Are you still in these sizes ? I have a few things

I was revised from band also. The habits learned to eat around a band that isn't working for you, can still work against us here...IF WE LET THEM! First step is whAt we are doing, recognizing & identifying problems. Now we have to find ways to stop them. Keep sharing what is or isn't working for you, I'll do the same. Like NUT says eat slow, that's all I do, but I'll sit with a slice of pizza for 2 hours to eat it all. Instead of stopping after 20 mins. WE CAN DO THIS

I'm losing slow, sleeved 9/13, lost 18lbs the first week. Now only lost 5 lbs in the following 4 weeks. Super discouraging. Good luck!

They are expensive, but shop around. I still have to buy regular food for my family of 6 & add supplements too that, sometimes feels like a ton. But the money I save not eating out all of the time has to be greater than what I'm spending. I buy protein shakes at Costco now & look for coupons & sales on vitamins. Good luck!

Forever? I read somewhere here that it was cleared after 8 weeks or so? I'm not 6 weeks yet, still on soft foods

Feels good to know I'm not alone feeling like things are going too slowly. I'm back to work Monday so that will kick up my exercise. I'm hoping the routine may help things along also. Good luck everyone & thank you for sharing

Thank you for your honesty, I am struggling with the same problems. I'm scheduled to see Bari psych later this week & nut the week after. Keep in touch, maybe we can share ideas/insight as we go along.

I'm 5 weeks out also, lost 23lbs so far, but 18 of those were in the first 2 weeks. Since then I've had a stall & just lost really slow. I only weigh myself weekly, but it is frustrating. Feel that I'm doing most everything right. Need to increase exercise I guess to help things along...? Any other suggestions?

I'm a nurse, I'm on week 5 and will return to work without restrictions after full 6 weeks

19 days post op today. Down 19.5 lbs since surgery. Saw surgeon today, he said everything looked great, continue on puréed foods & follow with nutritionist. See him again in December! Unless problems arise. Only bummer of the day was he wants me to stay off work for full 6 weeks, since I was revised from lap band and do excessive lifting, bending, reaching etc for my job. I was hoping for return after 4 weeks, my bank account is shrinking faster than I am :/

I take pills for sleep and anxiety. Not diet supplements. I'm 16 days out, just take them a few minutes apart. They started giving me these in the hospital immediately post op

Moved to puréed foods today!! Any food suggestions?
