Sorry for all of the horrible typos...I hope my post is understood. If not I will be happy to clarify. For some reason my edit button isn't working on my tablet.

Have you ever considered Vitamin therapy (via IV)? I'm researching it now myself but might be something you want to consider if you can't stomach the chewables.< p>Also-- Congratulations to everyone who got dates and is going home! Yay!

Hey, thanks for responding. No, I've never considered it, I will look into it, definitely! Thanks so much!

Hello everyone, I haven't posted anything in a very long time. I was sleeved on September 29, 2014. At the time I was 285, so far I have lost 68 pounds. My body must have reached a plateau, I haven't lost anymore weight. I have tried walking but due to having feet issues I am not able to walk very long. After s few minutes, they start to hurt. Currently I am in a cast for the next 5 weeks due to a stress fracture in my right foot. I do try to drink Water but some days it's not easy. At my job I am on the phone constantly. Other than that I feel good since I have lost weight, I am so glad I made the decision to have the surgery. I am happy with size I am currently. I haven't been this size in 28 years, that was before I gave birth to my third child. I will be 56 this year and enjoying my life, in spite of the cast, lol.

Do you track your food? How many calories do you eat a day? What are your carbs? How much Protein do you have a day?

Do you track your food? How many calories do you eat a day? What are your carbs? How much Protein do you have a day?

Yes I do! I track everything I eat with myfitnesspal. I eat about 650 calories a day (my nutritionist advised between 500-900). I'm getting between 70-90g of protein everyday.

My questions were for @@gigisjourney5960@gmail.com since she said she hasn't been losing and isn't at goal yet.

Perhaps you need to UP your calorie count for awhile. shake things up a bit. In a week I'll be one year out. I have warbling between 165-172 since last November weigh-in. I went to Las Vegas a week ago and didn't track anything. Came back home and started doing no sugar, or junk food etc. I also did not weigh myself when I came back until today. My weight today is down 10 pounds from the week before the trip. I have renewed energy and feel much better. I know I was obsessing over the numbers on the scale. Just a thought, talk to your NUT about it.

I'm 5 weeks out and 36lbs down. I'm going to keep doing what I'm doing because it's working for me. Thank you though.

Has anyone tried ScarFade to get rid of their incision scars? How soon after did you start using? What has worked for you?

[OutsideMatchInside 10,166]

My doctor suggested Vitamin e oil. I used that at first. All of mine are almost invisible. The one that is dark is dark because they cut right a cross a huge stretch mark. I am going to try bio oil it. Also I used silicon strips, they helped a lot. Not just with fading and healing but also protecting them from clothes and bra.
