HW - 410 SW - 392 (8/8/13) Weight at beginning of challenge - 359 Thanksgiving goal -349 CW -347.6 Yeah!

Don't like it either. Too many bugs.

I had a follow-up appointment with my doctor and NUT today. I am 3 months post op. my NUT said I can expect my weight loss to slow down now that I've hit the 3 month mark and could expect 1 pound a week or so. She said most sleeves reach their goal in 18-24 months. If I only lose a pound a week or so, I'll be a whole lot longer than that. Anybody else been told that or find this is true?

It's hard not to be the scale's slave. I am always hopeful when I get on the scale in the morning. If its not what I wanted, I'm pissed . Need to put that sucker away

Laura-ven, I have another 200 pounds to lose though. I just don't see how it's possible to lose that in the next 18-24 months.

OMG Butter! You made me snort out loud! What a mental pic

Apath, stalls suck, BUT YOU'VE GOT THIS. Stick with what you know you need to do.

I ran into the same. I stalled about a month ago for 2 weeks. Drove me crazy. Talked to ny NUT and she looked at my food diary. She told me I needed to eat more. That is so foreign to me. I asked what my dal intake should be and she said not to even worry about cals. Eat, get protein and drink enough water. Finally she told me at my weight I should be eating at least 1200 cals but more toward 1600. Was really hard to go to that and when I did I gained a few pounds. I freaked. She said not to worry, that my body was putting back the muscle it burned when I wasn't eating enough. She was right. I've lost 9 pounds I 2 weeks. Definitely not normal for me. I'm a slower loser. I'm still struggling with my brain saying too many cals. Each day is a struggle, but WE CAN DO THIS!

Thanks Evolve and Sophie. I'm trying to keep chugging along until I hit another stall.

Update to thanksgiving challenge: 10/21 (start of challenge) -359 Challenge goal -349 11/4 - 350.8

You look amazing!

I've lost 58,000 pennies (58 lbs)

So impressed. I started out at 410. So proud of you.

Six buttons, you could be my foodie twin . I'm almost 3 months out and I miss junk food. I started out at 410, so I thought ir would fall off, but it hasn't. Trying to come to terms that I'm a slow loser. Most times I can handle it last night I lost it and at probably 7-8 mini candy bars. Afterwards I was so depressed I couldn't stand myself. Deja vu. I slept late this morning and got up behind on my water. And my weight was up too. Depressing. I've been moping around all day and I'm hungry. Gotta shake this. I feel better just writing this down. Just call me Scarlettbecause tomorrow is another day

Don't remember who suggested that I try dry roasted edamame, but thanks! Delicious

Oh yeah, I'm almost 3 mos post op. I make sure I chew, chew chew:)

I actually bought it. I ordered mine from amazon but health stores probably carry it too. Tastes almost like dry roasted peanuts. 2oz ha 130 cals and 14 g protein. They weight really light so 2 oz is quite a bit.

Ve wondered the same thing about the water. I would HATE to stretch my sleeve because of WATER

10/21 - 359 10/28 -354

It's miserable. Don't think I've ever gone more tgen 4 days.

I have a terrible time with it. Know I take a stool softner and a dose of miralax every night. Doing much better.

I'm almost 3 months out and was allowed salad at 8 weeks. Was delish. Never thought I would crave a salad so much

Love the Premier Protein. Tastes like chocolate milk.

I started my pre op diet at 410, SW at 392. I was sleeved 8/8 and am down a total of 56 pounds. You guys are all amazing. I've got a loong way to go. Keep telling me good things.

Wow, you're a knockout, girl!
