I am so happy that I have somewhere to go and talk to people who understand. I am so happy to have my sleeve and be a part of this with you all!

kparker, rest assure. my nut told me that a sleever should lose around 30lbs in 3 months. it made me feel so much better to know that. at any point did you have a big drop like 4-5 in a week. the body has to catch up thats all and it will break soon i completly know what you are talking about it sucks.

Hey everyone,

I do not post as often as some of you, but I do read all comments. Glad to see most of us are doing well. Seems like we all have are ups and downs and that's normal. I met with a trainer yesterday and I am excited to start this next part of my journey.

Kparker, I was in a stall for 1 month. 11/13 was two months since my surgery and since then the weight has been falling off, 1 or 2 pounds a day!!! Hang in there and give your body time to adjust, you are doing great!

Hello everyone, glad to read you are all doing good on your weight loss. I haven't wrote anything since I've been so aggravated lately. My apartment has had two floods in the last month and now I am going to move, it's hard for me to stay focused on what I'm eating and Water with all that's going on. I hope you all have a great day and enjoy Thanksgiving tomorrow!

Oh I'm nit doing well. I've had a " stomach flu" since Sunday. I haven't been been able to keep anything down that includes Water. I saw the dr. On Monday as I was scared to get dehydrated. Since I saw a different dr. Because mine was out of the office. Well that dr. Insisted I had rice and white toast. Umm I kept telling her I could do either since I'm 2 months out of being sleeved. To make a long story short I left with nothing that benefited me. Only thing was I should go to e.r. if I couldn't keep anything down. Then she tells me that I don't look dehydrated to go home and drink. HELLO.. that's why I was there in the first place..

I emailed my dr. The next day and she prescribed zofran which did wonders. I took one yesterday and I was able to eat crackers and a Powerade zero.

Hope you all are doing well.

I'm 2 months and 10 days post surgery and I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing the following:

It seems like now I can eat waaaay less than I could a month ago. I mean a couple bites and I'm done. But it's not everything. Like I can eat a 5oz greek yogurt, well not fast, takes me a while but I can eat it. But as for what I would call "regular" food, not even that much is possible. I feel like I could eat so much more a month ago and now I'm back to not being able to eat much at all.

Suggestions?

WELL today marks 10 weeks im down another 2lbs for the week yayyyyyyyyyyyyy.this week has been ok for me no problems. i am so looking foward to tomorrow OMG dressing and turkey yayyyyyyyyyyy. any hoossssss im so glad everyone is ok and we are moving right along. so ive lost 32lbs in 10 weeks hummmmmmmmm not bad. its good to see the low 240's

mdm. girl i am so glad for you (doing the happy dance). you made it through those ruff times and now your body is like lets do this, so happy for you

smell bug good to see you again

scared that can be so dang frustrating, i pay a $25 co pay and it has been wasted on dr visit time and time again. irritating. so glad you are feeling better

momof i know what you mean, but mines is in the mornings its like i get so full so fast. and than other parts of the day i can get more in. its like our tummys are adjusting all day long. lol

Momofthings - It's weird, there are days when I feel like I never really get full and days when a few bites of "solid" food fills me up. I have yogurt every morning for Breakfast (5.3 oz container usually, sometimes a 6 oz) and feel comfortable after that. Yesterday I was way out of my routine - went to visit some friends after work so didn't have dinner when I normally would have - when I got home I was pretty hungry - and way behind on my Protein. Had a couple of large shrimp, a Protein Bar and later a yogurt. Got my Protein in but was STUFFED! That was way too much food eaten in too short a time.......

I'm one of the "lucky" ones (being very sarcastic!!!) who does feel stomach hunger still (doc said that may change - or it may not - BUMMER if it doesn't!!!).

[Getting There 198]

Wondering - is anyone else concerned about our overall nutrition? I'm getting at least 60 grams of Protein per day but not eating alot of veggies and almost no fruit or whole grains.

I take a Multi-Vitamin, Calcium, Vitamin D, B12, Omega 3, and Biotin daily - but I've always thought that getting most of my nutrition from food was much better than getting it from supplements.< /p>

I'd be interested in your thoughts my Sleeve Sisters (are there any men in our little band of merry losers???).

[Momofthing1thing2thing3 116]

I don't get much fruit either. Obviously not much of anything recently. I do like to put pineapple on cottage cheese. I did eat a dried prune today. Weird. I did have a turkey and cheese sandwich on 1 slice of toasted 100% whole wheat bread the other day. Veggies?? Not much. I am planning on a few bites of green bean casserole tomorrow...does that count? Oh and sweet potato, well a couple bites of that too. Those are veggies. But in general, not as much as I'd like.

[kparker0501 88]

MOM- Me too. I have the same problem. I ams still learning I do not need more than 2 bites.

NEWGMA- I love Trader Joes. You can get some really healthy ideas from TJ. I too and very excited for turkey day!

GETTING THERE- I am ALWAYS hungry seriously. Even when I am full, if that makes sense.

MDM- I hate moving it is so stressful. I hope your things did not get ruined. Did the apartments reimburse for damages??

SCARED- I am so sorry you are not feeling good. Especially the stomach flu with this sleeve must feel so gross. I pray you feel better so you can have something tomorrow! ((hugs))

SMELLBUG- YAY for you, a personal trainer is awesome, and a great way to go. He/She will hold you accountable, and for me I need that. You look like you are doing great, keep up the good work.

[kparker0501 88]

I am leaving work early and I am off to start prepping for tomorrow. I will be having Thanksgiving at my house for about 20 people. SOOO, if I do not get a chance to post tomorrow HAPPY THANKSGIVING SLEEVE SISTERS!!! Stay strong and eat your Protein first! XOXOXOXO

[Momofthing1thing2thing3 116]
