I am stressed out because I feel like I am not losing fast. My surgery was 2/12 and I was 265 post op and 225 now, but it teeters up and down a few lbs daily. Anyway I worry that I am stretching my stomach and that it isn't going to work for me!

I was sleeved on Feb 19th. Started at 263 and now I'm 210... I have hit a stall and no matter what I do I'm not losing. I ride my bike anywhere from 3-10 miles a day.. I almost think I'm eating to much even though I don't eat a lot I snack. I haven't seen 199 in 20+ years and am starting to feel like I never will....

Was getting ready this morning to check in for the same reason I was sleeved 2/12, started at 261 lbs, and had been stuck at 205 for 3 weeks. This morning wallah! 203 lbs!!! I think we're going to start hitting plateau's more often now that we're approaching 5 months out from surgery. I work with several who had surgery in Jan and they started having the same experience around 5 months. Others were sleeved a year or so ago and they all assure me the weight will continue to come off just slower than were used to. I too have not seen below 200 lbs in over 20+ years and cannot wait to see that 199. Cheers!!!!!

I was sleeved February 18th, my heaviest weigh on Sept 20 was 254 lbs.... I was 212 on the surgical table!!!! Now I am at 155lbs, 5 months post op almost, on July 18 anyways. Loving my nee body. I am much more confident. I still do not see myself the way others do, hopefully my mind will catch up with my real size, still feel fat most of the time.

Please stop weighing yourself everyday - EVERYONE'S weight teeters up and down a few lbs daily. You're just torturing yourself. Pick a weigh day once a week and stick to it but only that day.

      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.
