I have SOOOOO close to having a one instead of two as my first number!!!! 4 more lbs and its onederland for me!!! Hoping for a good week!!

Hi everyone!!! I'm on a no stall week! I seem to be loosing ozs or at least a pound everyday! I was worried for a bit but I think i found MY bodies groove!! sleeved Dec 28th Wieghtloss since surgery 35lbs!!!

Hi everyone! I was sleeved December 28th, as of this morning I've lost 25lbs post surgery. I lost 19lbs in the first 13 days, then stalled for about 5 days and just started dropping the last 3 days, about 5lbs! I'll be honest I think it's my water intake. I basically would only pee once a day, now I'm up to the point of getting up at night. I don't always hit my protein, I probably get about 40mg in. I also moved my exercising back, took 2 days off, will probably take this weekend off too! I remember when I did weight watchers, they didn't like you excercising for like the first 8 weeks or something, it was to allowed your body to adjust to your new way of eating. I think this is the same! I think we get hung up on what we "should" be doing as people loosing weight instead of listening to our bodies. I'm guilty, I thought get out there kill it on the treadmill, work work work!!!!! What I should be doing is listening and feeling my body. Learning about this new way! My doctors has me eating every 3 hours but I found smaller meals every 2 works better! I think my body is telling me to slow down on the workouts, I'm still healing. I know it's telling drink more water, we can last longer without food than we can without water!!! Slow down, learn your body, put all the fears away, it's not going to work for me, this stall is never gonna end, I can't do this right!!! Open your mind and body and listen, learn the new you!!!

Surgery 12/28.... Down 20 lbs, now stalled. I was pretty frustrated since I lost that weight in the 1st 10 days, and nothing since! But at least it's 20 lbs less!

Hi everyone, Did we all have our 1 week post-op check???? I did, 19 lbs down and graduated to modified liquids!!! So excited, I will move too semi soft foods at my one month mark figured what some of my pain was, shoulder blade after I eat means I ate too much!!!! Sternum pain, from fixing a hernia I had, and left flank pain is still from a recovering spleen!! Incisions all healed!!! Feeling better every day!!! Hope you all are are having a good start to your 2nd week of a new life!!

Good morning 28'r!!!!! I hope everyone is feeling a little more human everyday!!! Things are moving more smoothly here!! Down 16 lbs since surgery day! I still have a little tenderness at a couple of my port sites. How is everyone doing with pain??? I'm still taking it easy, trying not to over do I can officially say today is the first day I feel that I am NOT going to say, "maybe I shouldn't have done this". I hope all of you are doing a bit better everyday! Looking forward to hearing about how all of you are doing!! Now off to my Protein shake!

hi all, i was also sleeved on the 28th, in Marina Del Rey,Ca. I stayed in the hospital 2 nights, because i have a history of stroke. Honestly having that 2nd night with wonderful care was the best part of my healing process. AND my hubby got to sleep in my room with me My first day home was Sunday and the ride home was rough, grant it I live 2 hours away from the facility, so it was a rough ride. My doc told me not to worry about anything but resting the first day home, I'd have so much Fluid in me to chance of dehydration. So i slept about 16 hours total. it was nice!! So fifth day and its getting better! Struggling with the Protein goal but im getting there and i know its making things work better! So a couple of things, have anyone cough or thrown up????? What about lingering gas??? I dont have much much, but every one in awhile man it kills!!! I'm so excited that i took this step, but still to close to say it was the best decision

Sitting in pre--op!! Ready to go, got my snassy hat on my IV in and my fancy gown!!! Lets change my life!!!! Good luck to everyone!! I'm sure everyone will do great!!!

my surgery date it the 28th also!!!! I just found out this past Wednesday, the 19th, so I been a busy bee with all the pre- op. I guess I've been so busy that this morning I got nervous for the first time!!! I'm scared but excited, just can't wait for it to happen! So we can all say, I know someone who is feeling the same way!!!
