Forgot to do this Monday, so here it goes. ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!!!!!!

Just checking in. How is everyone's new year going? I am in the 180's. Mine is good so far. Staying on track, we'll mostly. I have been sick for the past week so not much working out. Hopefully I will start in a couple of days. Hope you all are doing well.

Shakti, you can do it. We are all here for you. You will have ups and downs but just refocus and turn to your support team. That's why we are here. It helps me a lot.

I hope all of you have a very successful year. I too am going to take care of myself and know that it is ok to take care of my self and that I can be happy. Love all of your support.

Roll Tide Roll! !!

Chrys stay strong we are all here for you. Amanda my parents are still living in Alabama. They are in enterprise. They are having so much flooding now too. I did not realize you up north was getting as much rain. It seems like every day they are under a tornado watch. I was there when the tornado in 2007 went through and took our only high school. It took 3 years to build a new one. The weather is so unpredictable. Hope you stay safe.

Good luck chrys. If you don't get it this week next week for sure. I am almost out of the 190's. I can't believe that. Like you, I let me self enjoy my 2 week Christmas vacation and still lost almost 6 pounds. I love my new tummy too. Best Christmas present ever. I hope everyone had a great Christmas.

Sounds great. I am going to try it. Thanks for sharing. I hope everyone has a great Christmas too.

Thanks so much for all the info. It is such a big help.

Thanks for all your answers. I am going to rely on all of you (my sleeve family ) ????

When you get an answer please share. Does everyone still have to have follow up appointment still? I went for my 8 week post op on Friday and my doctor told me that was my last appointment unless I have any problems. I was expecting many more,maybe because with the lap band I was always going for adjustment.

Does anyone have a list of the daily nutritional amounts we should stay at. Like I know my protein is 80 grams a day. I am looking for carbs & sugar & fat, maybe fiber too.

Had my 8 week post op check yesterday. Lost 27.7 lbs in 8 weeks???????? so happy. The lap band revision to sleeve surgery was the best choice. I feel so much better. I am in the onederlands.

Congrats. ???????? so happy for you. I go to the doctor on Friday for my 8 week post op. I am hoping he will give me some ideas on what to do with my slow weight loss.

Roll Tide Roll. All the way.

I tried not getting on the scale but I go crazy. I am on it every day. I need to know. Even if it is only o.1 pounds. It's something in the right direction ☺

I am getting around 500 to 650 a day. I work out everyday. I alternate between my elliptical and a workout video called the x factor. It is the same as ps90 or whatever it's called ???? I am down 31 pounds since oct. 9. I was in a stall for 2 weeks. I still need to work on my water. It is soooo hard to drink water. I need something with flavor. Does anyone know if drinking crystal light will count toward the water intake?

We are in los angeles now. But I sure do miss bama. Our son moved back last year. He hates it here. He says there's to many people here. I guess when you come from a town of 20 thousand to a town that has like 14 million, there are too many people here.????

So this auto correct drives me crazy. It is suppose to say Amanda not A mandatory. ????

A mandatory where in Alabama are you from. I spent 12 years in enterprise. Roll Tide Roll

Over 30 years. Awesome. You don't look like your old enough to be with someone for that long. You look great.

I try to drink a protein shake. But I get 2 sips down and I am done. I am really going to focus on my water more. I am better today I was able to get into an outfit I have not been in in about a year. So I know progress is happening.

Let us know how you did on your run.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Hi guys. I hope everyone has a great turkey day tomorrow. Sorry it's been a while. I have been pretty down on my self the last couple of weeks. Friday will be 7 week post op. I have been at a stall for about 2 weeks now. I saw my doctor last week. I am just so confused right now. Everyone I talk to or follow say to eat 3 times a day and get your protein in. Don't forget the water. I measure out all my food 2 oz. I still have not finished the whole 2 oz. Yet. But I only eat 2 times a day sometimes I only eat once a day. I try but I am not hungry. I will take 1 bite and feel totally full. My doctor said if your not hungry don't eat. Even if it is only one time a day. I work out everyday. I do know that I do not get all my water in ever. Does the water make that much of a difference? Don't get me wrong I am happy with the surgery and the 22.7 pounds I have lost, but it just doesn't seem like that's a good number considering what I am doing. I don't really have a NUT because I went through a 1800 # not a doctor office per say. I had no classes before. So if anyone has any helpful tid bits, I would love to hear them. Sorry this is so long.
