I am in Portersville, about 45 miles to the north of Pittsburgh. Just getting started on this journey, but I have a huge issue to conquer...I have a sever needle phobia... Don't know what to do to get past that.

I was also sleeved on 11/12/13 and am down 25 pounds. My weight loss has kind of stalled right now and I am a little frustrated. I feel like I am not doing something right. I also get very hungry

Wendyn I have those same feelings too and my weight loss has slowed dramatically but I just figure there is no way we won't lose weight given the amount we are eating. I think our bodies are adjusting to these low calories. I know my body was used to being well fed. This surgery works for so many people, I am just trying to be patient and enjoy the ride. Best of luck to you.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
