I was sleeved Aug 1 GB removed in early December. It has not slowed my weight loss.

I am so disappointed in me. I fell off this weekend. I found that I can eat small portions of what my family is eating, So I am now going back to full liquid for a while and keeping up with my working out. I abused my tool.

my surgey was aug 1, so that's why i'm so down on myself. I started back on my full liquid this morning. just pissed I slipped this soon.

Hey everyone, how is everyone doing? Time is moving fast, 8/15 is 2 weeks, i can't believe how quick it has come and the difference. I am down 20 lbs, this is just so exciting to me. I have not been under 300lbs for some years now and I am 6 lbs away! I am ready to be off the full liquid, I still have my need to chew! I am having a hard time getting in more than 13oz of Protein a day. I can drink crystal light, ice tea or Water all day but i have little desire to take in the allowed items. My follow up is on 8/16 maybe they can give me some pointers on the protein. So that's all with me, whats going on with the rest of the all stars!?

its so exciting to read everyone's progress. I'm two weeks in and I am down almost 2 sizes, my 24's and 22's are nice and roomy. I need to dig in some old clothes for some 20's and see what they are fitting like.

7 days w/o chewing is killing me. I have my follow up apmt w my doc and nutritionist 8/16.........it's killing me (did I say that already) lol!

I am shocked at how hast its coming off, I am kinda scared that when I get off the full liquid that it will slow down. Yes it is hard to get in Water and Protein, i worry about the protein but the water i'm ok with. I hope that I will be on mushy food after my follow up tomorrow and I can get in more protein that way.

I'm sorry that you are still having pain. I am in love with the yoplait desert flavor's they make my day. I think my issue with getting in the Protein is that I am supposed to do 3oz every 3 hrs. if I could just drink a shake til i get it done i would do better.......idk. Its a learning process for us and will will make it.

your doing great! so good to hear good news! im so excited for us!

I did the same thing w popcorn at the movies w my son. I sucked until it was just kernel then I spit it in a napkin.

Good to see us coming out the wood work. How is everyone doing? I was sleeved on 8/1. No complicatons, 1st two days were hard for me, uncomfortable but nothing like a c section (i didn't have any issues w that either). I'm doing well down 19lbs, I haven't been under 300lbs in so long, its getting close 7more lbs! I look forward to updates

Ice is nice !

Thanks for the pointer!

Thanks for the pointer!

Hey to all the AA's! Day 3 was good to me until I jumped up and went running errands. I went to drop some shoes off to my sister and to get to her apmt its a steep set of stairs. I walked up pretty fast, passed her the shoes and came back down. Then I went to kroger, instead of me just getting what i needed and leaving I thought this will be my walk for the day. When I got in the car I felt some discomfort, figured I just needed to rest. I took a nap and woke up the same if not worse off. I took some pain meds waiting for it to kick in. The abdominal area pain/tenderness I expect. however this pain when I swallow is odd, not so much a pain but odd discomfort. it feels tight under my breasts and when i swallow it either gets more painful or i get hiccups. Is anyone else feeling this odd discomfort?

I think it was gas, the gas x strips we not working for me. Things have been allot better.

I was sleeved on 8/1/11 so i have just started on my journey and I had the same concerns as you. I feel better already, i am not achy when walking, my blood pressure is comming down ( this i know because when i take my meds my pressure drops) and I have more energy. I am praying that the skin isn't too bad. I have thick hair so i can take a bit of loss cause I know it will grow back. I am also lactose intolerant, I drink sugar free carnation instant Breakfast for Protein, i have some of the pre made ones when im on the go and the powder i mix with silk milk (its a soy milk and I truly like the taste)

10lbs great! You had your surgery on 8/1 as well? I have yet to get on a scale but now i am wondering how much I have lost

Amen!

OMG we had the same week! I came home Tuesday and dinner smelled like death. Last night I was so tempted to try a pinch of chicken or potatoes. My 4 yr old notices mommy isn't eating what everyone else is eating so he feels the need to try everything I eat, I'm like baby mommy gets 3 oz and your trying 1 of those oz your killing me! Then today I drove my parents around shopping and they decide to get my baby a treat for being a big boy.....this was fries and shakes at mc donalds.......grrrrrrrr is all i could think smelling the fries as i sipped on my crystal light. glad to see I am not the only one with these feelings!

Thank you! Im so excited i can't wait to see results!

hey ya'll got a question and it contains some tmi....sorry! days 1-4 it was most uncomfortable to drink, last night i had my 1st bm since being sleeved, it was such a relief! today i have been drinking on some crystal light lemonade, I guess the taste is better than water to me cause I notice I am taking in more and i have not been sipping. anyone know if this is ok or are you supposed to sip always?

thanks ladies, i needed this advice!

are you ready for the big day? it's getting close!
