How do u feel now? I want another surgery

I feel great, losing weight, finally. I felt so conflicted about getting another surgery, I felt I had failed the lapband, what's to say that I won't fail with this. And I was eating right and exercising, but I couldn't stop throwing up with the band. My surgeon said he knew how I could feel that way, but the band failed me. Not the opposite. The first few weeks of the sleeved life is hard, but I'm 5 weeks out now, and I feel great!

Sleeved May 15. Down 30 lbs at last week's 6 week checkup.

Cw206 today

I feel like I'm at a hold. I haven lost in 2 weeks. I just started a new job and am trying to figure out what to eat and how many times to eat. I can't see my surgery doc anymore cause I will be on a new insurance and I need to find a new doc. The last thing my doc said to me at 6 weeks was Ur all good. Ur on autopilot and eat Atkins way.

Hey Madoa. You have lost a lot of weight so far. Stress of a new job and now finding a new Doc is probably the stall reason. I have only lost 25 lbs since my surgery but there is no way the weight won't come off. We have had this weight a long time but now we have the sleeve on our side and we won't fail.

Anyone else notice after a long awaited BM you feel bad the rest of the day? My entire abdomen gets crampy and I feel overall crappy- no pun intended.... Tell me I'm not alone here.

Feeling a bit down that i should have lost more. Almost feel too good and strangely wishing for the discomfort of the first few weeks

Don't feel bad! I'm down 18 since surgery on May 8th. Averaging 1-2 lbs a week. Dr. Told me that I will lose slower because I have less to lose. I lost 14 before surgery so I'm happy with my 32lbs! Slow and steady wins the race. You are going in the right direction. I hit a big stall at about 4 weeks out and it lasted a few weeks. It happens to a lot of people. Just keep going.
