I'm not allowed to try rice for 9 months which sucks because I LOVE sushi!! Steak I could puree at 3 weeks (never did - ew) and then eat at 6 weeks. I have eaten it frequently and it goes down better than chicken and fish! Just dont cook it well done. I hear it's only lap banders that have probs with steak.

I love sushi too!!! Can't wait to be able to eat it, just haven't ventured out yet. I am able to eat way more than when I first started. I just make sure I eat Protein first

Ive had it now .... but I just eat everything minus the rice

That's odd I don't remember being told to avoid rice. I've had rice with no problems but try to avoid it until I lose the rest of my weight because of the carbs/calories. I haven't had a steak yet, but have eaten meat with no problem as long as it's tender. I just can't seem to hold much. Strange how I can eat a lot of somethings but only a small amount of others.

Hello November skeevers! I lost Seventy (70) since Dec 10th. I knew it would be rough going but ..... really nothing tastes as good as thinner feels. I am still a burly bear I still have a few pounds to take off, but it dropping at a steady pace. THE GOOD: I am wear now wearing the smallest pair of jeans I had stored in the closet from six years ago. My testosterone has surged, ( no further comment needed) and I feel like I am Twenty again. THE BAD: I still hurt, slime on occasion and still can't get all the protien I need to eat in . THE UGLY : my hair started to fall out, so I am now sporting a shaved head. I scare me in the mirror these days.

Hi fellow sleevers!

Checking in again! I have lost 69lbs as of this morning. I was sleeved 11/13. My HW was 248.8 (start of pre-op)- CW is 179. I've gone from wearing a TIGHT 20 to a loose non stretchy 12. Tops I've gone from XXL to a Medium! Things have gone well- no real issues eating anything and I'm happy with my results.

This morning- pardon the dirty counter lol

I had my 3 month f/u yesterday (it has been 4 months since surgery 11/1). I've only lost 38 so I am one of the slow losers. I have been in a fluctuating stall for a few weeks now. My dr said I can do a 2 day liquid diet to kick start my weightloss again. He said it will shock my body and get me going. He also said that I must walk everyday. It doesn't matter how fast' date=' just to do a mile everyday. He said that is the key to keep the weightloss going. Overall he said I'm doing great.

Sw 220

Today 183

From size 18 to 12/14

BMI from 43 to 35 in 4 months

I'm happy with my results and my increased energy. And I am loving to shop now.

When I went for my 3 month, I had lost

45 lbs. I was pretty bummed but my NP said I was doing great, above average. She said because I started at a lower weight, I wouldnt loose as fast as say someone who was heavier than me. Also, she told me I wasn't having enough calories... I was on a two week stall. I was exercising intense, 5 days a week for an hour and consuming 550 calories. I upped my calories and Water, and added another Protein Shake every day. My stall passed and I am 4 months out and down 55 lbs. Keep up the great work, the stalls will come and go!

Hello all checking in...surgery was Nov. 7th I have lost 94 lbs. Good: feel free. Dropped a few clothing sizes, able to do so many things physically w/o pain.....loving life! Bad: Hit my first stall...been there a few weeks & my hair is thinning rapid. Still even with the bad it was the best decision ever.... My life has changed dramatically!

[tallysfunny 363]

Haven't updated in a while. I had surgery on 11/20, my weight day of surgery was 315. Today I weighed in at 227. I'm sitting at 88lbs lost since surgery. Pretty stoked. I walk, want to start couch to 5k soon, do yoga and have been getting my butt kicked at Crossfit for a few weeks now. Unfortunately I have to take a short break from all that...today I am having my gallbladder out. It's been giving me problems for over a month now. So taking it out should relieve me of the pain, nausea and vomiting.

But great losses everyone! Keep up the great work!!!!!

Surgery 11/21, 62 lbs lost. My scale hasn't budged in almost 3 weeks and im getting frustrated. Anyone else experience a stall yet??

[katsmeow 70]

My surgery date is Nov. 14th. I've lost total 82lbs. I keep running into stalls. Just recently came off dairy and breads. ( at least for a while) but that helped my stall. I still struggle getting all my Water in.

My surgery was 11/8 and this last month I've hit a stall, I think I've lost 1 or 2 lbs. Hopefully the scale will start moving again I did notice clothes fitting different ( looser) so my body is still doing its thing

[overweight 4]

How is everyone doing now? I am still trying to figure out what to eat. Exercising more.

[selbradey 321]

I weighed in at 151 yesterday from 212 in november

[ashelaine 383]

Surgery 11/13 I started at 248 I'm now at 176. I feel great and it's amazing what I can do now that I know I wouldn't have been able to 5 months ago! I've gone from a tight size 20 and 1x top to a size 12 and a medium top.
