Surgery Day 9/10/12 :263 Todays Date 10/21/12: fluctuates between 240-244 so down about 23ish pounds. now a big stall UGH!

Well hello Michelle!

Jakat! Okay just was wondering if you were the guy I met. Sorry if I got too personal! but now I gotta get that unjury cheese sauce.. mmm haha and yes I had the problem where I got something hotter than 130 degrees and omg it was HORRID I made my boyfriend eat it.. He's my garbage disposal lol He's not a picky eater so he'll eat anything haha and yes Skyline chili has been my staple because I'm such a picky eater so I was eating like crap during this phase. but tomorrow chicken and steamed veggies for me! mmm ( sorry not trying to rub it in promise!!) But I have noticed I like a little more than half a cup of food. I hope i'm not stretching out my sleeve eek!

OMG tomorrow is soft food Steph!! I'm sooo excited lol! I called Erin and she said around week 3/4 that is a normal stall time and I'm stalled right now. I'm around 242 now depending on the day! and I hear you My clothes are fitting so nicely now! My friend who her and I are around the same size except she's six foot and i'm almost 5'9 and she saw me after a month and was like where are you going? where's your Pooch ( it's what we call our guts lol) and she was like I don't approve hahaha and I'm going grocery shopping tomorrow to get all the healthy food becasue I was really unhealthy during the pureed stage and now I get meat fish and veggies and I ordered and elliptical that should be coming around early next week (hopefully sooner) so I'm ready to do this now! the first month is so hard! like whoa! hahaha God.. I'm so excited for tomorrow..

I totally understand! I was sleeved 9/10 went from 263 to 242ish (depending on the day... I really need to quit weighing myself everyday) and I'm in the stalling stage. My nutritionist said that it's normal around this time to stall. I too have slipped in chips and crackers.. and those are my weakness foods and I just need to get rid of them for good.. But tomorrow I start the soft foods and I feel like I'll have more healthy options to start on and get my weight loss back up. and I ordered and elliptical that should be coming next week sometime. And I'm still struggling to get in my daily protein and dealing with hunger. But it is not too bad. I hope all goes well and don't give up! Hang in there! ( and now I need to protein shake to try and stop some hairloss UGH!)

Haha Steph!! I hear that. watching food channels is a no no right now for me.. haha only 6 more days of puree! but who is counting.. hehe and I'm glad your hubby is super hubby in taking care of business at home!! that is always a blessing! I'm glad to hear everyone is doing so well after surgery!! random question jakat.. Are you married? because I met a guy who was getting sleeved on the 24th of september and his wife got sleeved the same day I did on september 10th.. just wondering if that is you.. if not MY BAD Lynn! did you get your egd yet?? HOpe all is going smoothly in your process!! Hope to hear from y'all soon! Rach

The EGD is a piece of cake lynn! So it's all good! So don't be nervous I have my month check up next wednesday and I'm excited about that! I hope to drop a little more weight by then so i can get a good " report card" lol And jakat is the unjury cheese sauce that good? because I was eyeballing it and debating if I should get it.. but seeing that you said it is good.. I might just have to order me some! Yum yum! only 8 more days of pureed.. Hope y'all keep on losing!

Jakat My bad! I'm just so used to saying chicaa But I'm glad that you are doing well! I have another week of the pureed food then I get to go onto soft foods. Are you talking about your belly button incision? That was my last one to feel "normal" he said that is the one that gets the most pain because that is where they pull your stomach out of. but yes the liquid diet was terrible! soft foods is a lot better, but I'm excited for soft foods because I'm sooo picky! so all i've been eating is like chili yogurt and pudding lol I see you've lost 29lbs! congrats! Rach

OH if I looked and read I would see that I'm already on a ppi LOL mybad!

I hear you! I'm almost 3 weeks out and still having cravings and hunger. I'm taking a doc prescribed prilosec 40 mg a day and trying to get my protein in. I still think a lot of it is head hunger and i'm having very specific cravings. and what is a PPI If i can ask? becasue I might just need to start doing that lol Thanks all for the good info on this post!

Oh and thank you btw steph about my picture! ( I had to do 2 head shots for the school I'm going to and I took that right in front of my bathroom shower curtain lol! ) Y'all are making me blushhh :wub:

Jakat! just wanna say i'm thinking of you and I hope you are healing well! let us know how you're doing chica! Rach

Hey steph! I am in the same boat as you 1. with the hunger, and 2. it's sooo hard to sip, I used to drink like a gallon plus a day and now i'm just sipping.. so hard.. haha but i'm in pureed right now and it's hard because I'm an extremely picky eater.. so i'm eating skyline chili ( erin said it's okay to eat that ) my dads chili blended up, lots of yogurt and pudding.. ( but I have been bad and I have eaten a couple things I shouldn't have.. ) But I'm excited about the soft foods because there is a lot of healthy stuff on there that I really like so I'm just pushing through this til october 10th. And I'm at a stall right now. I think it is because I'm not getting all my fluids and protein in and I haven't started exercising yet. and i'm weighing myself everyday.. don't do it! lol We should meet up sometime! and the first post op visit, Dr Curry comes in wants to see the "battle wounds" lol a weigh in and you talk to the nutritionist. It's easy peasy! and congrats on the weight loss!!! That's exciting! HOpe to hear from you soon! Rachel

Lol girl I hear you about the "chins" I still have my chins darlin'! lol and thank you you're making me blush! hahaha But I notice I do have more energy now.. I will say my hunger has still not gone away though. I want regular food alll the time but now like I used to ya know? and I get full a lottttt quicker and I'm having a mini stall right now but i'm okay with that becaue I still don't have to take the meds I used to have to take! and **** lady! I'll go out with ya lol ( I'm not single but still sounds fun hahaha)
