I am trying to get in my proteins, because of food allergies I can not eat fruits or vegetables. No seafood of fish. I eat three times a day. I follow the nutritionist diet planned. I walk 10 blocks going and 10 blocks returning back home every day and twice a day. This how allowed me to maintain myself from gain more.

I am looking for someone or a group of people who have been sleeve in the Bronx. I need to get back from this failure that I feel. I lost around 50 lbs. and gain back 20 lbs. I just hate my aftercare was hoping to be followed at least once a month but it never happen. So here I am about to make my two years since I had surgery and battling not to gain any more. I am so lost doing this by myself. If you are a group that has meetings please let me know. Thank you.

Don't be scared that stall happens to all. Remember that you are not just losing on the scale you are also losing inches on your body. Increase exercise and eat healthier and don't stress because it will keep you in stall mode. Set back happen but how you handle it can make a difference. I am living thru that right now. You are doing a great job and it will bounce back and you will reach your goal sooner than you know it.

I watch the show and cry every time I see these people. I wonder why the light never went on when they were a 100 pounds over wait. My reason that I watch the show is because it is a reminder that I could get that big. My light went on when I weighed 200 pound and then got very mad at myself when looking for surgery went up to 265. My surgery was a success I don't regret it but wish my clinic could be like the clinic they show on TV. The after care is as important as the care before and during.

This will not help but you are not the freak I am. My year has come and went and the only thing I have done is made myself sick. I lost 50 pounds and then gain about 10 pounds. I fight so hard to not go over. This choice does not always turn out the way we want. So get out there and find yourself a support group, an exercise buddy is a great idea and find yourself a buddy that is going through the weight lose program with you. I did this by myself without a good aftercare support. Now the new is coming and I have nothing to show for myself. Correction I have more medical issue now than before surgery. I am such a loser. I went from 265 to 204 back up to 220. SMH

You are so right you should know your body. Because I fever vomiting and not being able to hold down my liquids. Doctors assistant told me that is normal and don't worry about. I am glad I know my body because it turn out I had a very bad infection that caused a mild heart attack in the ER. I spent two weeks in the hospital. Fromthe surgery I spent 3 days went home for 2 days and returned for 14 days.

I believe the slower you lose it the less skin you develope. I now am developing extra skin. I went to se a plastic surgeon and he said I could do something now as simple as a tummy tuck. I to go through the same thing with my mom she losed her weight on weight watcher but she is small now and I say wow I will be there soon.

Yes Hug that pillow when you cough and when you sneeze. I try everything, but coughing was the only way to get that mucus out. Good luck

Yo are not alone, you will get it back slowly. But for now you must try to have sex with your huband. TMI Sorry. He is there for you through your changes don't push him away. You can always please your husband eventhough you don't want to be pleased. I am now about 7 month s out and I don't do it the way I use to but since the weight lost it has been the best sex I have. Good luck

Sorry to hear that, I am in the same boat. I just don't know what else to do I am going back on Protein shakes at least one a day.and figure out what is next for me. I started this with problems, I can not eat Fresh fruit and vegettable; Fish, seafood, soda. My allegries do allow me too. So my menu is limited.

Jump start your stall by change you habits around. Keep a food log and increase your exercise. If you are just walking, then walk you some hills. Also do some Zumba. Get some type of game that focus on you moving. I like wii but I have a 360 too. I have had one stall. now I am losing inches and the min pound is 1.7 lbs. Good luck 7month out now.

I am at the same spot as you but I know what is going on. I am not exercising as much as I should and sometimes I don't get enough food. I still do knowwhat the full feeling is, so I stop after a few bites. Too jump start I fasted for one day then went on liquid and the next day I started weighing everything I ate or drank. Now I am doing weight watchers to help me better plan my meal. Because this is just a tool and not a mircle I have to work at it every day. Just today was hard for me, I live in New York and I was at 34th and Penn Station I was walking by my favorite food places and had to tell my self you don't have money for that and you really can't fit that in your intake budget. I thank god I made it thru that walk. What I am saying is you may have to change things up now and then but you always have to work at it GOOD LUCK

Not sure but I started at the same weight and when I saw the doctor he was glad I was losing weight very slowly. He said you will catch up to the weight lose. Yes everyone has a 3 week stall but this stall for me was losing inches off my waist. At 3 month I stop drinking Protein shakes because I was eating my protien. I also lost my hair for about two months and had to load up on some vits. and Biotin shampoo. You did not gain it over night so you can't lose it over night. Look into chair exercises, it helps me with my shoulder pains and my diabetes. Good Luck

Just be patience and continue to do the right things and stop watching tthe scale. You did not get heavy over night and the weight lost is not healthy if you lose it to fast either. Get your self a wii and give your self a goal every month and make your goal small. If you keep a food log in addition to keeping a exercise log this way you can make changes so you don't stall. One more thing you are different from everybody else. There is no correct amount to lost at any given time. I three months I stall on the weight lost but I was losing inches off my waist. My goal is a min of 5lbs a month.

Well I am about 5 month out now and I still can not eat 4 oz of steak. I can eat about 2 Ozs. I can eat about 3 ozs. of chicken. and 2 ozs of pork loin. The only problem is that it has to be moist and I don't like gravy or sauce on my food. I was able to eat these things about 3month out.

I don't regret having this WLS but I notice I have lost a very good and I could never get them back. This person protected me thru everything. She did not allow me to get hurt. But since I have been losing weight this friend has gone missing. I cry more and I have noticed that people are walking over me. I can not look for her because I can't offer to go backwards. RIP dear friend I will not gain you back.

Don't worry it will get better. I now have to tell hubby I am tired can we take a break for tonight. I have sex every morning like clock work since I lost 50+ pounds. Before I would beg for it and get it once a month. Good Luck

You weight lose sounds great, I on the other hand have lost 50.4 pound since 4/11/12. The docs are happy but he tels me not to worry about the weight lost because the goal that I want should be reached in a year. He tells everyone the weight gain did not happen over night. So look at your inches and the weight on thescale make sure that you are eating health beause it helps with the changes. This way you would not put the pounds back on. Good luck on your journey

For me it was the same, You tell yourself OMG what HaveI done and when it is over you would not take back the choice you made.

Well I have not cut my hair yet, But my hair lost is down to the normal level now. I have been using Biotin and fall fight by garneia shampoo and Shea Moisture "Organic Yucca & Aloe Thickening Growth Milk it is for thin and fine hair. Give it a try. Good luck

For me it has change it has gotten better. I feel the changed was with me. It took me a long time to find my soul mate. So I think that is very important to know. How strong is your marriage? these are the question you need to ask yourself. Sit down and discuss on what your mate feels about WLS. Explain your feelings. Tell your mate why this is go for you and the marriage. I was with a man that use to tell me he loved me just the way I was but when I met my husband I told him that I never want to hear those word again. Every body has a problem with something. So as for me I am happy to have done this for myself. I am having more loving moments with hubby. He can't keep his hands off of me. I walk more and able to do more around the house. I am finishing off school and going back to work.

Well that feeling is normal I have heard. Many don't speak because we have a mate. So get out there and find someone that would scratch that itch. Or as my daughter calls it to keep it clean in front of the kids "do some coloring"

It happen to me too. but it was after 3 month I was eating a sandwich I took two bites and then it just all came up. I told the doctor the next day during my regular visit he could not give me an answer. It has not happen again. Good luck hope i can find the reason

Well after talking to the doctor and buying some products I can say I am seeing normal hair loss. This is compare to the rate of hair loss from before I had the surgery. I take a Biotin when I remember it and I use a product call Shea Moisture: Organic Yucca & Aloe Thinking Growth Milk with Biotin & Bamboo Extract it is a hair dressing cream and I wash my hair with Garnier Fall Fight which also contains Biotin. I hope my experiences brings hope to others.

I was told to wait for 40 days. I have read that others have done it sooner but the doctor want to make sure that I didn't do any movement that could cause any problems. So we wait for full sex and I just did my part to keep him happy. I know TMI. I just want you to know that it was worth it because I went back in with a very bad infection and then I got my period. So by the time we did it I was 30 lbs less. Since then he can not keep his hand off me.
