Thursdady we had to o to the dr for Lee and afterwards we stopped at dairy queen. Yes I know not very nutritional. But it was the only thing around. (Little town) So I ordered one of their grilled chicken wraps with cheese. Looked it up and it was only 200 calories. Not to bad. I ate 4 french fries of Lees. I ate so fast that by the time we got out to the truck my stomach hurt so bad. I really wanted to throw-up. So Friday I was back on LIquids again.. Oh well live and learn.

I forgot about my baby stomach, Little Sleevie Wonder, and stuffed it way too fast with half of a small banana and peanut butter. It was too much food and now Little Sleevie hates me.

Hey Lady, how are you doing? I am doing well. Finally starting to eat better. Get full really fast. Lost about 30 lbs so far including pre op. How about you? I am able to drink liquid more easily also. Had my follow up today with my doc. He said I could start taking pills again so once I finish my chewables, I can do tablets. I can start eating vegetables( I missed them). Hope you are doing goo...

hi Orangina, My Insurance approved me the same day, Oxford Freedom, I don't know your insurance but they usually can get approval fast if your bmi is 40 or above. Today I started my modified fast. 3 protein shakes and a low fat meal. really not so bad. The protein I'm using is not so great. The one you had sounds good, maybe I'll check out gnc tomorrow. thanks for the tip.

Hi Hopeful. Well it is all starting to come fast now. Yesterday, I was shocked to realize I had one week until pre-op liquids. I have been very busy lately also. My sister had her lower leg amputated on Thursday (diabetes) and I am the only family in the area so I have been at the hospital a lot. My son may be up at Harvard for a debate tournament in Feb so maybe we can meet!

800 calories is ok though. Prilosec is so wonderful! Saved me many times! I am down 34lbs (lost 2 lbs overnight) had a 3 day stall at 233.2 but 231.2 this am! woohoo! I am eating normal stuff, but no raw veggies or fruits like you.Nothing has given me too much trouble as of yet.although i did eat about 4-6oz of smoothie too fast and had to stick my fingers down my throat! Yuk! Glad 2 talk 2 u!

Everythings pretty goodl. I am stalling, but on my own choosing. I can lose weight toooo fast and then I look sick, so I'm just trying to let my body catch up. I've holding steady at 187 for a few weeks. I am in a size 12 jeans and when I had my surgery in August I used to wear a 26 jeans. I still would like to get to single digits in jeans, but it will come when I am ready TTYL baby girl.

Hi Bugwitch - I see you're going to Dr. Aceves. You will love him!! Get ready because the time flies fast.

My weight loss is neither fast nor slow. It is what it is. I'm losing weight, feeling great, and trying to remain patient and THANKFUL!! I am eternally grateful for all the support I've been given here, on this forum, and from family and friends at home.

sooooo frustrated I have to loose 17 pounds before I can get scheduled for surgery So now I am going to start the opti fast early does anyone know how much weight can be loss on opti fast within a week

freaking out a little bit!! Everything is moving so fast now!!

I'm coming up on a year. My weight loss has not be as fast as I'd like, but my health has greatly improved.

4+ weeks until surgery, Wow is it going fast!!!! the count down is on

I just got through voting, the polls had just opened a few minutes after I got in a long line and then went rather fast. So my votes count! Can't wait to see the end results of who wins this election.

On my 7th day of L.Q. Diet, one week to go! November 6th is coming fast!

On my way to the airport, heading back to Cali. Sad that my vacation went by so fast. I will be homesick for sure! Not looking forward to working the next couple of nights in a row and starting a new class this week. Gonna miss my family.

Well I guess I better get up! I have to work some today, buy baseboards, get the baseboards painted and get my paper for school written... It's going to be a long day. On a side note....I am sad to see a great competition year come to an end. We had our last dance competition with Inspire Dance studio yesterday. We are excited for the new year but this last one seemed to go fast. Love our friends we have made with Inspire.

3wks, 2 days post op. It's gone really fast. Was on a stall for about 10 days, but I lost another pound yesterday. Why didn't anyone warn me about this week 3 stall business? LOL...Well in the big picture 20lbs in 3 week is awesome. Hope you all are doing well.

Listening to the wind blowing hard and fast as Issac approaches us.

Is it just me, or is there anyone out there who's spouse is literally upset over you getting the sleeve and losing so much weight so fast? she is following my diet and exercising as well, but she is very down and hurting because my weight is falling very quickly and not having to do anything, to add to her insult im not eating hardly anything at all, she is tired and starving and barely losing weight. Is this just an isolated issue????

Man! Saturday morning went by fast! Guess I need to go out and let some sun hit my face!

Good day, went with my mom walking for an hour or so. Nothing fast passed or anything but it at least its something!

OK So I finished my 21 day Daniel's Fast and finally got to drink my frap and OMGOSH eeeewww ...it really does take 21 days to form a habit. I have been drinking smoothies and 100% juice, the frap just wasn't the same I haven't tried my diet pepsi and not sure if I should or will...what to do???? On another note my arms are killing me from the gym owie!!!

I'm new to all this and slightly overwhelmed. I have my first appt with Dr. Jawad this friday. I am going to be slef pay and I'm not really sure how this is going to work. I also don't even have a PCP and I'm not sure if that matters or if I will have to find one. Hopefully it will happen fast for me. I hate waiting but it seems from what I have read on here I am in for a long wait.
