Ok so sounds like I'm doing fine. I'm just paranoid that ill stretch my stomach.

Oh I love Greek yogurt as a snack as well.

66 lbs 4 pants sizes!

Well I get my calories low on purpose. My doctor said 200-250 per meal 4 meals daily but an average day for me B 2 egg whites slice of deli ham 1/2 100% whole wheat toast dry L 2 slices deli meat 7 cubed cheese (low fat really good already cubed) S tuna creation package D 3 oz fish and 1oz veg usually broccoli or Brussels sprouts

I'm so scared to cheat because my doctor told me all the scary bad things that could happen but hey we all fall down thing is to get back up. Good luck to you!!!

I'm 3 months out I eat 3 to 4 oz 4 times a day.

I was so frustrated that I was losing weight but my waist wasn't shrinking. I'm 3 months out now & went from a 28 to a 22. So give it time

Forgot I was sleeved 12/3/12 weighed 351

I'm down 67 lbs and I was over flowing size 28 jeans and now fit comfortably in a 22

Congrats!!!! I have bcbs go AL and my doctors office warned me it could take a few months but I had it approved with in a week. I'm 3 months post op now and extremely happy

I'm so excited. I've lost 4 pants sizes. I'm fitting into jeans in my closet that i haven't warn in years! Spring break is in a few weeks and we are going to Disneyland can't wait to spend some time in sunny Southern California

I was given Helprin before surgery and injected the 3 days I was in the hospital so I'm sure with your history they will take the precaution as well. Don't worry you'll do great!!

I will say it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought. The gas pressure in my chest was the worst part and after the drainage tube was removed the pain was pretty much gone! Good luck and focus less on the pain and more on what your doing to make a positive change in your life!

Mine said 4 weeks and 6 weeks before acrobatics but said as long as we were mindful in incisions sooner would be fine

I've been over 300 lbs for around 3 yrs. Today i weighed at my doctors appoint ( i only weigh at doctors office because i don't own a scale. i will not be a slave to the scale) I was hoping for a decent number since i weighed on Feb 5th. I was shocked to see 10lbs gone. With that it put me at 294. i'm super happy with my progress. This isn't easy for sure but it is so worth it! I'm getting my life back

That's ok I'm emotional now. Like crying over anything. Happy, sad, bored yup I cry. Lol hopefully that passes

Ok personally been dealing with this since surgery so my doc said to drink miralax for a few weeks to try to get back on track and drink more fluids that dehydration can cause this

I'm getting bored with my foods. I seem to get up and eat the same stuff day in an day out. example boiled egg minus the yolk, 1oz reduced fat cheddar tuna for lunch plain cottage cheese, or string cheese for snack then fish with a few broccoli stem but this is working for my weight loss so far but if any of yall have any suggestions hey let me know i don't eat over 800 calories but usually around 600

I'm on regular diet but can only eat about 1/2 cup never more usually less. I'm the type of person that can eat the same thing for days then not touch it again for months. I'm just trying to get all my protein in. I haven't had fruit yet maybe ill try that. I would love a salad but I'm too worried to try raw at the moment

I had to go to my PCP yesterday for a check up and i was down 11lbs from my last weigh in. I was so excited! i'm finally seeing results in the mirror

I am so ready for summer! I'm ready to be out gardening. Going to farmers markets. Im excited at my new lease on life! I no longer worry about the scale. I actually no longer own one the only time I weigh is doctors visits. I feel good and I'm getting my protein and staying around 600 calories a day. Life after surgery only gets better

Little behind updating but i made it to my one month post op check up last week and i wanted a bigger number but I've lost 33lbs which after i stopped and thought about how many people lose 33 lbs in 1 months! so now i'm proud of my loss. My left thigh is still numb and slightly painful but he said in 6 months that should get better. This month i'm going to focus on my walking and i will pull a big number at my next check up in march! I'm great full for my supportive people i have. I return to work Monday after being gone 6 weeks so i'm dragging my feet there. I'm going to go in with a positive attitude and see how they react. most were jealous that i was getting time off for a surgery they found unnecessary. So i may just be walking back in to the lions den or i may not but what ever it is i will have my head held high! I'm 33lbs slimmer

I've joined my fitness pal so look me up!!! amberbridgman looking forward to seeing ya'll
