SW July 2013-197 lbs.

CW Sept 2013-178 lbs.

Thanks fellow sleevers to have someplace to vent,

Hang in there AmandainSC. I am also a 7/29 surgery gal. Like you I have been stuck (at 31 down). Two weeks of really good exercise and nutrition choices and not an ounce lost. Frustration....you bet. My scales have just started to move again. Keep up your good efforts and yours will too

I was sleeved on September 10 pre op I was 293 and post op I was 273. Last week I I was 264 and my current weight is 270. Is it normal to gain weight back even when sticking to the diet? I'm feeling really discourage right now and I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong.

Are you ummm... going to the bathroom? Constipation can make you gain temporarily.

Sleeved July 25th (2 days to 10 week mark, this Wed) and 23.8lbs down w/ 52.6 to go. Stalled from week 3 to week 7. Started losing weight week 8. Down 5lbs in the last two weeks. So I'd say, weight loss is super super slow! I'm barely even making a crawl.

However, I'm down inches like no ones business. Down from a super tight/uncomfortable size 18 skinny jeans in waist to a super loose size 14, and a perfect fit size 12! Not bad my friends...not bad at all! My thighs didn't really need much, but those are tiny too. My legs are super muscular calves of sexyness (they sort of always were...but now...DAMN). My arms are down, my bra size is down 2 cups, however my band remain's the same (bra rolls anyone lol). My face! OH MY FACE I TELL YA! So slim. No double chin in sight. And sooooooo slim with all that natural contouring in my cheek/hollows etc. Nice!

So I'd trade inches over lbs any day! :)

I just hope to keep dropping the inches like this forever! HAHA!

      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.
