It's been a struggle to maintain I'm not going to lie. I've found myself gently creeping up on the scale when I used to be 147-151 now it's more like 152-156. My goal is to be in the low 40's so still need to work on it. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

Great job Veronica!

Michigan chic where did you get your surgery done at? I'm a michigan chic too!

I entertain clients often and have found if I tell the server ahead of time and in private that I'm going to order an alcoholic drink but please make it a virgin Noone even suspects that I'm not drinking alcohol

GREAT job everyone I'm one of those daily weighed but only record it once per week. I find it interesting how weight changes daily and have grown accustomed to its variances. Today I broke a 2 week stall. I've been losing around 2 pounds a week lately and down to 177 from highest weight of 232!

Love my genepro especially the small serving size and can't taste nor smell it in foods!

Hi everyone I had my surgery January 12th and have been losing an average of 2 pounds a week which I'm extremely happy about. I drink a protein shake daily and eat a protein bar daily ( pure protein or quest). I look forward to my protein bar as I get my sweet tooth satisfied that way too! It amazes me how I can eat a cookie or a thin slice of cake with no full sensation but a only a couple of bites of chicken and I'm exploding at the seams! Overall super happy I'm sleeved & enjoy keeping updated in everyone else

Great job everyone I'm loving my new sleeve too! I'm 40 pounds down since beginning of January. 232 and now 192! I have Costa Rica in 3 weeks and have goals to reach!!

Sachimom thank you so much for the suggestions! Interesting info about the generic vs name brand as I bought the generic to save a couple bucks. And, Your vegetable stew sounds so yummy I think I may make that too! I made chicken lasagna for my family last night along with a birthday cake for my daughter and everything smelled so delicious!

I had surgery January 12th and doing pretty good. I kept getting naucious with the medicine so took some Children's Tylenol for a couple days. Still very sore on right side. I'm still on full liquids and doing good with getting it all in but I'm so hungry! Anybody else hungry?

I'm not there yet but could you get a bowl of chicken breast topped with cheese and some veggies?

I just got sleeved by Dr. Wohaibi in Saginaw Covenant and wonderful staff and Doctor. Happy with my choice!

I'm at full liquids stage and just made myself a smoothie. 2 Tbs creamy peanut butter, 1/4 cup dry milk, 1/2 cup water, 2 icecubes, 1 packet stevia, 1/2 banana amd I put a Tbs of Genepro protein or whatever protein you have. Blend it and it's really good. This recipe was given to me by NUT so it's definitely approved!

I'm officially sleeved!! As of yesterday I had my surgery. I was naucious last night but today feel much better as I've been walking the halls which helps with the gas pains. Already had my leak test and is came out good so I'm started on 33ml of water for an hour? Having someone here with me is helpful too just to help with compression socks and not having to wait for someone to walk with me.

Surgery is scheduled for tomorrow at 1pm!!!! I'm excited and nervous for this opportunity as it has been a long 7 month journey! As a result of the wait and all of you sharing your experiences I feel prepared! Thank you and God Bless

Surgery is Monday so I've just got to get through this weekend! I eat out often for work taking clients or just business meetings so I'm learning already to be smarter with my orders. Today I had french onion soup without the cheese and croutons and just sipped the broth. In hindsight maybe I should've just ordered a cup of au jus. Earlier this week I had egg drop soup and tried as much as I could to sift through the eggs. And another time instead of coffee and desserts I had hot decaf tea. The crazy thing is that no one really questioned me about my choices. It took me about the same amount of time as others to sip and sift my soups as it did for them to eat their lunches. Lesson learned I need to focus on the company and conversation and NOT on the food!

I'm having my sleeve next Monday (1/12/15) at Saginaw Covenant!

New Year New Me!!!! I just got my insurance approval and surgery date is January 12th!

Just nervously waiting for insurance approval then I'll get a date too! I'm so excited to start this new journey with all of you

Congratulations to everyone! How long did you wait for insurance approval?

Angierue Have you been approved for December or January?

Which sites did you buy Genepro from?

Having my 6 month appointment next week then submission to insurance company. I can't wait to have a date!!!

I'm pretty sure I'll be in January too. Have my 6 month visit with NUT and then the required 2 hour tell you everything class December 4th. After that insurance can be submitted, my final hurdle!

For those of you that had a C-section would you say the pain is similar, worse, not as bad? Just trying to prepare myself mentally before surgery...
