Timtammy ... All I can say is wow!!! The gall of someone saying it sucks to be you is just crazy. Keep your head up and ignore the jerk... Hope you aren't related.. And keep moving on to a healthier you!!

Your not fluffy honey.... You look great!!!! Congrats!!!

dont think you can drink too much water this early out. I would just sip til you cant sip no more. From what I have read about dehydration... You dont want that to happen

welcome to the boards... Glad to have you here!!!

It took about 3 weeks before I started feeling better. You have been thru quite an ordeal... I dont think I worried about anything those first few weeks except water because I didnt want to get dehydrated. Our bodies need time to adjust. I slept alot... it's what you need to heal. Plus most of us had or have enought fat to live off of for a week or so without malnutrion becoming an issue.

The other girls hit the nail on the head. I have found exercise to be of great enjoyment now... used to hate it!!! Just started swimming again after not doing so in about 20 years. We have an indoor pool in our town. Love it! As time passes the dwelling on food will cease. Good luck hun!!

Glad you still have your sense of humor girlie

So sorry Vicki... I agree with Ellie... try and look on the bright side of things. Hang in there honey

you look great!!! What a awesome smile. Your kid is a cutie!!!

Vicki... you have been such a big part of the boards for so long... so glad your day is finally here!!! Keep us posted when you can. Best wishes

melonpie... you sold me ordered unjury today...4s.. I ordered the cheese... looks hella good... I'll let you know how it tastes.

woohoo... I just was looking the other day at my weight tracker and I think I have 7 lbs to go till Im not obese but classified as overweight... Im gonna take that over morbidly obese any day!!! Heck even what my dr wants me to weigh I am still classified as overweight... go figure!!

I havent had this situation... but make sure and keep yourself in check. You might want to start measuring your food and make sure protein first as it will keep you fuller longer then any carbs will. Used to be back in the old days the cold weather would make me want to eat.. well hell who am I fooling everything made me want to eat... Just hang in there honey

What a great piece... loved the part of Reclaiming my life!!! So true... some parts made me weep because I saw myself there. Thanks for sharing

up your exercise and protein.. that's what did it for me

I have tried it... liked it right after surgery... got sick of it after 2 months. I got mine at whole foods

good job girlie!!!

Ya I have so many stalls in the 8 months since I had surgery... It will all work out. 60 g at 3 weeks is pretty awesome!! Stay strong.

No ideas just follow what the dr wants... around week 4 you will start feeling better

first of all at this stage of the game and I guess for the rest of your journey patience is key. At 3 weeks your body is still adjusting to what it has been dealt. It is very likely you are in starvation mode where your body is going to hold onto its fat for dear life. Also how much protein are you getting in... max amounts will show greater weight loss. Also are you drinking your water and getting your vitamins and exercising. If you follow protocol the weight will come off you just have to have patience.

First of all if you havent talked to your dr about what is going on I suggest that you do so. What you are describing doesnt sound normal to me.

You guys need to give your pouch time to heal. The nerve endings are all messed up.. You will start feeling the full feeling in 3-4 weeks. In the mean time only eat what the dr wants you to because you dont want to mess things up

I personally find Protein bars way too sweet

Big difference... Good job!!!

You look awesome!!!
