HalfTheWoman

Yeah when I hit a certain goal...my reward was a Gigi's cupcake...one of my all time favorites. I cut it in half and gave my hubby the other half. I took one bite and it was way too sweet...raked the frosting off and took a bite of the cake...threw it in the garbage can! I just didn't care for it...it wasn't what I expected it to be. I would rather step on the scale and see more lbs gone!

I have also donated 3 huge black garbage bags full of clothes! I am trying to only buy a few items. I bought one new pair of jeans and couldn't believe I could even get in them. I have added a pic that shows my progress!

You look amazing!

I agree with you! No one at work could tell I had lost weight and I was just like you down about 43 lbs. I bought me 2 shirts that were 2 sizes smaller than I wore before surgery...and they fit!!! I wore one to work on the next Monday and everyone was coming up to me saying...wow, how much weight have you lost. There is even this one guy who calls me Skinny Minnie (he is a hoot). It makes me feel great! This weekend I bought a pair of straight leg jeans 2 sizes smaller and didn't try them on....I told my husband that even if I couldn't wear them now I could in a few weeks..he agreed. We got home and they fit great in the waist (I was so surprised I could get them on at all) and were too big in the legs and hips. So please try a smaller size...you might have a clothes swap at your local Wellness Center or YMCA check to see! You have done amazing and I am so proud for you!!

What is NSV?

I had a stall at 3 weeks and it can be disheartening but just hang in there it will pass. Just keep with the program and it will start to come off again.

I am 7 weeks out and the only time I fee nauseated is when I take my vitamins. You should check with your surgeon.

What day were you sleeved...seems like we were done around the same time!

Awesome job! I can't wait till I am down 100 lbs. You are an inspiration to us all!

I have actually lost 32 post op... but I still don't think that is too bad!

The one I use only has 5 carbs and 120 calories. I don't do them much anymore...I try to eat my protein...when I use the whey and add milk I get way to many calories and I would rather eat my calories. So I usually just eat more tuna, eggs, chicken and cheese.

My kind of eating!!!

I had rotisseri chicken last night with Franks hotsauce and ranch dressing. I eat jalapeno and any hot spice. I am 7 weeks out today. I would be very sad if I didn't get my spices in. I am a garlicaholic! I do get heartburn but it is usually from drinking tea!

Awesome job!

I take it but I only take a half a does since surgery. I only take them occasionally. My doc said I could resume taking them after surgery.

I dont even like to look at my before pictures. It's hard to believe that I was that huge. I still have a long way to go but I have come a long way already!

I was sleeved 6/25 and have lost 54 lbs. 31lbs since surgery and I think I am a slow loser. I go for days with no loss then boom I will lose 2 lbs. I am just doing what I am suppose to do and being happy with what I have lost. Jenz you look great!

I have been the same weight for several days now..I am not really sure why! I still have 98lbs to go and that seems like alot. I am trying to not get discouraged or upset because I know eventually it will move again! I was sleeved a week after you...my original date was June 18th but I had to move it back because of happening at work. You have a slim pretty face...mine was big with a double chin...I am glad to see it going away!

I am 6 weeks post op and for the last 2 days I feel so hungry. I am doing 600 calories a day, doing my protein and drinking my water. What are you doing?

I don't smoke at all but I live with smokers. I wish you wouldn't but maybe a puff or two won't kill you!

Our stories are so similiar! I started out at 303 and at 3 weeks I had a stall and it really upset me. Then in about a week and a half I lost 2lbs...then another could of pounds. So now when the scales don't move I just wait it out. My first goal was to lose 50 lbs ..which I have reached my next goal is to get to 250 which is a pound away. My next goal is to be down to 240 by vacation and that may be just a dream but I am still shooting for it!

I really would love to swim everyday and do water aerobics but the only place that offers it is our wellness center and they are soooo expensive. Guess I could pretend in the bathtub. I walk everyday. We do a very fast mile and a half up and down hills but I HATE walking and would prefer to play basketball or anything else. I would probably like Zumba but don't want to pay a big price to go to a gym.

I don't do anything with aspertame...only Splenda or Stevia. My son gets terrible headaches and feels sick EVERY time he drinks anything with aspertame.

I take mine in the evening so if it makes me sick..I won't want a snack before bed...lol!!!
