How are you doing?

I am feeling so much better. Today is one week for me! I had my drain removed today and I have lost 5 more lbs!

I saw you post about a 3 to 5 week stall. thats me right now. freaking out... glad to hear its normal though. Can you tell me about how many calories you intake a day? I am trying to make sure I am doing everything right. : ) thanks.

hey sweets.. I am wondering whats ur egg salad recipe? still a week for more till I get there but I am collecting reciepies:)

Hi there! How did your six week appointment go with Dr. Pop? I was curious as to what kinds of pre-op testing Barix required you to do? I've been reading around on here and everyones experiences vary so much. Thanks and hope you're doing great!

Sorry about your 2 week stall :c but it's over now! and you lost a great amount for the time period. Congratulations!

Hey :-)

I am doing fine. I've been stalled for almost a couple of weeks now, but I've been doing a lot of strength training on my total gym and the inches are melting off (50 inches lost so far)!!! You are doing really GREAT :-)

I was off work for two weeks. I felt well enough to go back sooner, but my doctor didn't want me to go back for three weeks. We compromised at two. I work a desk job, so I was only allowed back with the understanding that I wouldn't do any lifting.

This is the BEST THING I've ever done!!! I've lost 47 lbs. and would do it again in a heartbeat!

I read somewhere not to worry so much about protein the first week, just stay hydrated. I have been drinking water, crystal light, hot herbal tea and trying to get a little protein in with Protidiet Hot Cocoa and Premier Choc Shake. Hang in there - I'm sure every day will get a little easier. I have an appointment with Dr. Hoehn on Wednesday at 1:30. When do you see him?

WOW!!! You are doing FANTASTIC! I am having mine doen in two weeks I can't wait

Second week post-op and I havent lost any weight this week

Think im in my first stall, scale is STUCK. Gonna use it for gym motivation and make some lemonade.

almost 3 weeks out and I want to eat cheese sticks----when did you have them?

Been busy this week!!! Missed you all

2 week stall followed by a 9.6 lb loss in a week! I'll take that!!!

Started at 289 lbs., On surgery day was 274 lbs., 1 week out from surgery down to 264 lbs....YAY!!

Just starting week 8 of 12 of the Options program at Kaiser. Time is flying and the weight loss is slow but steady. I feel great.

8 weeks of no chewing starts tomorrow. 2 week pre-op liquid diet begins and then the big day!

I had the Super Sleeve done 2 weeks ago and I'm doing good...but I can't eat soilds yet...

Okay, I'm two weeks from surgery with Dr. Almanza. I really wonder about the "poo poo" thing that I keep reading about. I wonder if I should just have a good ole colon cleansin or should I just take the one laxative for three days prior to surgery??!! If the gas is SUPER painful, then why not get rid of anything and everything in there?

hmmm... just the most pressing t...

How are you doing?..... I had my 3rd week stall and didn't lose anything but then I lost 6 lbs last week.... YAH!

i am one week post op as of today!!! i feel fine, just a bit tired and having alot of trouble adding protein. anyone else like this?

Hi All

Well as of Last week Thursday I weighed in at losing only 12lbs. A lot of this is my fault. Although I semi followed the plan---going back and forth between KAiser and PB---I have not exercised. I have just been down all this time after surgery. I go back to work in a week and I feel I look the same as when I left. Not a good feeling.

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.

Hey girl! Im not tubeless yet, but I'm on my way! Hopefully just a few more weeks! )
