Sleeved on Feb 20/12 starting weight 255 Current weight 130 total weight loss 125

Well for my hubby's 38th next month I thought I would do something totally different and I bought a stripper pole and a DVD.. So I have one month to learn. And I want swim with the sharks!!

We all came to a stall/ stand still. But then it will pick up again. And you are right on target. Remember your body went throw major trauma. It needs time to heal. The best thing for you to do is STOP going on the scale!!! Some times it can be a major distraction. You might not be losings in # but you are so losing it in inches!!!

Really you lost 26 pounds and it hasn't even been a month yet!! That's great. It normally takes 6 months to a year to lose the weight. That's what my doctor said. I started out at 255 and now I'm down to 132 and on Feb 20th it well be a year for me. You are doing great!!!

I think at one point in the begging stages WE were all thinking this!!! Maybe not the regret part. But what the freak was I thinking!!! Meaning you wanted that steak or salad!!! But with time it gets better and easier. And you just have to change your habits. It's hard for awhile but be leave me it gets easier day by day!!! Best of luck :-)

I think we all were you were, in the begging but the 2end month your outlook on things change! You see your body changing and your whole out look is in a better place. You feel better and you start looking at the brighter side of things. I'm coming up on 1 year in Feb 20 and I have lost 122 pounds and I'm so happy that I had the surgery now... So will you. Just keep strong :-)

Hello, I would love to be buddies with you guys. I had my surgery on Feb20th and I have lost 103 pounds. I but I'm scarred at the same time. I feel like I need to stop losing weight now and I'm still losing about 4 pounds a week. My BMI is 23.65 and I so freaking happy about this I NEVER in a million years did I think I would be on the weight scale. I try to talk to my family and they say you should be happy. I am but I don't want too look sick. I spoke with my rotor and we have upped my calories to 1200 already. Never thought that this was going to happen that soon....lol have any of you went throw any of this. Sorry my name is Melanie and I'm married and have a beautiful daughter named Shania. That is 10 years old. I have been struggling with my weight since I was diagnosed with MS. That was 8 years ago. And I stopped smoking about a year and a half ago. Im really new at all this, meaning this web site so please excuse me if I'm coming off to strong....lol

I had my sleeve done on Feb 20th of this year. I have lost 101 pounds. My stomach is very picky. I used to eat all the pasta and cream sauces and bugers and pizzas. Now I still want it from time to time. But I can't handle it. I feel like some one is punching my gut!! I think its the fat. If I could eat a slice of pizza or taco once or even twice a month I think there's nothing wrong with that. The other thing that I do is I really try not to eat after 5;30pm.... it's just something that I have drilled in my head and it makes a major difference for me and aswell as my family. Best of luck

On Feb 20th/12 I had my surgery and this month it will be 2 months, I'm still have problems going to the bathroom!! I have lost in total of 50 pounds since I had my surgery. I feel great but I can't go to the bath room, I have tried Benefiber 3X aday and stool softens and ect.... Does anyone else have the problem and what did they do for it.

Hello, I was sleeved On Feb 20th /12 and it took me about 3 weeks before I could even drink 60 onces aday. My doctor told me just to keep trying. I was sore for awhile aswell. Do to all the gas they pumped inside me. I was told not to chew any GUM, cus it cause more gas at that time. Needed to wait for like a month, witch was hard for myself cus I was a smoker!! It well get a lot better, all I can say is keep walking it does help. When I was in the hosptail the nurses would drive me crazy with all that walking, But it helped me alot getting the gases out of my system. and my chest didn't feel like it was about to crack open, It will all work out. Good luck
