One of the best weeks I had in a while. Even tho I forgot to eat yesterday.

It's been three years since I've been on here.. How is everyone?

7 weeks out and sad all the time. No reason to be sad, I think it's just the hormones. it's mild and walking really helps. Thankful for a husband who gets me and loves me even though I'm crazy! This is a wild ride.

4 week stall finally over-Today I dropped 5 pounds for a total of 32 pounds since surgery 10 weeks and 3 days ago. Total lost from my highest weight 215 pounds. HURRRAYYYY!!

Been one heck of a week. Trip to ER. Kidney stone surgery. Stent put in. Inpatient hospital stay. Acute Renal Failure. Gained 30 lbs water weight in 7 days. Trips to Urologist, Cardiologist, and Gastric Sleeve surgeon. Lost 25 lbs water weight in the last 48 hours. Thank God things seem to be looking up again.

3 weeks post op, losing slow & happy!

Two weeks from today. Zowie!

I think my 5-week stall may have finally ended... :'D

Every time I lose 70 pounds, I hit a stall. However, I will not give up this time!

had my 6 week check up with the surgeon today and all went well. I can start at the gym and go swimming now yippppee.... Finished the day off in town with the family and had an appitiser of thai fishcakes and chilli sauce. Yum. Good days :-)

This past Monday I made 7 weeks post-op. Saw my doc and was told my daily portein intake should be 65 grams WITHOUT having to resort to shakes. WTW?!?! I am geting nowhere near that amount. Is anyone else having problems getting enough protein daily? Water? I was told at least 64 oz a day which is approximately 4 bottles of water - you would think that'snot a lot, but I can barely get 3 in a day. Please tell me I'm not alone in this.

3 Wks Post-Op Today! Down 16 pounds. A little slow since the first week, but I'm doing my best to be patient.

Lost 10 and now Im at a stall! Other than that life is peachy!

I've been on a one-week break from my fitness habits: Drinking wine with dinner, eating treat foods, logging haphazardly on MFP, and not keeping up with my exercise schedule. It's time to get back on track.

Really frustrated! I assume my body is in shock from losing so much the first to weeks, and adding the multi vitamin with iron didn't help, and the monthly visitor, but seriously, gaining a pound??

So - hormones have totally caught up with me 7 weeks post-sleeve. I'm a raging lunatic today.

Well it is 6:47 AM here on the east coast and today I start my 2 week journey of only liquids prior to surgery. Went to see my Dr. yesterday he said everything looks great and was very confident with my surgery. he also said that many Sleeve patients have nausea for three days after surgery. He gave me a script to take 1 pill before I leave that morning and 2 more pills 1 for each day after, said that they were a bit pricey, when I went to the pharmacy they were $328.00 so I neglected to purchase them. I contacted the nurse and she said don't worry they would give me something in the hospital in I was sick. Were any of you very sick that made it had to drink?

I'm finally done being stuck. Scale number changed after two agonizing weeks. Onward!

ANOTHER stall ugh man!

I gained 1/2 this week and now that surgery is in aug they want me to focus more on my protein intake

Its been 1 week and 3 days since surgery and I'm down 10 lbs. So excited about this. But I am starting to feel a little depressed about food. In my mind I'm not going to be albe to eat the food I used to love in the quanity I used to love to eat it in. I know I did this sugery for a reason and I dont regret it for one moment but I do miss what I was able to used to do

So excited I got the call for my orientation date, and it only took a week! There's no turning back now!

For the past few weeks, I've had a hankering for a peanut butter cup, and have managed to resist buying any every time I've gone shopping. The combination of peanut butter and chocolate is a favorite even though I'm not a choco-holic. Recently I've learned about PB2 powder and have found a recipe on Unjury that just might satisfy this craving and still have more protein and good stuff than bad stuff. I just ordered some PB2 to try. Will let you know how the peanut butter cups turn out.

this is my week 5 update . down 40 lbs and feeling ok . getting ready to have my 3 teaspoon dinner. awsome
