Sunny80

You're so pretty, and you look amazing! Thank you so much, such a nice thing to say!!!

HW 358 CW 201 GW 165 157 lbs down 19 months out

You all inspired me. I am on day two of liquids. I stalled on weight loss for two weeks so a jumpstart was exactly what I need.

This is my first post although I have been reading the forum for months. My first date to meet with the surgeon was November 12, 2014. I got insurance approval Feburary 25 and my surgery date is March 30. I am so happy and excited. I am compiling the list of items to take to the hospital seems like must haves are chapstick, biotene, and slippers. I am also trying to prepare for after Protein powder, Vitamins etc. If anyone has any advice and/or anyone also getting sleeved in March I am all ears.

Red meat upsets my stomach. Anything with too much fat or butter makes me go to the restroom all night. Seems like a lot of things causes issues. I am good with chicken or fish.

You look amazing, great job!!

Surgery March 30, down 68 lbs

Great work!! I have lost 60 lbs so far, stalling for the last 12 days. I eat around 700 calories. I need to increase my exercise. All in all I feel so much better 60 lbs lighter even with a picky sleeve

Oh no, I hope you have a speedy recovery!

My weight begins with a "2", yay!!! It's been probably 8 years since that has happened.

Thank you! That is so exciting no more plus sizes, wow!

Hi Sunny80! I was told that we store estrogen in our fat cells and am wondering if maybe when it's released into our systems we get PMS-like symptoms. I have days like that too. Fortunately it seems to go away as quickly as it appears. Hope you're feeling better soon! Maybe that's it. Thank you for the reply! Hopefully tomorrow is better.

I feel so emotional today, I have no idea what my problem is. I haven't felt like this since the first week or two. Anyone else experience this?

Don't get down on yourself. 25 lbs is great!! Just keep with the plan and hang in there.

51 lbs is amazing!!!!!!

It will move! I was surprised to see that I've lost 5 pounds since Saturday, after no loss for 22 days, and even up and down 2 pounds during that time. Start moving a little more.. Get your heart rate up a bit more than walking. Thanks Chrystee!!! I'm not released to do anything except walk yet, but I could definitely increase my steps.

Went up 0.8 pounds today, it is frustrating when this happens!!!! I have been weighing myself about every 3 days. I get that there will be fluctuations but it still is bothersome. I have stayed within my nutritional goals and am walking, hopefully it will start trending back down soon

I have only been walking, I am not yet released to do anything else. Usually 1-1.5 miles/day.

I weigh myself every 1-3 days, but it has been SLOW.

Thanks, I'm sure with time things will get better!!!

I went back to work yesterday and it was rougher than I imagined. It hurt to sit in my chair and I felt crummy overall. Today I had off and am so fatigued, anyone else have this? Also at work I ate a little too much egg salad and my heart raced for a couple minutes.

Puree day, yay!!! I had my usually protein shake in the morning, puree egg salad for lunch, and puree turkey meatballs with marinara for dinner. I only got about 2 oz down of each but it was tasty. The only thing is the burping after, jeez! What did everyone have?

Just keep up the good work!!! That was rude of your Nut.

Some people subtract fiber, might be a question for the dietician. Good question.

I was thinking eggs, refried bean (but maybe not), chicken, ricotta bake. Possibly tuna or flaky white fish. I have been using myfitnesspal everyday
