I had my conversion surgery from band to sleeve on june first, i had it done in the Dominican republic because my company excluded bariatric from my policy. i was so scare and even felt regrets the day after surgery. Six week later those regrets are way off my mind, I have never felt better. I've lost 30lbs and I'm static My Self-esteem over the top, as supposed to six weeks earlier I wouldn't look my self in the mirror and today I'm jumping for joy. I've had my my ups and down, when my weight loss stalled I thought I failed, coming to this site has been a blessing. Can't wait so reach my goal weight, only 47lbs to go and I made a promise to myself to not drive my self crazy and enjoy the journey. Any other June first sleever. Share your story

Can some one tell me where I can find a copy of the sleeve bible . I read on someone's post where they mentioned it

Yeah, not sure either, I read something on a threat here and thought it might be something good to have as reference. But thank you

How do I know if I'm eating too much. I read how people can only eat few bites of food, I've. Noticed I'm able to eat one whole piece of chicken breast and avocado. Is that normal or am I overdoing it. I am pretty full though.

I'm six weeks out. I keep forgetting to slow down when I'm eating.

Omg! I thought I was the only one. I find my self eating or putting things in my mouth and in not even hungry. old habits are really hard to break what I started doing is keeping a bottle of water near and every time I feel like eating something I take a sip sip sip and try not to think about eating.

I'm six weeks post op and yes I've lost 29 lbs, but I have stalled since June 21, I'm drinking my protein eating right drinking water and haven't touched carbs since before my surgery I working out and just don't understand why I'm not loosing weight. I'm just frustrated

Yay!!! That's good to know. Thanks

How much wine were you able to tolerate. I just don't want to get drunk with a sip. Lol

I was gonna say" I want your dr's number" lol

I love fruits, I'm one month two weeks post op and I eat fruits mostly berries and cantaloupe I've also tried pineapple with no problem

I take a powder vitamin, I got it at GNC I got it chocolate flavor and mix it with my proteins shake in the am, and it total to like 46 grams of protein

It could be your potassium that may low. Try coconut water

I need to take something for cramps, but not sure what is best for my stomach.

Omg! Thank you !!!

Wow! Good luck, soon all those illnesses will be a thing of the past

Wow!! You're doing wonderful. I'm one month one and 10 days I'm down 30lbd ive been stalled since June 21st don't know what it is but I decided I wasn't going to let it bring me down

You got sleeved weighing 182? Wow you weren't big at all. You have little to loose. Good luck

I bought multivitamin at GNC powder form I think it's called mega women it has 10 grams of protein and I mix it with my protein shake in the am. It's easier for me to take. I hate taking pills

I'm June 1st, down 30lbs, doing great although Im stalled since June 21st. I'm able to eat practically anything. Staying away from carbs though. My big thing is remember to slow down and small bites

Ok this one is for the ladies! Has your cycle change or gone wild . I got sleeved on June first. And don't know if it had something to do with it but my cycle is crazy. Had it twice in one month and very heavy. I have low low Iron since I had the Lapband 2008 and been getting iron infusion on and off, my hemoglobin gets very low (6) . I'm at a normal level now and I'm afraid my crazy cycle is going to set me back. Has anyone gone through this?

I just read a post about the size of the bougie. WHAT IS A BOUGIE? And what is it purpose. My doctor never mentioned anything about it. Feeling lost

Sorry ! It's not much difference . Hate auto correct.

I just texted my doctor and asked him. He said its the size of the sleeve, I have a 34 and he said the range from 32 to 60 but most common is 32-38and that there was not inch difference.

Ok so I just joined this site on Saturday and I'm obsessed, I look at it like every five minutes and read all the post and advised . This is a great site. On Saturday when I post my first threat about being stall I got so many good feed back I don't feel like failure. So I just want to say thank you. I'm still not loosing weight but I'm not worry any more cause I know it's normal.
