Not buying new clothes till at goal.
ssbthodge replied to dreamingsmall's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I bought from thrift stores, rummage sales, and clearance racks. Try having a rummage sale your self to sell your clothes that no longer fit then you will have a few extra dollars to spend on yourself -
Just curious, what type of vitamins do you take and how many mg/day? The only thing my dr recommended was centrum silver multivitamin 2 per day. I started taking extra biotin since I started losing hair but not sure how much to take per day.

HOP INTO SPRING CHALLENGE!!
ssbthodge replied to Dashofpixiedust8's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Thank you!! I'm getting to the point that my weight loss is slowing way down. I'm at somewhat of a stall but I havnt really been working out or doing any exercising so if I can get that back on track I might start losing some more. Thank you for all of your encouragement and hard work! Hope everything with your surgery goes well! -

Weigh in for week June 2 188.0 -
As of today I am 4months post sleeve. I am down a total of 58.6 pounds and 38 inches combined over my body. My highest weight was 247.4 the day of surgery I was 237.4 and today I am 188.8. I started at a size 20 jeans and I'm almost able to fit into a 14. I feel so much better than I did and I have more energy. I'm so thankful I chose to go on this journey because I would have never made it this far trying on my own.

I was just wondering if anyone else was sleeved on Jan 31 and how your progress was going? As of today we are 2 months out I am down 30 pounds since surgery and I lost 10 before surgery so now down a total of 40 from my highest weight. Has anyone had any likes, dislikes, or any types of food you absolutely can't handle? So far I have not had any foods that have made me sick. A few times I have over done it and are too much and that was painful so I am trying to remember to take small bites and chew chew chew. Hope everyone is doing well! I am anxious to hear your progress!

I am 2 1/2 months out from sleeve surgery. My family is going on vacation this week. Going to be in the car for about 14 hours. Does anyone have any good tips for eating on the road? Any good snacks I should take.

Thank you all so much! This was very helpful!!!

I don't think that is weird at all. In fact that is a good thing because it means you are gaining more self confidence. Good luck on your journey

How often so you weigh in?
ssbthodge replied to maggieO's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I am a little over 2 months post sleeve and I weigh myself just about every day. This was recommended to me by my doctor. He said by tracking your weight daily you can see easily if something isn't working. For example if I know I'm not hitting my protein goal and the scale is t moving I may need to increase protein same with water.
