Weird, I know. Before surgery, I had implanon and currently do. Between June 2010 and May 2012, I only had 3 periods. I have had three since my surgery in May 2012. I have lost 42 lbs, to date. It seems like my longest and most stubborn stalls magically break half way through these week and a half long periods I've been having. It seems contridictory, since most women gain weight during that specific week. I had not lost anything since June 20, almost two months ago, and BAM. I wake up this morning 4 lbs lighter. Just an observation! I was just curious to see if this is a trend with women sleevers.

Thank you all for the tips! I was not assigned a NUT after surgery. Only a 2 wk, 6 wk, and 6 month app! I am so thankful for the advice I find through the boards.

Thank you do much for the encouragement! I am also going to post my before and current pic. One in the silver dress is before. I am now 230. I have gone from size 20 pants, to size 16. I am blessed for my progression, so far. I just want to use my tool successfully.

I had surgery on May 24, 2012, starting out at 270 lbs at 5'10. I was on no pre surgery diet. I was only on liquids for two weeks afterwards. By July 30, I had lost 40 lbs! Unfortunately, I have been stalled ever since! I formed a few bad habits with sliders foods and laxity on exercise. I started, two weeks ago excercising as I should five days a week with either Zumba or C25K. I also stopped drinking any empty calories like Sweet Tea, or eating slider foods like Pringles. Even after that, AND taking a fiber supplement everyday, I've YET to move. I'm probably worrying for no reason, but it is hard to see rapid weight loss come to such a sudden and long stop. I have lost two inches around my waist since my stall that started in July. Any insight, ladies and gentleman?

Hi, you all! I am SO glad to hear all of these taller and "bigger structured" sleevers are eating around 1500 calories, like me. I had surgery on May 24, 2012. I have lost 40 lbs, but I've been stuck at 230 for a month and a half. I am so frustrated, like the quentisentail staller. I have been doing more Zumba and C25k to try and speed things a long. This can't be all I lose!

Ohhhh. You mean in general! Haha sorry! Mine was at 17. I'm not condoning underaged drinking by any means, but whenever I did until I was 21, it was either at my house, NOT on the road, or at a trusted friend's parents house. The mindset was that at least if we were going to drink, we'd be supervised and not out where no one knew where to find us. Also, parents never provided it to us. That was up to our finding.

I had mine about four weeks after surgery, and it was just a sip! It seriously burns my stomach and goes right through me. It is awkward going to bars and your friends and bartender asking, "Oh, you don't like your drink? You've barely touched it!!". I cannot throw them back like I used to. There's no room, and my tolerance has become soooo low!

I'm not sure what happened to the second one ring horizontal! Sorry, friends!

I was sleeved on May 24 of this year. The first two weeks, the weight came off vigorously! I wish I could say the same since then. Fortunately, a measly 25 lbs makes the biggest different already in how I feel physically and mentally. I am steadily losing ounces day by day, so at least I've not gained or completely stalled. Keeping the faith! These are before and after pics so far! The one in the silver dress is before.

That was what I was thinking. My doctor never gave me a set amount of protein that I need to be getting. The most he said at my follow up appointment was to be eating three meals a day and limit snacking as much as possible. I feel a bit lost compared to most people here on the forum. I guess I must educate myself. I only saw the dietitian once and that was while I was still hopped up on pain meds day one in hospital, and she just gave me a gastric bypass nutritional info packet, and said to go by that. It was disheartening.

Hi! I was just wondering if any of you have discomfort at the site of any of your sutures while doing Zumba? I am four weeks post op and was released to do any physical activity, so I had my first hour long class yesterday. I loved it, but during the jumping parts, my surgical sites were a bit tender.

Hey y'all! I was just wondering, for those of you who use My Fitness Pal on a daily basis, what percentage of your daily nutrition has been Protein? Also, I know that too much of fat and carbs are "BAD", but if those make up 2/3 of the whole day, which one is worse to have more of? I try to keep my protein at least around 20%, but it make me cringe to see the carbs percentage. I might add that I set my calorie goal to 800 cal a day. Every time I complete my log for the day it gives me a "starvation mode" warning.
