Hi Marisa im sorryn menifee when is your surgery? My journey is going great I had a little hiccup with some acid reflux but not ita taken care of an im doing good!!! Im on the pureed stage and so far so good im down 32lb.....how long have you had your lapband?

I have reached my first goal I had my sleeve done on April 24 i started out at 230lb and now 199lb!!!!!!! I lost the first 8lb during my 2 week pre op liquid diet and the rest after surgery. I will NEVER go back to being over 200lb and that makes me soooo happy I can't wait to hit my next goal im still getting used to my sleeve and understanding it but I love it♥

I wish I could help with the stalls I haven't had one yet but what iv reaf on other threads was to make sure your getting your water and protein in......are you measuring your good? Or snacking a lot?

Fatinthehead your doing great keep up the great work I just started my pureed stage yesterday so before that I was on full liquids and I would have a protein shake in the morning, 2oz of soup for lunch and then another 2oz of soup for dinner I was so sick of my protein shakes that I could only gag down 1 a day for a while and then yesterday I had 1 scrambled egg with mini baby bell cheese melted in for breakfast it took me over an hour to eat lol and then lunch 2oz of pureed tuna for lunch and then I made salsa chicken in the crockpot for dinner and pureed 2oz and also made some yummy acorn squash on the said I barely ate any of that because I ate lunch late and I wasnt very hungry.....and iv been walking a little I need to get better at doung it every day but some days im jusy so tires from work im a hairdresser so im on my feet all day......what are you eating and are you working out?

Wow stephsjourney thats great

You will get there it feels amazing

Thank you soooo much everyone you are all so amazing♥♥♥ keep all your great work as well

Hi Ill be a month out on Thursday amd last week I was experiencing something similar but it was a strange feeling tjat would come and go and last about 5 sec my doctor made me get blood work and a ct scan and everything came back normally and it turned ouy to be acid reflux so I take 30mg of an acid reduce and im finally feeling better I hope you figure out whats wrong talk to your dr and where exactly is the pain? Mine was right in the middle of my breast

Kale chips are yummy I pull off the leafs from the middle part (I dont know whats ots called lol) and did a rough chop and mixed it with some seasonings and olive oil ans then bake on a baking sheet at 375 and just watch and toss as it cooks and take it out when its at the crunch you like

My Doctor is really strict....I was on clear liquids for 2 weeks then full liquids for 2 weeks(one week left of this phase I was sle on April 24th) and then pureed for 2 weeks!

I have 5 incisions and they were glued....my surgeon said I could shower the second day (no bathtub soaking) and I haven't experienced pain on any of my incisions but they do itch its because they are healing im 10 days post-op

You are amazing!!!! An inspiration to all of us sleevers keep up the amazing work♥

Heyyyy!!!! Im April 24th.....im starting to get a little nervous, im just ready to not have the hunger pains, and really excited to see how much I change physical, and mentally good luck to all April Sleevers♥

Im on my pre op "diet" as well i have 3 more days till surgery, and I know how hard it is. I just keep telling myself that its not worth it, because it could potentially put off surgery, and thats not an option for me. And it really help for some strange reason, but today is hard! Im currently sitting in my in laws living room while they all eat Easter dinner. Good luck to you love your going to do great
