Sleeved on Oct 30, 2012. Been on maintenance since last month and TRYING not to loose weight. Kinda hard because I struggle to get 1000 in! Would like to gain 10 lbs (Doctors orders!)

Please write your weight on the day of surgery also to let others get a better idea of your progress. Because starting weight is very important criteria to gauge your success.

I was sleeved 10/10/12... I lost 149 pounds and need another 60 pounds to be at MY goal. Slow and steady wins the race.

10/23 surgery date down 70 pounds. I feel great. However I think I'm stuck not losing much for the past few weeks. I try not to obsess about the scale and do the right thing. Ughhhh anyone stuck?

Yea me!! I been the same weight for like a month now... The scale is not moving... I eat soooooo much.. Like every 1hr on the 1hr I'm hungry.. Nothing is working... I only lost 40lbs since my surgery which was on 2/4/13 I feel the same I feel no difference I lost so much of my hair it's depressing... I wear wigs now... U not alone... I just don't no what to do

Eat Protein to kill hunger and resist the temptation to eat every hour.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
