My doc told me that it puts you and baby at risk. Baby won't get all the nutrients it needs especially if body is in ketosis. I have PCOS and surgery is my last resort in hopes of conceiving. If not, I'm ok with that! I love the energy and other NSVs I'm seeing now~ and my monthly has returned after soooo many years being absent! Down 23lbs since surgery 5/1/12 and 54lbs overall.

Yes, the 2oz are normal. I'm a month out 5/1/12 and can't seem to get past that or 1/2 cup of food depending on what it is. Down 23lbs for the month and 54.8lbs overall

And shout out to you!! You're doing great!! Keep it up!

Love the topic! I am experiencing similar issues. I'm 1 month post op, period showed up 2 days before surgery and back for the 2nd time without any medications. Like someone said, although losing the weight would be nice, to stop shaving would be more than enough for me! I hate the bloating and the bad attitude I have but much better since I've been exercising. I'm down 21.3lbs since the surgery and 54lbs overall. I love what the sleeve is doing for me thus far and I'm so happy about the portion control!

Same here! Mine appeared 2 days before surgery and reappeared today without taking Metformin. The sleeve is definitely working. 1 month post op down 21.3lbs since surgery and 54.1 overall.

So today made a month I have been sleeved! I'm down 54.8lbs from HW and 21.3lbs since surgery! I don't regret a thing, not even the 3rd week stall that the CHEETOS possibly contributed to it ~ it only made me work harder! No way possible I could have done this without the sleeve!!

I'm in a stall as well but I have also introduced soft foods already (Sleeved May 1st). I'm on MFP ~ jmcbride, I also do YouTube videos and I talked about my stall this week as well as my rendezvous with Cheetos!! So don't give up, stalls are apart of the journey. Have you taken your measurements? Though I don't see the weight dropping, I can tell a difference in the way my clothes fit. Sent from my iPad using VST

Nikki I'm 3 weeks out and at a stall myself. I just began soft foods so I'm assuming the body is getting used to the changes. I agree with Jimmy, step away from the scale!!! I gained a pound BUT I also had some Cheetos! attaching my 3 weeks post op video ~ best wishes to you! Sent from my iPad using VST

Best wishes to you all! Attaching my 3 week update from YouTube . Sent from my iPad using VST

I'm a May Sleever but have been following you guys thread to prepare me. I'm currently 3 weeks out and I am in a stall as well. I exercise daily at least 45 minutes, drink my liquids and get my Protein in. I have been guilty of slider foods ~ Cheetos cause they go down easy. Just want to encourage those in the stall. I truly believe its our bodies adapting to the changes. Im a partial payer and I spent a LOT so this surgery HAS TO WORK FOR ME!! Sent from my iPad using VST

I'm jpmcbride ~ could really use some healthy ideas and the accountability! From the south where everything is Fried or in gravy ~ that's all I know . A bit better since surgery.

Sleeved on May 1st. I lost 30lbs preop and 17.1lbs post op. I'm at a stall right now, weight is fluctuating up and down. I have began walking and using the elliptical, can do any ab work yet. Eating soft foods pretty good but can't eat over 1/2 cup or 1/4 depending on what it is.

They were EXCELLENT!!!!!! I am very happy with my sleeve and the services recieved on 4 South! Everyone was very professional! Sent from my iPad using VST

I started 2 days before surgery and had not seen mine in 2 YEARS due to PCOS!!! Docs said it was the stress and pounds lost before surgery.

I haven't received it yet, so if you do, do you mind sharing? Thank you! Sent from my iPad using VST

One week post op and down 12.7lbs!! I feel great!! Below I'm sharing actual footage the day of surgery! Sent from my iPad using VST

Thank you!

Yes, I added a boiled egg, sweet pickles, low fat mayo...any suggestions?

I began purée today and started with Tuna. I did 2 ounces and stopped. Didn't feel any discomfort which freaks me out!!!! Am I not eating enough?? I did a 1.5 ounce can and looks like it will last 3 days. How do i calculate those 2 ounces I had? Thanks!
