Am just wondering am I gonna be the 1st one who made the sleeve operation and didn't lose weight

My sleeve was 17/12

Down like 6 kilos and then a stall for 4 weeks and then down another 3 kilos and stall AGAIN!!

I don't know how to manage my food actually.. am always hungry .. maybe every 2 hours .. I eat and then I feel runny nose and sneezing every time I have a full stomach

I honestly wish I had some answer for you just don't give up. I lose 5 or 6 than stall constantly. I would say just continue to do what you're supposed to and don't give up and think it's not working. Try to stay focused.

You are going to have to sit down and plan out 3 meals and 1 snack at very specific times. For example, eat at 8, 12, and 6, with a snack at 3.

Stay away from food at other times, but keep drinking your sugar free beverages.

If you are eating every 2 hours, you have no time to drink! (Think about it.. 30 minutes before, plus 30 minutes for the meal, plus 1 hour after with no liquids).

You are doing what is called "eating around your sleeve" eating more frequently and not waiting to drink... I'll bet you aren't getting 64oz of Water either ;)

If you are truly uncomfortable, you may have too much acid, or some inflamation. Talk to your doc and nut.

You can do this!

I am 3 1/2 months post-op and I've been on stalls as many weeks as I've lost weight. It's just part of the process. The scale continues to move down and my clothes are getting bigger so it's all working out. You just have to be patient and follow your program. Make sure you are eating your Protein, drinking your Water and avoiding carbs as much as possible. Also make sure you are working out 4-5X a week.

      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.
