I totally regret it. I lost 10 pounds in the 1st week, nothing since then. I miss food, I miss eating. I am at a notre dame football party & I want to have a good time, but I can't without food. I have some sort of roadblock to change..people say "oh I don't crave food" I still do. "oh I don't care about eating." I still do. I wish I never would have done this. Sleeved 12/20 and wish I was back where I started.

Utah is the worst. It has more fast food restaurants per capita than any other state which is awful. As a busy nursing student & mom sometimes it can be so hard to eat healthy on the go!

I am 4 months out & my weight loss has slowed downvin a big way. I searched the threads for this but wasnt really finding what I need. How many cals is everyone eating a day? I was 253 starting weight and now at 192 and totally stalled. This is a typical day for me: Breakfast: 1/2 c cottage cheese, premiere Protein shake. Lunch: 2 emily bites cupcakes ofbone flavor or another. Afternoon: beef jerkey or cheese for snack, maybe greek yogurt. dinner is usually chicken or fish. Some days I end up snacking. Most days I am right around 1200 cals which seems like too many? I can easily do more than that if I don't track though. My nut isn't super helpful so what do you guys think I can do or change?

I am wondering if anyone has an experience with Dr. Eric volckmann at university of Utah. I am currently trying to decide between him & another surgeon. Thanks in advance!

Yep, I am in salt lake. 8 weeks post op today & down 42 pounds including pre op diet.

Oops sorry I wasn't on one until 4 weeks post op.

I would suggest taking it. I was on one until 4 weeks post op, & now 8 weeks post op I've got an ulcer. I wouldn't chance it. I never had reflux either. Not once.

So I am almost 8 weeks out, and at my appointment this last week I found out I probably have an ulcer. Dr. Is 90% sure that I have one. So I am now on ulcer Meds, which are helping so obviously I do. Anyone else had this happen? Nothing that I eat causes pain or upsets my stomach, but liquid anything still does (water, Protein shakes etc). Because of this my weight loss has been on the slower side, judging by what I have seen here in the past few years researching. Also looking at others who had surgery at the same time, I am losing slower. I am okay with that, but I know that if I could get all my liquids & protein in I would be helping out the cause. Any recos on what I can do to speed it up with an ulcer?? Surgery date 12-20 Pro op diet loss 14 Post op loss 24 Beginning weight 253 Current weight 213 Liquids about 30/40 oz a day Protein 50-70 a day. Carbs about 50 a day To those of you who have had ulcers or who are a ways into this... What high protein foods went down easiest? I need sort of bland stuff to let my ulcer heal. I've done lots of cottage cheese, string cheese, cupcake bites, Protein Bars, Protein Shakes, Greek yogurt. Some of it is getting old.

So Water and liquid just sit really uncomfortably. Like literally it hurts and makes it feel like I have air bloating my sleeve. About an hour after I eat, maybe two, I am seriously hungry like I could eat a whole cow. Sometimes I am sick to my stomach, but it is mainly just a painful hunger feeling. I have no choice but to eat something, and then I feel better. It's slowly going away with the Meds.

Are dirty pictures allowed, otr? I'll show you mine if you show me yours!

I have had pcos for 13 years, and never got periods on my own. Did 2 years infertility treatments before getting pregnant finally. Since surgery 6 weeks ago I have had 2 perfectly timed periods and I ovulated on my own in between. My hair growth is mainly on my face, and I've noticed that getting better. It grows slower. Hopefully it will keep getting better....the weight hasn't been coming off super quick for me, I've lost 32 total, 14 preop & the rest in 6 weeks since surgery...I hate pcos!

Ooooh yeah. easier orgasms, more orgasms, more natural lube, better positions...and horny as hell!

Today my niece told me I couldn't wear the jeans I was wearing anymore, because they were falling off. I put a tighter pair on, and while I was walking with my hands full my pants fell down, literally last my bum. Good nsv.

It's so hard to know what it was! I almost get scared to get new foods unless I am at home for a period of time after.

Geez its like I don't speak English. Sort, autocorrect kills me sometimes.

You look great!! I have not tried cherry cause I'm not a ferry fan, but I did have issues the first couple of times I ate chobani tight after surgery. I am 4 weeks out now and seem to do okay with it.

Here is the box I use, it was 7 dollars for a pack of 4 and its turned out great! It even has measurements ob the sides. [ATTACH]8206[/ATTACH]

Good luck this semester, I started back today too My school has microwaves, so this weekend I made a bunch of cupcake recipes and I have a little tiny lunch box that's fits 2 perfectly, and it has a little ice pack in the lid, its awesome so I do that. I throw a string cheese in, and I am good, but you could do cottage cheese & fruit, egg salad, tuna salad, etc. I love the little box because I can't be lifting a lunch box around all day on campus.

I have one & have used it a few places. Rodizio grill let me use it for 7.00 what a steal!
