My cravings have totally changed. I used to LOVE sweets and potatoes, rice, and bread. Oh my! But now my cravings are usually for red meat. Go figure. But seriously, I think it's really cool.

I find it MUCH more intense. It seems like thing are... Uh... More accessible.

Ok, y'all making me hungry. Good thing it's nearly dinner time!

During my first 2 weeks I was feeling lightheaded and my doc told me to start taking B12, and that really helped me.

Are you taking B 12?

Starting wt: 240.6 Current wt: 169.5 Goal wt: 140 (May possibly lower) 4 months out So happy with my results so far. Looking forward to the future- the slimmer sexier healthier future. J. Cross- I'm with you-- saving $$ for the plastics!

Just following the rules and exercising. Don't worry! It'll come off!!

Oh, and most people seem to prefer the ready-to-drink Premier Protein shakes

Do you like the EAS? If so, I'd add some unflavored protein powder to them bc they could use a higher protein count.

My surgery was outpatient. And I couldn't get out fast enough. Lol

Don't panic. I wasn't even allowed protein until the 2nd week. Just keep trying!

Totally normal to be emotional after surgery. And yes, it is hormonal. I was even crying for commercials. LOL.

1. Tolerating anything I try but still following the rules.. Low carb/ high protein. I've stayed away from starchy carbs but do eat fruit/veggies/meat/dairy. Eating 2-4 oz per sitting, depending on what I'm eating. 2. I don't count calories (per Dr. request) 3. I had stopped but started again after the hair loss started. Figured the extra protein couldn't hurt. 4. Surgery was on 6/11- - 71 lbs lost. 5. Love this sleeve. Down from size 22/24 to 14/16. Feeling great!

** I wasn't restricted to 6 weeks- that's just when my appointment was scheduled.

Walking, swimming, bike, Taebo (without the jumps) light hand weights, walking up and down stairs... Stuff like that. No running. No intense ab exercises. No jumping.

Around my 5-6 week appointment. My doc was like, "ok, you can start training for the Olympics." Lol

Boobs! Specifically, perky ones. Sorry, I couldn't help myself.

Yes, deviled eggs are really easy to eat. I make me a deviled egg (yep, 1- and my coworkers laugh) once in a while to bring to work. Except I use a Lauging Cow wedge instead of mayo-- yum!

And be sure you aren't sacrificing nutrition to have wine

I don't have an issue with chicken, but turkey doesn't sit well. It doesn't come up, it just doesn't feel good. But I do find steak is easier than poultry (strange?).

Normally, when I'm preparing for a storm I'm thinking Water, gas, cash, prepping the home, food, blah blah... It's funny when I heard of the storm entering the Gulf of Mexico, my first thought was... OMG! I BETTER GO STOCK UP ON Protein BARS!! Haha, how our thoughts change!

Yes, SE LA. It's funny how not having AC doesn't make the top 3 worries now. Haha. The heat isn't quite as bad with these lbs gone.
