  1. My first major goal was to weigh less than 200 lbs. I have lost 59lbs in almost three months but am stuck in the 200's! I haven't lost any weight for two weeks!

    Hiccups!

    Hiccups is caused from eating too much or too much too quickly. You can also get a runny nose or sneeze. It is because it pushes on a nerve.
  3. I am 2 1/2 months out. I have started losing small amounts. I have taken 10,000 mg of Biotin since a month before my surgery. Losing my hair was my biggest fear with this surgery. I am hoping that it doesn't get worse.

    OCTOBER SLEEVERS- How Ya Doin'?

    I was sleeved October 2. Starting weight 260. Current weight 214. I've noticed that the more I exercise the less I lose. It's frustrating!
  5. I am currently 7 weeks out and down 43 lbs. I have started to really push my workouts the last week. I have started a 5k training program. Every since I have started exercising, I haven't lost any more weight. It's frustrating. At what point did you start to slow down with weight loss??
  6. I am 6 weeks today. I have been stalled for about a week now. I did start running using the app couch to 5k. Today was my second day. I made it through it!!! 6 weeks: 40lbs down. I have long way to go!

    Drinking While Eating

    Well for starters, I haven't had any issues with eating food, but water is hard. I have a hard time hitting my goal of 64oz a day. He told me that after his research, he has taken the restriction out of his book. He said that the water pushes the food into the intestines and that is the secret. I have noticed a huge difference. I actually feel full longer. It has taken away the hunger that I was feeling in between. Not drinking didn't really bother me but I am all for it. Since drinking with my meals, I have met my fluid target. Just thought I'd share.
  9. I went back to my follow up appointment with my surgeon last week. He said that after a lot of research he encouraged me to drink with my meals!!

    THANKSGIVING DAY GOAL

    I am 4 1/2 weeks out. Current weight 224. Surgery weight 260. I hope to be to 210 by Thanksgiving and to onederland by Christmas!
  13. I am in the same boat as you. I am almost 4 weeks out. I am not able to eat enough of anything to get my protein in. I make all the above mentioned choices but if you can only eat a few bites, it does no good. I was doing the protein drinks at first, but now, they make me so sick. I am at 30-40 grams of protein a day with food. I'm afraid of losing my hair.

    Heartburn?

    It's more than likely acid. Are you on any acid reducers or heartburn meds?
