Frustration! Weigh in - 234.

Yeah, I forgot too..... Last week 239 This week 235 Also, I just got great news back! I am no longer pre-diabetic!!!! WAHOO! All my numbers are fabulous, and my doctors are glowing at how great I'm doing health wise. 58 more pounds to go! :wub:

I know its a shake, but maybe a shake? You can sip on it and stay hydrated too. Have you tried cheese sticks? I know some folks can have those during the pureed/soft food stage.

Looking A-mazing!!

Your doctor, generally your Ob-Gyn, but your regular doctor can do it too... needs to do a blood panel. They will check your various hormone levels, and your glucose levels. There are symptoms that you might see, such as absent or really irregular periods, hair growth on the face, chest or stomach, adult acne, exhaustion for really no reason, mood swings (more than normal), depression... and the list goes on. There is tons of great sites with information about PCOS. I really like all the information that insulite labs has on their website. I don't use their products or methods they sell, but found their site to be full of some of the most useful information out there for PCOS suffers. http://pcos.insulitelabs.com/PCOS-Self-Test.php

Totally agree with what BenisaMartim4 said! Also, walking will help and making sure you're actually eating enough. My doc said that during the liquid to puree stages sometimes we're not taking in enough calories and protien and as soon as you increase your calories the weight starts to fall off again. I had a stall for 3 weeks, O_O!! Mine finally broke when I started exercising more. I think we're all different. Good luck, stay strong!!

Yes! I just started selling my things on eBay. I price things according to the item, most of my stuff is garage sell priced since it is 'gently used.' And to me, thats what eBay is supposed to be... America's internet garage sale.

Looking good!

Found a few things I'm interested in... sending you a message now!

For sure not having to negotiate fitting in boths at resturants, the fact that this was an issue before was a huge motivator for me in the first place. Also, clothes falling off because they're too big! Currently, anything in my closet fits either perfectly or too large, this makes getting dressed in the morning so much easier!

Woo! I have most of those items at home right now. I'll have to try that this week!

I have PCOS... and I can tell one big improvement, I'm not longer exhausted for no reason. Next Tuesday I'll be heading to my OB-gyn for the first time post surgery, she's the reason I started down this sleeve path in the first place, so I can't wait to see her and at 50 pounds lighter! I'm hoping she tells me all signs of PCOS are gone... I'm do a backflip out of her office!

HA!

Yeah... you certainly did handle that situation better than me too. I would have had something smart alecy to say to her. Really, sometimes people should just mind their own busniess.

WHOA! You look amazing! Congratulations on your inspiring success! I hope I get to post pictures just like these in 2 years time.

Weight before surgery 286 Date of surgery 6/27/12 Current weight 236 Goal weight for competition 204 Here goes! Good luck everyone!!

There is the single incision spider version of the sleeve where they go in through the belly button... its possible all these celebs when that route.

Once I could handle it, I had egg, chicken, or tuna salad... just put it in the food processor. refriend pinto or black beans with a dollup of plain greek yogurt (is just like sour cream, only better for you), and some melted cheese. I had laughing cow cheese wedges, and made the famous ricotta bake you see others talking about in this sight.

I was the same as some of these folks. Walking is ok for now. I didn't get cleared for gym workouts until 6 weeks out.

HAHA! This is funny. My boyfriend and I play a game sometimes, usually happens on long car rides, where we come up with weird combinations of things. Plastic wrap, duct tape, baby powder, and swim goggles....
