I am almost 3 months out and experiencing that even now! Popsicles and veggies are my friend!!

Excuse the typos.... Stupid phone! Lol

Had surgery Oct 17th an Im FREEZING all of the time!

Okay, so I usually don't rant and rave about anything, but I am at a stall and HOT about it! This morning I weighed myself and actually caught my self looking at the scale with a horribly mean look (yea, that changed the numbers) Ok so granted, I grazed a little during the holidays and ate some stuff I shouldn't but, I lost the little weight I put on in two days. Hey what's the friggin deal here? I am 77 days out and down 44 pounds. I feel like it should be SO much more. I started this journey at 306.4 and am just on the verge of the 250's and I need to see it!!!!! Help! Encouragment needed Sleeve Family!

Checkin in on my fellow 17th'ers!! How's everyone doing? I been feeling pretty good. I can drink 52 ozs of fluid pretty easy now... My goal today is the big 64. I am so ready to get to pureed foods!!!!!!! One lady posted some great pureed recipes and I am anxious to try them. Im down 21 pds!

Sent a prayer for you!!!

I had it about three weeks out. Its def a muscle and will heal. Take it easy, aspirin, hot then cold pads..... My doc gave me a muscle relaxer that helped tremendously!!

How far out before you began eating salads?

Garnier Fall Fight shampoo and conditioner. It contains Biotin... Have heard great reviews in regards to helping with hair loss

Im going for 10 pds!!!!

Congrats on the 50 pd lost!!! Thats awesome!! Im down 30 pds and been in a stall for a week. I feel good.... Ready exercise full speed ahead but waiting for my 6 week appt and the ok from my doc Glad to hear so many are doing well

Im staying on here... I like the privacy as well. I was stalled for a week. Upped my cals and started to lose again, 2 pds overnight!

Gargle a lil Water down peroxide.... It will help And brush your tongue!

I have one, havent tried it yet. My NUT wants it be be pure whey isolate. Im not sure if these contain whey protein!? Now I have to find it and check.

Anyone else pull abdominal muscle?? It hurts to my back and side on the right!!!! Ouch! Its getting better, but I am so sore!

Congrats!

What better place than to reveal my success thus far? When asked my weight in the past, I would answer "no one will ever know but me and Jesus!" Well.... Now me, Jesus and VST! So here goes: Starting wt- 304.8 Day of Surg - 296 Today - 278.2 and today makes 3 weeks post op!

Thanks everyone!!

Sleeved the 17th.... I just eat alot of tilapia. Eating too fast or too much hurts!!!! It takes me about 35 mins to eat 21/2 ozs of fish (1/2 a filet). I like seafood and so im sticking with it. Its soft and chews up well and goes down smooth! Plus high in Protein!

What stage is everyone at?? Im on pureed/ soft foods and have been for a week!

I ate horribly today!!!!!!!! I grazed and grazed..... Smh!!!!

Almost 3 weeks out, 500 calories.... Normal?

S.O.S. Sleeve of Steel, lol

Im out only 21/2 weeks and can say this.... I WILL not starve myself! I am focusing on a LIFESTYLE change that includes balance. I strive for a healthy balance between healthy food and healthy exercise! I don't want to obsess, I want to live and work the tool I have been afforded. I find it best to listen and adhere to the advice of my surgeon and NUT. Following too many opinions will taint your focus.

Dont let someone get that much of your ear ever again! As soon as negativity starts to come out of someone's mouth... Shut them down! I tend to tell people "I'm not hearing anything negative right now, leave a message at the beep.. Beep... "(Walk away) Shame on her. She works with you, she doesn't know you! She doesn't know and/ or understand your struggles.... and she doesn't need to! You did this for YOU! Be encouraged! There's always one on the hater bench!
