[Changing B4YourEyes 118]

Hi everyone, How are things going with you? I was sleeved 7/16. My highest weight was 273.6... I am 177.5. I am much more happier now. Off all my meds, cpap, and pain management. I am doing something new and that is finally living my life for me to the fullest. I hope that you all are doing well!

You know everyone is different, lol. It sounds like your doing good. Just keep trying to move. Have you tried to change up your routine a little so your body can get out of the norm and you can break that stall?

Hi, Have you tried Biotin? I had hairloss for before surgery, I now this sounds crazy but I am just now getting use to it. I am using Biotin and I have noticed less hair when I wash my hair. Do you track your food and Protein? What does your daily food intack consist of?

Zinna, Keep working that tool Girl! What is your calorie count up to now? I try not to do much snaking although during the monthly I have cravings and I do reach for chocolate but only a little. When I do feel hungry I reach for yogurt, I have a hard time with food but it has gotten much better. I still do shakes but one of day and maybe 4-5 times a week. I try to get what I need from dense Proteins, fish, chicken and steak.

Wow you're all doing so well! Congrats. I was sleeved July 11th highest weight 217 I now 147.

Almost 70 lbs. I'm having issues with my gallbladder. Had pain at the bottom of my right rib. Just since Christmas the pain the radiates to my right shoulder blade. Just now had an ultrasound. Ill find out later today the results. My deductible is paid up until Jan. 1 hoping I don't need surgery sigh... I've been stalled the entire month of December. I've had a horrible time with the holidays. Made fudge and ate. I have post traumatic stress disorder and a few current events in this last month have triggered it again.

Anyway I hope everyone keeps doing well. We can do this!!!

Start weight was 229 now I am 170. Surgery date was July 18th. I am at stall and actually gained 2.5 pounds this week. I weight weekly and try to always do in morning. I am struggling with hunger now and that discourages me! Having a hard time getting lots of liquids in!

Hello I just joined this site. I was sleeved on July 23 2012. My start weight was 382 and my weight as of this morning ( we all become obsessed with the scale!) is 262.7. I am always eager to talk to others that have had the sleeve as well. I am taking my Biotin because my hair did start to fall out. I am starting to work out more since I don't want to stall. I find meat, beef and pork heavy, does anyone else? I stay away from the meat because I feel like I swallowed a brick lol. I started eating more fish and tofu to get the Protein in. I am awful with the Protein Shakes but I try in other ways. I am so happy to see so many great results post sleeve and most important so many people happy with the life changing experience!
