Hey guys... Im from New York. And I have my vsg with Dr. Ren of Nyu Dec 13, 2013..since that time I have really only lost about 50lbs. And slowly but surely you can see the weight creeping back on. I am always hungry... And even sometime when I'm not hungry I still want to eat. At this point I have been to the surgeon and she told me I am the only person whom she has ever operated on that hasn't lost much. Which hurt my feelings... ALOT! So since then I haven't gone. I know most of you will say u need to still go to your appointments but I can't face more embarrassment. My brother had a sleeve June 28,2014 and is more than 100 lbs out. I don't know what to do.. Where to turn... And I feel as if I'm loosing to food once more!! I would love to hear any advice that you guys may have for me. Thank you! Have a great day!!

Nooo there is restriction I can just eat more....thats normal...I follow a lot of vsgrs on youtube nd their portion size is bigger to...I just feel like the activity level should increase as well with all tht food tht helps u loose....check out this girl on youtube her name is Beautyfortheobese.....she is def an inspiration to me...she is from london has an accent

I dnt think soo..she said around my periid time I will crave alot...etc... I just think my swelling went dwn

Lemme say this tho...that after the soft food stage you will be able to tolerate alot more...I feel like I have close to noo restriction....so get readyy for that...I can eat alottt

Hey guys...im abigail i will be getting sleeved at nyu langone medical center by Dr.Ren Feilding. Im nervous but more exciting than anything. I have been big all my life n im ready to make a change because my weight has held me back for most of it.... so let me tell u a little about me im 18 like i said 250lbs and 5'0 tall... im kind of scared about to weight loss process years ago my mom had the.gastric bypass and had so much excess skin that after she had to lift her boobs and get a tummy tuck her legs,back and arms need doing to but there isnt enough funds. But im saying all of of this to say what was your experience with skin was your journey hard?? Im looking forward to hearing from u sleevers!!

Im gonna try tracking my calories again...and put more effort into it..

I actually tried it...but still no luck I know alot of people use it but I just cant get into the habbit of after every meal I gata sit and track its annoying...so thats y its so hard...but I think thats the trick I should try it again..

Thanks...imma look for my paper because todat I move to the next stage!!!

Yea I totally understand...alot is making me nauseous now to...I cant advise you anything bcus we both struggling...only thing I can say is keep your mind at the finish line thats what helps me sometime

Lol 4oz of mashed patatoes....you know something that used to be me....like around week 3 I wanted everything..but a typical day for me is wake up do a mile on the tredmill in which I burn like 150cal... then I try doing a lil sit up etc all while having my sweat suite on....after like a hr I eat...I have like egg white.then probably eat again mid day... then again at night...it varies what I eat tho after Breakfast...you know something u guys are right I was just eating bear junk food..one time I ate cake...black cake....then another I had popeyes.....then another time I had Jamaican food that made my stomach hurt so bad I almost thru it up...but this was like a week or two ago when I was seeing aunt flow....I realize around that time I crave everything I want to eat everything and ny tummy lets me which is crazy..I know a girl she got the surgery done with ne same day same hospital same surgeon...she eats shrimp cake popeyes on a reg and anything u can think of and still looses so I thought the same might happen to me...but I see now imma have to work for that pound!!!more than other people.. so now that I told u how I currently eat I would love to hear how I can change my diet..and ill def go see my nut and surgeon...feb 14

I will try my best tracking was never ny friend but I need to get it together cuz the fact that im not loosing...im not doing something right..just now have to put my finger on it and cut it out completely...thank you for your advice tho

Seruously??gumy worms made her gain it all back?... thats crazyy I refuse to get back to 252 my surgeon tells me that it is possible..in really trying by working out everyday but this really is hard.. tracking was really never my thing so its really hard to track what im eating cuz I hate putting in everything that I eat...recently I got this bad back pain its so excruciating I dont think imma work out until it feels better...thank you ao mucg for that word...and just like u said that you said u think about the girl nd the gummy worms and that she is your motivation for eating right...ill let that be mine to...I have to have some sort if discipline....also do u have and ingredient for tilapia?

Well at just a little over a month out as well and I definitely feel your pain...I have no tolerance for milk or anything of the sort.... one day I had some milk and that night I was in so much pain I thought I was gonna die. It woke me up several times that I went to my surgeon the nxt day because I thought I might have had a leak...I was scared to eat anything but it was a false alarm...also I am not loosing anything...I cut out carbs and all the tgings I slowly added to my diet after lik 3 weeks post op and im stuck at 220.....well atleast thats what my scale says.. at the doc in 228...so something isnt right if im 228 that will mean I only lost 9lbs since surgery day...and thats a major problem...im so stressed sometimes...its so hard to deal...I probably really should have thoughg long and hard about this ill never be the same again... it bothers me sometime... im hoping for my 19th bday I hit the 100 mark..I started at 252 so if I could b 152 ill b so feggin happy!!

Girl im 6 weeks and is hungry all the time...im beginning to think its sappose to b that way I heard we are allowed to snack throughout the day but small portions....so I cant promise you that it will get better just try to eat good choices bcuz ull end up like me I havent lost much and im geting depressed im working my ass off but cant seem to leave 220!!
