You look beautiful, congratulations!

My doctor told me to stay at 600-700 calories until I hit goal. I am at 3 months and am averaging 850 a day.

Count me in. DOS Weight (12.17.2012): 235 lbs Weight Today (03.20.2012): 197 lbs. Goal Weight for the 1st Day of Summer: 160 lbs. By June 21st I want to lose 37 lbs. which = 12.33 lbs a mo., or 2.8 lbs a week for 13 weeks. Good luck everyone!

Hoping your daughter is feeling better and recovers quickly!!

Hi Lizy - does this mean you were approved?

Great to see how well everyone is doing! Today is 3 months for me too and I'm so happy with my sleeve!!!

I really like the Pure Protein pre-made chocolate protein shakes. You can find them at Target or Trader Joes, or online. 35 grams of protein and they taste really good!

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your daughter.

I am 3 months out and drink a protein shake for my morning meal, 35 grams. It really helps me get my protein in.

Wow! 80 lbs in 3 months is incredible, congratulations! You look wonderful!!!

Good luck, I hope you hear soon that you are approved!

Hi Lizy, good luck, my fingers are crossed for you! Let us know when you get approved. :-)

I'm also a stress eater and am very stressed right now due to my mom being really ill. I am about 10 weeks out and I've done really well sticking to my food plan, except for this last week. It's been pretty easy because my hunger is 80% gone. I ate a whole pint of frozen chocolate yogurt one day, and then couple days later I ate WAY too many miniature candies a co-worker keeps stocked at his desk for whoever needs chocolate. I know I will always have to fight my urge to eat when I'm stressed, but the thing that makes it a lot easier is I'm not also always fighting hunger pains as well, so I feel it's much easier to control. It's also a lot easier to get back on track! :-)

YEP.. Pretty bad one too. Last night I ate a whole PINT of chocolate frozen yogurt, in like 10 minutes. And yes...i had reeses peanut butter cups for a topping. First time I've eaten like that since surgery. Almost immediately I felt naueseated, sweaty, and that, along with extreme diarrhea, lasted about an hour. I was miserable. I guess I had a "dumping" incident (go figure). Back on track today though!

Starting weight: 200 Goal weight: 190 Expected Loss: 10

Congratulations - that is so awesome! :-).

I have UHC as well and wasn't approved either. I had a hernia so UHC paid that portion and it only cost me 5,000 out of pocket.

Yep, I lost 21 lbs the first 21 days after surgery, then nothing for the next 3 weeks.

I'm so happy for you, congratulations! I am hoping I'll hit it tomorrow. :-)

I was sleeved 12/18/2012. I'm 5'6" and weighed 235 lbs day of surgery. It's been a little over 9 weeks and I've lost 34 lbs, am down to 201 lbs, and can't wait to hit ONEDERLAND. :-)

My doctor said to eat 600 calories a day until you hit goal, but I'm averaging 900 a day.

You shouldn't have to suffer because your pcp has a bad memory...good luck Lizzy, I sure hope you get approved!
