Hey, I was sleeved on April 16th, so far I've lost 22 lbs. However, my weight is at a complete stand still. Why???? One thing that I notice my stomach will grawl. Am I ok? I can tell I'm losing inches. Is it better to loose inches or actual weight? And I notice that I'm sleepy more often.

I'm 2 years post opt however, I've done really good. I gained 6 1/2 should I really be alarmed? I know that I've made some bad eating choices. I've invested in a treadmill. My weight lost has been between 98- 105, pounds. I have a Pannicelectomy back in November 2013. However, I still have some anbdominal swelling could this cause weight gain also? I refuse to go back to the old me...

It's been a while since I've been on here. So I decided to get on today. However, I have a question has anyone that had the Gastric Sleeve procedure followed up with a Tummy Tuck? The reason that I asked is because the weight lost will cause the skin to get loose especially in the stomach area. Need to hear from my fellow sleeve friends.

I've read several topics on stalls. However, in my experience what has broken my stalls is eating something sweet. Once I do that the pounds begin to drop. I had my procedure done on April 16th, and I've lost a total of 65 lbs.... Talk about feeling great.

It's been a minute. I'm going on 10 weeks post opt doing really well I've lost 45 lbs. However, I've been craving a hamburger and Chinese food. What's going on in my mind? I know i can only eat a small portion. However, I'm craving the taste so bad. Is this common or is it that my mind is playing tricks on me?????

I purchases a protein supplement on today from GNC. The product is called Amplify Smoothie the worker said its pretty good. I'm pretty deficient in my protein I'm lucky to get in 20 grams a day. I'm right at 8 weeks post opt is this common? I can't eat very much without getting full. The protein shake powder cost me $ 60.00, before I break the seal do you guys think this was a wise investment for me?

I was sleeved on April 16th, and I've lost a total of 28 lbs is this considered to be a good start ? I have not been able to take my Vitimans they make me throw up its something about those chewables. I was told to take One A Day Women and Caltrate. I feel like I'm doing pretty good other than that. What you guys think?

I've been at a stall for the last two weeks. I weighed myself only to discover I gained 1lb and 6oz. I'm not happy at all. Could this mean the stall is about ready to break? And my weight lost will start declineing? I really hope so I like less numbers not more!!!!! Is this normal? I need feed back please.......

My sleeve was done on April 16th. I'm now on mushy foods. I can't stomach another piece of fish of any kind. I was thinking of eating some Chili I was told that Wendy's chili is healthy. Should I try it my sleeve is three weeks old?

Today Is the 7th day of broth and I'm about to go crazy. I can't stomach it anymore. I'm so tempted to try mash potatoes but yet I'm so afraid. I was sleeved on April 16th, and I have my follow up on tomorrow. Will it hurt to drink a Atkins Protein Shake?
