Hello Everyone ,

I was sleeved on August 21, 2012 . My start weight was 243 and I'm now done to 188. I am so disappointed with myself as I have not lost weight in 2 months. I'm so frustrated and don't know if this is normal to go this long with out losing. Any one out there in the same situation ??

Hi!! We are almost identical!! I started at 253, had surgery August 21, AND am now at 196. I was losing very slowly and i was ok w that, and then 2 months ago I stalled. Came to a grinding halt. About a week and a half ago it started to move again.

I refuse to be disappointed in myself. I am eating right and exercising. There's not much else that I CAN do.

My advice to you is don't give up. If you are following the program then eventually it has to work. It just has to!! Good luck.

Well I hope this weight starts coming off. I have to admit there's days were I don't get to drink as much Water and I have not started excising. So I will work on that and see what happens. I set a goal of 80 pounds when I got sleeved , I hope I would at least get to achieve it. I would like to hear back from the August sleevers what is your typical diet ? Perhaps I'm eating the wrong things or not enough of the right things ????

Hey, when I decided to do weight loss surgery I weighed 442 pounds, my first visit with Dr. Korn I weighed 435. My insurance required a six month supervised diet, at the end of that and the day of the surgery I weighed 370 Pounds. Today I weighed 235 pounds for a loss of 200 pounds since I started with Dr. Korn 135 pound since surgery and an overall loss of 207 pounds! I feel great! My goal was 220 pounds but the doctor thinks 202. I am starting to think he is right! :)

      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.
