I know we are all dazzled/befuddled/annoyed/enthralled by the weight losses...the numbers oh how we watch the numbers on the scale. but I would like to humbly suggest we remember even if it's not perfect or falling off or we're stalled or we're making bad decisions or we're making great ones, we all made a commitment to our health in doing this. So, tonight, i will not share a weight update. I will tell you I don't need to take a nap twice each weekend anymore. I am taking classes at the gym I never thought I could do and I am proudly doing my push-ups against the wall - and no one even cares! I am wearing clothes I never thought would go over my hips again. My son says my face is way prettier now. my Husband grabs my A$$. So did my mother :-) I can do things well into the night and not feel exhausted every day. I am smaller and I am healthier and even though I struggle to get through this, I am proud I did this. It is saving my life. We are all doing wonderfully and I am so happy to read the replies to our group. Good night December sleevers. You rock.

Sleeved 12/21. Down 45 pounds since surgery. Last night, waited way too long to eat dinner (not for any other reason but being busy) and when we ate the (ugh...never again!) KFC - it made me so gassy and sick to my stomach. UGH! I thought I would handle the chicken if I removed the skin. I have not felt that sick in two months. Today I am back to shakes, berries, fruits and natural proteins. Anyone else finding they cannot easily incorporate or tolerate any grease at all? Also, despite good cardio work outs, I am seeing excess skin already. Thoughts on P90X?

For the water, think of 64 ounces as 5 12 ounce glasses a day - 3 before or after meals, and one to sip on at night and all day. I hate to say this, but I am a little relieved others are stalled. I have images of being someone who could make the tiny stomach they left me with grow to ungodly sizes in 2 weeks and completely losing another ounce.

I sent you a message. :-)

Surgery was 12/21 and down 28 pounds. Some days it doesn't move, some it drops considerably. Never hungry, but never ever know what to do at 930 pm when my brain wants to eat. Trying not to compare weight losses, but 28 pounds in under 3 weeks - is that normal?
