Hey! i was scared of the same thing. For 3 months i used vit E oil and it significantly helped with the scarring. One of my incisions is completely gone. I just ran out of it (i would apply it on twice a day and rub it in well) so i decided to try scarguard and literally in just 2 days of using it i can see a difference. My biggest incision was super dark, hard, and puffy and scarguard already flattened out the cut and lightened it a bit. I dont know if everyone else got this result but im really glad i bought it, granted it cost me 30 bucks (as opposed to the vit e which was only 5) im really hoping it helps in the long run!

Do you have any suggestions for any excercises. I go on the treadmill for about 2 miles at 3.5 mph and when im not on the treadmill i do weights. And i also thought 135 was too low and i was surprised when he said that! i just want to get under 200 and strive for 160 or 170, but ill see what my body is comfortable with. should i also start drinking Protein shakes again? i was so excited to stop drinking them and to eat my protein but if thatll somehow shock my body then i'll do it. thanks for everyones reply though! it feels so good to hear from experienced sleevers!

ive been trolling the forum to maybe find some advise or encouraging words so i decided to post something myself. Hey everyone! Im 12/13 weeks out (i was sleeved may 27th) and so far ive lost 58 pounds but it feels like ive lost nothing. I started out 283 and now im 225 but ive been this way for a while. I know about stalls (during and after the monthly visit) and i know how my body reacts to the amount of calories or carbs i consume, so i dont know what's wrong anymore. I exercise a few times a week and now im just scared that this is it. That after the surgery and all the hard work this is the most i could lose! did anyone else feel this way this soon out?! My surgeon told me that the with the sleeve i could go down to 200 but he wants me to be around 135-140 (im 5'7) so im really confused on how im going to accomplish this. I know the sleeve is a tool, and my life has significantly changed from it, but i feel like i see no results. My friends arent saying anything about the weightloss. I only get some encouraging words from my family and it just seems like there was no difference made. i just wanted to know if anyone else went through this and then managed to lose the weight the wanted. ps. this is off the topic but i just wanted to know what happens to the stretch marks on the body as weight is being lost. Ive had them my whole life and i want to know what to expect when i (hopefully) lose all this weight.
