    Time off of work?

    If I had too I could have went back to work in two weeks, but Sitting up in a chair was uncomfortable for me . As my stomach was healing from the inside I would get sharp pains and the only comfort was to stand and walk around. I took 4 weeks off .
  6. I do the same as you . I eat meat meat and oh yea meat. I drink a premiere protein shake half at a time . Your body can't absorb all that protein at one time. I eat a egg a day and a 100 cal Greek yogurt . I love the p3 protein snacks and turkey jerky bites. I was eating seafood but my hair was thinning so I switched to cooking beef patties ( for iron) on George Forman with sautéed mushroom and onions peppers . I am a slow and steady 2 pounds per week looser .
  7. Yep I'm the one your looking for lol. Sleeved april 7th
  8. Ejjohn it's hard to compare just numbers. But yours are good slow and steady! Try to limit carbs . I lose more when I eat fish or shrimp Maybe that will help.
  9. Anyone using these DVD for treadmill ? I have a Florida nature trail and I love walking with it . I would like to find another walking trail DVD so I don't get bored . I don't like the walks thru cities they are too busy for me. Looking for reference on another one .
  10. I had to get new clothes ( pants falling down) . It was fun for a change!! I was able to get clothes I liked and not just because they fit. Went from a 22 to a size 16 in 4 months ! Didn't buy much because I plan on getting even smaller !! I'm a slow but steady 2 pound a week loser
  11. What are these bp challenges ?

    size 10 jeans

    Yea !!! I'm in a 16 but I'm hoping to be in a 10 one day! ( was 20)
  13. A coworker of mine got pregnant shortly after being sleeved . She has had the baby and has gained all of her weight back. She snacked all day long . I think of her and it helps me keep on track. Im choosing fashionable clothes that don't have an x on the size instead of fast food!

  15. Sleeved April Sw 264 Surgery weight 245 Now 190!! This week everyone is commenting on my weight loss. I went from a 2 xl scrubs to L . Only a few people know I was sleeved, which has led to a lot of gossip at work . I just Grin and wave ... Haha. I'm hoping to buy several outfits at a boutique next week. I use to only wish I could shop there and now I can !! I really watch my carbs and mainly focus on Protein and fluids as suggested .

    How long to drink shake?

    You will need to drink 30 min before or after meals. If I dink too soon I get bad chest pains. When I was in early stages I was told to sip every 5 minutes. I treated premiere shakes just like any fluid.

    Food intolerences

    So far the only food that bothered me was corn . I can eat roast but not a lot . I haven't tried bread or steak. I'm 4 months out. I lose more weight when I eat seafood .

    Size 22 to a size 16

    Very nice! When where you sleeved? I was sleeved in April and was in in a 22 now 16 also !

    sugar free cookies

    What about the carbs? I don't know if it would be worth it.
  21. For condiments such as cheese sour cream mayo etc I document under snack , just type the word in and change the serving size to the correct Amount . Try using spaghetti squash instead of the real noodles or cauliflower to eliminate the carbs. I cut the ends off of spaghetti squash and microwaved it for 10 minutes and had perfect noodles .
  22. What's your opinion on taste?
  23. What name brand of B1 are you taking, that is small and doesn't taste bad. The one I have has that strong vitamin stink to it. I'm looking for another brand. Hopefully a small gel capsule.

    Constipated

    I keep milk of mag when I get bad. To help prevent it I try to add a little mirilax to my drink or take a stool Softener and drink more fluids. Today I bought some dried prunes I'm going to start taking one a day !
