Seven days out, pain mostly gone although it was much more than I expected. On the liquid diet for two more weeks and can't stop thinking about eating real food. I'm even dreaming about eating food. Does this get better?!?! I know it especially hard with it being Christmas and all, but soup and protein drinks are making me crazy. 5'4" 31y/o SW 320 CW 302

Ended up at 252.4. Bear my goal by 2.6 lbs!!! Yay!!

Used to eat and eat and eat until I was miserable. I would sit on my couch in my misery and feel guilty about what I had just done to myself. I would say I wouldn't do it any more then a couple days or weeks later I would do it Ll over again. This was how I got to 320 pounds by age 31. Well 30 days ago I had my sleeve done. Gone are the days of eating five sushi rolls. BUT, I still have the guilt. I just had 3 ounces of thinly sliced roast beef with one laughing cow cheese wedge spread on it. I am full. Not miserably of course, but full. I still have the guilt!!! I feel like I shouldn't have eaten so much even though I know I'm well within plan. Does anyone else have fullness guilt still? My conscience thinks I just ate a whole bag if Doritos!!!! Thoughts?

Weighed in today at 254.6!!! Easter goal was 255!!! This is the first time I've attained my goal weight in a challenge. Soooo happy.

I'm constantly trying to cross my legs. Lol. Sometimes I can and sometimes I can't but I'm so close to being able to do it comfortably. I can't wait!!

HW 320 SW 313 CW 255.7 With moving and going out with friends I'm very happy with the loss so far. I find that of I can really get my self sweating during a work out that I see it more on the scale the next day. Recently graduated from walking to run/walk intervals. It's rough but I'm determined.

HW 320 12/2/13 SW 313 12/17/13 CW 258.7 down 61.3 total and 54.3 from surgery!!

Challenge Start 262.2 Currently 258.7 Goal 255.

Challenge Start 262.2 Currently 258.7 Goal 255.

Just broke a stall, let's see if I can keep up this progress! CW 262.2 GW 255... I've been a slow loser so I want to set attainable goals.

Jeans were pretty loose so I opened up the too small box and went shopping! 2 more pairs of jeans that I couldn't button a couple weeks ago!!! Yay!!

Kiap82 here if I'm not pals with you already!

I'm in again!!

Slowly going down but moving out a serious damper on my loss. HW 320 SW 313 CW 264.2

Didn't make goal again but got a lot closer. Goal was 263 and I was 264.2 Monday morning. Looking forward to the next challenge.

CW 267.7.... Not that much of a loss but it has been a really long weekend moving across the country.

HW 320 SW 313 CW 267.7

Those are awesome numbers!!!

HW 320 SW 313 CW 268 Lost three pounds while on vacation in California. That's pretty awesome!!

I have movers coming at 8am tomorrow and lots to do. For some reason I can't get off the couch. Ugh. At least I'm not eating!!! I will go fill up a water bottle though. At least I can hydrate while I procrastinate.

268!! A day late but I wasn't able to weigh yesterday.

Fifty pounds down today!!!! AND I have a major NSV happening right now. I'm sitting in plane waiting for everyone to board and asked for and extender like always.... But I didn't need it(barely) lol. Yay!!! It's a great start to vacation weekend. HW 320 12/3 SW 313 12/17 CW 270 yay!

I'm 9 weeks out also and wish I had more restriction. Eating out usually is better. I get fuller and stay that way longer. At home sometimes I feel like a bottomless pit. This weekend I went out for dinner and drinks. Drinks really add up the calories and three days later I'm still working off the gain. I was .6 away from fifty lost and gained three pounds. I'm sure a lot of it was salt and not enough Water but geez!! I'm back on the horse too. Sipping my Protein shake as I type this.

Good luck!! You can do this. In a couple weeks you'll be able to turn down any candy cause it's not worth the space in your sleeve. I also understand temptation at work. We bake fresh cookies for our patients and peanut butter cookies are my weakness. I'm glad to say I haven't had a cookie since the second of December!! My coworkers know about my surgery and still would offer me candy and treats. Some people just don't get it.

I think you should be ok. Just leave early and give yourself time to rest along the way. Also I would suggest an abdominal binder if you'll be standing for long periods. It sure helped me when I had to walk for long periods. Have fun!!
