☁️9⃣B????

Hi guys, so I m Muslim and I got my gastric sleeve done on 12 math March, I m 3 months post op and 30 pounds down. In a few days the holy month of Ramadan will begin, where we (Muslims) start fasting for like 14-16hours a day..... I have always taken my fasting very seriously so I make it a point to never miss any days.... I m excited and enthusiast about this... I hope the weight doesn't stall at any point, hoping this fasting works as a benefit and helps me lose more weight.... Since I will be on starvation mode not sure how that will work. Something I can report to you guys in a months time ???? I do workout like 2 miles walking 5days a week, haven't started with weights or any other gym training otherwise... You guys think I should up my activity level? Or should add gym training to my ritual? Anybody else facing the same conundrum?!?!?! Help in such scenario from anyone is really welcomed and looking forward to some answers...

Omg!!!! You guys absolutely amazing and crazy inspiring... Now I m stressed, I feel like I haven't used my sleeve to my advantage.... I m exactly one year out of surgery Sw: 240 Cw: 180 Gw: 145 I still have 35 pounds more to go And off late it seems like the weight just won't budge, absolutely not.... Any tips or advices would be really appreciated and what diet to follow... Because in this one year I have been on carbs and healthy carbs as well as junk Please help me out here, I feel like I have another 6 months to head towards my target weight. Because after 1.5 years the weight loss is very very slow.

Has anyone tried using unflavored isopure protein powder with crystal light flavor? I Ofcourse haven't tried it... But in my head it sounds easy and Ofcourse tasty???? Lemme know if you guys have or something even better than this.

I m 24 weeks post op and I have lost 50 pounds and now my weight is stuck big time, I have been on a stall for 3 weeks now and no matter whatever I seem to do its just not helping and when I scales not tipping I get upset and end up eating more carbs. On eating more carbs I still manage to still within my calorie limit and I burn up to 800cals a day and make sure my Water intake is sufficient. Now what is the problem? There was a phase where around 2 years back I was working out and on a low carb diet and I came to this weight and then reversed back. Does that mean my body can only go minimal to this and never below this weight? Like I have always been 199 pounds since 15years of age and never lower than this.... That's 15 years of having this weight on me!!!!! Ok I m messed up! Please help! But it's truly upsetting the weight not budging since 3 weeks now???? Any guidance and kind words would be truly helpful at this time. Thank you????

Atontor Omg!!!!! You look amazing you seem to have got your perfect body within 12 weeks.... I m soooo jealous ☺️.... Extremely happy for you though I am on my 22nd week and I have lost around 50 pounds.... I have another 50 pounds to go, I hope I can reach that soon too.... But wow you look extremely amazing... What's your daily schedule like if you could please share ????

Oh god! Was 40C to start with .... Now I m 38C and heading for a 36 and saggy boobs..... Can I lose my butt instead of my boobs? Anything? Guys help!!!

I don't crave bad foods.... I eat my protein all the time.... But I get hungry very very often.... I eat like 4-5 oz of food every 2-3 hours.... I can't stay hungry for long.... And the way you guys are talking (that you don't feel hungry at all) it's an alienated topic for me.... I m going to be 5months post and I have lost 47 pounds..... Is something wrong with me?

I know this app is amazingly popular with Americans ???????? A lot of Indians are actually getting bariatric surgery done nowadays too... A shout or a call for any India or from India or even considering it. Let's talk or catch up ????

Oh! I feel bad when family doesn't support you on your such big and life changing decision. And no no please get the negativity out do your head, nothing will go wrong... Things will go the way they are suppose to.... I got my surgery done on 12th March 2015, the only thing I regret is I wish I had got it done any sooner... I would be wayyyy smaller than what I am now. I have lost 46 pounds and I m hoping I could lose another 50 pounds and I would twirl ☺️☺️☺️???????????????????????????????? But again! It's a tool and not a treatment... So use it wisely.... I still make daily choices and decisions, what to eat and what to skip.... Exercise has to be a part of the schedule.... Then the prognosis are excellent! I wish you both all the best with your family and I hope they support you if you do plan to go ahead with the surgery!

Kay1117 Omg!!!!!! Wow how much have you lost?!?!?!? You look sooooooo good???????????????????????? I got sleeved on 12th March 2015 and I have lost around 46 pounds only. My god Kay you look extremely good. God bless you. Stay happy and healthy. And please do share your diet and exercise secret with us to ????

I remember walking into the OT at 8am and when I woke up it was around 10:40am. And then I just kept sleeping and being in a weird pain because lying down on my back made my incision stretch that hurt me. So I kept sleeping sitting up, resting my head on the bed table. And burping a lot and my family rubbing my back so the gas escapes out of me.... 6pm or 7pm is when I was awake awake.... And watched a bit of TV... May have walked a little too

Hi.... So yes I know everyone has a target to lose a certain amount of weight by a certain period of time. Like 100 pounds in a year, extremely doable in a sleeve. But then again, if in 1 year you end up losing 90-80 pounds even that is acceptable. I have my birthday in 20 days and I need to lose 10 pounds. Now somebody please help me and enlighten me on how can I reach that goal. I have been losing 10 pounds per month quite consistently. It's my 4th month post op and I have lost 46 pounds, feeling great! Couldn't be better... But this birthday target is kinda pushing me and I really wanna feel extremely awesome on my birthday.... Please help me and guide me.

Post the 3rd month hair is everywhere ???? ..... Hoping it slows down soon enough... I m taking 10,000 mcg biotion hope that helps in some way or another. Just hoping it comes back... If it gets real worse, I m considering shaving my head????????

Very well said.... Can't control the pounds... Can only control protein and water! This should be my life motto ????

March 12th How much has everyone lost by now? I have lost 46 pounds so far!

I love this comparison!!!! I have lost an elephant's heart and a pineapple. ????❤️ ➕???? = ????

Hello sleevers, Lemme give you brief on me... 29 year old, surgery date 12th March 2015 and surgery weight 248 pounds. It's been 18week post op now and I have lost 41 pounds. It's seems right on with the plan abut slow comparing to other sleevers, so I will hence not compare at all ???? This is my concern/problem... I keep losing weight in phases, like 3 weeks back in 1 week I managed to lose around 7 pounds and the next 3 weeks nothing happened. Maybe again in 1 week I will lose some weight and then 20 days stall.... My body is doing this! Now is this normal or abnormal? Am I doing something wrong? I workout 5-6 days a week either treadmill or cross trainer, I drink atleast 32oz and I eat my protein 1st. I have always had a history of PCOS and crazy irregular periods, I had to induce periods... Post surgery I have had 2 episodes of periods, it's coming towards the normal category. My blood works are normal and all good. Then whats wrong? Why am I not losing on weekly basis unlike everybody???? Please help/guide. Thank you.

Hi keemi13 So since we are thru the 3rd day of fastin and this is out 4th fast.... In the last 3 days I have lost around 3 kgs... It's been so consistent that every day I m losing 1 kg... Lol it seems like a dream come true at this point... I couldn't be more happier... But I m still wondering what seems to be working for me?!?!?!?!? Puzzled and very happy.... Considering 30 fasts even if I lose 15kgs I would be super happpyyyyyy ???????????? Oh your sister had sleeve done? And she's having fertility issues?! That seems scary... Can you please update me on this as well.... I m planning to conceive in 2-3yrs time, so any information on this topic will be very helpful ☺️ How's your Ramadan coming along?

Lianntx I m with you on this sister... Weight loss is happening slow and steady.... Again no complains... Just making it a point to stay focused and positive... At this point that's the only key ☺️

Oh wow you have lost a lot.... I m 3 months post op and I have lost like 32 pounds... But my starting weight was 245 pounds, now I m at 215 pounds.... This 3rd month has been quite low and boring weight loss wise...???? But I m gonna give myself a decent 1 whole year to lose 100 pounds☺️

Keem 1st fast is done!!! Yayyy to us... Alhumdulillah it went by very smooth and easy and I did manage to do my daily walk as well... So not at all shabby☺️ Why did you get a lap band? Such a rare thing to hear.... Off late not many ppl are getting lap bands... Guessing you don't have much weight to lose. Anyways wishing you all the very best for your success in Ramadan and future weightloss.

Hey Jamielogical Yes I know what you mean.... Dehydration is my definite main concern... Today is my 1st day of fasting it just started, it's been a few mins... So far so good... Maybe I should do hourly updates???? When I open my fast, I will make it a point to continue sipping water and have the 64oz Thank you so much for all your support ☺️????

Thanks camella..... It was nice to hear from you, it's nice how everybody is a friend and well wisher on this app... Absolutely love it! As per your advice, yeah you are extremely right... Dehydration could be a major concern... Seems like I need to get into the zone and probably experience it for myself and then see how it goes... Inner surface girl, Yeah I'll do some of my research on those line too... Thanks for your concern and advice ????

Weight loss update... I complete 3 months on 12th June and so far I have lost 30 pounds... I see people far more achievers than me.... But then i m eating my Protein 1st, I try to get in my Water but I only get 32 oz on a decent day... I workout on the treadmill for 60mins 5 days a week.... But my weight loss is slow and inconsistent... I wish I drop pounds by the weeks but unfortunately that's not my case???? Any key advice?
