First of all you aren't going to lose everyday. I only lose weight once ot twice a month. Meaning the scale only moves once or twice a month. I don't even care to weigh myself much anymore. I feel amazing and weighing and obsessing over a number would take away from that. I'm down about 80 pounds in a little less than 7 months. Your weight loss will not make sense or be consistent but you will lose! Don't have crazy expectations and it will not be devastating!

Last night, for the first time in my life, I had a gallbladder attack! It lasted 2 1/2 hours and I would have rather been giving birth with no drugs!!! I'm scared! Does this mean it has to be removed?? What can I do to prevent surgery?

Well, doc said it's going to have to be taken out. There's too many stones for a prescription. I haven't called the surgeon yet

Bahaha Danyelle! Your post made me laugh and congratulations! My hip has consistently gotten worse since my last post. Last night I did yoga specifically for hips. I don't feel pain now but we'll see. I haven't weighed or measured lately. I'm not giving up!

Giiirl, I eat bread....are you crazy?!?! Hehe! Now that I think about it....I don't eat much bread anymore. I'm going to try those magic pops!

Probably due to diet. Also, were you a caffeine drinker and stopped? The headaches should subside in a few days. Good luck!

I had bad reflux and over the counter stuff did not work! I got a prescription and I haven't had it since! Plus I only pay like 2 dollars for it. See if you can get some too. It's been a godsend!

Hey Laura! I saw those magic pops at my grocery store and thought of you! What do they taste like? Maybe I'll get some next time.

I'm not a gym person either. I have a membership but don't use it! I have a collection of work out DVDs I do at home. I got my 4 year old involved so he doesn't let me miss a day! I really like Jillian Michaels work outs but they are really challenging. I would research work out DVDs online and preview them on YouTube uf you're interested in starting that. I also have yoga DVDs which have really helped my flexibility! Good luck to you and it's important to find something you like!

So calling African Americans ignorant is a nice and educational thing to say? I'm just wondering.

WOW!

I moved to pureed 2 weeks after surgery. 4 days clear liquid and 10 days full liquids then pureed. 5 days out gas might be a problem. I'm not sure though.

I didn't have a problem! I ate that a lot during pureed.

I have almost a full jar sitting in my cabinet. They make me too full.

Whenever I want to eat but not hungry (usually at night) I brush my teeth, clean, work out, take a hot relaxing bath, or just go to bed!

Unfortunately, that's what all these "weight loss" programs are about. Fraud, lying, and tricking people into waisting their money! All the commercials with "before and after " pics are computer generated. That's pretty crappy what your friend is doing! I probably would have fallen victim to her lies pre op. I understand your frustration!

No way! I don't believe that's you! Your after pic looks like the before pic's daughter! Haha! Congratulations!

WOW, Fiddle!!! I've never seen your before picture! Amazing transformation!

I think it is compassionate to let people know losing 100 pounds in a month is unrealistic! It makes the process a lot easier and more enjoyable to have realistic expectations.

Absolutely gorgeous! Congratulations on your success! It's also great to hear that you are happy. You're doing amazing!

I disagree, TALK HER OUT OF IT! haha! Show her the links posted above, tell her about all the complications and very low success rates. I'm sure her doctor had something to do with her decision. Don't be pushy, just concerned. Good luck!

I agree 100%!!!! This isn't liposuction! I don't usually answer those posts because it's ridiculous! This surgery cut out part of the stomach ....nothing more. Your body is going to lose at the pace it chooses. I'm sure we all wish for immediate results but it doesn't work like that. You WILL NOT lose every day, week, or even month. You still have to bust your ass to get the results you want. Good luck everyone!

I'm wondering if over confident means the OP ate whatever they wanted thinking the sleeve would work no matter what. I too would like to know what you are eating and how much. This is a very scary thought!

All my favorite foods! Thanks!
