    Food dreams

    The last couple night I have been getting food dreams as well. It seems to be the same food item, crinkle cut fires. Which is odd since I rarely ever ate them.
  3. Have you tried any other brands? I like and have been living off of Premier Protein shakes (already mixed). The chocolate is my favorite followed by vanilla. I buy them from costco.
  4. Walked almost 2 miles at lunch. Something I would never have done in the past. Feels good.

    2 days post-op

    I am 2 weeks +1 day post. The first day I couldn't (or wasn't allowed ) to drink anything. Day 2 I feel like i barely got any Water in me. Day 3 and so on got easier. It will happen. Hang in there.
  6. Sorry for the gripe, but that is what this part of the forum is designated for. Tomorrow 3/25 will mark my 4th week on liquid only. Two of these weeks were pre-op and the last two post-op. I am happy with the success I have had thus far. That being said the liquid only part is just getting old. I don't have my 1st follow up appointment until next Thursday 4/2. Even then my plan says 4 weeks liquid post-op. Which for me means I have 2 more weeks of this till the next phase. I think i need a ticker just to count down till April 8th when this 4 week period will be over I know everyone who went through WLS has had this struggle at some point. I just wanted to vent for a second.

    Getting sick of this liquid only phase

    I take Iron, but not everyday. I was told Benefider was OK, but not fiber like Metamucil or anything else heavy in psyllium husk Thanks for being concerned though

    Hmm.... Week 1 weight loss, or not.

    I lost 19 lbs pre-op (360lb at surgery) and as of this morning I am 344. There is part of me that wants more. However I am only 9 days post op. I have to remind myself I didn't get this way over night so i can't expect it to come off that way. It's hard to not be a slave to the scale. I like NSV more. My clothes are fitting better and I have have been losing inches on my measurements. Stay positive and keep up the work.

    Tmi alert

    I took a half dose (15ml vs 30ml) of Milk of Magnesia. Dr. said it was OK. I took it right before bed. It seemed to help.

    Anyone else ever shop at DXL?

    I hear the underwear from there is quite comfy. So I've heard, but at $22+ a pair I'll stick to the 4 pack of Kirkland boxer briefs from costco. Those are comfy as well.

    Anyone else ever shop at DXL?

    I've been a long time shopper at DXL. I've always liked their polos, button down short sleeve shirts, cargo shorts and graphic tees. It's good quality stuff but it definitely comes at a cost. Now that I've been sleeved I look forward to never having to limit myself or shop in that store again. On a different note. My favorite jeans come from Duluth Trading Co.

    Cannot update my signature

    I've ran into a similar error and this is what worked for me. Remove ALL the tickers from your signature Update the text of your signature Add the tickers back in.

    Man boobs?

    This is something I kind of worry about too. Hell in reality I have had these moobs for almost 30 years of my life. The best I can hope for is just making them smaller.

    March Sleevers

    Jill I am on my last day of the pre-op diet. I have been averaging between 640 to 800 cals on any given day. I am down a little over 20lbs. MyFirnessPal flips out on me with what my intake is 1200, BUT that is for a normal 2lbs a week type plan.

    25 day update with pictures

    Great work. I am getting ready to be sleeved in less than 2 weeks. I'm on a similar path and reality is starting to set in. Starting at 379 and hope to be at the 215/220 range as well.

    What activities are you looking forward to doing?

    In the short term Sitting in a booth Not being fearful to fly on a plane. Not having to buy my clothes from specialty stores that charge a fortune. Long term Getting stamina back to run. I'd like to do a 5K or Mud Run someday. Like to also get back into CrossFit. Something I did a while ago and enjoyed. Hopefully I wont sweat at the drop of a hat.
