aubrey222 replied to Tazwella's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I had the revision in April 6. And I've lost 44lbs in 4 months. Nothing is happening so fast -
weight loss before revision
aubrey222 replied to Caela88's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
When you lose weight before the surgery you shrink the fat around your liver. I have met ppl in the surgeons office who went from lab band to sleeve and woke up to find the sleeve was not done because it was not safe to get around the liver. try and lose the weight and get the surgery done safely -
Why Am I Not Losing Weight?
aubrey222 replied to jessica0728's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I also lost slowly and have stayed that way. I'm 4 months out and have lost 44lbs. I eat very little and go to the gym 5 days a week. It's very frustrating but I'm starting to accept the fact that it will come off eventually and the surgery was not magic -
When was your surgery? Mine was April 6 and I've lost 40lbs with lots of hard work. I thought it was going to be much quicker.... Congrats on your loss

47 days after gastric sleeve
aubrey222 replied to meryam's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm also a very slow loser. Hardly eat. Gym 5 days a week and I was ever on April 6. Today July 19 and I have only lose 40lbs. It's discouraging sometimes but I see the inches dropping off my waist even when the scale is not moving. Try and stay positive and motivated -
I use the carb control

My Revision Story
aubrey222 replied to factoryline's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
I also had the lab band and now have a sleeve. The Lap band initially worked then stopped or I was less committed. Now I have a sleeve for 6 weeks and have only lost 20 lbs. I should've lost much more. The surgeon does not understand why -
3 week stall with weight gain, normal?
aubrey222 replied to sjuarez's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
My surgery was in April 6. Since then I have lost 20lbs. Nothing in the last 2 weeks Except for a 2 lb gain. I'm depressed! -
I was sleeved on April 6 and to date have only lost 22 lbs. I rarely eat. I should be losing more weight. The only thing I can think of is the lexapro? Any insight

aubrey222 replied to FlabbyNat's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

My surgery is Monday April 6th
aubrey222 replied to MPerkins's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I was also sleeved on April 6 and was wondering how much have you lost since surgery. I have only lost 16lbd since I left the hospital. I'm so worried. I eat hardly nothing less than 500 calories. Why am I not losing faster ???? -
In April 6 I had my lap band removed and had a sleeve. In still have pain in the left side of my belly button in between 2 incisions. It feels like I have a bruise under my skin and hurts when I sit up from lying down or stand up from driving too much. Anyone know what this is???

Has anyone had terrible heartburn. Mine is so bad. I was sleeved on April 6 and I would say for the last week it's just killing me
-
I do take Prilosec ounces a day and Carafate 2 times a day and I still have killer heartburn
-
Everyone sounds like they are doing great. I feel kinda depressed because I had the sleeve on April 6 and I have lost 17lbs. I hardly eat or drink anything because I rarely feel hungry. I thought I would've lost More by now

What size did you start at and what size are you now? In how long?

Food is not appealing
aubrey222 replied to Ariadne1234's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It's hard to eat things that don't appeal to you. As for me I prefer sugar free pudding to protein shakes any day lol -
Today is our 2 week anniversary. 17lbs down from surgery
