Hi I wanted to post this so the August ppl can log our success and weight lost so far..

My Surgery date 8/8/2013

highest weight was 220, surgery weight 213, current weight 195

All in all I've lost a total of 25 pounds and so happy I lost 7 pounds on my two week preop than the rest the first week post op.. I was stuck at 196-200 until yesterday and now I have lost another pound and that makes me happy to know that the scale started moving back the right direction again!!

I would live to hear from other August sleevers

Omg I just had a 48 hour intense battle with gas... I swear I thought I was dying.

I don't think ill get used to this gas I hope that it dies down or isn't as intense very soon! Worst feeling ever!

I made an appt with my surgeon for today because I thought it was ending but last night the pain was so bad I just kept walking around couldn't get any rest... And I decided that going in to see my dr was the best idea invade its not just gas

Surgery date: 219.8

CW:199.6

Sleeved 8/12

Eating 3 meals a day, maybe a small snack (edamame) and sometimes struggling with Water, but mostly I can get in 2 liters.

I have learned that a variety of stuffed chicken is my friend, lol.

I had a three week period when I gained and lost the same 3lbs. I think it was related to 1. The fact that I have the female cycling hormones 2. I think I was getting too much Protein.

This worries me a little because I am almost to that point of my cycle again.

I was getting almost 100gm of protein with meals and shakes. Now, no more shakes and I see good movement on the scale.

I had the same issue for three weeks. Mine was the opposite problem though. I was only able to keep 8-15 grams of protein down a day and 16-24ounces of water. But it was during my Cycle as well.

Surgery date: 8/21 Doing ok. Lost about 28 pounds so far. weighed in on monday and again this morning, still at 242. I really hope im not about to hit this dreaded stall i keep reading about!

Did really well first few weeks out.....now not so much. Not having any real problems getting anything down. The 'you're full stop eating' sensor still works but my weight loss has really slowed. Didnt notice it until i stepped on the scale. Trying not to worry about it to much I'll focus more on the NSV.

I thought I had gas too and it ended up being a clot between my stomach and liver. If the pain doesn't stop, please see your surgeon! A CT scan quickly found my clot.
