I tend to take a bite or two, then wait, then bite, then I lose interest and say "I'll come back for this later." Is it grazing if it takes me all afternoon to eat to eat my small portion lunch?

I had mine on 12/31 and I can't stomach the Protein Shakes. I haven't weighed myself in 2 weeks but I was at a stand still at a lost of 29 pounds

Good for you foreverTracy! Sometimes the weight stays still and the inches move. Keep trucking and they will sync up again.

Anyone else having trouble keeping their eyes open past 8:45pm?!?! I feel like I have been going to bed when my kids do!

I can't emphasize enough the importance of keeping track of your measurements to quiet those stupid scale thoughts! Even when I was in a stall for 3+ weeks, I still lost inches. Even though I do weigh myself once a week, keeping track of measurements every 2-3 weeks is how I track my progress.

My goal for this year was to never get on the scale EVER again. I played the scale game for 45 years. If i was down i didn't watch my food, if i was ip i would practically starve myself. When i go to the doc/nut they weigh me. If they are happy, i'm happy. Just went shopping. I was sleeved on 01/14/16. I am down from size 22pants to 18 (i am bottom heavy) and a 2/3X top to an XL. This tells me i am doing well. ????

My surgery was 12/22 and I'm down 35 pounds so I'm happy. I have good and bad days with eating. One day everything goes down well, the next nothing does. I'm averaging about 500—600 calories per day. I had a follow up with my NUT and she wants me to drink more Water. I average about 62 oz per day. I told her that with waiting 30 minutes before & after my 3 meals per day plus the 30 minutes it tales for me to eat that is 4.5 hours of my day I can't drink. The struggle is real! I keep trying!

Hello everyone,

I was sleeved Dec 18/15. My high weight was 345, my surgery day weight was 312, and as of today, I am 280, so 32 pounds in just over 2 months.

I am ecstatic, and feel great. While I sometimes think I should lose a bit faster, (I compare to my wife who had RNY 2 years ago), I see the inches drop off. I have lost almost 6 inches from my waist, which is so awesome!

The future looks bright!

I find that I have become crazed with the scale; I took it out of my bathroom to stop the madness. Although I feel like I should wake up tomorrow as a size 2, it isn’t really what I want. I am happy with the slow and steady approach, hopefully there won’t be as much extra skin this way. Plus I can’t remember the last time I lost over 30 pounds in two months…

I do find concerning that I go up on the scale when I get close to drinking my 64oz of Water each day. I struggle with eating and drinking the required amounts of Protein and Water. When I get close to meeting these daily requirements, the scale goes up. I am really struggling with drinking my water, I try each day and it is such a struggle, makes me so queasy when I drink it and when I add the crystal light it gets worse. I keep hoping this passes but it hasn't yet...

I just joined my local YMCA. I was stuck in a stall for 3 weeks and scale would not budge. I found some fun exercise classes like zumba and kickboxing and the scale started moving again. I was walking on the treadmill prior to this and think my mind and body were bored. Since I live in Wisconsin with long winters unfortunately I can't get outdoors like I would really rather do.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
