I would love to see a Bakersfield Chapter, so many of us have questions and experience with this surgery, it would be nice to meet

I have not lost for over s month, it is normal for the 4 th month for everyone? My weight loss has not been great. I did start a walking program and use my fitness pal to make sure I follow a high protien low carb plan, I also make a point to get all my water in............ it is just hard since I had such fast results.......any hits to get though this?

What is the 8 hour Plan?

I hate my phone autumn correct

Don t worry I have been told. Your body is adjusting. I am in the same boat for about one month. To change my bodies norm I gave switched up my exercise program and then to be sure I Don t over do. I use a app to keep track of my food. I have done this for about a week. I am hoping to get off this stall. The weight right afterm surgerythromycin came off fast. I got spoiled everythema I got on the scale it was instant gradifiction . Now. I really have to watch and count what I eat and count water to make sue I am d king it right. I am tempted to go back to shakes for am and pm until I see results I am not feeling successful this last month. Hang in there with me. Maybe our bodies need to adjust

Hang in there. Our bodies work differently. Perhaps we were overweight longer!! The surgery is really not a quiclue fix. Still I know for me it will be a life long struggle

I just turned 57. I had surgery Feb 19. Since Jan 2014 I have lost over 50 pounds. My blood pressure is normal. I do not snore and gird is gone. Also arthritis pain is gone thanks to surgery. While I hope to lose more weight I am so happy. I seem to lose slower than others I feel healthier than I have from several decades I just recently started walking and exercising. I would recommend surgery if you have your doctor's blessings. Good luck and keep us posted.

How do I get over a 3 week stall? How long will I lose my hair? I have cut it short but it is getting very thin? Help?? I was sleeved 2/19/2014

Thanks for these tips!!!

My surgery was February 19 2014 and I have been at a 3 week stall, before that always losing. How do you break a stall?

Everyone seems to be hapy with the surgery. I have however, hit a snag. Perhaps a stall- I have been stuck for the last three weeks no scale change?? my hair loss is awful.............. anyone have these issues or solutions, hints?

How you all are doing well and continue to follow the course, have energy and losing!!!

I have just recently went down in pant size with a budge on the scale. I guess everyone is different- at first right after surgery I think my stomach was sollen from the procedure in the hospital. Now I lose weight every couple weeks, and in between I go down in pant size.

Does anyone how many months you lose hair?

Everyone seems to be doing great and happy for the results............ getting down a few pant sizes really feels good doesn't it. Keep up the good work!!

My pants are falling off, yet I do not show a budge on the scale- How does this happen? February 19, 2014- had surgery- not perfect eater, but try and get in all my Protein and Water My body keeps shifting every so many months. I usually gain weight or hold weight in my stomach, when I lose, it is not always in the stomach, so then I feel really fat again because my stomach protrudes. The I will lose in the stomach and feel more proportionate. The it starts all over again, Now I have lost weight, my pants fall off, but I still have a bigger stomach. Does this happen to anyone else? In the beginning I lost all boobs, but they are fine now. The only other problem is I have hair loss. I have stalls, but then a week or so later I drop several pounds, so I don't call them stalls anymore.

I eat bread, a little, but sometimes I just can t refuse. I think I may have slower weight loss because of it. I like a variety in food. Meat and salad is getting boring to me, a egg and toast is what I like once in a while, also a tuna snadwich.. I keep my protien up and also water on those days.

Time is on your side, a few weeks and you will feel so much better. Congrauulations on your choice for surgery. I have gotten better in, snoring, and my joints do not ache like they use to, my bllod pressure is down as well. All ailments before my surgery are greatly reduced to nothing. I feel so much better. You will to! Keep up the fight your physician will have awnsers for you.

You seem to be doing very well. I would not worry or stress, one day I am up 2 pounds and by the end of the week I am down 3 or 4 pounds. Just keep getting in your protien and water, congradulations on your weight losss.

Truely, this journey is ups and downs, I have never had any issues with food or the surgery, it was just to easy. Nothing to warn me of not eating, so I an eat everything. I first try and get water and protien in, but I like to cook and entertain, so I make things I have to or end up nibing on. I continue to lose at a slow rate. I have no complaints. One week I will be up two ponds then two weeks later down 5 so making head way and living life with a few restrictions. I enjoy this site as I can share my experience and hear about everyone elses, it helps when I am on bad days. Thank you all and may the force be with you!!

My weight loss has really slowed down

All you veterns, I never thought I would be stalled in my weight loss, since I started this process I have lost weight every two weeks at least 2 ponds, now I have not lost any weight for several weeks. I started to walk 2 miles a day to add to burning of calaries, but . I just started this, yet no weight loss. any Ideas? Just frustrated for sure. I want to keep mu momenteum going. I appreciate all your ideas and support. what works to get over this?

Is anyone else losing hair? How long does it last?

I just recently moved to Bakersfield, looking for a Bariatic Pal group here, or some support group, or making a group, anyone have any information for me? Wishing you all great luck in your weight loss effort
