I still feel like this 10 months out. The scale will go up a couple pounds or I will stall for my normal 3 weeks and every single month, without fail, I think. Okay that's it now I'll start gaining back. Just a few days later it starts dropping again and voila somehow I'm down 100 lbs. Amazing how it works!

I pray that one day I will be on here announcing my 100 lb weight loss! Congratulations on your success! Hopefully once we move toward maintenance, we'll acquire confidence as well. :)

I absolutely thought that. I have had such a hard time losing in the past and I thought I would be the ONE it did not work for. I still sometimes think of myself as a slow loser compared to others, and have weathered two stalls in my three months- but somehow I am here three months out and 61 pounds down. The sleeve works as long as you do the work, I promise. For me, that means counting everything, logging everything, keeping to under 40 net carbs, drinking the Water, getting the Protein, exercising, blah blah blah...the usual! ;-P

I have posted this article many times (thanks to Swizzly who posted it first) and it really helps explain the chemistry of stalls and that you are really still losing weight.... hope it helps!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
