Only thing I suggest is increase protein to at least 80 g and increase water intake. I was at a stall and when I did these 2 things I notice my weight started dropping again. I go to gym as well 5 times a week. It will work out[emoji3]! Sent from my D6708 using BariatricPal mobile app

I could not see the weight come off as much when I lost 23 lbs but other people did. I am 4 months post op and lost 65 lbs so far. I really see it. I exercise at gym at least 4 times a week. I do water aerobics as well. I had knee replacement in one knee 2 yrs before surgery and needed knee surgery in other knee for meniscus and arthritis. My knees feel so great now that the weight is coming off. I don't need surgery. I walk like a new person. I had the sleeve Done March 10 2017. So things will get better.

I eat pure protein bars all the time in between my meals. I cut in half and eat through out the day. It is filling and cuts down hunger. Sent from my D6708 using BariatricPal mobile app

I was told to wait a year. Sent from my D6708 using BariatricPal mobile app

I think it depends on you. The surgery is a tool not a fix. That's why a psychological consult is advised to find out why you eat the way you do. If you follow what you are suppose to do and eat then you won't have trouble. Also your mindset. I decided to not let food control me; I am controlling it[emoji3]!

Yes I felt the same way. Did not thank I could do without Chocolate or pasta but now I don't miss it. I have substitutes which are healthy. Mashed Cauliflower instead of mash potatoes, chocolate protein drinks, protein bars, etc..... You will love the new you and the new way of eating. I make pizza with chicken crust or Cauliflower crust. I am so happy I had this surgery.[emoji23]! Sent from my D6708 using BariatricPal mobile app

I stalled a couple of weeks but now the scale is moving. Don't let it discourage you. I just look at it as my body adjusting to changes. Sent from my D6708 using BariatricPal mobile app

I was terrified the day before surgery and was going to cancel until I joined this support group. Someone said "are you going to give up being healthy and eating right for a piece of pizza I can't have? I am 3 months post op. This is the best thing I have done. No more meds, lost 53 lbs, knee feels better, blood pressure good,sugar level good,. So everything will be fine. Time will move fast. Take GAS X for gas pain and walk,walk,walk.
