Not finding any posts. Am i the first? Let me say I'm proud to be in this group!

I want to add, have patience and faith. This will work for you!

Calm down, take a deep breath. You won't stop losing at 9 weeks. The less you have to lose, the slower it comes off. I would suggest putting the scale away. Weigh and measure once a week. You didn't gain all the weight in a few weeks, you wont lose it all in a few weeks.

Yum!

Sorry, I haven't had the conversion. But I'm sending prayers for healing, and a quick recovery for you now.

Awesome!

Could be your eating too fast, or too much for your new tummy. There are still some things my sleeve doesn't like, and I'm one year out.

Hi, I'm from North Mississippi. That would make us neighbors. When are scheduled for surgery?

Congratulations! Your doing awesome for six months.

You Look Awesome!!

That's so funny! But I'm serious, i used the clinic in Cancun, so it probably was the same little guy!

LOl! Probably the same poor male nurse they sent in to my room to put on my compression hose, right before surgery. Little tiny hose, nice giant thighs, and I had an IV in my arm and couldn't help much. So embarrassing. Wonder what they talk about when they go home?

I had surgery a year ago in Cancun with Dr verboonen. I'm down 81 lbs and feeling great! I highly recommend him. Feel free to message me if you have any more questions.

Sleeved one year June 15th. Down 81lbs! I would like to lose another 5 llbs if possible. My body seems happy where it is, so we'll see.

It sounds like everyone's in agreement. In the first few weeks, drinking is more important than eating, so drink, drink, drink!

Awesome job!

It's very normal to have a stall at three weeks. Be patient. Your body is adjusting to the lower calories and amount of food.

I like to buy those rotisserie chickens. You can make a dozens different things with it, and no cooking. Example: Toss on a pre-package salad. Mix with a little mayo and relish, and you have a chicken salad, If you can tolerate bread, then you have a chicken sandwich, or my favorite, just melt some cheese and eat it like that. In the early days, if I didn't feel like eating or cooking, I would experiment with different flavors of Protein shakes.

Your doing terrific! I'm 10 months out and about 10 lbs from goal. My body is content here. After a 3 month stall, it has finally started to move again. I have read where a few people have continued to lose after meeting their goal, and had to up their calories. I don't believe that I will be one of those people, cause my body likes the cushion...Good luck and God Bless!

Yes Amanda, you have been introduced to the Slimies! Eat too much, eat too fast and this is the present you receive...Uggh, I'm a pro at it!

The other night while laying close to my Husband, he asked me if I knew that I had hip bones, I say of course I have hip bones, and he's like " No, really, you have HIP BONES."

Mondays, thirty minutes working the arms, then one hour of spinning class. It kicks my butt so hard, I'm still tired on Tuesday!

Also I wanted to say to DawnDenise, I don't think it's normal to bleed through your bandages, clothes and bedsheets from a hospital room. I hope that someone checks on you ASAP!

I used Dr. Verboonen and Sheri Burke in Cancun, and had a good experience. As of matter of fact, I sent her an email asking for some info (nine months post-op) and she got back to me within minutes. Sorry you had bad experience....

Same as Roserie, Severe nausea, pain that started in the front and worked it's way around to my back. Doctor said I was full of stones. Oh, I had no warning, that was my one and only attack.
