Wow, such an inspirational story! You make me feel like I can run a 5 k!

How much protein are you getting in? I eat maybe 3 to 4 times a day, but it's all protein. oatmeal with milk for breakfast or a shake. Lunch might be a turkey sausage and dinner chicken with some soup to moisten and veggies.

I am not ever hungry so I'm not dealing with hunger but I certainly crave things. I do as someone above said...tell myself I will be able to eat these things again, just not yet! There are things my body needs a lot more than what I am craving. I did have a french fry (just one) and 5 reeses pieces candies and amazingly enough was satisfied with that little amount. I am also having crazy potato chip cravings and I never even ate them pre-op! lol

You really look great! Congratulations on coming so far and good luck continuing the journery!

You both look absolutely amazing!

Wow, you look really great! Congratulations!

I was sleeved on 12-11-12 and am down 53 lbs so ffar. I am following my guidelines and really don't count calories yet but eat 2 to 3 times a day and drink one protein drink. Good luck to everyone! :-)

Wow, you are looking great! :-)

In the beginning it will be really slow. I have always been a fast drinker and sometimes over do it but I have found a cup tht helps. They are called tervis tumblers or something and they have a lid that doesn't really allow for more than a sip and there is a slide close/open on it. I take this cup everywhere and it really helps. I got sick of looking silly with my son's go diego go cups! lol

I am 7 weeks today and down 50 lbs, I can't tell you exactly what my 30 day was.

It's kind of funny that you posted this because I was just talking about it the other day. It is extremely frustrating to see this bmi scale and what it does to people. My sister started eating healthy and exercising and lost about 110 pounds. She exercises every single day, she is a runner and still eats healthy but she weighs about 210 which puts her bmi greater than 30 and of course means she has to go to weight watchers for insurance. It's ridiculous, she is healthier than some of her 120 lb friends but she still suffers because of the label of >30 bmi.

You look wonderful! Im in grand rapids too!

I'm in grand rapids. :-)

These sound delicious, thank you!

I am in grand rapids and was sleeved 12-11-12 with Dr. Schram! :-)

Grand rapids, Michigan!

Some foods upset my belly and I find I'm in the bathroom within the hour (not milk either)

Baby silverware period is nice when you can eat too! Lol. I remember that well...loved cream of chicken!

Congrat's! you look great!

I ha e never been a potato chip fan but I have been wanting some for days! Lol
