I'm in the same boat ladies. Plicated dec 3.... Lost 4 PDs on preop ( which was only two day liquid diet) se was 199, lost 18 PDs first 2 wks, one pd ( and a bunch if inches the second two weeks) so down to 180, and have been there since. Crazy not one pound lost or gained since. I'm happy with a 19 pond loss in four weeks total but I'm nervous I'm gonna be stuck here too lol. This week I'm inna start excersizing and drinking more water I guess... Good luck to us!

I agree. I have the plication too. It is less invasive than the vsg but mimics it in the sense that the stomach size is dramatically reduced. I still chew chew, but my food choices are not limited and I am full anywhere from 1/2 to 3/4 of a cup of food depending on what I'm eating. It's like a miracle lol. Sometimes I still can't wrap my mind around how full I get on such a small amount of food!

Ok my bottles expanded in the night and fell over ad were frozen but my husband says its done that in his work truck before so now I'm determined to try again tonight lol...

Yup same here, 5000 for lb and 6500 for plication or sleeve. Good luck!

I put my bottles outside, exact same kind too lol

Lol idk ill have to try it tonight. Ill let you know;)

From me to you! Hope 2013 is great for us all!

I did too delta. And the team I've been workin for has been great. But I've met a few self payers who are wonderful people and haven't had as much direction. So I share with them as much as I can and try to support them as much as I can so we can all be successful. In the end it's up to everyone of us to make the right choices.

We all get eating plans before an after. And I bet most self payers do more research than most because we may not have local support. And I never said its ok to eat cookies and popcorn out right away. All I'm saying is that many people may truly not know the answer to these questions. If you guys can't be compassionate and support in your answers because it frustrates you maybe you should keep on scrolling and let someone else answer the question. I've seen a lot of people come down hard on iggy and others, and dislike her because of her delivery of responses and frankly it's sad because she has a lot of good info to share. People on here and in private groups begin to talk about "sleeve nazis" and how rude they are as opposed to learning from their truly inspiring an sometimes scary experiences. Like I said its just a thought...

Ya it was nerve racking, finally went in Boxing Day to make sure I didn't h e pneumonia and they gave me some good cough medicine;)

I have to say this first month has been tough but by the end of it I am so excited for what's to Come;) good luck everyone! Happy New Years!

Thanks stiff! Thing are going really well! My date was dec 3, and I've lost 23 PDs... Granted I was sick for three weeks... A bad chest cold/ strep throat! Unreal hey... So cold up here stupid weather! Anyways Monday will be four weeks and I've started soft food. Had a stall for almost two weeks but started the food am lost four pounds. So I think now that my cold is getting better ( minus the crazy coughing) I am excited for the new year to come, get some energy back and start excersizing. My clothes fit better, I'm gonna take my measurements again Monday...

I had no issues, with anything, checked my passport and I was good to go:)
