Any other newbies on this journey out there?? Had my sleeve on Tuesday, 7/16; so I'm 9 days out. Day 3 has been the worst so far. Think I possibly have temporary (I hope) lactose-intolerance as I'm struggling with some bowel issues; but beyond that, I feel very good. Not being hungry all the time is wonderful. Still hard to get in the habit of not drinking for 30 min. before; during; and 30 min. after eating. How is everyone else making out?

Wednesdayzchild...thanks for the new direction!!! I have been exercising and I'm not going to stop...water is my friend...so I will wait, patiently for the trusty scale to one day decide to MOVE!!!!

I'm getting nervous because I'm almost 4 weeks out and feeling crappy as well. Back to almost all liqids because everything else upsets my stomach. Also feel nauseous and stomach pain and also super tired and easily fatigued...

_{Actually feeling a lot better and even lost 1 lb! I guess the stall is over for now! Back to the gym and I am also finding that now that I am back to work I eat slower and more mindfully and I am able to eat more of a variety of things without feeling ill. Still can't drink Water, but Gatorade is my new best friend!}

_{I hope all of you that were having problems are feeling better! I am so glad I found this forum because I really can't talk to anyone at work or friends because they have no idea what we go through! My daughter had the surgery April 23, 2013 but she is 25 yo and recovered almost like nothing happened! She has lost 60 lbs so far and looks fabulous. I am using her as my goal for my 4 month mark. I know people say "you should go at your own pace and not go by how other people do or look", but it helps me stay on track. No way am I going to let her beat me!}

I just found out something today! I've been frustrated with this "stall" and called the doctors office. While my mom said, since seeing pics of me today, that I look like I'm turning into a different version of me, and to relax it will all catch up. to which I replied...RELAX...ME!!!! HA!!! Well, the nutritionist said I am not eating enough calories! HMMMM, no one has EVER told me I'm NOT eating ENOUGH!!! I backed up, sat down and said, you have the list in front of you of what I am trying to eat and I can never eat the whole portion...she stated I needed some good calories, like a spoon of nut butter, or banana in my protein...and up the calories a bit to boost the metabolism. Who knew that I would NOT be eating enough!!! I'm just stunned! My mom said she can see that I am losing inches, and the RELAX comment is really sticking in my head! Plus the nutritionist said ONLY weigh myself ONCE a WEEK, NOT every day or it will consume your mind! I said too late for that piece of genious!!! Too late lady!!! lol...well I feel better now! Have a blessed night!

I just thought...maybe I should have blogged that!!! LOL...oh and she told me that I started a lot lighter than most of the patients and I am not going to lose as fast, my body is still freaking out from losing what I have and it will kick in soon! Ok, now I'm DONE!!!

_{I started out at 176 on the day of surgery August 13, 2013. I have no pain or no vomiting. I'm having trouble eating as nothing taste good, but have been forcing my self to eat. I have no energy. I realized yesterday the chewable Vitamins have been making meet feel terrible. I am so discouraged to be feeling this way.}

Switch to liquid vitamins, I know I did the chewables were the pits made me sick. Been fine ever since.

I got mine in capsule form with no taste or side effects. Good luck.

Hey there July! I'm new to this site and think it is GREAT!! It's good to relate and have helpful hearts available.

I am wondering if there is anyone out there that is structured like me... I am a 6' tall lady and at the start of this journey I weighed 367. I was sleeved on July 30. I have lost, as of 8/26, 50 pounds. I don't know if that is fast or slow? I know everyone is different, but haven't seen anyone "my size" to ask...

I am not a lady but you are doing great. I had my surgery on July 11th and have only lost 28 pounds so far but I hit a stall and I am finally starting to lose again. I started out pre surgery in Feb. on a diet and lost from 389 to 340 lbs. the day of surgery and as of this morning 312 lbs., you are not losing to fast just getting rid of a lot of Water weight is what the Drs told me. The first 5 lbs a person loses is liver fat then water, then fat. Keep up the good work.

Where do you get the liquid? Does it taste as bad as the chewable?
