I'm in -- goal will be 219. Thank you again!

Final Weigh In: 244 (so close!) Thanks again for doing this!

What have you vets done? If I let my husband get one with the super sugary frosting he likes, I won't even be tempted because I like the whipped frosting. If anyone has any good ideas for sugar-free or other alternatives, I would be happy to hear them! Thanks

Great ideas!! Thanks ❤️

My PCP and surgeon let me take Tylenol PM.

5/18/15 = 247 lbs Thank you!

Surgery Date: 3/26/15 Surgery Weight: 302 Current Weight: 249 Pre Surgery size-20 Current size-20 (WTH?) Concerns: I had to have IV fluids x2 the first few weeks post op. Going back to work after 3.5 weeks made all the difference with getting in the Protein and fluids - until week 6 where I'm supposed to use a fork to eat everything. If I only have 2-4 bites of each meal, there aren't enough hours in the day to get enough protein in without a shake. So I'm a rebel and having a shake every morning. Joys: My 8yo daughter can put her arms around me with her fingers touching No more CPAP No more constant sweating Exercise: I have good days and not-so-good days. It is amazing that I used to dread a 1/2 mile walk. Now I go 3+ miles and feel great!

I had an egg with a little bit of salsa for dinner last night. The salsa wasn't too spicy and now, the next morning, I feel like someone punched me in the stomach. I take prescription prilosec daily. ???? I usually have my morning shake right now, but I don't know if I can "stomach" it. Anyone else with this type of feeling after eating? It's not pleasant!

5/11/15 = 249 lbs Thanks - Happy Monday!

Good thing teachers get three months off in the summer! Totally kidding - I have many teacher friends and you are lucky to get a few weeks off. Hang in there!!!

I've been off work since surgery on 3/26. I'm still having trouble getting even close to 60 grams of protein and 64 oz of water. I've just been a b---- today! Don't want to go back. It's an accounting desk job so it shouldn't be bad. Ugh. Anyone else have trouble going back?

I get my vitamins from CVS.

I'm from Cedar Rapids and was sleeved on 3/26/15. Dr Glascock at Sartori in Cedar a Falls was my surgeon. Best wishes to you!!!

Hi -- I am having a difficult time with my large Centrum chewables. The taste is gagging me and I haven't taken one for over a week. I already take a Flintstone chewable for additional Vitamin C, so taking more of those is not an option. What do you all take for your multi-vitamin? I have my 6-week appointment this week so I will also talk to my NUT. Thank you!!

5/4/15 = 252 lbs Thank you!

It's a beautiful Spring day! NSV - my husband has been taking time to do family walks every night -- in addition to his psychotic running schedule.

4/27/15 = 255 Thank you!

4/20/15 = 258 Thanks!

Post, please

Starting weight = 267 Goal weight = 242 Thank you for doing this!

I'm 43, 2 weeks post-op

I am hoping my extra pains are due to having my GB taken out, too? Anyone else in the same boat?

I'm in! My goal for Memorial Day = 240. Thank you!

I'm 3 weeks into my 4 week clear liquid diet- 2 pre-op and 2 post-op. My diet consists of drinking Protein shakes, Water, diluted juice, and decaf tea. I've been emitting an awful odor from inside my body. It's coming out of my pores and my breath reeks. It's such an odd smell!! Beyond eating carbs there doesn't seem to be a "cure". What are you doing to deal with this?

Ordered. Thank you!
