I know I shouldn't be mad about a stall or not seeing any changes on the scale but I am. I eat or drink at least between 500-600 cal per day and still haven't loss anything. Don't get me wrong I did lose some Water weight. Pl tell me wat I am doing wrong. The little I have already lost makes my body look good already especially at my age. But I would like to c more weight come off. Am I too impatient or is my sleeve failing me already? ????????????

I wish my energy would come back ASAP b4 my husband starts to regret this. I haven't been the same. 18 days out.

Karen Scott, regret will do us no good now. I am sure your sleeve is not failing me. I see people with 75 pounds of weight loss in 5 months and I have felt that I am not losing fast enough to be where they are in 5 months, but I have to realize that roughly 1 pound a day ain't bad. After all, I wasn't losing it that fast preop. Don't put the cart before the horse. It may be a blessing in disguise that you are losing at a slow pace. Less dramatic excess skin!!! If I am at or near my goal weight this time next year, I will be good. We have to think long term or this whole experience will get to us. Trust me, I totally understand how you feel. I am almost 2 weeks out and I was wondering why I am only 11 pounds lighter than on my surgery day. Then I realized that hey, I am only 11 days post op, that's a pound a day. So I should be down 30 pounds in a month. Not bad! Hang in there Karen. You will do fine and you will look back in a year and wonder where the weight went. LOL

I have had the same pain for many months, and thought it was muscular from exercise. I started having very bad indigestion several months ago. I went to my doc last week and had a gallbladder ultrasound today. They called this afternoon and said its gallstones. Sad to say I hope the gallbladder scan turns out positive it can come out and I can get back to normal. The indigestion has been awful. I have had twinges in the front, but mostly all in my back.

That's what I am worried about . I stoped eating a higher fat food and started taking cranberry pills and its does not bother me to much just when I eat a avacodo tuna .

      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.
