the scale has stopped for me but 5 people last week that they can see it in my face. yay! you look great.

best of luck! youll do great!

I didnt know I had adhesions until my surgery. When I woke up he told me he had to remove them and that all went well. no worries dear. I'm sure it will all be fine.

you are for sure not overreacting. You are going through what most if not all of us went through. I know I completely lost my damn mind when I got my date and probably weekly thereafter. We all feel the same things you do about being worried about going back to old habits. Its normal to feel this way my dear. Just remember that you have been wanting this for a very long time and you are ready to do this. I am only 3 and a half weeks post op and it has been a rollercoaster ride for sure. Lots of emotions and lots of hardships with my addiction to food. I am down 16 lbs and I know they are gone forever and thats what motivates me. It will motivate you too. be calm and understand this is the best thing you can do for YOU and enjoy the journey.

Am 3 1/2 weeks post op and have only lost 16 lbs so far. None in the last week. Getting worried.

Ou want to LOSE weight and you are LOSING weight. You loose your keys. Also, you give advice not advise. You advise someone!! Arrrrrrgh!!!!!

The same thing happens to me. Your body is adjusting to not eating solid foods. This will all pass and time just be patient.

This place has been a life saver for me.. when I was pre op, I thought I would lose my mind with worry. No matter how many threads I started with me freaking out, everyone was so encouraging and helpful. Now that I am 3 weeks post op, I find everyone to be helpful in a different way. I am on here more than facebook! everyone on here has been in your shoes and everyone on here is rooting for you including me! Feel free to message any of the wonderful people on here for any guidance or advice you feel you need. They will always be willing, myself included! I love it here!

my scale is stuck too

youre welcome. I know how it feels to read the forums where people just seem to breeze right through the surgery like its kittens and rainbows but for some of us, it is really hard.

I am struggling too my darling. I am an emotional rollercoaster, worried about everything.. what I'm eating.. what I'm drinking.. what if I do this, what if I dont do that.. blah blah. I'm only down 15lbs in 3 weeks and I wanted faster results. I just bought some premeir protein shakes from sams club. they are 30g of protein in one small tasty shake. 2 of those and I have just about met my protein goals. I am hoping this speeds things up for me. I still have some pain but its going away slowly. I get frustrated, I get overwhelmed, I get regrettful.. Its part of the journey and I have to believe that it will get better and it actually is day by day. If you ever need someone to talk to.. message me and I will be there for you at the drop of a hat. I understand what you are going through and I am going through the same thing. hugs!

I've only lost 15. dont feel bad.

anyone else have stinky poos since being sleeved? I know tmi tmi but still... sorry in advance.

3 weeks here tomorrow. 15 lbs lost. Starting weight 262. Eating cottage cheese , eggs, soup, protein drinks, some chicken...

Not drinking just eating out with my softball team. I still go to the games even though I can't play.

Was thinking nachos without the chips. Any other suggestions?

Oh I'm 3 weeks post op

This is exactly what I am going through at almost 3 weeks post op. It fell like a knife in my ribs and it radiates into my back. Glad I'm not the only one. Heal fast guys!!!

Lose your keys lol,,,, you loosen a screw. There I feel better. Sorry for the autocorrect in the first post.

Really can't remember that ever happening........

I was told to wait at least 6 months. that seems really really soon.

how far out are you? be careful!!!

edit to say i was a cigarette smoker not a marijuana smoker but still....

Just saying!!!!

I dont believe my clinic did drug testing but my advice would be to stop all smoking of anything at least a month before your surgery. I was a smoker and stopped before surgery. it can hinder your healing and make you more prone to a leak.
