  1. Not trying to negate what you are dealing with but almost EVERYONE feels this way at some point during this process. If I was a betting woman I would bet you a million bucks that you won't stay 256lbs. You knew you wouldn't go from 280 to goal in 2 months. Your weight loss sounds awesome so far. Stay strong and don't be discouraged; around here you're in the "normal" group.
  2. I can drink to my hearts content. It gets much easier so enjoy that tight restriction while you have it! I love my the sleeve and what it's done for me. I feel how I always assumed "normal" people are when it comes to food intake.
  3. First pics are from the night before surgery 3/12/12 and the middle pics are from August I believe, and the 3rd pics are from last week. 260lbs-182 lbs so far!
  4. 182.8 today, but we had our Thanksgiving dinner with my family today so we'll see what the scale says tomorrow :-/ I'm tentatively 2.8 lbs away from Thursday's goal.
  5. I have a friend that I saw in July after I lost about 35 lbs and she looked shocked when I told her I had WLS she couldn't really tell. I saw that same friend yesterday and I'm down 75 lbs and she was shocked that in looking so small so it happens at different rates for everyone I guess.
  6. Thank you for posting your stats! Your amazing! Happy losing!
  7. Wasn't sure where it was most appropriate to share this but I'm so excited I had to tell someone. I realized I can see my va j-j for the first time in many years while I was shaving in the shower today! Don't mean to gross folks out but this is a most awesome and unexpected non scale victory forme!!!
  8. Get it girl! What are your stats if you don't mind me asking?

    Wasn't Sure Where To Post But...

    I knew you ladies would understand!
  10. I weighed in at 185lbs this morning. So, I finally made my Halloween goal lol! Now I'm trying to get to 180 by Thanksgiving.
  11. Pre-op 260 Challenge start 188 Thanksgiving goal 180 Here goes nothing. I've been all over the place and not following the plan. Mentally I need this challenge to get back on track. Protein first and maybe only for a while and fluids!!! Good luck everyone.
  12. I am 188 so I didn't make goal but I did lose 10lbs. Bittersweet I guess. On to the next challenge!

    Is This The Norm?

    And everyone heals differently. I had to learn to be patient and I still suck at it. But some days I can eat some things and eat a lot. Other days like today I have had 3 cheese crackers and I have not been able to eat anything else. Best of luck! Happy losing!

    Gurgling?

    I still gurgle when I eat nuts and carbs.
  15. I use the gummi vitamins an gummi vit d. I know gummi isn't the best choice but its either gummi or no vitamins at all for me.

    Is This The Norm?

    That sounds about right. I wasn't doing any meats until 2 months out. At 5 weeks I was doing full liquids (puddings, soups, mashed potatoes )

    Handeling Stress?

    I cried everyday for 2 weeks once I realized I couldn't eat for comfort. It got easier for me and in a way it was a retraining of my mind and now I may drink a glass of water or close my door and rest and usually that helps.
