I took the extra to send a friend request.
I had VSG March 2015. Things have gone really well. Up a few pounds because of a recent bout with shingles but overall all my health metrics are good. I'm probably happier and healthier than I've ever been in my adult life. 6 -
Add me! We've lost about the same amount of weight. I'm also 3 months post op.4

To HopelesslyFat2014. I am 66 years old & had my sleeve done on 8/23/2016. HW-308,SW-245.3, CW-221, GW-150. I am losing really slow also. The dr. said it's because I lost a good bit of weight before surgery & my age. I am 5'7".2

My doc put me back on phentermine about a month ago and just prescribed Belviq (picked it up today). My losses are a bit slow, but I lost about before surgery so my surgery day weight was 203. Down to 166 as of last week but they want to speed up the loss since I am in my second 6 mos post op when thing slaps and they want me to get rid of this last 20-25 lbs fast! May be worth looking into meds too4

I was sleeved Sept 26, 2016. I am 37 years old and 5'2". HW-255 SW-220 CW-195. I just sent you a friend request. I log everything too. I hate that mfp won't allow me to close out my diaries because they are less than 1000 calories, but I still log it all anyway.8

jcvanna2 I was on belviq before surgery & lost from 308 to 245.3. So did you have the sleeve done & when was it. Mine was the sleeve on 8/23/2016.1

@annglenn That's great to know about Belviq - I take it you liked it for the most part? I am going to take it only 2x/day vs. 2.
I actually had gastric bypass on 4/18/16. I'm 42, 5'4", HW 239.6, SW 203, and CW 166.8 (but doing my official weekly weigh in at WW this morning).2 -
Yes belviq worked great for me from December 2015 to August 2016 lost from 308 to 245. My surgeon that did my hernia surgery years before said I wasn't losing weight quick enough & needed Bariatric surgery. So I went to the Bariatric surgeon who said can't do the bypass due to my colon being tangled up in my hernia. So she did the sleeve & no hernia repair. I have to lose more weight before the hernia can be repaired because my weight will pull on it. But I am not losing any faster after the sleeve than I was when taking belviq. The whole situation sucks. I eat between 800-1,000 calories a day. How about you?0

Hi Ann,
Sorry to hear about your loss not speeding up post surgery! Did ou speak to your doctor about that? I give myself 1200 cal/day. I do sometimes go over that on weekends or on hard workout days. Have you been focusing on high protein? I would definitely recommend drinking a lot of water and increasing your activity and see if that helps.0 -
Thank you everyone, sent request! Looking forward to sharing our journeys together.1

Hi Everyone. My name is Katie, and I had the gastric sleeve done in July. I'm new to the group so anyone that's looking for a friend to motivate them, feel free to add me. So far I'm down 100 lbs since surgery. I'm looking to lose at least another 100. HW/SW: 410, CW: 309, Goal:175-1806

I am 13 mos post op. I logged everyday for about 340 days straight and then stopped for the past month and boy, what a mistake. I gained 5 pounds over the holidays so I am getting back on track this week. Feel free to add me! My weight loss has been slow but my surgeon warned me it would be because I had the Lap Band from 2007 - 2011 (had to be removed, erosion), regained the weight, and then had the sleeve 12/7/15 and so my metabolism is a mess. SW 220, CW 180 (was 175 before the holidays!). I think I may do a 5DPT or back to liquids for a few days to try and kill my carb cravings. Anyway feel free to add me (that is open to all!).1

@Ilovegym2016 phentermine works! Also added Belviq a month or so ago. I haven't taken it as regularly as I should due to holidays and crazy schedule!1
