Congrats on 18months out and on your awesome weight loss!!!

I went to the doctor (not surgeon) at about 2 1/2 months out. I thought I was healed, had not pain or tenderness or anything. I was there for a kidney/bladder infection so he had me lay down on the exam table to check for any tenderness or swelling related to that. When he pressed around my stomach area, I came up off the table!!! I hadnt thought to mention that since I was there for a UTI and I hadn't had pain or soreness in 2 months!! So, yeah, you still are healing internally and can hurt yourself unintentionally.

Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!

Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, I was sleeved April 11th. I thought I was doing good until I see that you've lost 85 pounds?!?!?!? That's freaking fantastic!!! Congratulations!!!!! I've lost 84 total but 41 since surgery. I feel great though and that's what matters (most days:) I'm about 65 pounds to goal, 3 pounds to onederland!!!! Looking forward to seeing how everyone is doing!

You will be a beautiful bride! Congrats on the weight loss and even more, CONGRATS ON THE ENGAGEMENT!!!

I'm outta the plus size clothes too! ISN'T IT A WONDERFUL FEELING!?!??? Congrats!!

You seem to be at pretty much the same numbers as me. I was sleeved on April 11th. I get about 800 calories a day, at least 70g of protein daily, and no more than 30g of carbs a day. I have lost 41 pounds since surgery. I stall about every 3 weeks for a week or so. Sounds almost identical to you Don't freak out or worry because then I will feel like I need to freak out or worry!! lol

Mine is usually referred to as "Boss" since she runs the show...

This is a great thread! My list has a little from all of these but will definitely be longer now when I can corporate some of these ideas in!! Thanks!

I am three months out and my "drive" is better than ever!!! My husband loves my sleeve as much as I do!!

That is awesome!! Congratulations! I completely understand, I have been at 203 for over a week now and it's driving me CRAZY!!! I just keep doing what I'm supposed to be doing and know that the scale WILL move, even if it takes a little while!! CONGRATS ON BREAKING YOUR STALL!!!

Saying a prayer for you!! Hope you get good news, keep us posted!

I am 3 and a half pounds from onderland AND I CAN'T WAIT TO GET THERE!!!!

You look amazing!!!!!! Congratulations!!!

I agree, call the doc. Probably UTI from the catheter.

What protein powder do you use? I have yet to find one I can even tolerate

Oh no!! Definitely praying for you! Hope you get relief fast!

Hilarious! I now have bones I didn't remember having before surgery too!!

My new short-term goal is to lose 23 more pounds by July 26th. There is a little bit of a story as to why I chose such a random date. Last year, on July 26th, I was at my highest weight ever. There was a blackout in the town I live in. I had no candles and no flashlight. I got a call from a life long friend and the next thing I know he showed up at my door with candles AND a flashlight. He stayed at the house talking with me and my daughters until after midnight when the lights finally came back on. Three weeks and 3 days later, we were married! So, if I can lose 23 more pounds by July 26th, I will have lost a total of 100 pounds since that wonderful, blessed night. Wish me luck!!!
