Hi all, im a newbie on here..............lol

Hi Emma...

Welcome, welcome, welcome!

This site is fantastic for support in any way, shape or form... You've come to the right place for others to understand the food issues and every other issue you'll face on your sleeve journey.

Sorry to hear about your leg... Doesn't sound like much fun at all. Hopefully you won't have to have that cast on for too long. Make sure you just ease back into exercise though when it comes off!

Have a stroll through all the different sections on this site, you'll more than likely find some helpful info.. If you're looking for anything in particular, there's a search button at the top of the screen, or post away :)

Good luck in your journey!

Hi Emma

Welcome to the forum, you'll find lots of people with similar experiences to you here.

I would discuss with a dietician if you stall continues, Christina is right on the money re starvation, I know a couple of people here who had to up what they were eating and then the weight came off again - but check with your surgeon/dietician first.

I've got some lovely welsh friends, so you'll get it when I say that you'll look lush and tidy when you reach your goal :)

Hi Emmie,

What a bumpy ride so far but hello WOW about your weight loss to date!! I'm stoked with mine which is right about on par with yours. Like strawberry I'm very close to what you were as well. It's been a bit slower for me but I waited until I got onto solids before joining the gym 2 wks ago and haven't looked back. Same with you I've always been the 'big' kid/friend etc can't wait to be on the other side with you as well ...look out normal here we come lolz.

best of luck with your leg and hope it heals up good and proper right quick for you :)

Hi Emma, and welcome to the forum

My weight is a little the same - at first it came off really easily but in the last few weeks it's barely moved. I think I've reached the point where I really need to do some proper exercise to keep it coming off. All I've been doing so far is walking the dog, and that doesn't seem to cut it anymore!

What a pain about your leg, hope it's feeling better soon, heals right, and you can get the plaster off and get moving. Keep us updated on how you're going! Are you planning to convert your sleeve to a bypass any time?

HI Emma,

Congrats on making the decision and getting the operation, that i think is half the battle, but Ill let you know when im on the other side lol, 27 days to go for me.

Are you seeing a dietician and/or counsellor. Dietician will be able to help you with what you should be eating to keep the weight coming off, alot of the time people arnt eating enough and they go into starvation mode so your body stores all your energy.

And a counsellor will give you someone to talk to who is not going to judge you, and give you that face to face contact, otherwise we are all here to talk to on here :)

Hopefully you will get the cast off soon and be up and walking again to aid in the further weightloss :)
