Five pounds a week is nothing to sneeze at. I was sleeved September 26th and I have lost 44 lbs. That's 11 lbs a month. Now the first 2 weeks I was down about 10 lbs also. But it adds up. Even if you only lose 2 lbs a week from now on, in a year you will be down 104 lbs in a year, right!

i cant wait to join you there one day this year i hope

Congrats to you! I am still in the "i can't believe this is gonna happen phase". I am so happy for you and can't wait to be able to share my experiences. Good luck and congrats girl!

Great NSV!! You also had great scale victory also!! you are right to never be disappointed a loss is a loss... and Im so very happy for you. Stay positive and it will all fall in to place!

so proud of you eye candy

I am the most considerate person you will meet especially in the workplace. Someone once told me i could tell her to go to hell and she would thank me for the trip. LOL However...i am also direct and find its better to be honest and manage peoples expectations so If it were me... The next time she came at me with something silly like you are drinking too much water I would politely say ."..I am following my doctors orders and I feel very comfortable with it. Thanks for your help but I think I will just find my own way". And every time she tried to offer advise I would say the exact same thing. She will tire of the game rather quickly I bet.

Hang in there. If I had a dime for every time I asked myself why I did this the first couple weeks we all would b rich. I'm almost to week 5, it gets easier on the emotions.

Do you know this was the first year my husband asked and I actually gave him my sizes.... In previous years he'd say... I dont know your size but never asked me for it.... LOL I agree with you on the clothes issue... why heavier people shove themselves into small clothing or styles not appropriate for their figure is beyond me. I didnt do it when I was fat and I am not going to do it now... I am 52 for god sakes... I do not need to be wearing a short skirt... just because I can. LOL

Hi there! I am 21 days today post-op as well! Woohoo for both of us! I have lost 23 lbs eating high-protein, low carb. I intro'd solids late last week and doing well...definately hear you on the sweating and nausea thing though if you eat too fast :S I eat typically: low fat cottage cheese for break 1/2 c soft egg whites for snack sugar free applesauce -1/4 c soup (broth based) for lunch..i usually can tolerate about a half cup ground chicken meat ball or ground meat (i had meatloaf last night...woohoo...although, had about 4 bites lol) mashed veg like squash puree, peas, etc...these are TOUGH so as much as I can handle. I want to start noshing on spinach pretty bad for the iron, going to try it today and try to combat this tiredness shrimp-oh man, lovvvve shrimp and no issues with digestion...I find anything seasoned, overly salty, etc is what gets me. Al lthe best!!!
