Preop diet Nov 27: 344lbs Vertical sleeve gastrectomy Dec 11, 2017 (321lbs) Today April 5, 2018: 278lbs (It's the damn arms that I hate the most, lots of skin I will have)

Great stuff. THanks for posting this.

I am stuck! I am down 40 lbs but I keep dancing around 218-220. The scale said 220 today and I was not happy!

This seems like a tremendous success! Do share what your program is! Are you exercising at all? Congratulations on your new you!

Yay!!!! Congratulations! Mines is May 10th and I feel the same way!

Totally experienced the same thing. Basically, get your protein and water, and enjoy the time (and the weight loss) . . . speaking for me, it passed and I'm now quite able to feel hungry again. Thank goodness my sleeve is still restricting how much I can eat and I'm still trying to make the right choices--protein, protein, protein! I'm seven months post-op. Today, for example, I had a spinach and cheese one-egg omelet for breakfast--with an English muffin, as I'm not quite as carb-free as I should be. Had cottage cheese with pineapple and blueberries for lunch and a shrimp stir-fry for dinner. For snacks, I've been taking advantage of Medifast things a friend has given me--a package of pretzels and a peanut crunch bar today, each with about 110 calories and 11 grams of protein . . . I also tend to snack on cashews quite often. It's not like the old days! but that's a good thing.

I feel you on the arms! Keep up the great work. YOU GO GIRL!

Iron deficiency can cause a metallic taste in the mouth, so maybe?

That's cruel lol
