You need to send one of them a private message through here with your FB name and description of your profile pic just so they will have the right person. We are trying to be sure we add the right people as we won't it to be a small group of just Feb people.

Hey guys! I just got sleeved on 2/25 in Guatemala! I'm feeling fine most of the time, but I feel a bit hungry, especially when others around me are eating normal food. I've also become quite fed up with all of this soup/protein drink crap! It all tastes gross, which has sort of made me lose my appetite. Then again, maybe I'm a bit biased (I'm a chef). Anyhow, would love to be a part of the Facebook group and have a chance to hear more about what you guys are going through!

Sleeved on February 9... Down 20 pounds and the last 3 days been in a stall. I'm wicked annoyed. Am I eating too much? I feel like I could eat a steak dinner. I'm doing great! No complaints at all. What am I doing wrong? I'm eating yogurt, cottage cheese and Soup. That's it! I do have hunger pains... I feel like I am starving sometimes!

I also had my surgery on the 9th, I stalled last week too for a few days so I stopped weighing myself every day - only once a week now and I am losing steadily every week. My total weight loss is 36 lbs, 19 lbs since surgery (as of last Friday!) Which means I am averaging a pound a day!

Also - make sure you are drinking at least 64 ounces of Water every day - that is important for weight loss and will help keep you feeling full.

Hi, sleeves 2/11 lost 10 pounds in the first week. Seriously upset though bc the scale hasn't budged in a week. I do have a hard time getting in enough fluids and Protein but I am walking 30 min every day on top of my normal housework. I have zero heartburn or difficulty getting my soft foods in. But for example yesterday was an egg w cheese a babybel cheese and a half a piece of cod but I was so full I couldn't look at anything else. Is my body that stubborn it won't kick the weight off? Aside from not being hungry I'm wondering why I did this! I just feel alone bc all my husband can say is "I don't know you're beautiful anyway" ... While I adore is answer I just wonder if I'm alone out there ... Sorry for the rant just very frustrated this morning

Just keep at it! A weight loss stall is normal around 3 weeks. Make sure you are getting at least 64 ounces of Water in every day. It is important to keep you kidneys healthy with all the protein you are taking in and is important to help with weight loss. I have to sip water constantly throughout the day to get it in and in the first week after surgery I actually set the alarm on my phone to go off every 5 minutes to remind myself to sip something.

Maybe try journaling every day to help with your emotions and to help remember why you did this. Your lifelong health benefits by having this done and losing weight are priceless! I hope things are better for you this week.

It could be from all the fluids they pumped in as well as the gas. I would do some walking. I would think it would come off rather quickly. Good luck!

      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.
