Well I have reached the plateau and can not seem toget my weight to move down. HELP what can I do.... I have been walking and tried to not eat as much not that I could eat much anyway. ı am getting frusterated. anyone help please ı wıll greatly apprieciate your ınput... thanks

I have not taken diabetic meds since my surgery and guess what my blood sugars are normal have not checked my cholesterol yet but my guess will be good. I have lost 64 pounds so far. my surgery ws on april19 2012 My knees only hurt occaisionally. I have been removed from my wound vac so pretty soon i will be able to start excercise. I feel like i have lost most of my muscle in legs and arms but hopefully will regain soon.

Just make sure this is what you want for ever. You may not be able to eat some of the things you love. you may get reflux which nexium fixes for me. You may feel panicky normal with many people but will pass. weight loss is great but does depend on what you put in your mouth. no sugar means no sugar but splenda is great. good luck to you Brooke. I am very happy with my sleeve lost 45 pounds so far my next weigh in is on wenesday. i am 6 weeks post op

I cant eat iceberg lettuce at all. i can eat romaine and green leafy. I can no longer eat garlic or raw onions.I am very lucky to eat two small slices of a grilled chicken breast. soft foods are still easiest for me. I am now 5 weeks post op

buy a sippy bottle and sip all liquids from it. Frozen diet yogurts were very easy for my stomach to process and mashed potatoes and lentil soup all easy on stomach, or try baby foods

Well lady one bite will be alot some people cant eat bread at all. I only can eat very small amount of it. sweets are a no no it will keep the weight on

Me too except i had bad panic attacks, same feeling i couldnt breath needed to get outside of the hospital. i did get xxanax for when they happen but have not needed them.

Hello, does anyone else have the problem of inability to distinguish being hungry from full, I feel the same way and have discovered I have to measure my food in order to know if i have had enough or need more. How do you take care of this?

I had my first negative tolerance to iceberg lettuce and onions, it was horrible. I also am having a hard time enjoying food like i used to so worried about my eating habits and the feelings i get in my stomach. Unsure what they are really. Am I full am I starving????I can hold about 100 ml of soup or liquid and about 2 oz of solid if I drag it out to an hour eating. I would love to sink my teeth into a hot melty saucy piece of pizza nothing else does a thing for me, I am 4 weeks post op and my stomach still perfers baby food yougurt and soft stuff.

Thank you Lissa. I just expirienced a food intolerance I think, vomiting and horrible indigestion for iceberg lettuce and onions. Has that happened to you at all.

I like my vsg, my main problem is inability to distinguish between being hungry and full. I have to measure out my food quantity so that i get enough to eat. Some thing I loved i can no longer tolerate like garlic, no skins on tomatoes and veggies. so far my diabetes has been in check i will get a hgba1c again and see where i am at now.

I have diabetes and high cholesterol, i heard the sleeve will assist these diseases to go away. I have knee pain and have a hard time walking. I used to run every where. I just hope this will help me. I have a hard time due to the fact that i also had double hernia surgical repair at the same time as my sleeve.
