suesleeved

I've had an acne issue too since wls...sleeved 1/20/15...on another note. .I hit onderland yesterday! So..pretty happy...zits and all lol :-D

Made it to Onederland! 199.6. Not going to make goal but super happy! !!

I got really depressed and mad too...took about 3 weeks for me to snap out of it. My aunt said you are not yourself. .you seem unhappy and I snapped back that's because I am! It was a moment for me to even say it out loud...I was not happy. I have since found my happy. I am 9 weeks post op and hit onderland and have been exercising. I'm sorry your husband is having a hard time..but I think it's kind normal in a weird kind of way...if he's open to it..definitely seek help if he doesn't snap out of it. ...every weight loss journey is different. Hope this helps. :-)

I did it!! Onederland! 199.7!!! I was soooo happy! Thank you all for your support and encouragement! You are all awesome! !!

Im 202.8...can hardly stand it! :-) Im almost 9 weeks out have lost 28lbs (slow loser ) but lost 28 pre op and my highest recorded weight of 258lbs in August. So, im down 56lbs...I'm very happy with that. Good luck to you devillyn and amponder. We can do this!

202.8 ..thank you Susan :-)

204.6 this week thank you Susan :-)

I was sleeved 1/20/15 and have lost 24lbs since surgery but I did drop 28 pre op so down 52. I still have 80lbs to go and am in a stall also. I am stuck at 206 and want to get to onderland so bad....:-) I have been frustrated and happy all in one day. I'm thankful for the opportunity and what life brings my way..but have to confess to being frustrated at times. I love that everyone shares on here. It helps me so much! Thank you my friends!

Hello...206.2 thank you!

Hello, cw 207.5. I'd like to revise my goal also if possible to 195.0. Thank you. Have a great day!

I found these dole dark chocolate frozen strawberries they have bananas too, it's like 60 cal per serving. I'm not promoting chocolate but I've had them pre and post opt and it was very satisfying. A pack is 4 half strawberries dipped in dark chocolate...not a lot of sugar..I like it...I like it a lot lol

I also had my surgery 1/20, I've just started to eat soft food. Today I tolerated the most food. I've had egg salad get stuck one day and tolerate it another day. Sleeve's are weird lol my sleeve liked scrambled eggs with cheese though. Today I had a grilled chicken tender and a few pieces of very steamed broccoli. So far so good. Also ate a whole premier protein bar which was awesome. I've been drinking 3_4 shakes a day to get my protein. Also, I rarely get my 64 oz of water. I get about 40 oz ish. I'll keep trying. Oh and since surgery I've lost 21lbs but 50lbs since pre opt and hw and I'm 8.9 away from onederland... Anyway, just wanted to let y'all know what I'm doing. Oh have you tried jerky? I'd love too but am concerned my sleeve may need another month or so ....please let me know if you can tolerate it. ????????

@@Selena I am just starting my wls journey. I was sleeved on 1/20/15. I lost almost 30lbs pre surgery so thought I could get to 120. So far have been losing slower than I'd like but not exercising alot until after 6 weeks which is next Tuesday. Then will swim and do Zumba and everything I can. I would be good with 130, but we'll see. Hoping for 120. It's up to me to get there. Idk about excess skin or if I'll have plastic surgery. I will have a tummy issue after weight loss is done but depending on how my body responds to exercise. .well I'll cross that bridge then. Hope this helps. Thanks!

I'd love to participate. CW 209.9 GW 190.0 Thank you @@Susan11803!

I'm also 5 ft even and my original goal was 130..but I think now 120...I want room if I gain...guess I'll see where my body wants to stop...

I think I had this and it went undiagnosed. Omg..thank you for posting. I had the sleeve 4 weeks ago and am doing pretty good.

Thank you Jaimie and Diva. I know everyone's journey is different in my head. I'm 12.1 away from onederland and completely excited about that! Thanks again!

I also had surgery on 1/20/15...about lost my mind during my stall. I'm losing but not as fast as others. My hw 258, sw 230 cw 213.1. So, only 17 lbs in 4 weeks. I'm happy and know I'll get there but dang it's not the easiest thing I've ever done lol this site has helped me 100%. Thank you everyone for sharing. It really helps other. Good luck!

I was 4 weeks yesterday and am on puree until week 5.. but tried some rotisserie chicken, refried Beans, avocado, chicken noodle Soup and a tiny bit of mashed potatoes. Did ok, but chicken made me constipated (TMI sorry) I still drink 3 Protein drinks and add some powder to non fat Greek yogurt .forgot that. Oh and a few homemade smoothies. I'm looking forward to eating cheese sticks again and fish and more chicken. It's crazy to dream about chicken lol going to try an egg soon!

Hello all! I had the Gastric Sleeve on January 20, 2015. I've already experienced the famous stall and was about as frustrated as most of you. I have appreciated all of the posts and information I've found here. You all have helped me tremendously! So, I'm not someone who posts alot, not even on my Facebook, but just really felt the need to share a bit. I'm 44, been overweight since I was 22 (after birth of my son) and finally just had it. I was able take a leave from work and finally do this! Best decision ever! So, stats. .hw recorded 258 in August 2014..sw 230, currently 217.7. 19 days out...not bad. ..looking forward to a healthier, happier me! Good luck everyone. *wanted to add I'm only 5ft tall ????

Yes! I think mine has to do with not enough exercise. I'm 19 days out and have had quite a bit of inscion/muscle pain so have made myself take it easy. I over did it like about 12 days out and hurt myself a bit..but I'm going kinda kukoo for coco puffs lol good luck...try a bath at night. I'm a huge reader, so I do that.
