How often do you weigh yourself? Last I was weighed was at my post op on the 29th (was down 23 pounds-11 pre op 12 post op). I'm exactly two weeks and one day out (surgery was the 24th). I did not buy a scale because I did not want to become obsessed with weighing myself. What has been your scale logic? Do you find it better to weigh yourself constantly or not?

You look great! "In the end we only regret the chances that we didn't take."

Prior to surgery I have always skipped Breakfast. I never was a breakfast person however since lap sleeve surgery I have eaten or drank breakfast and now my body is doing well with it. What are some of your breakfast go to foods? "In the end we only regret the chances that we didn't take."

Thanks Everyone. I can eat regular foods so I'm loving the ideas. I usually eat eggs or egg whites or yogurt so I'm looking to change it up a bit. "In the end we only regret the chances that we didn't take."

Sounds amazing!!! "In the end we only regret the chances that we didn't take."

I'm going to try this. "In the end we only regret the chances that we didn't take."

This is the reason I've been very selective regarding who I tell about me having this surgery! So many people think it's the easy way out and on the contrary I have never done anything so hard in my life! I really wanted to launch my blog and than I put a halt on it because I really don't want or need the negativity (none of us do). Continue to be great and do great and like someone said tell them "good luck". If this was easy everyone would be doing it! "In the end we only regret the chances that we didn't take."

I'm only a month and a few days out but I like to plan ahead. What are some of your go to "snacks" since lap sleeve surgery? "In the end we only regret the chances that we didn't take."

I love hummus cheese and nuts. So these are all great snacks! Thanks everyone "In the end we only regret the chances that we didn't take."

It's a process, but nothing worth having comes easy. I would consider the pretesting and pre qualifying appts the easier part. Once you have surgery be sure to follow doctors instructions, stay focused, listen to your body and know that we are all here for you in this group! IT WILL NOT BE EASY... But the reward will be great. I'm 5 weeks post op and I've lost 42 pounds as of the 18th. I don't weigh myself regularly (personal choice) so I'm sure I've lost more. Good luck on your journey!!! You'll do great. "In the end we only regret the chances that we didn't take."

3/24 here. Down 42 pounds after weighing in on the 18th. Haven't weighed myself since than. "In the end we only regret the chances that we didn't take."

I'm in the Bronx too!! "In the end we only regret the chances that we didn't take."

I'm looking to take a bikram yoga class. Has anyone done it? More importantly I am a month and 2 days out from lap sleeve surgery, is it safe? If you've done it how did you feel? "In the end we only regret the chances that we didn't take."

Spring has arrived!!!! Yes there are tons of choices for yoga which makes it a little hard to pick. I want to become more centered mentally and physically and I've heard nothing but great things about yoga. I'm going to do exactly what you said and look up beginners yoga. I am 5 weeks out from surgery. I have lost 42 pounds thus far. Starting weight was 300 and now I'm 258. That was as of the 18th of this month. I walk everyday 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 miles and was just cleared for weight training so I will be doing that as well! How are you doing with surgery and how far out are you? "In the end we only regret the chances that we didn't take." Thanks Bigviffer!!! "In the end we only regret the chances that we didn't take."

I walk everyday 1 1/2- 2 1/2 miles. I actually start weight training this week and I'm super excited about that! I'm about 5 weeks out. "In the end we only regret the chances that we didn't take."

That's a pretty awful snack. It's got practically no Protein and is mostly carbs and it gets you started back on the carb train towards crackers and other bad stuff you should not be eating and should be avoided. I eat cheese sticks, slices of deli meat with pickle slices, carbmaster yogurt (available at Kroger), cottage cheese, pork rinds, or small amounts of mixed nuts like walnuts and almonds with a couple of low cal cheese wedges (think laughing cow). Pork rinds are ok? I would think that would be bad? "In the end we only regret the chances that we didn't take."

Can I eat nuts at this stage? "In the end we only regret the chances that we didn't take." You guys are the best!!!!!!!! "In the end we only regret the chances that we didn't take."

I have never done yoga. I need w beginners yoga first I believe. The bikram seems intense. "In the end we only regret the chances that we didn't take."

Thank you!!! Do you know of any in nyc? "In the end we only regret the chances that we didn't take."

Yes bikram yoga is hot yoga. Thank you for all the info I truly appreciate it. I've never done any type of yoga but I really want to try some type of yoga. "In the end we only regret the chances that we didn't take."

Would like to know the answer as wel. "In the end we only regret the chances that we didn't take."

What type of tracker is that? "In the end we only regret the chances that we didn't take."

Thank you!!!! "In the end we only regret the chances that we didn't take."

Today I had my one month follow up and I am down a total of 42 pounds. I don't see it yet but everyone else notices it in my face so it's really happening . My food stage has now changed.... No more purée!!!!! Very exciting day. 75 more pounds until goal weight. ???? "In the end we only regret the chances that we didn't take."
