1 month out and lost 24 pounds.... that was great!!! Please dont feel is too little.... go to the supermarket and try to hold 24 pounds of rice or meat and see how heavy it is.

Cooper: You are actually buiding muscle and you think the scale is torturing you, but if you take measurements you ll see a huge diference. I also had a "low" BMI and its been slow if I compare with the huge portion of the people in the forum. I have not exercise but my Dr. told me once i start i most probably stop loosing at the rate i have been loosing.I know I should start my rotine but i honestly dont like to exercise. Excuse my broken english!!

I miss soda !!!! I have tried a few times but I feel so sick when i drink any pop that i have decided just to see and dream about it, and keep remembering why i was so big

My Dr. here in Panam? told me theres a big rate of divorce among WLS women. What do you think ?? After 23 years , Im thinking of "adios" my hubby.

I m almost 3 months out , my scar is not bulging but its a terrible purplish hue. Will it ever fade ??

Agree 100% with Shontel. I felt exactly like you are feeling,,, I read and reflect on your words. Drink your vitamins and protein shakes like religion. 2 more weeks and you will see a huge diference in your stamina and humor. Dont feel guilt to rest if you re tired it only temporary fatigue.

PAtience , it took your body a lot to gain all the weight. It will come down sooner or later. There is not another way with the sleeve. I had a stall and its sounds dumb but my scale was broken , my Mom stept in and she had the same weight as I did.... I tossed the thing to the trash and i go to the supermarket once a week and do weigh my self there and only there.

Hello I m 2 months out , does anyone know when the grehlin hormone comes back?? I was never hungry but lately I m waking up in the middle of the night starving and not being able to sleep again. I efuse to eat at that hour so I drink water but still kind of weird so early.

You are sleeved , you are mind hungry. It will go away in 2 more weeks!! You will understand that is your mind playing tricks on you.

YEs is sad for a couple of weeks...you completely abandoned your"best friend" and its lousy. I used to dream of eating bread, pasta, just like the ones in the Olive Garden Comercial. It was so real the dream woke me up. After a while.... you learn to live without your beloved friend... Again my english is not the best...sorry I think you can understand the basics of my mess.

Believe me i suffered the exact same anger you are feeling, I believe this is due to our body adjusting to the madness aor body suffered.

It will go away soon!!!! Let your new and tinyl tummy heal and become less rigid. Believe me it will change. Excuse my broken english please.

It happened to me too!!! Sleeved Dec 10 , lost 25 pounds and 15 days not an ounce. Finally yesterday 2 more down. I was relieved , thought that all of this was only to loose 25 pounds.

I m 5 weeks out ,,, had a rough time first 2 weeks,,,, I was back at work in 1 week.now days only acid reflux that i can cure with Nexium. Other than that, every time i see the mirror i just smile.... Go for it!
