My goal for labor day was 225 started this challenge at 262.5 left the hospital in 06/04/12 weighing in at 310 weighed in this morning at 239. I am going to shoot for a revised goal of 235 by labor day gonna really kick it into high gear this week joined the YMCA yesterday super stoked I love my sleeve! Congrats to all!

Congrats beautiful!

Congrats! Looking awesome!

Absolutely! This describes me as well!! My energy is thru the roof and I am a total fitness fanatic now I can't stand to miss my daily walks or gym session! My kids are like wth Mom because I am making them get off the video games and ride bikes with me around the neighborhood or play badminton with me in the yard lol!!! I figure if I can do it so can they and exercise never hurt anybody! Also I used to hate people like me too I used to say no one can enjoy running/working out that much! Now I understand! I positively love my sleeve!

Still seems pretty good though even if you just did one scoop.

For me this has been the hardest part since having surgery! I know I do not chew as much as I should and when I don't my sleeve lets everyone know about it!! Loud rumbling and gurgling no pain though just feels strange.

I have read that it is the nerves and muscles healing and knitting back together but I don't know. It does get better though!

I have no advice to give you but I am terribly sorry you are facing this hurdle. many good thoughts heading your way.

As of today I am down to 245 don't think I'll make it to my 225 but I'm going to keep on keeping on!

I have been feeling bummed recently. Not meeting water/ protein goals slacking on my exercise ect. I also felt like I wasn't losing fast enough because of these things then I decided to do the math. I am 72 days out from surgery and 65 lbs down! That is awesome in my eyes and it was just the lift I needed to refocus and say I CAN do this!! So if your feeling bummed to the days to lbs math!!

I am 9 weeks out and have lost 55 lbs so an average of 6 lbs a week. I know that's a pretty good number but somehow I thought it would be faster than this....sigh but I will keep on keeping on!

If you don't have one already buy a good quality blender I use a ninja or a snow cone maker grind up ice until its "snow" I can eat this all day really hits the spot when I'm tired of flavors but I have a hard time choking plain water down.

I would like some that are tasty, easy and family friendly!

I can't handle crystal light so I make regular kool aid with Splenda my pitcher is exactly 64 oz so it's a good way to keep track of my intake too!

My doc recommended biotein worked like a charm!

I gagged too! Was so glad it was just a sample pack from my doctors office.

As of today I am down to 257. I am reconsidering my challenge goal weight. I think I may have set it to high hmmm guess we'll just wait and see!

Dr.Blaine Nease Huntington,WV starting weight 291 no pre op diet left the hospital at 310! Beginning bmi 50 current bmi 44 I am down to 259. I was sleeve June 4th.

I'm in love with Kale chips and they're so easy ti make! Yummy!

Awesome this is one of my goals as well!

I was able to go swimming at 2 weeks out but I had to cover my incisions with tegaderm. It is a clear thin waterproof plastic that doesn't stick to wounds worked great!

I read on here people raving how fab it is and I honestly have tried to like it. I just can't! Maybe someone on here will have some ideas on how to spruce it up!

I still have my size 27 waist guess jeans hanging I my closet!! Lol worse part is I remember feeling fat when I wore them cause I was a size 6/7 and all my friends were 2's!

I always find it funny how doctors differ on instructions! I had a drain for a week post op on my discharge papers it said to make sure to shower daily and wash around the drain sight thouroghly with antibacterial soap! Crazy! Lol

If you have a bojangles they have roasted chicken bites that are delish! Usually lasts me 2 sometimes 3 meals and it's only 3 dollars and some change.
