Hi everyone! I need your help! I was sleeved last June and have lost 70 pounds. Originally 168. I let my work and personal life get the best of me! Any suggestions to get back on track? I am ready to recommit to my goal. I still have at least 40 to my goal weight. Your suggestions are welcome.

I am at 14 Weeks and just now starting to experience hair loss! Is there something I can take? Any info would be appreciated.

I am 4 months post open and wondering how many calories I should be eating per day? What about carbs? My nut only talks quantity. Any help is appreciated.

I eat about 7-800 calories mostly Protein. I do try for 60 gms. of protein and usually get it in. I am thinking I will try to up my zinc.

What part of Mexico? Please post contact info.

My son's wedding is Dec 22 and I also wanted to be in Onederland but its coming off really slow! This was a big decision and I too felt that momentary fear. I am so thankful for everyone on this site, for their amazing encouragement and support. I couldn't have gone this far without ALL the help.

I had lots of hair to start with but I can feel and see the hand fills I vacuum up after I do my hair. I guess we take the good with the bad. The good news so far is that it grows back! Looking forward to that!

Thank you so much! This helped me understand what might be happening to me and I am definitely making changes! Thanks again.

HELP! I was sleeved on June 23 and my weight loss has virtually stopped! I haven't lost but a couple pounds in 5 Weeks. I am taking my vitamins, working out, getting 60+ protein, and trying to keep low carbs. I am exhausted from trying to figure it out! I am staying at around 700 calories per day and I can't figure it out! I also feel hungry. I can eat about a cup of food 3 times a day plus a couple snacks. Any help would really be appreciated.

Jaspers .... I am totally interested! How can we connect?

Hey June Sleevers! Please post your sleeve dates and weight loss! I love reading the numbers plus its great incentive! Please!

Help! I was sleeved June 2012. In the past 3 weeks i have been getting intense cravings! I feel hungry all the time! Is this what people call head hunger? I have no absolutely no problems with food so I am getting concerned. Is this normal? I have lost 45 lbs. In 15 Weeks and it seems like a low number. Any suggestions?

I was sleeved on June 26 I gave been in a stall for about 2-3 Weeks. Post-op I was 267. Now I am 222. I am still thrilled with the results but wish it was a little faster. I am able to eat anything but trying hard to make good high protein and low carb choices. I so happy to read this forum, it's an amazing journey with AMAZING people!

I was sleeved on the 23rd and I have lost 34 lbs so far - all post-op. I have been on soft foods for about two weeks. I am able to eat pretty much anything but sticking to protein and veggies. I am really excited for all of us!

Can you guys tell me what your calorie or quantity daily limits are? What should mine be? Are we supposed to be counting carbs? I am 5 Weeks post-op. Sleeved June 23. Any info would be terrific!

Hey Sweetums, thanks so much for the words of wisdom and your encouragement. This morning the scale moved- FINALLY! It has gone up a couple of times since my surgery. Did that ever happen to you?

Is it really necessary to take vitamins throughout the whole day - every two hours? I realize that Iron and calcium should not be taken together, but taking them every two hours is really a pain. Anyone have an opinion?

Thanks so much for your responses! I am trying hard not to compare myself to some of you out there that are having amazing results. I am still very happy to be in this position and to be on this journey.

My guide says 4ozs 3 times a day, 60 grams of protein, 64 ozs of liquid. I can only eat about 2-3 ozs at a time but within a couple of hours I am hungry. My doctor and nut say I need to eat only 3 times. Right now I am eating 4-5 times a day, getting my protein down and usually under 800. I don't have a problem with anything even though I am still sticking to soft solids. Am I doing something wrong? I have lost 29 lbs in 5 Weeks.

What a difference! Keep up the good work - you look great!

What an amazing journey. I would like to see your pictures. Can you please add me to your friends list? Thanks for being so inspirational.!

Is it OK to have watermelon after only 1 month? I love watermelon and have been craving all summer!
