Just curious how many people on here are in the Kansas City area? =)

February 6th was my two month postop. I'm eating terribly although I can't eat much I still eat what I want... I dont know how to fix this....is anyone else having or have had this problem? Ive stopped losing and dont want to fail. I am prolly being hard pn myself but I still know I could do better. I also know u lose the most during your first three months and im coming up on three months March 6th HELLLP

Day of surgery I was at 246 12/6 I'm at 208 ...the pain SUCKS lol there is no sugar coating that bad boy but it goes quick and is worth it for sure. I didn't start feeling 100% myself until about 4 wks after and I went back to work 2 wks after it truly helps to start being up and moving walking not alot of bending or abdominal stress but up moving

Im interested too!!!

12/6 down 36 =))) congrats everyone gooooood luck =)

Thanks guys... Ill have to keep the chess game in mind lol =)

I hate getting to those pauses in the weight loss...Im down 42 pounds...2 months is February 6th

Menstrual Cycle. I'm aware things are thing to be way messed up and getting back together due to my weight loss but I'm starting to think I've got a problem. I was on my period going into surgery...no big deal they got me through it but I've been on my period SINCE my surgery December 6th. Ive got light days and ive got heavy days. I don't have insurance so I'm going to get some insight here first. I will call my sleeve doctor but I know they will refer me to a obgyn. Yuck idk but I gotta figure this out and fast!!

If I don't drink protein shakes I will not lose weight? Im on my fourth week and at a stall. I know this is typical but I can't get any protein shakes down! Haven't been able to since post op. I eat protein tuna, turkey, cheese and in very very small portions but im afraid im not gonna lose weight because of this... Anyone else further down the road had this situation?? Im so nervous I am ruining my chances here =/

Ya I actually did three weeks of protein shakes prior to surgery and they were great its post op they've bothered me. Ive bought so many different ones, mixed them different ways, tried them cold and room temp they just give me a terrible stomach ache. I found a lighter premade one that I can somewhat tolerate just today but still feet quite a stomach ache ... My doctor said it will take time to tolerate things. I can have pretty much any food on my list without any kind of problems but the shakes are though. Same with milk as far as liquids go water is the only thing that doesn't bother me...

So the actual liquid doesn't increase the weight loss? I just don't want to be the one person that doesnt lose because I can't do the protein shakes

I feel the same way!!! Ill be the person that doesn't lose anything!! Ive lost 32 since my surgery but for atleast a week now im staying at 223-225 i don't know why im not doing anything wrong, exercising and couldn't over eat if I wanted too. I can't eat hardly anything for portions!!

3 week.stall for me too ... Ill be amazed if I get through this and start losing again =/!!!

Im on week four post op today and the protein post is killing me. I'm at a stall not losing anything and I'm sure it is because I'm not getting enough liquid protein in although I don't eat anything hardly and only drink water. Before surgery I had no problem with the shakes but there is not one I have found I can force down now... I've been at a stall for atleast a week now if not longer I'm getting a little discouraged but know this is part of the process

Yes!!!!!! Its crazy I used to run around with flip flops and shorts around the house in winter and I cant seem to bundle up enough now!!! Im constantly freezing wearing socks boots heater at work!!! Crazy to have these similarities u can relate with on here, too funny!!!

Im on week three going into week four. What's everyones daily intake. I found early on that protein shakes were making me sick so I don't drink to many ive pretty much been eating cheese or deli turkey and recently find turkey balls with a all natural,marinana or tuna salad about ask i eat and very small quantities of them but I have only lost 3 lbs this wk so I feel I'm either over eating or I'm not eating the right things to continue my loss any insight would be great!!! Thank you guys!!!!!

Thats so helpful thank you thank you!!!

19 days Post-op and hit 32 lbs down today!!! Im so excited about the future!! Merry Christmas Everyone, hope you had a great one!!!!
