yes i did measure. and i lost inches. but its still driving me CRAZY can't wait for the loss to start back up again!!

thank you everyone for all the support on here! Is great to know that there are soo many people on here going thru or have gone thru the same thing. Non-sleevers wouldn't really understand what we go thru. So thank you

im a very very slow loser ;( last month i lost 5 lbs, and the last 3 weeks, been up and down the same weight feeling discouraged right about now

right there with you guys. ive been up and down around the same weight for more than 3 weeks now? And im trying to increase my protein. Don't really know what will work, increasing or decreasing calories

im right there with you! our numbers are very similar. i started out at 226 ( VSG on june 23) and im down to 171-172. And my weight loss has gone up and down one lb for the last 3 weeks and it is driving me crazy! im scared too that my weight loss has ended but im just praying it hasn't. I don't think ive ever really had a stall ( until now) because even though im a slow loser, ive always still loss. But last month i only lost like 5lbs and so far i have only lost maybe a lb or so. Really discouraged right now too

I have been up and down around 172-173 for the past 2 weeks. And ive only lost 5 lbs last month. I don't know if im in a stall. Ive gone over what has changed or what ive changed in my diet and ive started drinking decaf iced tea now with splenda. im not sure if thats why my weight has been the way its been. Anyone have any idea? I got some stevia this morning and will try that, since its natural...any ideas friends?

Thanks Lissa. I do think ive hit a stall. It is terrible! But i lost a lb this weekend. hopefully it doesn't go back up a lb like it has been thank you!

Wow! I'm 4 months and have lost 54lbs! So I'm way slower than you! U are doing very well! Just be thankful! I'm stuck @ a stall right now and its taking its sweet time! Keep it up! U are way ahead of me!

thanks friends. I think i have hit a major stall. i hope ive hit a stall, rather than my weight loss just stopping

im right with you sleevestalker. Ive been up and down a lb for like 3 weeks now. Im so worried that this is it! How do we know this is a stall and that this will pass?? Im sooo scared and disappointed. Ive lowered my calories so maybe thats why? Its so hard because im trying to find a happy medium because enough calories, and not too much calories!

I had surgery on June 23rd 2011 with Dr. Braverman. He is awesome! You can message me too if you would like ! Hi iegal !!!

My hair loss has gotten sooo bad! Im scared to brush my hair im taking biotin, don't really know if its working but im still taking it every day religiously. I will look into MSM. Hope my hair loss slows. Good luck everyone!

WOW congrats!!! You look amazing!!!

OH NO!! im having my gallbladder removed this Friday! Hope i don't have any post op problems. Ive had a really good post op VSG experience, with no food problems what so ever, so i will be very bummed if i become sick with eggs, and chicken ( stuff i LOVE right now )

no these staples stay in , and scar tissue does form over it.

i have been averaging 9 lb loss the past 3 months, but the 4th month i only lost 5 i am hoping to get it back up there. But i guess it does happen!!

What an inspiration!!!!!!!!! Congrats to you!!

i feel like my hunger has gotten really bad these past few days. I am hoping it is because my TMO will be next week. But i fee like i don't ever get full. I know that our stomach will allow more food, but how do we deal with that? Increase our intake, which increases our calories? im only almost 4 months and i feel like i can eat and eat and eat ive always been like this since surgery, but it my hunger has seemed to have gotten stronger!

thank you!

Hi everyone, I am almost 4 months out. How many calories did you get in at 4 months? ive noticed that im more hungry than before , not sure if im needing to up my calories. i range right now between around 800. ( sometimes as low as 700, or as high as 900) Please let me know how much you were taking in. Thank you!! jenn

I have the same problems. But i would get them on my inner thighs sometimes. Right before surgery i got one on my thigh was sooo worried. But i called my surgeon just to let them know and they said as long as you don't have any on your abdomen you are fine! Just let them know before hand if you can, but it shouldn't stop your surgery. I was scared of that too! good luck!

Thank you Stephanie! That helps a lot!!

i am sorry for you. but don't let her get in the way of your success. Focus on YOU and do what you need to do. Hopefully she will come around and support you 100% Good luck!!

oh my goodness! best of luck to you. hope you feel 100% when all of this is taken cared of
