Thanks for all your replies. I'm going to make some changes and I know I will see some positive results

I was sleeved 11-8-12 and was 215 and I'm now 168 but I really thought I would have lost a lot more by now!!! I'm worried that my weight lose is over so was wondering if anyone else has lost this slow but still reached their goal? I seem to stall alot which is frustrating. I haven't been able to workout much because I have a bad back and I tend to not eat much during the day because I get busy with my two toddlers and eat late at night, now I eat lean cuisine at night which isn't.that bad but my hubby says that my eating late is keeping me from loosing weight...any advice would be appreciated.. Am I losing really slow because it seems like everyone else does so much better???

just wondering how long until everyone started eating red meat? is it just really hard to digest or something , i'm trying to figure out why they say to wait months before eating it...i want to be safe and was just wondering what everyone else

what is this and why do we get it???

thanks for all your replies, ive lost 5 more pounds since i started this post so thats 25 lbs in 5 weeks which is pretty good but im going to start over and actually not eat any carbs even the goods ones like instructed because apparently it makes a difference in the weight lose...im so thankful for the surgery and my lose thus far and i know i can do this thing!!!!!!

Thx ladies for your input!! I'm sure it will come off eventually

I had my surgery on 11-8 and i've lost 20 lbs..i'm on stall #2 and wondering if i'm doing something wrong or is the weight lose and stalls normal..i'm not overeating in any way but i've added some healthy carbs light whole wheat bread and brown rice a few times..there have been a few time that i've eaten about 1 hour before bed but it was always a small amount and healthy so i'm wondering if these couple of things are keeping me from loosing weight or if i'm just in a normal stall and doing good. i started off at 214 so i'm wondering if thats why i feel like i'm not loosing like others on here (and everywhere else). i'm scared that i'm going to stay this size forever and wasted my money...what do yall think???any input will be appreciated

thanks everyone..i really hope the scales starts moving in the direction i want..i need to check the sodium on the cream soups and i haven't tried any home made anything since surgery except broth.

Hey everyone I just wanted to tell everyone what is going on and hopefully i can get some advise....i had my surgery on the 8th and i've lost only 11 lbs but ive been stalled at 11 lbs for like 4-5 days..what is going on??so I looked at what i'm doing and the only thing i can think of that may have caused the problem is cream of potato soup that i've had several times..they said cream soups were fine and i haven't liked the chicken or mushroom or the broths very much so tried the potato and when i looked today after not losing anymore it says that it has 15 g carbs and i'm just not sure if that is bad or not and if that caused me to not lose or if im doing good but in a stall..i've heard of 2nd week stalls but 1st week stalls???other that that im drinking my protein, sugar free jell-o, pudding , light yogurt and thats pretty much all i eat every day...i'm so ready for the next stage...also i just started walking today so other than taking care of my babies and constantly being up walking around the house i havent had much exercise...I just wanted to break this down and see if anyone has any thoughts . I'm really hoping to start losing more..also my starting weight was 214 so my weight lose may be slower that some peoples....uggghhh i just don't know...

i take ambien every night..u can take it before and after surgery

for me the first day was bad but ive felt so much better ever day since...i was sleeved on 11/8

yes i will def be getting with my pcp about my bp meds and so on...

I can't believe it but im finally sleeved. i was sleeved on 11-8 and the surgery went smooth. i felt bad the first day but was soooo much better the next day. i've already lost 8 lbs which is crazy to me and i have chronic high blood pressure and it was way down just now when i checked it so im thinking that I may actually get off my bp meds soon. I'm still trying to recover from the surgery but have no regrets and I'm looking forward to the future

when asked about caffeine i can't help but think COKE..because that is what i love , well until surgery of course so thats why i said that about stretching the stomach because when i asked about coke the P.A at my surgeons said that . not sure about everything else tho

it can stretch your sleeve i heard
