@, I am part of the Facebook group as well. I don't believe that everyone in the Fb group is a member of this group. Sometimes questions or suggestions are mentioned in that group that I don't see Here, Since I'm so early in this weight loss journey, I'll take all the help I can get. Honestly, it does get a bit much going from Facebook to BP but at the end of the day it's worth it

@@Kathy812 If it wasn't for My Fitness Pal - I wouldn't have the patience to track all my calories and Protein etc. It is really a great tool-highly recommend trying it. Also it's nice that you can share logs with friends to see how they are doing. Well, even though I am eating alot of calories, I still seem to be averaging about 3 lbs a week weight loss so I guess I should be happy with that. Maybe because I keep my carbs below 30 grams a day.

If you decide to join My Fitness Pal - add me as a friend and I'll share my food diary .

Celebrating Belly bgone! So far I admit this hasn't been an easy journey but everyday I Celebrate how much easier everything is with 8 inches of bellyfat gone in just 6 weeks !! Clothes fit better - I can breathe easier - I can bend over and tie my shoes - I no longer look like I'm carrying twins at 9 months ---it just feels so good! Looking forward to losing alot more!!

Also focusing on inches instead of weight only is helping me keep perspective (especially those days when the scale isn't moving).

Hello sleeve friends, I am looking for a friend to visit with to go thru this walk with me! I did not have good support from my surgeon. I am not losing weight. All they said was stick to your plan or you will fail. Well, I feel like I have failed already, 3 weeks out????. I am not being negative, just needing ideals.

What is your plan? I am a little over a month out. I am feeling pretty good and losing pretty well. I can send you the plan my doctor gave me. Did they have you meet with a nutritionist? Is there one available you could meet with? There is lots of support on this forum. Hang in there. :)

I met with a dietitian at the hosp. He gave me very little info. I was there about 30 min. I thought I this under control, but I don't!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
