Mine was one day too, but someone recently posted it took theirs 2 weeks.

You look radiant!!!

Yeah when I told my NUT I could eat 2 eggs she almost spased out! I try to stick to whites, but I can eat 2 eggs, but I would not eat anything else with that. I think I can eat more than most and it worries me!

Seems like we are losing at the same pace! Slow!!!

You look great!

Great video! Thanks for sharing.

That is awesome!!!!!

Amy, wishing you well and a speedy recovery pronto!

Hot Mama!

I have been getting massage since 1 month post op no issues.

I was sleeved 10/1 and down 45lbs. I am a slow looser and learning to except that. I work out 4-5 days a week and try to track what I eat even though my Nut doesn't want me to. I tolerate everything including sweets. I am in a stage now that I don't like meat or fish very much and I am learning to deal with that. I have been enjoying more beans and I eat a ton of eggs. I have another 55lbs to lose and it probably will take the whole year of not longer. I know my resting heart rate has improved and my heart rates during workouts are not off the charts. I am not perfect and some days are better than others. We are moving from Latin America to Virginia in a few months so my stress level will increase. I just try to take each day and not beat myself up.

Yeah never thought about becoming a vegetarian. I will look at some high Protein dish ideas. I don't like fish right now either. I have been tolerating fine. It is the taste that I am not liking. I can tolerate everything I have tried. I am just wondering if anyone else has gone through this at 6 month mark.

I don't have a problem digesting, I just am don't like it. I have only thrown up once eating shrimp and that was early on. I have only had slimmies twice early on. I learned quick on how to eat because it was not a nice feeling. But not liking the taste is a new experience for me.

I am almost 6 months out and 45 lbs down almost half way to goal but is has been a fight. Celebrate your accomplishments! If I compared myself to people on the forum I would be ready to jump off the nearest bridge. Since I am a slow loser exercise is essential for me. In the long run my body will be more conditioned and stronger for it. For that I am thankful because if it wasn't for the slow losses I may just give up exercise all together! You are doing fabulous!!!! Congratulations!

Yep BCBS FEDS is quick. I got my approval in a day! And they had to translate all my information. Congratulations.

Has anyone gained water weight while taking OTC's? Last week was a weird week. I got really sick (cold) and was on my cycle. I gained 7lbs. I knew it could not be right. Granted I had not worked out since last Thursday, but knew there was NO way I could gain 7lbs! I dropped 4 of those lbs yesterday. I am still suffering with congestion, but feel much better. Has anyone else experienced anything like this? I go to Drs 1st week of April and will talk to him about it then as well. I was actually drinking more water to help flush out the cold and eating less. I knew I was not flushing because my urinating was not the greatest.

I felt the same way! I felt like crap and was like whatever! Then the 4 lbs dropped, but just trying to figure it all out. I still feel like this sleeve is a guessing game.

Okay! I was beginning to think I was weird! Can OTCs really make a person gain that much Water weight?

No one! I am the only one that gets sick and retains water!!!

Bump!

Thank goodness they found them! Get well soon!!!

My doc used a 34. Sometimes I feel like I don't have enough restriction. I can eat and drink normally. I am also almost 6 months out. I also think I under eat my sleeve another reason I may never feel the tightness. I am scared of barfing... I must admit I am tired of chicken and get full on about 3oz.

My goal is 200 by mid June

You look fantastic! Congratulations!!!!

I don't know if what I am experiencing are really stalls. I lost my first 30lbs the first 7 weeks post op and now I am down 45-48lbs (menstrual week gained 3) and I am almost 6 months out. It is a bit frustrating to say the least. I have not found that working out is making it easier either. I am just going with the flow. My body is comfortable in the 220s that has been my weight most of my adult life. I think once I get past this point I may make some headway.
