Checking in...... H W - 246 S W - 235 C W - 178 TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS - 67 lbs. Feeling pretty good. One of my fat rolls on my back is gone. Yeahhhhh! No longer have a double chin either' I can eat whatever I like so that is good. So many times I allowed my eyes instead of my stomach determine my hunger only to he disappointed. Was on size 2/ now in size 16. #lovin the new me.

I love the Pure Protein-chocolate and peanut butter bars. It has 20 grams of protein and 2grams of sugar. I get them from Walmart.

For the winter I wore tights from Lane Bryant and tops from Ross. The tights have taken me from size 22 to my current size 16.....and they still fit.

Update VSG Dec 17, 2013 HW-245 SW-226 Current Weight- 194 Lost - 61 lbs total. Started at size 22 now size 16. One if my back fat rolls disappeared!!!! Yeahhhh I recognize my face again. I am loving the new ME.

HW---245. VSG date - 12/17/13 SW---235. 5ft 5 inche CW---198 Total weight loss --47 lbs Tuesday I get to eat anything except for steak and raw veggies! Yeahhhhh Went from size 20 to 16. When I first had the surgery I wasn't sure I would make it through the first 6 weeks. Sick of Protein shakes and soft foods. 47 lbs later the joy if wearing clothes that are too big is unbelievable. I am so glad I made the decision. I really wish I did it a long time ago. My goal us to get down to 135lbs. I can start exercising next week which should help a lot!

Went to my NUT Monday. Starting weight 245 Surgery weight 235 Current weight 198 ----------------------- Total loss 47lbs in 5 weeks Starting 6th today Happy to be down from size 20 to 16. Woot! Woot!

HW-247. SW-237. CW-200. Total weight loss --- 47 lbs Hit a stall with no weight loss week 3-4. Had to give up my 18-20 jeans so I am excited.

Surgery date December 17, 2014. Welcome to the club. Bored with what food I can eat but very happy with the weight loss thus far. Hit a stall at week 3 but it appears to be the norm. Will weigh myself tomorrow to see if my stall is over. BEST NEWS....had to give up my size 18&20 jeans because they are too big. My belt is now on the third hole---yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh me!

I HATE cold food. Having to eat a small amount slowly is driving me nuts. Waiting between bites so it doesn't hurt is smart but cold food at the end is nasty. Hopefully this too will pass. 4 weeks out!

I had my sleeve on December 17, 2013. I went through a stall at week three too. I got frustrated and took the advice of the people on this website and stopped weighing myself daily because, I was getting frustrated. I haven't weighed myself in a week or so but I did wear some pants I haven't worn in five years. Gooooo. ME! Keep eating.....and drinking.....and walking.... We will get there. Slowly but surely.

Regarding your coming over......it's simple! If she does not call first DO NOT ANSWER THE DOOR. It doesn't matter if she knows you are home...don't answer. I had to do this to my sister-in laws when I had my first child. Regarding your mother in your business about your loans and how you run your house....when age starts in on you...CHANGE THE SUBJECT. Every time she comes back to it change it again. For example, if she asks why are you cooking the chicken that way...respond with MOM WHAT DID YOU DO TODAY. Do not oh back and forth with her because it only makes it worse. Suggest she get a hobby Ito occupy her time. See if there is a recreation center in your area with senior events and offer to go with her a few times. Hope this helps. (Not yelling with the all caps) :-)

I am in week three also and seem to have stalled. Still have pain eating my soft foods so I retreated back to my protein shakes. I am getting sick of those so I noted some others that are referenced on this site. I really appreciate everyone's contributions. This site has been a HUGE help. SD - 12/17/13 Down 32 lbs

Good - I can exercise for thirty minutes without feeling like I am going to die - I love the feeling of loose clothes -I have four sizes in my closet and enjoying getting to wear my favorites again Bad -I do not like having to eat/drink all day to get the Protein consumed -it hurts when you don't chew your food enough - constipation -milk of magnesia gies me diarrhea. Going to try the Smooth Moves tea. Still no regrets. Glad I made the decision. Hopefully most of this will subside in time.
