O.T.R. email me if you ever get to south Florida. I'll make you some REAL collards! I'm South Carolina born and raised!

Enjoy the sleep...you've got this!! I tell everyone this: Your NEW life awaits!

I agree!

You're good! We all were there..focus on the future, and best of luck to you!

I think that this is an instance of "right sizing" the plan to fit you. I don't think you're doing anything wrong, I think people progress at different levels. But the scale is your bellwether.

You did it! Congrats! Welcome to the club. I look forward to seeing you shrink!!

Thanks for posting this! I watched the entire thing!

PERFECT!

I eat them every single day!! I live on the Honey Smoked Turkey and Barbecue Chicken. It has a good bit of sodium but it is sooo convenient and easily digestible.

So, Capt, how many carbs do you consume per day?

Well, today is the 6 week Surgiversary of my Sleeve and the 8 week mark since I started on my pre-op diet. I can hardly believe that I am down 60 pounds. I must admit that I don't see all of them, but I do feel them. If anyone out there is doubting that the sleeve can work, please reach out to my privately. I will share with you how, in just a very short period of time it has had a profound impact on my life!

Looking Good! and no dating expert here...you don't want my advise, I assure you!

Note to self: avoid foods that appear fatty when they show up!. Thanks for sharing!

Mine, too was blood pressure. I was happily taking off of one of my bp medications.

I had the same thing. I was sleeved 8/20 and within 2 weeks I was off of 1 of my 2 blood pressure medications....I go back in 3 weeks and I hope to be reduced some more!

7 weeks ago I weighed 431 pounds...today I weight 374...you are are encouraging..I just I can encourage someone as well.

I'm Menschboy

I know! I wish i could eat it but my sleeve, Norman, is quite fickle. He doesn't like anything other than turkey and shirmp..oh I lie..this week he me add sliced deli chicken!

Normal...don't stress, eat right, get your fluids in, exercise...it'll start up...i just came off of a 12 day stall today. nothing...then this am I weight 5 pounds less...trust me...it's normal...but it will make you nutty in the head!

7 weeks with preop and 53 down, and my face is smaller, my feet are less puffy, and I see my thighs reducing. I'm lost a little in the stomach, and I pray that area loses more. Someone said your body composition changes during stalls, and we shall see. At 5 weeks post surgery I am 10 days into my first stall lol.

Miami, Florida

I'm with you! I'm 5 weeks post op and have been stalled for over a week. Down 53 pounds with preop.. so I guess 53 pounds in 7 weeks isn't horrid..I am still doing my thing and sticking with it. I also put the scale in the closet today..I think I'm getting too focused on it. I have faith in all of us!
