I’ve been struggling because I have not lost anything since the first month it’s so frustrating. Doc recommends going on a liquid diet for 3-5 days to see if that gets things going again. Will update to see how that goes.

Had my surgery on 14 Feb, 59 pounds down so far. Trying to avoid carbs as they slow my weight loss terribly, 3lbs over two weeks with them (750 to 800 cals a day) 4lbs last week without..

Thanks, it helps that my surgeon has given me the smallest stomach ever! Or it feels like that! Not sure how others compare but I can eat an egg and 1oz of ham or chicken.

Same here! I've just gotten up to 2.5 oz. I was only able to handle 1oz until recently.

That’s amazing!! I’m thinking of opening a February sleeve Facebook page so we can kind of all be able to share pics ideas and feelings? Would you guys be interested? My friend did one for September sleeves and I’m part of it but they are on a whole other level. Lol

I was wondering if there was a February 2018 group. My surgery was 2 days after my 50th birthday and my one year goal is to go swim with the dolphins!

Don't be so hard on yourself! There are so many factors that play into the weight loss: the total you need to lose, hormones, how well you are tolerating foods/liquids, your doctor's specific diet plan, etc. Try not to compare yourself to others, it just doesn't work. You'll get there!

I have the same problem. I started drinking 10oz tea in the am and at night to help me.


Yep I’m having iced tea once a day or iced coffee just to have variety!

What is everyone doing in terms of fitness?
I’m doing well but tried to a crunch the other day and i couldn’t... it seems the muscles in my abdomen have become non existent
Before surgery i was able to do a bunch, it felt so weird

I’m not sure if it’s better to do a little at a time to work up to it, OR to not to do any core work on that area for a little while longer...?

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
