Thanks for the reminder. I need to get mine checked.

I used to be a beer drinker before the lapband. They told us not to drink for the first year. So I didnt. I basically quit drinking for several years. I tried to drink some beer for New Years this year before I got the sleeve. It tasted nasty. I couldnt do it. I drank coke zero instead. I may try vodka & cranberry juice if a very special occasion comes up but, I'm better off without it and much healthier.

I had surgery in Dallas. The doctor took the drain out on 2nd before I left the hospital.

Weight before sleeve 211 lbs Current weight 184 lb s How long sleeved: 2 months. Loss so far: 27

I think I had one while I was still in the hospital. I can't remember if it was before or after the surgrey. It is weird how different do things. I'm glad I didn't have to inject myself.

I love the tropical sf pops.

Congrats!

Sorry to hear that Big Man. I agree with Neese. Try to include your wife with healthy eating and exercise. My husband has lost 16 lbs without trying. He's eating better since I'm cooking healthier food. I'm discovered the cook has the power!!! ha, ha. Try to be sensitive to her feelings but enjoy your success.

My husband has lost about 16 lbs since I've starting eating / cooking better. He's 14 lbs from goal without even trying or exercising.

I've been kinda down about my slow weightloss but, I just realized in 4 more lbs I will have lost 30 lbs and that seems like a lot to me. 6 more lbs and I will no longer be obese and in (drum roll please) 7 more lbs I will be halfway to my goal! Yay! Not there yet but, I'm getting there.

sf fudge popsicles? Sometimes I have sf hot chocolate. It has 25 cals.

I'm about 7.5 wks out. I've lost 16 since surgery. I'm a slow loser too. I DO realize I started out at a lower BMI. Momof4- yes you must check it out. I realized today though, that in 4 more lbs, I will have lost 30 lbs since pre-op diet and that seems like a lot to me. 6 more lbs and I won't be obese anymore. 7 more lbs and I'll be half way to goal!!!! It's slow but we're getting there! There should be a slow losers section. We can help motivate each other.

Yes, sometimes I can't see the forest for the trees. So, for now the realization I'm close to these milestones IS my NSV and when I reach them it will be a SV. Thanks everybody. Love this group.

I had surgery a few,days after you. You're doing alot better than me and I am exercising daily. It's been really slow.

Longer Life, I will be praying for you too. I hope you continue to improve and recover. I'm curious who you doctor is too. Let us know how you're doing.

You look great! Congrats!

You look beautiful! Thanks for posting.

On my hospital info it said no fresh coconut for gastric bypass patients.

How are you doing? Did you see a doctor?

Mr. Worm, what kind of vitamins have you been taking?

Congrats Bama! Very inspirational. Keep it up!

Anyone using Ketone ufind test strips to check to see if burning fat? I thought it might cheer me up when the scale is not moving.
