Hi, Its been a really long time since I have been on here but right now I really need support. I had my sleeve one year ago Sept. I lost slowly the first 3 or 4 months but lost in total 45 lbs. I have stayed the exact same weight since Jan. I was able to eat with no complications within a few weeks after surgery. The fact that I haven't lost any more weight since then is so frustrating. I now find myself getting back into old habits of eating food that I shouldn't and weighed myself today to find that I have gained 5 lbs back. I just sat on the floor and started crying, I feel like such a failure. I don't want to give up but I don't know what else to do. I had such high hopes before I had the surgery and couldn't wait to be skinny but I weigh 211 and am not even close to my goal. Any words of wisdom or ideas to get this weight loss started again would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much, Summer.

I was sleeved on the same day and I have lost 7 lbs as well. However the last 2 days I have gained a pound both days. I don't know how this is possible since I am eating so few calories. I have just been trying to drink as much water as I can to see if maybe my body was just retaining water since I was not drinking enough. It is very discouraging though.

Todays the big day! I really should be asleep right now considering that it's after midnight and I have to be at the hospital at 7am. I am just to anxious to sleep. I kept myself busy all day so that I would not think about the surgery but now its all that I can think about. I know the jitters are normal but I can't stop thinking about the what ifs. I praying that everything will go smooth. See you all on the losers bench.

Yay we are getting sleeved on the same day. I am nervous and excited as well. I have had to be on an all liquid diet for the past week so only one more week to go. Cant wait to be on the losers bench! Good luck on your journey!

I am on day 3 of my all liquid pre op diet. I craved EVERYTHING the first two days, but today it hasn't been as bad. I am hoping it gets easier. My surgery is on Sept 12th. I have heard that this pre op diet is much harder than the post op. We just need to take it day by day.

I am on day 2 of the pre op diet. My Dr will only let us have a protein shake and clear liquids for two weeks. No food. I don't know how I am going to do this. Right now everything sounds better than broth and a nasty protein shake. I stopped drinking caffeine last week, the headaches were horrible. I took a lot of Tylenol.

I am scheduled the same day here in Phoenix. I am getting excited and nervous at the same time. How is your pre op diet going? I am having a hard time already, full liquids for 2 weeks is tough. Good luck with everything.

I just got the call that my surgery will be on Sept 12 2011 with Dr Schuster in Arizona! I am very excited and scared at the same time. Definitely having last meal syndrome. I can't stop eating out, like I am never going to eat real food again.

This is my first time posting and I am really excited to see that there are others in the same time frame as me. My surgery is on Sept 12, 2011 with Dr. Schuster.
