Hey...I'm in the space coast area...had surgery 8 mos ago at Viera hospital by Dr. Tieu. He's amazing!!! Just wanted to say hi to any fellow Florida sleevers!

That was my Dr!! Love him!

I gained 30lbs... Most of it after 20 weeks

I'm in central Florida by cocoa Beach

I am 7 months out, down 91lbs since last Jan...but lately the scale has only moved up!! Not eating anything different...since 6mos dr visit have actually increased protein, doing more resistance and weights, and taking my vitamins...i have gained 4lbs...this freaks me out!!! I am self pay and feel like If I'm not losing I may have wasted a lot of money!! I'm scared that this is it and I have a lot more to lose!!! Really tempted to go back to my crash diet thinking to shake things up...help!!!

I am 7 mos out and have not lost any weight in 2 mos I am beyond frustrated...I have no clue what's going on but I plan to meet with my nutritionist soon. Good luck!

Thank you so much for that! I definitely could do more measuring my food and i was considering going back to liquid diet for awhile to give my sleeve a break from solids...can't hurt...thanks again!

Thanks for the encouragement...I am still 268 lbs so have a lot more to go...Lately I have really missed the restriction I had earlier on...I find myself getting more food in and that worries me...I know it is still a lot less than the average person but I liked only getting 2-3oz at a time...maybe I'm just a freak lol

I am now on mushy too...after 5 weeks of liquids its like heaven!! You can try cottage cheese, fat free refried beans with cheese, chili from wendys, there was a recipe for ricotta bake that i found on here that is really good...google ricotta bake vertical sleeve and the thread with recipe should pop up...oh, and get the dannon fit and light Greek yogurt with 12 gr protein...cherry is my fave flavor...enjoy your mushies!!

I just bought a Colby jack combo shredded...not sure which cheese has most protein...i only use a pinch

Ok i am 3 weeks post OP and am so frustrated...i lost about 16 lbs the first 2 weeks and for the last few days i was stalled ABCs this morning i was even up a couple lbs!!! I am still on liquids for a week and then puree for 2 weeks...a couple contributing factors could be lack of protein or lack of water...very hard for me to get those in...anything else that could be causing this? Any one have suggestions to jump start my weight loss again? I am kind of freaking out...why am i torturing myself for no weight loss??!

Ok, sill no weight change and it's been 10 days...ugh

I am on pureed and i love the wendys chili! I also add shredded cheese and plain Greek yogurt to it for added protein!

Thank you for the wonderful encouragement! I will try to stay positive and continue to work the program...i have been on liquids for a month now...so hoping things will start happening once i move onto the next stage diet...

Ok, so had my sleeve done on June 25, and Dr told me that i had one of the largest stomach organ he head seen. I asked him if it was from over eating and stretched out and he said some people are born with bigger stomachs and no wonder i was overweight...I had even more hunger hormones than usual. Anyone else have this situation??

Tomorrow will be the first day of my new life. My new life as a healthy person. My new life as a self confident person. I began this journey in January and have lost 30 lbs. I am so ready to get started on this amazing experience called life! Plastic chairs...bring it on, airplane seats...bring it on, roller coasters...bring it on!!! Lol Good luck to my June 25th surgery compadres!

Ok so had the surgery on Tuesday and woke up to pretty bad pain and soreness...still in hospital, going home today..have been up and walking! I have also never been so happy to burp and fart lol

As far as I know coffee is ok...I put it in my protein shakes..last day of liquid pre-op for me and lost 12 lbs in 14 days!!! It will get easier!!! Good luck!

I am a newbie..surgery tomorow..but I would love to friend you on fitness pal..I need friends too lol!

I know that I am taking a multivitamin and my urine is dark from that...so if you are getting you water, that could be a possibility. I am pre-op, so I can't tell you if it gets better from my experience, but I know that from what I have seen here...there is a definite adjustment period where your emotions go all over the place..just keep your eye on the prize!!!!

Best of luck! I go tomorrow...so I know how you are feeling...just keep your eye on the prize and know that this will soon pass and the only thing that will remain is your health and new sexy body!!

JUNE 25th!!! Been on this journey since JANUARY!!!!! :wub: Congrats to all my June sleevers!!!!! After June we will officially be on the loser's bench!!!

Haha too funny I am pre-op surgery is June 25th and I felt such a rush of excitement when I paid off my Lane Bryant credit card off and said I will never go there again!!!!! I have enough sizes to get me through my weight loss up until a size 16...can't wait to just walk into any store and buy cute clothes!!!!
