I walk. My grandmother gave me a bell to ring. My husband rubs my hands and thighs till I fall asleep at night.

This is literally the best thing that has ever happened to me.

Don't hate

I envy you!!! lol

Several of us are doing all shakes on Modays. I did it yesterday and lost a pound. I hope this is a beginning of getting out of my stall!!

I miss everybody . I lost another pound. I am a very slow loser, but I was given some advice on here to have only protein drinks for about 10 days....yay or nay???

Hi

Starting weight 103kg (227pounds)

Surgery date 7th march 2013

Current weight 84kg (185)

I'm struggling with staying away from junk food I know it's from the stress I have due to my exams coming up and it's killing me that I've been the same weight for four weeks now. I do try to walk/run daily but due to the weather it's been hard I'm thinking about joining a gym. What are some ways you guys cope with stress and how do you stop yourselves form eating unhealthily.
