Thats awesome! Im so looking forward to that day.

I used to cld wear them but havent been able to for several years. Im also looking forward to it.

Your welcome. Its suppose to be a recipe sharing thread & I always see people giving links lol. i want the recipe lol.

Your welcome. I have found lots. Im in a place of bordem with my food & tired of it & in need of some diff recipes.

And on a stall you're probably losing inches.

I hv never heard of that before. Did he not explain why? Interesting.

My surgery was July 16th & i hv lost weight in my feet. My shoes are loose! I had a pair of shoes tht were tight & hurt to wear but now I can wear them fine w no pain. So Yes your feet can loose weight.

I get mine at Walmart. You shld be able to get them at just about any grocery store. I still have them in the evenings.

Have you tried baked fish? I did very well with that.

I was sleeved on July 16 & still hv problems drinking fluids. I do real good with meats but still hv prob w a lot of food. Today I tried to drink Crystal light, very tasty. I brought tht to wrk today & only that, Big mistake. From my chest dwn to pouch, i hv hurt all day...just like I hurt after surgery when I first started eating. It wld be a miracle if I got 8oz of fluid in by the time i got off wrk. I hurt everytime I took a drink today. Its strange! But I know it will get better & so will you guys. Have you guys tried SF jello or popsicles? Lowfat yogurt?

You guys are upset after losong 40 lbs & 30lbs in 6 weeks? My surgery was July 16th & Im at 31.9 loss but I hv lost a lot of inches & very pleased with it. Of course Id love to loose a bit quicker but its not happening. I thk its awesome you hv both lost so much in 6wks. It will come off.

What is a good calorie intake daily? I hv alao enjoyed this post very much...learning.

My surgery was July 16 & you hv lost more than me. I am losing slow & feel that it has a lot to do with Fluid intake. I just cant get the liquids down but im losing. The last I measured I had lost around 25 inches, so Im losing lol. Its good that your losing. Thats a plus! I hv done the same thing...compare myself & that can be very frustrating. So try not to do that everyones body is diff & everyone will lose differently. What I hv been doing is comparing what I've lost now & calculating what I will hv lost in 4mo, 6mo, 8mo and that Excites me.

Yes Happy Camper I am. I will sure try that, thank you so much. I've been drinking lemon lime gatorade. I found I can drink that but I still dont drink enough. Last week on Sunday night, i bought 3--32oz of gatorade & i was still drinking in that Friday. If that tells you how much I drink. A few nights I was able to get maybe 8oz of water dwn (coffeee cup size). Its strange. Not sure why liquids are so hard. Im losing weight, just not as fast prob as others & i dont cheat. I stay anywhere from 300+ to 600 calories daily.

Yesterday I had Lunch: 2 slices chipolte chicken breast lunch meat & 50% reduced fat cheese (not even an ounce) Dinner: 1 3/4 pc of jennie-o Turkey bacon & 1/2 scrambled egg Snack: 1 sugar free popsicle A few pc of canadian bacon & a few pc of cheese.

How far out are you? I know I felt the same way at times. Wondering if I ate too much but I hadnt. Some days i eat more than others. Is there a particular reason you are feeling this way? You will lose weight. It takes time to extend your pouch

I had charlie horses, took some potassium & drank some gatorade & they got better. I also hv a very hard time drinking water but discovered i cld drink lemon lime gatorade so im getting more fluids in that way.

My surgery was over two hours long. Not sure about recovery time. My doctor not only cut the stomach out but stapled it & sewed the stomach to ensure no leaks. So maybe thts why it's longer not sure.
