Took a nice break; back to read some info; I have my first consult/appt next week on the 19th. FInally coming around. On the downside, my insurance company is requiring me to do all the weight management part again, because there wasn't a CONSECUTIVE documented doctor visits. Ugh. I went from March 2016 to Dec 2016; and only Sept was documented in between. But I'm trying to stay positive. It shall pass.

I am down a buck and a quarter as of this morning! That number is not round, but then again, neither am I - any more! 125 has a nice feel to it for some reason. Haha, tomorrow is my three month anniversary since surgery.

Week six has been a struggle. Mental hunger. I'm finding my sleeve to not preventing me from eating just about anything. Also I could be grazing all day if I wanted to. I now measure my food, but it doesnt help. but it's scary to think even after this procedure,If I could, I would.

Did you think it would stop you from choosing what and when to eat? That's not how it works, unfortunately.
It's hard, but you can do it. Make sure what you're eating is mostly protien, as that keeps you fuller longer. Also, I ate evert 2 hours on a schedule for well over a year. That helps, and you're not really grazing doing that, just eating small meals through out the day. Now I eat every 3 hours. I'm at goal and have been for over a year, so it's worked for me.

Thanks @Babbs! I needed to hear this. I just thought I would come out having a real aversion to food. But in a way I'm thankful and blessed not have anything extreme of the sort. It's all about self-control. I've realized that now. I am having smaller meals, with snacks scheduling water in between to meet my goals. It's all about protein. AND some fiber. I've learned from an episode with constipation to not solely rely on just protein.

Man, oh man... I've lost about 5 lbs in the last 5 weeks. I'm only 7 out from surgery. I'm considering it a stall... and I'm super frustrated!
-
Nope, not a stall. You are losing. If you don't lose or gain for more than a week you are stalling. You already have a lower BMI totally normal for it to slow down...when I was banded at 180ish it took me 3 months to get to 170 and then another 6 get to 160. You just need to be patient. You are losing. At whatever rate it is better than gaining or stalling.

Sick of Right Side Pain. Nothing dramatic, just there. Have two week on Friday.
-
A minor stall broke today. My pants are trying to fall off and multiple people who aren't aware of my surgery and have been seeing me on a regular basis made comments about me losing weight.

Day 4 after surgery: getting all my liquids in, no nausea, no vomiting. Taking only 4 pills a day (three of which are temporary), down from 11 in the morning and 5 at night. No insulin for 5 days, perfect blood sugars before and after every meal.

Diet Fail: Did good on day two of my carb diet..until I fell asleep. I woke up about a hour later, thristy and confused. Drank glass of lemonade juice and ate a fajita taco..then "woke" up and thought. Crap!! I was SO out of it, then I ate some other crap I should not have (chocolate milk! and corn chips). Jesus..Get it together. Today is day three of my attempt. I WILL drink more water today, as that was likely was triggered it. I had fallen asleep with a nice cup of tea by my hand..had.

@Fredbear I have a teenager, although I am thinking that he can do plain/crystal light water for awhile. The chips came with the Angus steak tacos from across the street, we don't have chip/cookie bags in the house. I will say, yesterday, was MUCH better. I went into work. I DID eat some more of those stupid chips in the morning, so carb count was off, but, nothing else bad for the whole day! That is important, as the evenings are when I fail, so I am now 24 hours without excessive carbs. 10 days left of pre-surgery. Hope it is enough to count. Yesterday I had jerky, hamburger (no bun, no catsup)..then later some Fajita meat and pecans, Sugar free jello and tea...I made a pot of boiled eggs and will do some other prep today. I am also cutting my caffeine, which is HORRIBLE. Kill me slowly or kill me cold turkey-not sure which is worse

I am about 8 weeks post op and just hit a milestone! I am now officially down 50 pounds! I struggled when I was able to go back to actual food, not to fall back into old habits, but after a 2 week stall, I am back on track and more determined than ever.
-
Three weeks after surgery and my first day of work...I'm exhausted!!! But, getting back to a routine will help me structure my drinking, exercise, and eating. Happy to be at this point.
-
All pre-op labs done! One appointment with the surgeon to go, and the pre-op class. 2 weeks!
-
3 month appointment went well. My vitamin D is a little low, but everything else was great. Down 63 pounds since 1 week pre op!

I haven't been on Bariatric Pal in a long while. I need to refocus! Weight loss has been at a stall and I have been a bad girl...
-
Wow, nice. Weighed during my visit with family over the Halloween weekend. Averaging about 5 pounds lost a week. Awesome.
-
Disappointment. My work is demanding and just when I put in my leave, it turns out there is another work "emergency" that sets me back for another week. I'm getting anxious about scheduling for another surgery date.
-
Thanks for all the comments. I thought Id decide to just take care of it, so that I could not only have a peace of mind, but also get a real chance at resting and recuperating from the surgery without any interruptions or worries. Furthermore, In my line of work, theres plenty of blame to go around. Great work but all of that End of the year bs. Going Forward, I will definitely put myself first. After all, I'm all that I have. Thanks again.

Hit my first stall but I'll be patient. On the bright side, a shirt I loved now fits again. Yay!
-
About to head into week 5, and that means whole pieces of meat. One step closer to a "normal" diet.
-
I don't actually know, I haven't weighed since my last doctor's appointment, which was a little over two weeks ago. I will record my weight again at my next doctor's appointment, whenever that is The scale has always been my enemy when it comes to weight loss, it affects me mentally too much. So I'm not in any hurry to weigh!

I am happy to say there were NO problems with the new foods today. It is nice to have some new choice. One week until scrambled eggs!

Two weeks post-op today. I have lost 16.5 pounds since surgery day and over 115 pounds overall!
-
One week to go... It seems surreal!!!
-
Keep your fingers crossed for me....On Friday I finally had an epidural injection in my thoracic spine to try to get my mid back and rib pain to improve. This particular pain has been plagueing me for 1 1/2 years following my cervical fusion. Yesterday was the first time in 1 1/2 years that I had NO pain! Today I have pain but it is mild and totally tolerable. It takes a full week before you know the results of an epidural completely but I am so very hopeful that we finally found the cause and have treated it properly.

Ok, I'm irritated. I just wanted to *read* the Great One-Week Pork Chop Post and can't find it. Back to real life, I guess
