I was back on solids in two weeks... My surgeon let you start earlier than most. I'm sure you will be fine and good luck to u!!!

I've been stalled for probably 7 weeks but I've started moving again ... ThankGod! I've come the conclusion that im a slow loser and that's what my body does...I stall then I lose. Just step up the exercise and drink plenty of water and protein first and u will be fine!

I see alot of u talking about very low calories during the losing stage.my Nut did not giver a number to go by.all she said was 60grs of protein a day and lee sugar under 4grs.I am 4 1/2months out and lost 36pounds.Have been stalled for way too long! 4 weeks!!! I'm pretty sure still losing inches but what is wrong with the scales???HELP!! Im probably getting 1200 calories a day and 30min of card a day...what do I need to change???

Hang in there it will get better! Keep check on your bl pressure, as u lose your bl pressure will drop. Inhad no energy after surgery cause my bl pressure was staying too low! Once you can eat for solid foods you will feel better too . Rest during lunch to get thru your day!

Hello ! I wa sleeved sept.17 2011 and my asthma seems to better. I went off my asthma medicine about two months after surgery. I had the flu in January and my asthma did not flare up . Usually it would have been flared up for weeks until I would take steroid dose pack! Hope this helps a little !

Wow! You r defiantly an inspiration you look awesome!!!

Compliment for sure!

Glad your stall broke! Yay!!!

Wow u look great and Sooou skinny! Way to go girlie!!!

You look so healthy and happy ! You are a true inspiration to us All!!!

Congrats and hope u heal quickly!

Wow that is wonderful congrats and you look great!!!!

I get that all the time at work . Patients will say I would like the bigger girl that has the short hair to work on me.ughh

Ok will give it a try.

my BMI says 31.8

I was scared that 1200 cal was high too after seeing that u guys were alot lower. I want you to be crtital cause I wanna lose more weight I use lose it com to track . Yes it is hard to track a bite here and there. I ha e been doing 30 min on ellipticL 5 dYs a week and bout 10 extra on my treadmill.I go pretty hard on ellip but the resistance part is broken Sweatig when I'm finished. And it says I burn bout 370 cal

That is wonderful!

Well to be honest don't know if they told my BMI .. and don't go back to dr and nut until feb 17.I wandered if is slowing down cause it is getting lower.

Ohhh and started at 222lbs before pre diet and 212 day of surgery ..and now stalled at 185. My 1st goal is 145 and then maybe 125... I hope!

Well, I eat usually eggs for breakfast and then a protein shake... Sometimes a protein bar around 11:00 and then for lunch it is usually 1/2 of a lean cuisine then another protein drink or bar then for dinner I have few ounces of meat and some veggies...if I eat the carbs I fix I usually measure 1/8. of a cup... Just so I don't feel left oaut!! Then for snack it is either saltines with cheese or peanut butter. I get most of my fluids in by unsweetened decaf tea or p-shakes. What do you guys think????

i want to wish you luck on your surgery on monday. I'm sure you will do great! i spent just one night in the hospital. I lost about 20 lbs the 1st month, But remember we all are different and differents sizes so it differs. It has been one of the best decisions of my life and i'm sure it will be for you too. Something that helped me the first week is an icepack on my stomach.... LOVED IT... try to get as much protein in as possible and you will heal faster. Try to start walking as soon as possible ...just making laps around the hospital or around your house.Keep us informed on how yu do. praying for you!

WOW! everyone is right. you are an inspiration to us all!! I am on the dreaded stall right now. Trying not to worry but it is hard!!!!

hey Devo..sounds like you are doing great...so happy for you! your story does make me feel better. I was sleeved on sept 17 ..started at 222 and now im 185..have been stalled on the scales for a while.. and it is soooo depressing..i gave up my scales 2 weeks ago. i weight today finally and still only down 1 pound. AM i doing something wrong or is it slow cause that is normal????? what is the sleeve test?????
