Hi all, my surgery is on Tuesday 3/25. How are all the other March sleevers doing?

This might sound crazy but my old shoes finally fit! I lost weight in my feet!

Has anyone ever experienced dumping?? OMG it's the worst feeling in the world

Fortunately I have not. But I do get the slimies if I drink something after eating too quickly. Gross.

How many calories is everyone getting in now that we're around 5 months out_?

I am March 10. Down 47 pounds and on another stall!!! It seems stalls want to happen often for me. I am happy for the loss but discouraged on how little I have lost. I see so many others with better results.

I am 7 pounds away from onederland and feel it is so hard to reach. Then I will be on my way to my next loss goal. I have so far to go and worry what if I am never small.

Down 65! 85 more to go!

I try to stay around 800 although it's really hard!

I hear ya! I'm down 60 pounds but haven't lost any in two weeks! I weigh about 12 more pounds than you and I too wonder if I will ever get to a "normal" bmi weight. It just seems impossible when even if you eat even the slightest bit off diet you gain.

5 months 107 pounds down and size 44 pants from size 56

I am very proud of what I have done so far but I still feel like I have a long way to go. Want to loose 50 more pounds and be below size 40 waist

are people feeling less restriction? I am so scared this is it!!! I'm stalled but I'm also slipping and not following the rules. I joined a gym (went 3 times so far) and actually gained! HELP

Well I'm still losing but it's hard...I really need to stay on track with the foods I eat otherwise I stall...definitely not like the earlier days!

I still have my restriction. I really feel it when I eat dense foods. I played tennis twice this week and am looking at 3 lbs weight loss this week after a stall. My sleeve has worked for me as expected, but it's not a magic pill, it is a great tool. If you don't use this tool correctly it will not work and could be dangerous..... 70 lbs down since my high in January.

I am just past 5 months now and have lost 31kilos (38 pounds) since surgery, 36 kilos, (79 pounds) since my highest just two weeks before surgery.

Some days I feel that my stomach is more tolerant than others. My issues are mainly constipation (yukky topic sorry) and I blame this on my water intake being too low. It has as long as I remember been very hard for me to get the recommended amount of water in, especially in winter. It is warming up now so hopefully I will improve. I havent been exercising so much this last week but have had a good weight loss. There is no rhyme or reason sometimes so I ALWAYS try to eat right and I ALWAYS try and get at least an hour of exercise in at least 3 times a week because this is better for my health.

It has always been my goal to conquer the health issues I had from obesity but it is not enough to just conquer those problems, I wont to avoid further health problems by finally treating my body with respect.

i want to take the time to thank every one on this thread for sharing their experiences because even if I don't comment, I read them every day and they lift me, educate me and give me drive. Well done everyone!

I still have restriction but not as much. But that is normal. It really depends on what I eat, too.

Hope everyone is doing well. I am at -110 now still going. Want to lose another 30 or so lbs.

My date was March 21. I'm down 60 lbs. very happy with that but this last month has been slow. I watch EVERYTHING I eat, walk 3 miles 3-4 times a week yet I'm really struggling going down any more. I'm still at around 600 calories. I'm still40 lbs away from where I want to be. Any suggestions? Oh and my hair is falling out like crazy.
