sars

I'm down 13.8. Last Thurs & Fri were rough on the head hunger. I'm looking forward to eating something other than a Protein shake. Having French onion Soup and cream of mushroom at various holiday gatherings this week. Still having a hard time getting in all my liquids. I go back to the NUT on Jan. 3 for the next phase. How are you doing?

Hi All, How is everyone doing? I'm down about 50 pounds BUT I have been in a stall the last 3 weeks. Very frustrated as I'm so close to "oneder land" Any advice is appreciated!

I had surgery in Dec. & was approved by UH. Yesterday, I got a letter from UH saying they had received my appeal to their denial of procedure on the date of my surgery. Anyone have this happen to them before? I will call tomorrow but it's very confusing.

3 months on the 17th

I was just about to post this. Doesn't matter what i eat or drink, I feel quesy. I'm wondering if it's a tummy bug but my tummy just isn't as big anymore?

I'm down 45lbs since my surgery on Dec.17. In the last two weeks, my hips have begun to hurt really bad. The only thing I can think is that I'm crossing my legs more? It's so bad it has made many nights sleepless. I do exercise 3-4 times weekly (Zumba) Anyone else experience this?

I am so over food. I feel like I think about it more now than before my surgery. It takes forever to eat such a small amount that I'm over it - shakes would be so much easier but I know that's not advisable by my NUT. How about you?

Looks great!!!

No carbonated beverages and honestly after the pre-op diet and first few weeks after surgery, you don't miss them anymore.

I love getting 20g of Protein in a veggie burger but am resistant to eat a lot of soy since it's been linked to breast cancer. Any other big protein for small quantity foods out there that don't have soy?

I had to wait 2 weeks. We keep ours at about 98 and I only stay for about 45 min. Make sure you get your liquids in first

Awesome!!!

Feeling good but I'm in a stall. Almost 1 week long.

Mine is definitely here. In fact, I've even 'gained' a pound and a half. This sucks! I loved that momentum of daily weight loss. I'm down 24lbs and haven't lost since Mon or Tues. What about you?

I just want to be a size 8 - whatever weight I am will be fine.

Just curious if sleevers still got tummy viruses.

I'm sick of chocolate.

I think 17 is great! That's 8.5lb a week!!

Prior to sleeve (12/17), it was normal for me to become bloated with as much as 7-10lbs Water weight. I went off BC 2 weeks prior to sleeve and my period is out of whack. I am definitely bloated it curious if everything goes back to 'normal' I have PCOS so there isn't really a normal for me but BC does help

Does anyone feel they are able to swallow a lot more now? I'm nervous it's too much but I guess there's a long way between day 1 post op and a sip every 15 min. And now.

Thanks, that is really helpful!

Nectar and pure protein

My NUT said not to eat nuts! I think that's crazy!

I've seen a lot of mentions of chili, does anyone have a recipe or canned suggestion?

I was sleeved the 17th and go back to work tomorrow. I didn't tell coworkers. While friendly at work, we don't hang out on the weekends and like most places, gossip runs amuck. I told them I was having some things cleaned up and taken out so I could have another child in the next two years (which is true). I'm down almost 18lbs, it's definitely noticeable in my face. I'm most concerned with what to do about lunch. I've come up with errands for the next few days but until I can eat normally, I'm sure there will be tons of questions. I'm just going to try to keep a low profile, which is kinda hard for me
