    Good luck! The main tip I have is just to follow your doctor's orders/recommendations. Also, on the internet you tend to hear all the horror stories and your surgeon's office is probably telling you all these bad things that can happen. Personally, my biggest issue has been constipation, but no other digestion or tolerance issues. :)

    Hello everyone is there a way to set this to the fact that you had the sleeve because 2310 cals seems like a lot

    @kkindle23 there's no option to set things for any WLS, unfortunately. You have to go in and manually change your calories and macros. If you consume less than 1000 calories a day, and you try to "end" your day, MFP will yell at you and tell you you're not eating enough. Just ignore it. :smiley: I think all of us need to start contacting MFP with requests for alterations according to WLS.

    I got mine on November 16th. It has been hard at times, but as I am learning it is trial and error with the foods that I can eat. I can't eat ham. But it is a learning process.

    @jaymug424 My surgery was on 10/15/15, I am down a total of 44 lbs. I am losing slower than I had anticipated as well, but I'm happy. Everyone is different. I try not to compare myself to others anymore. I really got myself worked up for a bit, but now understand my body is different and will lose at the rate it's comfortable. I follow my nutritionists' plan, I work out regularly with both cardio and weights, I do everything I need to do...so I'm happy when I lose. Glad you're doing well!

    Hi everyone! I was lapband to sleeve revision, had my surgery on December 8th. I've lost 16 pounds, and finally had to step away from the scale, because I was making myself crazy with it! Seriously, like weighing multiple times a day, and being hard on myself when it would creep up a few ounces, even knowing full well this can happen. I'm glad I found this group :-)

    Hello ladies.. I don't remember if I introduced myself here.. I'm Marci and I was sleeved on 8/25/15. Today I hit the 80lb weight loss mark.. Woohooo! I'm feeling great. Trying to get my protein in every day is a challenge for me, and I've just started losing my hair, but it's not too bad. My before and after pic is my profile photo for now.. Best wishes to all!!

    @mg_89 80lbs is AWESOME! I'm so close to that I can taste it! About your hair...how is your fat? A lot of times people go too low on fat and that can have an effect on your hair. We need protein, fat, and certain minerals to help protect our hair. Try to add avocado (guacamole), cook with coconut oil, use hummus in salads (chicken, tuna, etc), to get your fat up to about 40 grams a day. (if it's lower) I'm only 3 1/2 months out and struggle getting my fats in, but try really hard because I don't want to lose my hair!!!!

    Good luck to you!

    Thanks! Not too bad, actually.. Really, feeling great. My first week out from surgery, I had major buyer's remorse... But after the first week, I felt so much better and definitely keeps getting better. Thanks for the tips.. And best of luck everyone!
