This is what I don't like and don't want to do. If I did what you did I would make sure I was consuming around 150 grams of protien a day. I don't ever want to be in a deficit that is why I am not working out until I can consume more protien and calories. I am not sure this is really a good thing. This topic is one that isn't readily available. If you were in Hunter mode then you would be eating. Our bodies adjust to periods of not eating, but in the cave man days you were more sedentary during that time v. when you were hunting. You are doing a crazy workout. You need to eat!

The chicken Breast is injected with Chicken Flavoring. And the Hambuger meat is loaded with hamburger tasting filler so it is not 100% meat. There are also fillers in Chicken Nuggets. The hamburger filler is sprayed with butane (lighter fluid) to clean it. Please do not eat mcdonalds. Watch: food inc.

I think I am going to go back to the basics and try out my chilli and soups again. I can add unflavored protein. I guess I just don't know how much I am eating, but I know it isn't a lot. I really would love to get in 100 grams of protien a day. I have some more samples headed my way. Nectar sample pack. I will just keep looking for more.

I am totally going to get some refried Beans in tonight. I was afraid of the carbs, but at this point my calories are so low adding an additional 150 from beans should be ok. I did buy some dry roasted edamame from nutsonline.com. 1.8 oz has 18 grams of protien and 210 calories. I just don't know how much 1.8 oz is because I don't have scale.

My thoughts on this are I shouldn't be losing so much, and I would like to lose 6 pounds a month until I get to goal weight which would take me well over a year. I would like to be able to eat enough to manage this process, but I can't so it looks like I will lose more weight in the beginning and not by choice. If you are able to eat more then I would suggest a slower path. I just can't eat anything.

I had to make my own. They didn't give me one which I didn't quite understand. With our bellies not being tucked in I could feel it pulling on the incisions. My big incision is still giving me problems and i am almost month out, but with my binder I can pretty much do everything. It sucks it all in. I figure I will wear it until I am able to hold my own tummy in without pain and can work out without pain. Not working out yet. I wore a chest binder when I had breast reduction surgery for a month. It just holds everything in place while it all heals. Makes sense to me.

I only got to 180 once in my life, and I was still a size 14 bottom and 12 top. I am 5'10. I will never be an 8 bottom This was from 2003 to 2006. This feeling was so awesome that when I gained all the weight back I have been depressed ever since. I got to taste what skinny feels like and MAN IT FEELS GOOD. I had more dates than I knew what to do with, and I went on them and literally was on top of the world. I remember some jerko saying I would be a 10 if I just lost more in my tummy. Hey...A little tummy is sexy. Well I can not wait for this feeling again. I LOVE IT. NOBODY likes fat people. It is so sad, but I got better job offers, people didn't even care about my background I could have flown a plane and they would have been like ok...You got the job. It isn't right because not all fat people are lazy slobs that are slackers at work. So this time I want to get to 160. I don't ever remember being 160 ever. AND I AM GOING TO MILK IT FOR ALL ITS WORTH. I am going to take the motivation I have and instead of getting caught up in the dates...I am going to do it big. I want to DANCE. I want to sing. I want to ACT. I want to be on the radio. When you are skinny and pretty no one even cares about you. I actually always used to feel sorry for really skinny and pretty girls because time after time they dated men who would just date them because they looked good and didn't care about their insides. BUT I HOPE this happens to me because this time...Oh ok...I would love to date you...Can you get me an audition for that movie It is tough world out there and being fat for me...Just isn't an option anymore. So for those that this is the first time being skinny...Don't allow yourself to be a fat girl on the inside. I made that mistake for three years. Now I am going to be a skinny b***h. If someone stares at you STARE RIGHT BACK AT THEM AND WINK! SHOW OFF YOUR STUFF. Don't stick out your toungue or turn away. WEAR THAT SHORT SKIRT and rock those heels. THERE IS NOT ONE MORE DAY TO WASTE BEING A FAT GIRL ANYMORE.

I just knew I was going to be the one who bounced right back so I just took a week. Surgery on a Monday back to work the next. Oh I went back to work and on Tuesday I was crying my eyes out when I got back home. I had to take the next three days off, and I didn't get out of bed until Sunday. TWO WEEKS at the minimum and then go back to work if you feel better and are a bouncer back. I also wanted the third week of 1/2 days, but that didn't happen. I pushed through the third week and this is my fourth week now, and I am ok. This morning I feel good. Gatorade G2 helped so much with dehydration. I didn't wake up this morning with a dry mouth.

Having negative thoughts constantly is a terrible thing. People on here have a bad day and then find relief. This seriously pretty girl is trippin and needs some tough love. THERE IS NO GOING BACK. So she needs to saddle up, get off this site which just allows her to be negative all the time and find some happy things to do. This place is the only place where someone who constantly has negative thoughts can have someone feel sorry for them. I am my mother's child and she would tell me to stop wallowing in my negative thoughts. NO ONE ON THIS SITE WOULD DO THAT. Support is one thing, but if my mother ever heard me say what she just said about regretting it every day because I can't eat with my friends...After I cried and cried about being fat...She would slap me. She didn't say she was in pain. She didn't say she was having a compllication. She was saying she regrets it everyday because she can't eat with her friends. Nope sorry. Not gonna let that one go. Well I am certain to be a pariah now, but I just couldn't let another day go by where this...DID YOU SEE HER...SHE IS SO PRETTY...girl wallows in her own self-pity or if it isn't pity possibly maybe needs to seek out some therapy if she could be depressed.

My doctor said that losing weight is not the issue...It is keeping it off. Do you see biggest loser doing reunion shows or where are they now. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! So we can all lose it, but we all can't keep it off. Skinny people also have no clue what it is like to be fat. The ridicule. I mean I was the joke of my college, and I wasn't even that big. Being fat is mentally and phycially exhausting. that guy is just ignorant. My mom just saw me suffer and cry throughout most of my life and she would never say I have taken the easy way out. LOSING WEIGHT IS NOT EASY and this sleeve is not easy by any means, but when we are skinny and feeling better YOU WILL NOT CARE AT ALL ABOUT THAT GUY and then he is going to want to date you

Tamz - You were over 300 pounds and really need a reality check. Everyone has bad days, but you seem to be extrememly negative about the sleeve and that is your right, but in all honesty - there isn't **** you can do about it now. So you have to embrace it and learn to love it. I fear your misery will be forever if you don't punch yourself in the face and start telling yourself that first you needed this because you couldn't do it on your own and second so what if you can't eat. FAT OR EAT? I guess you wanted to be FAT. BUT I know you didn't and you don't. SO PUT ON YOUR BIG GIRL PANTS and tell yourself you made the right choice...Because even if you didn't, again...There is no going back. I am not even 30 days out yet and my incision pain is still seriously bothering me. It feels like SCIATICA in my stomach, but OH WELL. I gotta go to work. I am dizzy everytime I get up, but I gotta push through it and drink more and figure out what I need to do. I was eating like I had lost my damn mind, but finally, no more bad fat girl thoughts...Eater's remorse. GONE. At 30 days. You have to really get it together. Because we are gonna lose our hair, our skin is going to be saggy and who knows what else is gonna happen...You have got to start getting to a positive place because the journey is long and FOREVER. Do you want to be all down forever. You post a lot of negative things on this site, and I think you need to take a break, get your nails and toes done, get a massage and LET THE **** GO. It is ok to have a bad day, but you don't seem to have any good days. Maybe you should also see someone. And I am really sorry to say this, but I have been lerking on this site for awhile and it just seems you are really bad off. Attitude really is everything.

how do you know if you have had to much or you could eat more. i don't have any triggers for being full so when you eat what does it feel like and how do you know if you have pushed it to far. how could you cause a leak and how do you stretch it?

with so many variations in diets I find that I just do what it takes. I am still struggling with protein, and i just can't drink another protein drink. I cook a piece of salmon and a piece of halibut and graze on it over the day. I take a couple of spirulina tablets. I honestly do not think you can just eat 3 times a day or even 5. i can't even fathom putting anything into my body but protein at this point, but i do use butter to cook with. a little fat is ok for you. the fish is already fatty, but i need the protein more than i need to lose weight fast. i am not anywhere near drinking 64 oz yet, and i maybe need to push things a little to see where i can go when it comes to water. i am never hungry ever. i eat because i have to. i think you need to do whatever it is you need to do in order to get in your nutrition. i refuse to have anymore anything with artificial sweetners. this sleeve is trick, but i had to experiment.

I am 18 days and that incision is killing me, but I took some advil and it feels so much better. Doc said it was ok to take two. He also said soda was ok in moderation, but just let it sit for awhile. I guess the pain will go away one day. The steri-strip is still there so I don't know if it is trying to oooze. I feel great other than that so I figure the pain will go away one day. Tylenol didn't do crap. Advil is my cure all. I just chewed it up. I think my pain has got to be the worst. NO SERIOUSLY it makes me want to HURT SOMEBODY. IT IS NOT COOL AT ALL. But then I take the advil, and I feel like a normal person again.

The lump in my throat is gone. Been on Prevacid and doing much better. At the pureed food stage. Surgery was 17 days ago. Problem #1 - Drinking/Protien/Eating - So pureed Soups are fantastic and they go down with ease. My first egg...Threw that up. Tried Hard Boiled and I can eat one egg white. So how in the hell do I get 70 grams of Protein in and 64 ounces of Water. I literally probablyy drank 3 cups of water yesterday and had maybe 20 grams of protein. I know I get side tracked and since I am not hungry I totally forget to eat. Drinking, I forget that too. I could tell in my urine yesterday that I needed to step up my intake I just really am having a tough time. I can drink with ease...I just let the day go by at work and towards the end i realize it is 7pm, and I have had only a little bit of water and only a little bit of food. Problem #2 - INCISION PAIN!!!! OMG!!! - Called the Doctor about it yesterday. I think he gets a lot of calls about pain so he acts a little like it is nothing, but seriously...THE PAIN under the big incision is like WOW!!!!!!! It is sharp. Of course I have no fever, no ooozzing....It seems like it is the stitches under the incision. I am sure I over did it, but this pain is not pleasant at all. My Doctor is like...It could be a hernia, but I doubt it. I said to him...Could it be infected because that is sort of what I feel...He goes...Possibly, but I doubt it. The way that he says it is too funny, but at the same time I am like...WTF. I need this pain to go away because until it does I ain't walking for NOBODY! OUCH!

I am not a worry wort, but I just feel like the sleeve is quite consuming in terms of always thinking about eating, drinking, vitamins, leaks, pain, will I lose the weight, when can I work out, etc, etc, etc. When does it all just click and you start living? I just feel like I am on egg shells. Then on top of everything worrying about...When is the hair going to fall out and will it be really bad. I know it takes time, but how long.

$17,900 in DC. Got a CareCredit loan interest free for 18 months for $15,900. So I paid out of pocket for the rest and $1,000 for additional tests and consultations.

I think I will do the vitamins for breakfast and the calcium for the lunch and dinner. I couldn't quite get a schedule. I NEVER miss my PREVACID so I just have to take them right after I take that. Now it is just meals and liquids to get together.

So I don't even know what Acid Reflux is supposed to feel like because I have never had it before. So I told you about this lump in my throat, well it is making me gag and now I feel sick to my stomach. I am just crying and crying because I can't get rid of it. I sort of felt something burn, but then I just drank some water and the craziest thing is that my tounge feels like it has fur on it. Like there is lint in my mouth and I can't get it out. The lump is worse now then it ever has been and feels bigger. I am just scared, and I am cry baby, but before this surgery I was just fat I didn't have any problems except for being a fatty. I am feeling like I made a mistake. I am still at work by the way.

so i eat my creamed soup and really need to slow down. it is not like i eat it and it just comes back up it is just that it sort of just sits there, but there is no feeling of full. i don't have any warning signs and at some sittings i can eat more than others. i just feel like i should feel something, but i don't. it doesn't bother me because i am not hungry, but just want to see if this was a forever thing or if anyone can tell me in their words how they feel when they eat. i am almost 2 weeks out. the intial weightloss is quite scary since i am already down 30 pounds in less than two weeks. i hope it slows down. seems a bit too fast which was my biggest fear.

I literally told my boss I need more time. she wasn't too happy, but oh well. i think about everyone else but myself. this time i had no choice. so i got some prevacid, that stupid lump is still there, but i just feel better in general because of these three days off. i wish i had 3 weeks, but that woulld be out of the question. back to work again on monday, but at least i can eat eggs. i just have a good feeling about eggs. i am also able to get more fluids in. since starting the prevacid no more furry toungue. i will just keep on it and keep breathing!

I am having my own set of issues right now that are freaking me out, but I can't imagine what you must be going through. I can drink ok. I just hope you call your doctor.
