Has Anyone Ever Not Lost Weight?

So this is why I am so cold all of a sudden......I used to keep my AC really low and sleep in shorts and tank tops and still need a fan blowing on me ..NOW I turn up the AC to usually 73 , wear pajama pants and still feel like I'm freezing

Oh I so hope this happens to me. I am SO TIRED of being overheated and can't enjoy the summer. Please, please please. I love the summer but I can no longer enjoy it.

Yes that's why!! I used to sweat all the time living in south Florida and now I can actually sit in the car with no air and the windows up sometimes. That's my favorite part about this surgery believe it or not lol. I love being cold, soooooo much better than being hot!!

AWSOME !!!! I use to love the sun, etc. With my previous car I couldn't stand the sunroof because of the heat and I'm in Maryland. I always assumed it was only the layer of blubber keeping me warm. lol this surgery will be well worth it just for the heat factor alone.

I went to my local seminar before I decided to head south. That is what the doctor said (leading doctor in our area). While I'm not entirely sure I understood it correctly my impression was that the total lack of hunger due to Ghrelin would wear off as it started to return. If I understood it correctly not all of it returns. Would love to find out this is not true I wish they had a taste-bud altering surgery. If none of it tasted good i probably would never eat again

Just picking up your last comment...in my experience my tastebuds have changed. I used to crave sugary things and they always tasted better. Since my surgery I crave and my taste buds enjoy salty things instead. My body also can only tolerate tiny amounts of sugary things, enough to get a taste and thats it, anymore (even if it is less than my sleeves capacity) and I am over it. My body in general craves things that are good for it, lean Proteins and veggies and weirdly eggs.

Just my experience...

I had no appetite at all for 6 weeks. I thought the ghrelin removal worked great. Now 3 months out, I have about 50 percent of my appetite back. Some days, it seems like higher. It's so much better than the constant hunger before. But this is not head hunger, this is feel it in your belly growling hunger at times.

Do you have fatty liver syndrome?, metabolic syndrome or syndrome x? PCOS? There are real and true cases where weight loss will be painfully slow...like me. I am losing, but 6 pounds per month is my MAX. The one sure fire cure to not losing for me is exercise. My body can be as efficient as it wants, but there is no doubting the caloric requirements of. 60 minutes on the treadmill!!!

I am 7 weeks out from my sleeve surgery and I still get hungry. However, I can't physically eat the amount I did before the surgery and now I prefer to eat nutrient dense food. I still have a problem with nausea so I prefer clean food. Not sure about the grehlin thing though - I'm in Australia and I've never heard of that.

Having fatty liver causes slow weight loss?

[stacey131 51]

Yes, NASH damages the livers ability to break down fat because it is engulfed in fat. I started taking milk thistle and Probiotics, who knows...good news is that. NASH improves as you lose weight. It might take longer but you are healing your liver in the process. NASH is such an unrecognized side effect of obesity. When I got my diagnosis I flipped, and needed to learn a,l that I could.

[stacey131 51]

Yes

I was told I have fatty liver about two years ago. I'm 8 weeks post op and losing slow. I never knew what was causing it. I pray I can reverse the damage
