I was sleeved about 18 months ago, the bulk weight flew off and I have been hovering around the same weight all of this year . I'm pretty happy. Wear I am even though I'm still plus sized I look very skinny to anyone that has known me went from 338 to 181 living comfortably in my 12/14 pants and large/xl shirts. I have noticed that recently I can eat a lot more then I could before so I may go back to having a shake for breakfast again and try to get off the last 6 lbs that would get me to my goal !

Haven't posted in forever ! Still in Attleboro,ma here, have been sleeved for for 18months now and it was best thing I ever did! Went from 338 to 181

2/21/14 down 133 so far .. Only 4.3lbs away from onederland !!!

Where is this in boston?

How is everyone doing?? Lost 120lbs and been stuck here for 3 weeks now. Anemic and super tired wish I felt better so I could exercise and get this scale moving

Have had great success with my weight loss and hit my 6mo mark at 112lbs lost.. Then I decided I would try drinking alcohol again. I tried to make "good" choices on Labor Day weekend and got drinks without a lot of sugar and so called skinny drinks.. I was able to drink more then I thought I would.. Had a great time, only to see a 5lb gain in the scale today. I wanted to cry. That fun weekend was not worth it!!!! I barely ate all week trying to make up for drinking and that clearly don't work . I still feel bloated and am really disappointed in my actions. I really wish I hadn't done it and I need to learn from this and stop acting like I'm 21 !!!

Try replacing a meal or two with a protein shake it helped me loose weight fast preop!

112 down

Welcome and good luck ! Are u excited or nervous??

Butterfly that's ironic .. Shredded chicken made in broth in the crockpot was first thing I could eat too !! My Nut then recommended that I needed to eat all my foods super moist in order to not throw up .. About 12-14 weeks out it finally stopped and now only happens if I eat dry chicken breast or more then 1 egg in a sitting !

This happened to me for weeks .. Meats mostly caused the problem so I lived on string cheese and yogurt for a while.. Boca burger patties were okay too.. Get an app for your phone called eat slower and set it for two min bite intervals it helped me a lot to realize I was eating to fast .. The second u hiccup or burp or feel your nose running .. Stop !!!! Those are my "I'm about to eat too much" warnings

6 mos anniversary today!! Down to 229 from 337 (318 surgery weight) feeling good except for bad anemia . I'm asking for an iron transfusion at my next visit because the iron pills make me throw up and my iron hasn't gone up at all. My ferritin is 6, my total iron is 19 and my hemoglobin is 9.6 .. No clue what those numbers mean except that they are low lol

Oh and I still can only eat around 900 a day but usually around 800 on average I've had a few higher days but usually smaller ones

It's not normal with sleeve it only happened to me twice! Can't be positive that's what it was either.

Miller mine usually starts like 20-30 min after eat and the longests it lasted was an hour and a half .. I threw up and then felt better .. But I only get the racing heart feeling and sweaty and I pace around the house it hurts so bad I've never had the poops ... In fact I would kill to have a case of the poops again lol

Sarah you and I have pretty much been consistent on the same weight loss the whole time !! 104 for me as well

Mine are so heavy I can't make the drive to work!! The pain is so bad that I get a fever and vomit for several days and can't leave the bed. Vicodin doesn't even touch the pain and I have gone to the hospital and they said it's "just a period" .. Bastards! My pcp said I was too old for bC (38) and wouldn't give me a prescription for it. Might be time to call an obgyn and get some Tests run . Had surgery in feb

Does anyone else get upset when your "normal" eating family members eat your food that you have set aside for you. Then you have nothing to eat!! Idk why but this really pissed me off the other day. Maybe I had pms or something but I was practically in tears to come home and find out my kids ate my whole box of premier protein bars ..... In one day.. When they have an entire cabinet full of their snacks including granola bars and what not. Sadly I felt bad the next day when my 10 year old was sick and throwing up , because he had apparently eaten 3 premier protein bars and drank 2 of the 30g rtd premier shakes.. Maybe they will stay out of my food now lol. I need to chill a little too ugh

I had a hard shredded chicken taco from Taco Bell tonight for dinner . I've had the Wendy's chill on many occasions. I've also done the southwest grilled chicken salad at mcdonalds .. Which in no way could I finish.. On a road trip I had the turkey sausage egg white wake up wrap from Dunkin

Yes they are well aware now.. And my son at them when I was sleeping apparently. I do have my own drawer In the fridge. I had just bought the bars because we were leaving for vacation and I needed something for the car ride, so I had left them on the counter. He thought they were granola bars apparently. He was sick enough the next day that I doubt he will do it again! But I agree with some of the other posters about people taking food off your plate too! My husband will be like .. Oh I know you won't be able to finish that so I will help u! I eat so little it's become a joke at the table with them betting on how much I will actually finish of my portion while they all wait for the left overs. My husband and my oldest son are skinny tall boys and my youngest is short and a little chubby so I'm hoping to get him to like the healthy food just not eat all of it in one sitting

http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/dumping-syndrome/basics/symptoms/con-20028034 It feels like your having a massive panic attack and u want to die.. Happens if you eat too much sugary foods ..

I'm almost 6 months post sleeve. I have had a glass of wine and it pretty much made me very buzzed, it took me a long time to drink that 1 glass too as sweet things taste very strong to me since surgery. As for carbonation.. I tried a sip of soda and I felt like I was going pop and it hurt bad.. Again my experience , I have a sleeve friend who drinks diet soda and has no issue. But for me it's a def no . If I I wanted get a drink in public I would get it with cranberry juice.

I loved my Aussie saddle but it doesn't fit my pony !! So comfy! I can't wait to get a new saddle that's a smaller size. Glad you had a fun yet interesting ride. Your horse looks just like my horses girlfriend Junie this is her with my son

I get dizzy and almost faint everytime I bend over , run upstairs , get up to fast. I'm always dehydrated plus anemic. I can never manage more then 50oz of fluid a day no matter how hard I try

Thank you everyone !! Doc never gave me a goal but I would be thrilled to just hit onederland and be 199 so only 38lbs to go !! I seem to stall for 2 weeks then drop a good chunk then stall again . At least it's moving !!
