alwayseating2012

I'm having my band removed on aug 7th, my dr said if I have too much scar tissue, I have to wait 1 year before I can get my sleeve. I had the band placed in 2007. Did anyone have this problem? I'm super bummed because I had all the fluid removed from the band 1 month ago and already gained 25 pounds...

Hi, I got sleeved aug 2012. I'm almost 36 pregnant and have only gained about 8 pounds. My baby is fine, just doesn't weigh a lot. She's about 4.3 and should be a little over 5 pounds now. Good luck to you.

Hi, I was able to drink the whole nasty thing! Yuck! Didn't throw up, wanted to though. Good luck!

Hi ladies, I had my sleeve aug 2012, I'm 35 weeks pregnant and have only gained 7 pounds. Dr told me today that my baby weighs only 4.2 pounds and should be around 5.5 pounds by now. Going to have another ultrasound next Tuesday and if baby isn't gaining anymore weight they will schedule my csection. Any ideas on how I can gain weight fast? I'm trying to eat more Protein and ensure drinks. I want a healthy baby. thanks for any ideas.

Sleeved 8/7, for Breakfast I'll have 2 egg whites and 2 tablespoons of refried Beans with salsa. lunch I'll have 3/4 of a cup of lentils Soup. For snack ill have a cheese stick or yogurt. For dinner I'll have 1/2 cup of tuna with 4 crackers and a lil scoop of hummus. I'll sneak in a protien shake through out my day to get my protien in. I had all my energy back after 1 week out. No pain at all. I started working out after 2 weeks. 45 minutes of stair climber and weights every other day. I have only lost 15 pounds... Start weight 180 now only 165 I'm getting very fustrated but I know I have to lose eventually !!! I used to eat McDonald's mcgriddle or sugary Cereal almost everyday. And lunch forget it, it was chilly cheese fries or something horrible. My day was never less than 3000 calories, and now that I eat a lot better nd actually work out, no weight loss. Not sure why, I have to ask my dr next week.. Good luck to all my aug ppl

Shannon, I don't think u did bad at all.. I too have ate some good stuff like u but not like the old days.. Just A few bites and I was done... I'm 5 weeks out.. Good luck to u hun!!

Has anyone gone camping after having surgery... It's probably a bad idea ??? Is it possible to still have a good time??? I feel bad not going with all my family and friends

Hi, I'll be 5 weeks out tomorrow . I will start with soft foods this week. I have only lost 15 pounds the first 7 days.Surgery was 8/7 weighed 179 and now 164. I was working out almost everyday. I'm a little bummed good luck! Good job cowgirl Jane!!!

I was married with a cheater for 8 years.. I never had the balls to leave him becuase of our 2 young children. FYI the cheating never stops hunny. Point is I finally left him when he was cheating on me with my friend. It was hard and I can just imagin for u at this point how it must be. I would move into a friends house of family member until ur strong enough to do it on ur own. I'm really sorry!! U can do it, your pretty and young and ur going to lose weight. You are going to feel so accomplished. That's messed up he would do that knowing ur going through a hard time right now...

Not sure about that one... I think it will be ok. Just suck on the lemon , don't eat it. U can eat a piece of watermelon with lemon and chilli powder!! Yummy that's sounds really good right now..

For sure!! I see my dr sep 13... I'll let u know how it goes. Good luck to you!! Losing weight slow is better than no weight loss!!

I was putting tapatio on my chicken brooth after the 1st week. You should be ok. Only problem would be if u get heartburn... Good luck

I'm 4 weeks out made myself salsa verde to put on everything!!! Just make sure u blend everything very well. How many weeks out r u? I even put it on my soups.... Mmmmmm good!

I'm 4 weeks out and haven't lost weight for 2 weeks. I was sleeved 8/7 from 179 now 165. I've been eating 1000-1200 calories daily. I workout everyday and weights every other day. Not sure what I'm doing Wrong..

Don't feel bad, I'm 4 weeks out and have been the same weight for 3 weeks... I'm eating 1000-1200 calories daily but work out for 1 hour plus weight train too. Surgery date 8/7 179pounds, went down to 165 in 1 1/2 weeks and have been the same! I have lost inches but not weight.

Wow, I feel the same way. I'm 4 weeks out and I can eat almost half a cup of refried Beans with 1 melted string cheese on top. Then like 2 hours later I'm eating half a cup of tuna with 3 crackers. I don't know what's wrong with me..I got my sleeve 8/7 and my weight then was 179 , I went down to 165 in 1 1/2 weeks and have been there ever since! no more weight loss so far. I have been working out and doing weights. What kinds of foods are you eating?
