I'm having the opposite problem...I'm hungry ALL THE TIME and eating way more food than they said I was going to be able to. I can't starve myself! It's insane.

I have the same problem. I can also eat a lot more than they said I would be able to. I dont feel full or even satisfied. I feel like something must be wrong with me!

I wish someone had told me that I would not feel full or satisfied the same way I did before surgery. Now instead of feeling it in my stomach I feel like there's food in my esophagus. It's a difficult thing to adjust to but I guess I will just have to learn to adapt.

I think everyone is different. You'll be able to tell if they work when you get your labs drawn.

You look fantastic!! Way to go!

I was very bad before my surgery I didn't follow the diet at all because they pushed my surgery up and I had a vacation planned. I was fine, surgery went fine, and now the post surgery weight loss is fine. You'll be okay. My surgeon told me that it's the day before surgery that matters the most.

As an ISFP, your primary mode of living is focused internally, where you deal with things according to how you feel about them, or how they fit into your value system. Your secondary mode is external, where you take things in via your five senses. ISFPs live in the world of possibilities. They are keenly in tune with the way things look, taste, sound, feel and smell. They have a strong aesthetic appreciation for art, and are likely to be artists in some form, because they are unusually gifted at creating and composing things which will strongly affect the senses. They have a strong set of values, which they strive to consistently meet in their lives. They need to feel as if they're living their lives in accordance with what they feel is right, and will rebel against anything which conflicts with that goal. They're likely to choose jobs and careers which allow them the freedom of working towards the realization of their value-oriented personal goals. ISFPs tend to be quiet and reserved, and difficult to get to know well. They hold back their ideas and opinions except for those who they are closest to. They are likely to be kind, gentle and sensitive in their dealings with others. They are interested in contributing to people's sense of well-being and happiness, and will put a great deal of effort and energy into tasks which they believe in. ISFPs have a strong affinity for aesthetics and beauty. They're likely to be animal lovers, and to have a true appreciation for the beauties of nature. They're original and independent, and need to have personal space. They value people who take the time to understand the ISFP, and who support the ISFP in pursuing their goals in their own, unique way. People who don't know them well may see their unique way of life as a sign of carefree light-heartedness, but the ISFP actually takes life very seriously, constantly gathering specific information and shifting it through their value systems, in search for clarification and underlying meaning. ISFP STRENGTHS Charming – People with the ISFP personality type are relaxed and warm, and their “live and let live” attitude naturally makes them likable and popular. Sensitive to Others – ISFPs easily relate to other's emotions, helping them to establish harmony and good will, and minimize conflict. Imaginative – Being so aware of other's emotions, ISFP personalities use creativity and insight to craft bold ideas that speak to people's hearts. While it's hard to explain this quality on a resume, this vivid imagination and exploratory spirit help ISFPs in unexpected ways. Passionate – Beneath the ISFP's quiet shyness beats an intensely feeling heart. When people with this personality type are caught up in something exciting and interesting, they can leave everything else in the dust. Curious – Ideas are well and good, but ISFPs need to see and explore for themselves whether their ideas ring true. Work revolving around the sciences may seem a poor match for their traits, but a boldly artistic and humanistic vision is often exactly what research needs to move forward – if ISFPs are given the freedom they need to do so. Artistic – ISFPs are able to show their creativity in tangible ways and with stunning beauty. Whether writing a song, painting an emotion, or presenting a statistic in a graph, ISFPs have a way of visualizing things that resonates with their audience. ISFP WEAKNESSES Fiercely Independent – Freedom of expression is often the ISFP's top priority. Anything that interferes with that, like traditions and hard rules, creates a sense of oppression for ISFP personalities. This can make more rigidly structured academics and work a challenge. Unpredictable – ISFPs dislike long-term commitments and plans. The tendency to actively avoid planning for the future can cause strain in ISFP's romantic relationships and financial hardship later in life. Easily Stressed – ISFPs live in the present, full of emotion. When situations get out of control, people with this personality type (especially turbulent ones) can shut down, losing their characteristic charm and creativity in favor of gnashing teeth. Overly Competitive – ISFPs can escalate small things into intense competitions, turning down long-term success in their search for glory in the moment, and are unhappy when they lose. Fluctuating Self-Esteem – Early in life the ISFP's efforts are often dismissed and ridden off which can be damaging and hurtful in the long-term. Without strong support, ISFP's are prone to listening to naysayers.

Quiet, friendly, sensitive, and kind. Enjoy the present moment, what's going on around them. Like to have their own space and to work within their own time frame. Loyal and committed to their values and to people who are important to them. Dislike disagreements and conflicts, do not force their opinions or values on others.

I haven't told anyone-only my husband knows. I just tell people I'm trying to lose weight or that I'm not feeling well.

I'm only on week 2 and I'm slowing down considerably. My goal is about 2 pounds a week and I'm hitting it. If I slow down I will increase exercise and evaluate what I'm eating closely.

Got my sleeve in Jackson, MS by Dr. Vick. Excited to get this party started!

But if it's under 100.4 then just watch it. Your body is still repairing itself and it can be perfectly normal. I am also about 10 days post op and I'm 99.6.

If it's over 100.4 then I'd give your surgeon a call and check in. If you are experiencing any intense pain then definitely call.

I started sleeping on my stomach a few days ago and I'm almost 2 weeks post op. Go for it when it feels comfortable.

Congrats! Such an inspiration to a newbie like me!

I am about 2 weeks post op. I am already introducing some soft foods, like eggs, beans, even a couple bites of pancake. I barely eat anything but I am not feeling full at all. I have been tolerating the foods just fine and am going by the guidelines in my book (except a couple bites of mashed up pancake-and please don't lecture I know my own body and its limits). I'm just concerned that I'm not feeling full. I can also chug protein shakes and water without getting full. Does anyone else have the same problem?
