Well I wouldn't worry about their comments...you can always use what I say...I am exercising and eating high Protein and very little carbs. In the end, it doesnt matter what they say because people will always have comments good and bad...

Well I am a fifth grade teacher as well and the good thing is that this is a new school. I do not know any of them so this will be interesting. I have not told a soul except my husband and he is great and supportive. I didn't tell any of my family members and don't intend to do so. They are all aware that I am eating better and exercising...enough said. So far so good, no one has said anything about my portion sizes but I was never a big eater anyways...

Mine does it all the time as well...I can't wait for it to stop. It is particularly embarrasing when its just two people in the room. I am always burping too and it is uncontrollable. I hope both end really soon!

Congratulations! Keep up the good work and I am so happy for your wife as well...tell her to keep supporting you and both of you will make it to your desired goal!

Yayy for you!!

I just thought I would post about having a hard time getting my required water and protein in on the weekends. During the weekday it is easy because I am at work with prepared lunch and water bottles with crystal light. However, as soon as Saturday comes, I start out with my 40 oz of water and so far that is all I have managed to intake for the day. We won't even mention eating because I have hardly eaten anything all day. Is it just me or is weekends the hardest???

I think they judge so harshly because they don't know any better. I had my surgery on July 2nd and tried to drink a maragarita but after two or three sips I was totally gone...so needless to say I have decided to let it go...LOL! Now that did not stop my weight loss and I am still losing. I may actually be hitting a stall but I will get back on my exercise this week. Good luck and don't worry your sleeve will not fail you behind a drink...LOL!

Dr. Mirza was great and he is awesome. He follows up with his patients and makes sure you can reach him via his cell phone.

Congratulations and I am so excited for you...I am loving this new journey as well and I know in the end we will look and feel great!!!

You look great! I am sure you feel even better!

I was sleeved on July 2nd and have lost 25 pounds. I lost 6 pounds on preop.

Wow...you are doing a great job! Keep up the good work and keep the pictures coming...they are truly an inspiration!

I am the same way and I was sleeved July 2nd but drink water first and see if the hunger pains subside. I am trying to eat 3 meals a day...not any more than that...I can't eat a lot either.

Too funny...please don't leave the fat! :D

Wow you look great! The stall will pass

Try ordering it on-line. Unjury has a site and I ordered my protein from them.

I had acrylic nails (solar nails) and my toes were painted. No one said anything...

Yes you look GREAT! I hope and pray I have the same success!

Congratulations! I have just lost my first twenty pounds too and it feels great. I have some jeans that are too big and I know I need to give them away...I can't wait until all of my larger size clothes are too big. Once again, Congratulations!!!

I am trying to walk on the treadmill an hour a day at least four times a week. I have fallen off the last two weeks and only went twice. Tomorrow starts a new week so I must get started again. My doctor said that exercise really helps you to lose weight faster and of course I wanted to see results as soon as possible.

I would just stick to walking. If you walk on a treadmill increase your speed and give it a slight incline lift. I will be six weeks on Monday and can't wait to be able to do some light weight lifting. I have a doctor's appointment the following week and I need to inquire about the ability to do sit-ups...

I cooked beans in the slow cooker on last Sunday...I will be on regular diet starting Monday and I will take it slow. I have not tried any nuts, I thought they were excluded until after 8 weeks. I need to look at my diet progression book again...

I didn't have any glue either and my doctor took off the steri-strips that hadn't fell off when I saw him at 3 weeks out. He said the incisions were fine and he must have been right cause I will be six weeks on Monday and I am doing just fine...

Well congratulations on the sleeve and getting off those medications! I pray this surgery helps to get you at your desired weight and the bypass surgery will not be necessary.
