ASKSARAH - Sleeve

That is super awesome. My husband started losing with me. Drinking shakes as Meal Replacements, cutting back on food amount and what type he eats and he has dropped 20 Lbs and is so motivated now. He says it wasn;t as hard as he thought it was gonna be. We work out together 2xs a week and has a very active job. so excited for you

And this is why we tell people not to buy things until after they are home. Sorry this happened to you. unjury is awful to me. Have you tried to send it back for a refund?

How amazing. What a transformation. Tell me you had to get a new driver's license. You do not look like the same person. And as first the skin. That's what plastics Are for No worries

Why not do stadium stairs. If you don't have a stadium thats open to the public ( like the rose bowl) you could head to your local high school football field or the Jr. College usually has a stadium. You could warm up on the track and then go up and down the stairs. We had to do this in HS and I remember it being super HARD and the next day my calf's were so sore.

I do not take Vitamins. I take B-12 about 3xs a week. I had my metabolic panel done and I look great and high in B-12. Its not necessary if you are eating well. IMHO.

It's actually not a stall until you have lost 0 inches or pounds for a month. Evaluate your diet, add more carbs or reduce carbs, maybe add more Water. How about your calories do you need to add more in or eat less? Maybe everything is ok and your body just needs to rest.... Good luck

Oh my there are much better ways of preparing a chicken than boiling it.. When you boil it you render it tasteless and dry. Please bake your chicken in the oven or crock pot. Seriously use low sodium chicken broth and some veggies and spices for flavor. In essence your making a stock and have chicken baking in it. Then shred it and use it during the week. You will thank me.

I am 30 Lbs lighter and at least 25 Inches smaller and I agree with the poster above me. That you were really a larger size and now its fitting properly and starting to get baggy. I am not seeing a size change either and I have lost more than you. I have a good friend I was telling this to and she is 8 months or so out and she said once you hit between 35- 40 lbs then you willsee changes in size and then monthly after that. I get that it is discouraging but hang in there its bound to happen

I do from day 1, I avoid plain water and add flavor to it. Or drink tea

I have to intentionally eat carbs, like 2 sheets of graham crackers with a table spoon of cream cheese for instance and I get right back to losing

Ohh I like this, I saute 2 mushrooms in evoo and a bit of salt and pepper, added 2 oz rotisserie chicken to that till warm then added 2 oz cheese to bind and slipped it on to a plate. Yummo.

I started taking regular ol pills on day 2. Not sure why you have to crush anything.

You have choosen an amazing surgon. I had mine done 6 weeks ago with him and I felt and was treated with amazing care. You will do great I follows his post open loosely. I looked at all kinds of place s and just went with a bit of each. I did 1 week clears 2 weeks of shakes and full fluids and right into soft foods and now I am pretty much tolerating all foods If you want a texting friend. I am here for ya.

I walked starting 4 hours after my surgery. I set a goal of 10 minutes at the top of every hour. When the TV shows changed. I would get up and walk walk walk. I would just keep doing it till my time was up. If I didn;t get in at least 7-10 laps I wo0ud not go back and watch tv. I did this every hour and I truly felt the best when walking. I hated sitting or laying. There was far too much pressure in my chest.

I popped a low fat cheeze it in my soup 2-3 week in I had a small handful 5-7 chocolate chips when I was making cookies last week. I WILL NEVER AGAIN IN MY LIFE EAT CHOCOLATE. I had super bad heartburn that I aspirated and was up all night dying! Heavy breathing and vomiting and coughing up acid. Learned my stupid lesson.

YOU'RE NOT HUNGRY. you should be eating every 3- hours small Protein rich meals. Drink Water, Go for a walk ( small or big) GO find something to do. Set a Timer for 30 min. Drink more water. If after 30 min if your still hungry have some protien. If your tummy "feels" hungry make sure you are are on a effective PPI.

I am almost 6 weeks and s tarting to eat normalish... I had chicken last night that was baked with broccoli and cheese and I did well. We are all different however. Give yourself 5-6 weeks

you probably do not need one. I did not. There was always a floor doctor on the floor who spoke english pretty well. The nurses know the key words. And if I needed a towel or something I just showed them what I was needing. It was no big deal for me

It won;t stop them at all. Only thing that will stop surgery is a fever. Good luck, no excuses

I am glad to hear that you like being on liquids cause It's easier. I agree 100% with you Congratulations on your incredible weight loss. I am 4 weeks and only lost 20 I am losing inches like nuts though

I did a few times when it was umm substantial LOL Gross But no difference. DO you see a difference? And why not count it?

Dr. Ponce Was my surgeon too. LOVED him. Your staples will get covered by your scar tissue but they are yours forever.

That is funny. It shows for desperate we become huh!

That's awful. I am sorry you have to do this. Insurance companies are like big ol bullies! That's why I went to Mexico! Good luck with your adventure

I had blue dye for my drain test however That tasted like liquid hell
