Measurements mean ALOT, I was sleeved on Oct. 18th and I am now down 31 pounds, BUT my cloths are now very very loose and I am by-passing size 16 pretty much, and will be in a 14 before I know it. I plan on taking my measurements again tomorrow and know I will see several inches gone, EXCEPT my boobs, for some reason they never seem to go away whenever I lost weight in the past, my husband loves it but me, not so much!

I'm eating anything I want only in small portions, I have even eaten pizza, homemade and healthy, it seems the more I eat the more I lose weight. Constipation has been somewhat of an issue but between Colace and Fiber gummies I think I have it under control.

This has been great,the best thing I ever did, I Love my sleeve, I feel normal again and I can lose weight finally! :D

Sleeved 10/25 @300 lbs. I am down to 260. I haven't been taking my measurements...i had before surg and now cant find where i hid them! Most of my clothes are baggy but haven't had to buy any. Still not getting enough prot or Water in.

I can only eat 1/8 to 1/4 c food at a time. Can't do eggs, coffee, dense meats, dairy. So eating choices are sort of limited to stuff like tuna or chk salad...bean Soup, vienna sausage, soft cheese, refried Beans, prot shakes. Feeling almost normal, but still get tired if i do a lot. I am 50/F.. 5'10". Good to hear from other Oct sleevers!

Same here. My bust has always been out if proportion with the rest of me. Although my hubby says they are shrinking. I certainly have no prob with that!

Oct 23rd here - going through my 2nd.. or 3rd stall? :( frustrated. I lost exactly 30 lbs and the scale isn't moving. I feel like I look the same and trying not to let old thoughts creep in and demoralize my good intentions. Maybe I will try the measurements thing

idk guys

As frustrating as this can be, it is so good to hear other perspectives of those who been through being sleeved and have a basis of knowledge and experience. Thank you.

      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.
