I guys I'm in need of some help. I had my gastric sleeve 04/09/12 1.5 years ago. I've been on a plateau for the last 6 months up 2 down 3 and so on. My big question since my DR went away to another state and I can't ask him. How much foo should I be eating? Sometimes I feel like it's too much. Can anyone help me out pls I'd really appreciate it. Hope everybody is having a great journey

Hehe u guess I'm not explaining myself too well ???? I meant the total amount of food on each meal per say 4oz of protein plus some salad rice and something else for dinner the quantity in total

Thank you girls that's great advise but can I ask you around how many oz are you consuming at each meal now? I think sometimes I can eat up to 10 oz.

I Guys I'm so happy with everything except that I'm having a big issue with my hair. It is falling progressively and I see holes on my scalp. I'm getting my protein vitamins and water in. Why is this happening does it ever stop? What to do? PS. I meant to say HAIR sorry

Hi guys I hope everyone is doing good!!! This is what happened. I'm 9 months out and today I went for my checkup I met with the nurse practitioner and she kind of got VERY discouraged. For the last 2-3 months I haven't been able to lose weight I'm up 2 down 2 and that's it, so I got worried, she said well Adriana I think this is it you're done loosing weight, and your body is just done, so I asked: does that mean that even if I keep going to the gym and eating well my body won't lose any more weight and she said yeah most likely. I'm terrified yeah I lost 63 lbs but I was hoping to be one of the 100 lbs "losers" did this happened to any of you? Can you be done by 9 months out? It's a little crazy to me but she might be right am I done?

Thank you so much it's hard not to get discouraged by the same people who did the surgery

Butternut squash soup, lentils soup are really good, kashi go lean oatmeal is high in protein and very yummy. I'm 9 months out and trust me it does get better don't worry, start introducing new food you might spit out some more than other but it's very normal. Most of us went through that. Good luck

One advise could be to buy liquid vitamins that maybe will sit longer since its liquid. How long have you been out? That happened to me at the beginning also, it was frustrating and scary, but as time went by I learned to eat slower that usual and I'm telling you smaller really smaller meals and Swallowing so slow that I could get anyone bored. I'm serious that helped a lot too. Good luck and please keep us posted

Look this is soooooo worth it that if for 10lbs you were to miss this huge opportunity well ill consider other choices. I'll be honest I got it done thinking it was going to be easier. Well, it's not. I get it now when they told me is only a tool but you will always remain on a diet. So do it now cuz it gets harder. Sorry but I'm telling u the truth

Mine was 7 months ago. It didn't hurt inside at all just the stitches were killing me for a week you know like with any surgery it's hard to get up. Be patience every single day gets better. And one Huge thing to remember WALK WALK WALK it doesn't matter how much the stitches or anything else hurt trust me walking makes u feel much better. Good luck!!!

I'm 8 months out and it's been over a month since I lost weight. I'm getting my protein I exercise 2 a week and prob have 1200 or less calories a day? Has anyone been in such a long plateau?

Most surgeons agreed on drinking been very dangerous and yes even without a sleeve it damages your liver, you never cared about counting calories I bet like many of us. Otherwise we wouldn't have come to this so drinking your calories I'm not sure it will be as important to you. When you drink one glass of wine or anything you'll get the buzz faster but what's the point on getting a sleeve to safe your life from deceases like high blood cholesterol or diabetes but you'll kill yourself from Cirrhosis. I'm not sure if you know but your liver gets the absorption of alcohol even more when you're sleeved. So I guess you should reconsider your priorities because even a little alcohol will get you in trouble. Another thing, many people become alcoholics I read an article after getting a sleeve because they like getting drunk so quickly and yes at the beginning it happened to me too but now I decided to only drink on especial occasions because I decided to safe my life

Yes you actually should it helps a lot or u can also use a measurement cup. Whatever fits into a 1/4 or if you're too hungry probably go for the 1/2 and that should be enough

I'm failing big time. I got sleeved in April and I have only lost 52 lbs. I'm really hungry most of the time and I'm snacking constantly. I'm just a failure when I thought no one could fail when getting sleeved. What can I do? I even gained weight

Hi there thanks for the answering I do exercise 3 times a week but my problem is the types of food just because it feels good even when is not the most nutritious, but at least it doesn't hurt

Mine took over 2 months almost 3 to heel. It got infected and the doctor opened it all the way so I was walking with my incision open for a while. I went to CVS and got gauze, tape and neosporine so every time I'd wash it with water dry it with the gauze and I'd put NPE and the cover it and I was fine but yes it takes a while. Just make sure it is dry and clean do it at least 2 times a day

Oh and make sure you take your Iron since it might make you weak

Same thing happened to me. It is because you've been given Heparine a blood thinner so it's completely normal that your period came as a result

Just wanted to thanks every single one of you in here for all the support you've given me and other people. I never thought a simple app or website could be so helpful. It means the world to me when you guys help out because sometimes we fall a little behind and once we come back here we get enthusiastic again, so thank you for taking the time on giving encouraging words and great tips
