Awwwwwwwwwww...thanks everyone!!!!!!!! Kcage....I eat a lot of chicken...fish...and 93% lean 7% fat hamburger meat. For Breakfast I mainly eat dry frosted flakes only about a cup if that. But when I do eat I get so full so fast!!!!! I was sleeved on March 30th.

I am down 33lbs as of this week and I am starting to REALLY see my NEW ME!!!! If you are a beginner and down and out about your slow weight loss....DON'T BE!!! Once I got over the "special diet" 6 weeks my weight started melting off. I still eat healthy and I am TRYING to exercise as much as possible!!! Losing slowly ain't bad at ALL!!!! I haven't been on here as much since the Sleeve Group was started on Facebbook...I AM IN LOVE WITH MY SLEEVE!! LOL!!!

How do you post your "Before and After" pics on your profile?

I was approved through BCBS as well, but I had to do 6 months of nutritional dr. visits. I went through allllllllll I was supposed to only to get approved for $5000 LIFE MAX!!! I still would of had to come up with $6000 out of pocket. Well my job changed to United Healtchare in Jan 2011 and I didn't have to show them anything but my approval from BCBS and they approved me in no time...covered at 100% with no max!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Make sure you get specifics from you insurance carrier. Just a lil' FYI!!!

This is some GOOOOOOOOOOOD inspiration!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks crosswind!!!!!!!!

This is a very informative site concerning stalls!!!!!!! I feel soooo much better now that I have read this. I have been stalled about 3 weeks now and I am 4 weeks post op. I feel so much better after reading this!! Check it out!! http://www.dsfacts.c...or-plateau.html

I am 4 weeks out and have been in a stall since about the 2nd week!!!!!!!!!! I was soooo down about it.

OMG!!! This was soooooooooooooooo informative!!! I am going to start this in a forum to inform everyone!!! THANKSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!

Great job!!!!!!! Such an encouraging post!!!!!

I really appreciate the NON-JUDGING comments guys!!! I have really been agonizing over the cereal thing. I can't throw them out or stop buying them because it is the only NON-SOY cereal my son can have. He is allergic to soy. So I have to FIGHT the urge BIG TIME!!!! I am back at work for the first time since my surgery today and THERE IS NO FROSTED FLAKES HERE!!! LOL!!!

Same here!! 3 weeks post op....down 13lb since surgery and 17lbs all together. I am kinda depressed about it, but I refuse to let it consume me....I CAN'T!!!!!! Thank GOD for this site!!!!!

Ok ok...I am 3 weeks post op and for the last week or so I have had Frosted Flakes at least twice per day!!! DRY AND WITH MILK!!!! SMH!! I am sooooo disappointed in myself! I think I am depressed that I've only lost 13 pounds since my surgery. I have made up in my mind starting TOMORROW the pity party STOPS!!!

I am 3 weeks post op and I have the same problem. I still go every morning, but during the day, I may go once or twice and that's it.
