The scale finally moved down 2 lbs this morning! It also took off the 3 lbs I gained during my stall. So happy today!

I just ordered a fitbit! I can't wait for it to come in, I think it will be very motivating.

I love how my sleeve gives me lots of leftovers. Tonight I had some garlic shrimp scampi and lobster tail. Yummy!!

Can I Boycott Calcium???
disappearingme replied to armstrong1003's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thank you for explaining this! I take Lemon Creme Calcet Bites. They are delicious, it's like eating dessert. I'm going to buy some chocolate ones, too. -
One scoop of unflavored Unjury protein powder to a bottle of Frappuccino Mocha Light is not bad. Not bad at all.

I just bought some new workout pants & shirt at Fashion Bug for just $10 in a size 18/20. Very exciting!

I dreamed that I went running and it was fun. I can't wait until I'm in good enough shape to go running! Hoping to rejoin Curves Friday.

My sleeve really does not like hamburger buns! Tried one with my soy burger. Not a good decision. #wls

One month out & I've gained?
disappearingme posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had my surgery on January 17th and everything went great. I even lost 20 lbs in the first 2 weeks! My surgeon said it was impressive and was very happy with me. Shortly after I started purees (about 2 1/2 to 3 weeks in) I stalled. I knew to expect this, so I stayed calm and knew weight loss would pick back up. Well, here I am now, five weeks out tomorrow and I still haven't lost! I've actually gained 2 lbs. Please tell me this is normal and the scale will go back down soon. I've been exercising, mostly walking. I plan to join Curves next week. I'm having a little trouble eating much, I'm lucky to get in 500 calories a day and Protein shakes do not sit well in my sleeve yet. I'm working on it, though, I'm sure it'll come. Without a Protein shake, I can average 45-50 grams of protein a day of my surgeon's required 60. My NUT says to do three small meals plus 3 Protein Shakes, but I'm lucky to get 1 shake in! If I do 3 shakes, I won't eat anything else, because there just isn't room. I'm wondering if this is the cause of my stall, though. I'm getting my Vitamins and fluids in just fine. This will end soon, right? I can't believe the scale hasn't went down in over 2 weeks. So to see a 2 lb gain this morning is just shocking! I had gained 1, but this morning it had a friend. I had a Novasure Endometrial Ablation a year ago, so I don't have periods anymore. If it's my cycle, I wouldn't know, but I guess that could be an explanation. I know people say Fluid retention, but would that last 2 weeks? I felt a little backed up so I took some milk of magnesia, which helped the problem, but like I said, now I'm a pound heavier this morning... thought I would be less! -
I think my sleeve is broke - I've gained 2 lbs in the past 2 weeks and just can't lose! #wls

I have a Psi Beta meeting at school today and the advisor is serving pizza & soda. Ack! I'll just go with my water and avoid the food.

How much to drink?
disappearingme replied to dlflightgirl's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I left the hospital drinking 2 ounces every 15 minutes (dietitian recommended) and had no issues getting in my 64 oz of fluid daily. -
Lemon Calcet Bites from Celebratevitamins.com are SO much better than the nasty cherry calcium citrate lozenges from Bariatric Advantage.

Bought a pill splitter today & finally got my thiamine down without choking it back up! It's hard to swallow pills without a lot of water.
