Hi all,

I have always been a pretty slow loser. And ive hit a crazy stall this past month. im hoping my 1.5 lb loss is gone forever, but we will see. Ive been feeling a bit discouraged so i put 2 photos together that showed me before, and a current photo 4.5 months out. I still have a llooonngg way to go, my face doesn't seem to wanna give, but im hoping ill lose in my face soon. But wanted to share with you all, my VSG family....hope all is well

Awww thank u!! Its been a slower process for me, and sometimes I have to see the comparison side by side. Thanks for the kind words :). Most of my weight loss was post surgery. I lost about 7lbs pre -op. Thanks again for the encouragement! :) hope u both are well!

You will break this stall (me too, I will break mine :-) ) I think you are doing awesome!!!! Congratulations!!!

PS: beautiful family too!!!!

Awww thank guys. you seriously are making me tear up. Because its been so frustrating thru this stall and i sometimes i just don't see it. I am very thankful.I can actually play with my son and walk around Disneyland forever without getting short of breath. For that i am sooo very thankful. Thank you for the sweet words, really they mean so much to me.

Lele: how are you feeling? Hoping you are doing well and that recovery is quick and easy for you. COngrats on your surgery.

Mnbsleeve: thank you so much friend. you really made my heart smile :) BTW my hair is falling out like crazy!!! IVe always had a lot of hair, so thank goodness for that. But i feel like a dog shedding everywhere i go. I do take Biotin. ive noticed that i still lose a lot of hair when i brush, but its not as much. It was coming out in clumps . It looked like big ol'spiders in my shower. :) But thank you. I hope my hair stays :)

love you guys!

Haha, I don't think you're a slow loser -- but that's because you're losing at the same rate I have been, and I think I'm doing awesome. :biggrin: Seriously, you look great and there's a MAJOR difference between your two photos, including in your face (I also have a round face and took a while to lose the extra chins LOL). FWIW, I stalled for two months from month six to eight and then started losing again. It can't fail if you keep to your good practices, the sleeve totally works. You're doing great!! :smile1:

PS: My hair still looks like thin wispy crap LOL, I hope it starts to improve one of these days.

      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.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
