yes time is moving fast . How you doing ?

Im doing well. taking it one lb, SLOWLY at a time.

Hi November sleevers! Going on 3 months 2/4. It’s been like a 2nd job, but feeling a little bit better. I’ve also experienced a lot of weakness and low energy. Rest on the weekends. Through this course of bariatric it was discovered that I have a condition called Hereditary Hemochromotosis. Surgeon did liver biopsy during sleeve and I was dx with iron overload Scale of 0–4 my liver iron overload was at 3. Good news no cirrhosis. Along with dropping about 2.4 lbs per week I just started aggressive phlebotomies to pull iron off my organs. It’s been tough, but I rest on the weekends and pace self to be able to make it through the work week. I’m down almost 40 lbs. Trying to increase my calories to 700, like others I’m just not able to eat much and I’m full. When I look back at where I was in May when I went to the seminar... I’d have to say even through I’m weak, mentally I’m gaining strength. Regaining my old self. Thank you everyone on this thread and site for encouragement. It’s great to read about others, struggles, challenges and know we’re all here to lift one another up.

How’s everyone doing? Stalls? Progress? NSVs?

I'm doing pretty good. Weight loss has slowed down to 1-3 lbs a week on average. I'm beginning week 9 and have lost 41 pounds since surgery. I'd like to hear how everyone else is coming along too...

Hey ?? Just a ck in to c how’s everyone doing so far I’m glad to be on this side 60 pounds lost so far almost to my goal weight of 150ish about 25 pounds to go I’m a little over 3months post op but it’s going ok

I'm 83 days out today (duodenal switch November 18th 2019) and I'm down about 83lbs total from my peak weight. Hit a stall this past week, actually gained a pound and a half which is slowly coming back off.

Hoping for another 40-50 lbs by summer.

Hey all. It’s been a while since I’ve commented.

I am a week shy of 3 months and 51 pounds down. Seems like I’m hitting a stall again. Scale isn’t moving, but I’m doing everything right. Is anyone in the same boat as me? Should I be concerned about not losing?

Also, anyone else forcing themselves to eat? I am hardly hungry.

@JRT Mom started a forum for us in new topics. go check it out .. we been kinda slow on our forum since surgery.. I know we allll good. Let's show it … Don't be shy..

Hey november11, this is a great forum, but I thought it was for sleeves, and I had a bypass so I thought I'd start one on the bypass forum.

Hey, I can tell by your stats that we've lost the same amount of weight! Yay for us!?

oops I didn't see that "bypass " lol my bad..... yes yay for us all.....
