Any March 2017 sleevers! Let's share info!
Irish Girl in NW replied to Irish Girl in NW's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
MX... congrats on your loss!!! WTG!! This is truly a journey where we will encounter great times and not so great times. Stalls are hardest for me as I work so hard to keep on task for everything I am supposed to do. To not see a result is hardest for me. But...they will end! You can probably see patience is not one of my virtues!! Haha. -

Amy! Congrats on your loss!!! This is a journey for all of us! We will succeed! I keep telling myself that it is not a race....that some weeks I won't lose anything and some I will. As long as I stick to the plan, it will happen. I love all the encouragement we can give to each other as well!! Have a great day!! -

Berry! Great suggestions!!! I will have to try some of those!!! Cheese is not my friend. I had a teeny cube of colby jack and ugh! Will have to wait and try that later!! How does peanut butter settle on your stomach? I haven't tried that but love pb! -

De....nice weight loss! I can eat better in the morning and at lunch. Dinners are another story. I get extremely full extremely fast. But! I can drink more in the evenings .... just what I need, right before going to sleep! My life...extremely crazy! -

I do the same thing and get that feeling of "oh nooooo....this is gonna hurt in a second!" Lol. Good job on the loss!! How is your food intake going? I just started soft foods and it's trial and error. I am limiting carbs and eat protein first and then my veggies. I am exercising 4 times a week and starting to run again which makes me happy!! Thanks for the info on the liquids. It sure helps to see what everyone posts about -- all of the new things on this cool journey we are on!! [emoji4] -

We are just about the same! I am 5 weeks out and have lost 34! -
Sleeved on 3-21. I too had the dreaded 3 week stall! I literally did throw away my scale!! Stomped out and tossed it right in the trash can. Lol. I went and bought a new scale....no difference. [emoji17]. I went a week and the scale started moving again. All is fine now! And....Although I don't recommend throwing away a scale....I do have a much cuter bathroom scale now. [emoji4]

Any tips on chewing slowly?
Irish Girl in NW replied to B.Annie's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Same here. I am on soft foods and although I have not thrown up, I have ate too fast and just felt awful---like someone was kneading my stomach like a making a loaf of bread. I try and take 30 to 45 mins to eat....it's not fun to keep running to the microwave to keep warming my little portion up but better than feeling like a Mac truck ran over my Stomach! It's a learning process for sure! -
The dreaded 3-week stall strikes again!!!! Only weighing once a week, jumped right on this morning hoping to see a nice size loss.....only a .3 weight loss??? How can that be?? My calorie intake is only about 400-500? The Laws of logic don't match up. Bummed. [emoji20]
