  1. Hey guys just came to vent a little! So I have been stalled for about 2 weeks now, and to make matters worse I gained 2 pounds this week:44_frowning2:. I am only 7 weeks out so this is really frustrating. I still should be in the "honeymoon" phase, right? I have started working out about 2 weeks ago so I can help the weight loss process along and stay active. I guess I just thought the first couple weeks after surgery the pounds would just fall off but I am so wrong! Anyway, I am happy with the weight that has come off so far (26 pounds with the exception of the 2 pound gain) and loving the fact my clothes fit way better than they did 7 weeks ago!!! I won't let the stall and gain get me down too much though, I just needed a place to vent to people that understand my struggles:). Happy Friday everyone!

      Hey jenndog. My pounds aren't falling off either. I've only lost 30 pounds since surgery Nov 22/16. I get quite discouraged too when I look at what others have lost. I've come to the conclusion that it's more than the numbers on the scale. It's about being healthy and you are 26 pounds healthier than when you started. Comparing yourself to others can only set you up for disappointment. I know it has for me and I am trying to realise that I am not everyone else. Happy with how far I have come and what I've accomplished even if it's not the miracle melt that I was expecting. Hang in there and be good to yourself. ?

      hi There! I am also 7 weeks out and stalled for 1+ weeks. It's frustrating. I was advised to stop weighing myself daily, but I can't do it yet.

      Good Luck!

    Vitamins

    I take Centrum chewable Multivitamins, and gummy form of B12 and Vitamin D. I hate the chalky vitamin taste as well, but the Centrum isn't THAT bad lol. I heard about the Patches, but haven't tried them. If you purchase, let us know how it works out! @falconfan11
  4. I'm so glad somebody asked lol! And I'm glad people are honest and saying stay off the scale! I was sleeved 1/11/17 and I've lost 11 pounds so far. I feel a little discourages as I thought I'd lose more. And unfortuantely since I been home from the hospital I've been weighing myself everyday But I do need to give the scale a rest! I can't wait until my doc said it's okay to exercise...maybe the pounds will start to drop then!

    Cheat day?

    Hey I am newly sleeved myself (Jan 11th) and I feel your pain about the weight coming off "slow". I've lost 11 pounds since surgery and have been holding steady for about 1.5 weeks. As far as the "cheat" day I would say careful. If you were 3 months post op I would say no-harm, no-foul, but 3 weeks..... I know it gets hard because we want more, but try to be steadfast and hold on. It will get better
  6. I'm newly sleeved (Jan 11th) so I haven't gotten to the extreme weight loss yet. But I will say this, remember why you got the surgery in the first place, maybe take out old pics of yourself to remind you where you came from. Also the sleeve reset might also a good way to get on track. This sleeve life is not a destination but a journey, and I'm sure we will all fall short some time or another. But we owe ourselves this...haven't you, me and others struggled enough? Don't beat yourself up...just get back on it!!

    Hi all! Today marks exactly one week since I had surgery! The ups and downs: ups are I have lost 9 pounds since surgery????(some reason I thought it would be more- being ungrateful I guess), I have been cleared to eat yogurt, applesauce and jello for taste????. The downs are: it takes all day to drink my protein shakes and water and sometimes I still can't, I literally have to take breaks in between each bite and sip or a horrible gas bubble lodges in my chest????, I get lightheaded and weak sometimes(doctor said my blood pressure could have dropped too low or I might be dehydrated). That's just a few things. Another cool thing is he said I might be off my bp meds real soon!!!! My bp was in "normal" range at my week followup!!! I haven't had a normal numbers in 9 years!!!!!! This is gonna be a life altering journey????

    Welp group I'm finally home! Had surgery 1/11 but i had to spend an extra day on the hospital. White blood count was too plus I couldn't drink anything or keep anything down. Fortunately i took a turn for the better this morning and i was released. So far pain is manageable. Please every remember to walk walk walk after surgery to help with gas. It really helps!!!
