Does anyone else binge-watch cooking shows now, or is it just me? [emoji28] SW: 350 / CW: 318 / GW: 200 Sleeved April 13, 2017

Haha glad to know I'm not alone!! I'm 8 seasons deep into Top Chef and I have no intention to stop! Chili episode at the moment- can't wait to try my hand at Turkey Chili!! SW: 350 / CW: 318 / GW: 200 Sleeved April 13, 2017

I am approaching the end of my third week... and I went from 318 to 320?!? Granted, I had half of a protein shake before I weighed myself, but 2 pounds seems a bit much of an increase!? What's happening... I have done NOTHING different in my diet.... Freaking out here SW: 350 / CW: 318 / GW: 200 Sleeved April 13, 2017

RIGHT? God I saw these cute shorts that had lace in the pockets and thought "one day." The back rack at Target is a joke. Maternity clothes ARE NOT FAT CLOTHES!! I need fat clothes. [emoji23] SW: 350 / CW: 318 / GW: 200 Sleeved April 13, 2017

Whew- that's comforting... spooked me for a minute. I was wondering if it was the protein shakes that were hindering me. Thank you ladies SW: 350 / CW: 318 / GW: 200 Sleeved April 13, 2017

Aw, sleeve twins [emoji28] How are you doing with yours?? SW: 350 / CW: 318 / GW: 200 Sleeved April 13, 2017

I ate my egg 1 day early, not gonna lie. However- I know where you're coming from. I'm closing my third week on Wednesday, and that's when I get to start shaved turkey, greek yogurt, soft fish, etc. I WANNA DO IT NOWWWWW- but I won't. There's a reason I was told to wait and I'm sure in hindsight I will be glad I did. Good luck- I'm rooting for ya!!! SW: 350 / CW: 318 / GW: 200 Sleeved April 13, 2017

This sounds so weird, but my absolute number one goal is to go to Walmart or Target- and be able to fit into their cute size 18 and below shorts. I see them everytime I go, and REALLY want to wear them. I guess that fits under the "go into any store and buy anything you see" category. I also want to be able to have the energy to do ANYTHING at ANY TIME of the day. Ahhh, a girl can dream. SW: 350 / CW: 318 / GW: 200 Sleeved April 13, 2017

I usually start to get a pressure in my chest. Sometimes I deep breathe and feel it getting tight- that's when I know to either slow down or take my last bite. I don't weigh anything due to only being allowed one egg a day, however next week I get to start more proteins. Once you eat, you will know your limit. I am only 3 weeks out so I am also experimenting. Good luck! SW: 350 / CW: 318 / GW: 200 Sleeved April 13, 2017

I am officially 2 weeks post-op and today is the day I get my ONE egg! I have been patiently waiting for this moment. I made it soft-boiled, with a touch of salt and pepper. I'm about halfway done- and getting full. This is crazy! I remember when I could knock out a 4-egg omelette to myself! Next week I get to start yogurts, shaved turkey, soft fish, etc. For now? This egg is the bomb!! So tired of liquids [emoji23] SW: 350 / CW: 321 / GW: 200 Sleeved April 13, 2017

Wow- that's great. Thank you for the insight, I'll definitely try to manage. A food journal seems like a smart idea! SW: 350 / CW: 318 / GW: 200 Sleeved April 13, 2017

Wow congrats on 7 months! I am surely looking forward to moving through the stages. Any advice you could give on managing the water intake? I feel like after my egg I can drink anything more! Extremely difficult. SW: 350 / CW: 318 / GW: 200 Sleeved April 13, 2017

Yaaayy! That's awesome! Tomorrow I'll be trying mine scrambled - it's so exciting [emoji23] I'm going to try a new way to prepare it everyday so it doesn't get boring. SW: 350 / CW: 318 / GW: 200 Sleeved April 13, 2017

Holy crap the chocolate shake is EVERYTHING [emoji7] THANK YOU!! SW: 350 / CW: 318 / GW: 200 Sleeved April 13, 2017

Hmmm- that's a good point. I send my brother out to pick me up a pack- chocolate and strawberry cream. Will update on how it goes. Thanks! SW: 350 / CW: 318 / GW: 200 Sleeved April 13, 2017

Oh man, hashed browns sound good right about now! [emoji23] Yes, I can definitely see where I went wrong in my diet before. The amount I was consuming before was ridiculous! Forever grateful for this tool. Glad to hear it's working well for you, too!! SW: 350 / CW: 318 / GW: 200 Sleeved April 13, 2017

I was sleeved on 4/13 and I had a similar experience. No pain, except gas pain. Man, that was brutal for about 5 days. I'm 2 weeks post-op and anxious to have my ONE EGG [emoji23] Haven't tried the Premier Protein shakes, though... the carbs scare me. I'm already 30 lbs down. Don't want to derail myself!!
