Hi I think I need to do that. I started at 249 and I want to lose 120lbs making me 129lbs. Idk if that's maintainable but I'm gonna try. I was a revision band to sleeve on dec 30th. On that day I was 222lbs last weigh in I was 203.

look at u being all curvy!

I still get hungry when it's time to eat which at first made me upset cause I don't wanna be hungry. But then the tiniest amount of protein takes that away immediately so hungry or not, I can live with that.

So I just had surgery to remove my ten yr old broken lap band and do a revision to a sleeve. Had my surgery at Laredo medical center with Dr Michael Morris. Love him!!! Hated the hospital. Had a hernia fixed and gallbladder removed at the same time. Doc said surgery lasted three hours because I had a ton of scar tissue he had to dig out I can sure feel it too. My weight just before surgery was 222 lbs and I'm 5'1" I had BCBS of Tennessee and they required I lose ten percent which I did but it took nine months to do so. So day one Dec 31st. It's 24 hours past my surgery. They took me down to check for a leak this morning. All clear! They told me I can start on Clear liquids for today and tomorrow and maybe a Protein shake. Sooo here I sit staring at my broth and Jello.... I've been taking the tiniest of bites but it kinda gurgles going down and I can tell I don't want another bite. How am I supposed to get anything in? I think I've had an oz maybe over the last couple of hours. Is this normal? I'm not in absolute horrible pain now although I did have it rough yesterday. I'm not nauseated anymore but my abdomen is sooooo tight and filled with air. They say to keep walking and it'll go away, I sure hope they are right. My shoulder hurts too. Kinda weird. Ok so off to walk a bit and see if I feel a little better.

I feel awesome. No problems really. I'm eating well just smaller amounts so it's exactly what I wanted

yup didn't make sense to me to start trickin it up this early on. Just following the rules and waiting it out.

I'm five weeks out and the dreaded stall started on day 18. The scale finally moved today! I didn't change anything just kept on going. That was a lonnnng time it seems. Guess there's not much avoiding it. Lol

Here's a recap of how it's gone so far. High weigh- 249 lbs 5'1" Surgery day weight 222 lbs on dec 30, 2013 Week 1- lost 8 lbs Week 2- lost 6 lbs Week 3- lost 5 lbs Week 4- lost 0 Week 5- lost 0 Good thing is the stall is broken now but I can't record that until next Monday.

hi jerzey! Well I was stalled for a few weeks but it finally went down today so I'm at 202 lbs! Soooo close to that 199 stalls are definitely no fun but I'm down a solid 20 lbs since surgery on dec 30th so guess I'm on the sixth weeks

HW 249 SW 222 CW 205 17 lbs lost since surgery on Dec 30,2013 I've been stalled for 15 brutal days now. Started on Jan 18th only 19 days post op. It stinks but I'm hopeful it will move soon.

I knew myself enough to know that everything I've ever tried didn't work for me. I was so tired of starting a brand new diet on Monday. Every Monday it seemed. I wanted it so bad so I didn't even think for a second that I wanted to back out. I decided I was going to get better so I could be the person I knew I was on the inside. My girls need me around and if I kept going, I would not be there for them. I didn't allow negative thought about what could happen during surgery. An early death from diabetes was going to be my future if I didn't take this opportunity. Only thing I questioned was which surgery to do. No negative thoughts allowed but it is perfectly normal to fear the unknown. Good luck with whatever u decide.

I take two prenatal gummies, 2 Carmel flavored calcium chews, extra d3, 2 biotin 5000 melts, and centrum silver chewable. Oh and Prevacid

Oh my gosh I'm sending positive thoughts your way. I'm guessing the pancreatitis has nothing to do with the sleeve? Yes definitely get some G2 or what I drink is power aid zero everyday. I also keep it by the bed at night. Never had a problem with dehydration and I'm able to drink full swallows without sipping at four weeks out. Get ur fluids and antibiotics in and u should be good as new in no time. Thinking of u thru the hard times.

I did fry the cat fish but pat it pretty good. I normally never dry anything at all though so I don't know if that's what made me sick. But we don't dump with the sleeve so I'd be surprised really. For the time being I'm going to stay away. Won't be hard cause I don't like seafood anyway lol like it even less now lol

oooh 11 lbs !! I bet by next month u and I will be well under that mean ol 200 mark.

Hi! I was sleeved on dec 30th too. I just wanted to say I think u are doing fantastic!! I can't guzzle water but I can take a mouthful and swallow then again and again. Hit liquid goes down better for me. I'm not getting my full 80 g in protein though. I'm working on that. I've only gotten sick on catfish (1.5 oz) and egg salad. It sounds like u are doing everything right. Post often I'm interested in those that share my sleeve bday! Lol

thank you Charlie it was goes with it but I'm certain we are all gonna get there sooner or later. Today I washed my truck, did the grocery shopping, planned out some meals, went thru my closet and tried on pants. Found a few that are too big now so I'm feeling better. Thank u for the kind words. It'll be here before u know it! I look forward to reading your journey.

27 days post op 18 lbs lost since surgery dec 30th 45 lbs lost total Stall started on Jan 18th Currently on day 8 of stall. Apparently this is very normal and I should not freak out because they happen to everyone and it's the body just trying to adjust. Keep in doing what I'm supposed to do and it will pass...... FREAKKKKKKKK OOOUUUUUUUTTTTTTTTT OMG !!!!!!! THIS SUXXXXXXX!!!!!!! SO CLOSE TO UNDER 200lbs UGGGHHHHH (stomps feet in a full on fit and total melt down) Ok wheww moving on.... Sorry u were not spared lol

27 days post op 204 lbs Not much to post about lately cause I've been stalled now for a week. I hit the dreaded three week stall at 18 days out. Im going to have to get back to my Protein requirements because I've noticed since I started eating normal food I'm barely getting anything in. Last night hubby wanted sea food which I'm not a huge fan of but I like catfish and figured that would be a great source of protein. I made catfish, shrimp, fried okra, and red Beans and rice. I put a carefully measured three ounces of catfish on my plate and a tablespoon of tartar sauce. That was two fillets... I managed to eat one. So my dinner was 1.5 oz of fish. I should have stopped at one ounce I guess cause it sat there and sat there and I ended up getting sick live and learn I guess. As much as I'm sick of Protein Shakes I better just do it.

hi, not sure if u are asking me or not but if so I have blue cross blue shield if Tennessee.

very excited for you! Had my tonsils out when I was five. Parents kept bringing me ice cream but I didn't want it lol

I had to pay 960.00 plus my deductible. Still way better than twenty thousand though

I had to look over my stuff but I couldn't find any iron goals just protein, cals, and water.

dammit girl! We have about the same starting stats. I'm only 3 weeks out though. I am hoping I end up like your after pic! Wow

Very cute! You've done amazingly well. What a inspiration u are! Lmao @ duck face why do they do that?! Lol
