Put the scale away!!! it will drive you to insanity I went through the same thing and I was upset and a little down because I wasnt losing as fast as I wanted to BUT eventually the scale moved It just takes time, I remind my self that this is not a diet like the ones in the past, theres only one way the scale is moving and thats down baby! I would recomend that you measure your body neck,upper arms,lower arms , chest, waist, hips , booty , theighs, calf and go by that too (once a month). sometimes the scale may not move but inches are coming off keep up the good work and good luck.

Woooohooooo congradulation you did it Awesome

Don't take them as others have posted your not suppose to take anything before your surgery, But if you are desperate it wouldnt hurt to call the surgeon and ask Hang in there you can do this

I stalled at 250 also it will pass be patient your body is adjusting. I was not getting enough calories in when I increased them or hit my daily mark of 800 It broke and I lost weight again. Also water is very important , make sure you get all that in. Oh and I was constipated! If your not going get a laxative to help. Keep up the great work

LMAO omg that made my day:)

I can't wait to not think about how I look anymore I can't wait to not have to pull my pants up over my muffin top when I stand up I can't wait to wear heels comfortably

Don't give up you have an amaizing tool to beat this! Throw out everything your not suppose to have, thats what I do in my house. If its not there I dont even think about it. If you crave sweets try pudding thats sugar free. If you want salty pringles has 0 fat chips that are 16 crisps for 120 calories BUT dont eat these everyday. As everyone else said protein first Eggs,turkey,chicken,fish,tuna...Drink your water or you will think your hungry but its just thirst. And if you are always hungry it may be acid, take an antiacid. You can do this! Go to you tube and search before and after vsg surgery that always helps me keep my eyes on the prize. Stay strong you git this

Wow I forgoot about this now Im 246

I also take out 4 bottles of water each is 16.9oz for grand total of 67 oz and tell myself they have to be done by the end of the day! Dehydration is very scary, I was hospitalized for it on day 5 after surgery. Keeping the bottle in your hand is the best for me other wise I will forget it .

Lol love the collage idea

Hello AMber, I had my surgery in Mexico with Dr.Guillermo Alvarez. I found him through researching docs in mexico. He has a facebook account were I saw over 100 patients before and after pics and he has allot of videos on youtube. Endobariatrics.com is his website. I paid 8700 + air fair 475. I live in Michigan. They sent me all the information via email and I spoke with Susan the corrdinator on the phone.I sent them a down payment of 1000 throuhg the bank and the rest I took with me as a cashiers check. I spent the 2 nights in the hospital and one in the hotel then flew home. I'm currently 6 weeks out and doing great . I have lost a total of 41 lb already and 25 and a half inches all over. Good luck on finding the right Doc for you

I want to exercise but am scared. Dont laugh at me, Im afraid I'll pass out. I eat 800 calories a day and feel weak all the time(6 weeks out). I also dont want allot of loose skin after I lose all the weight. If you do exercise how many calories do you eat a day? what types of exercise do you do? for how long? should I increase my calories so I can exercise?Any tips about this will be apreaciated Love this website

Thank you

hope everything goes well good luck

Congrats

I use a chewable gummi one a day multi vitamin daily , 1 calcium plus vitamin d chewy chocolate flavored. They both taste good, 28 g iron that I open up and put into appla sauce. I read that your not suppose to take them all at once together ,but to separate them by a few hours(I do that). Hope this helps

Thank you sooooo much everyone I really appreaciate all the help I believe it is the iron and having very low carbs. Its great to have this website with awesome people that are going through the same thing I am

Im looking for some helpful advice, I'm having a hard time with fatigue, I'm not excersicing yet because im exausted. my daily intake is 800 calories. I'm very weak, I'm dizzy and overall have no energy, is there any foods I should look into, or should I increase my calorie intake, in order to have more energy to exercise. I'm 6 weeks out , and try to get all my fluids in that seems to be difficult because I have to separate my food from liquid. any help will be appreciated.

Ok I take a multivitamin everyday and calcium with vit D , Proetin is usually between 45-70

Ok im 40 days/ 6 weeks post op and have lost 38lbs! I have lost a total of 25.5 inches overall my body I cant beliee it, I have not started to exercise but am moving around more. Im 5'7 and SW 288, today I'm 250! the sleeve is awesome

Whats a EGD?

Maybe your taking big bites and not chewing enough? Im not quite sure, when I eat too fast and dont chew enough I feel sick. maybe call your Doc see what he says Hope it goes away and you feel better

Same thing happening to me, I have decided to weigh only once a week and stick to a max of 800 cals a day Hang in there we need to be strong and PAtient (that the hardest for me)
