Weird! I guess it's just me, lol. I will continue to highlight your posts to read em, hehe.

I can't see them either! I have a laptop that is less than a year old set on the normal color settings.

Hi guys! So excited to be apart of the February Sleevers 2013!! I started at 258.8 2/17 weighed in surgery morning 2/25/13 at 248.2, and today I'm 239. I had a great hospital stay no complications. Great nurses I have pain in my right side like a stich when you work out too hard or walk too long. I get full super fast and am having a terrible time getting in the Protein and liquid requirements. But, I'm hopeful each day will get a little easier. And I'm wiped out. You guys give me lots of motivation though and I'm really glad for that!

Just ate a few bites of ricotta bake' date=' recipe I found on here and I feel very sick to my stomach, anything I can do to help my self from throwing up?!

I'm still sore I can't imagine the pain of committing [/quote']

Make sure you thin it out, I didn't realize that was required in the beginning even if the food as soft and had unnecessary pain

Hi I got sleeved on feb 16th I lost 17 pds in the first week. Since then the scale hasn't moved AT ALL!!! I'm getting so frustrated I even started working out I take my Protein and Water the way I'm supposed to. I don't know what's going on!!! Is this normal??

I was sleeved on the 19th and my scale has also not moved in 7 days. From what I have been reading on here, it seems to happen to alot of people. Some have said it lasts up to 3 weeks. Try not to let it upset you. I am trying not to weigh myself just so I dont get frustrated. The pounds are bound to start falling off eventually.:-)

Help ㅠㅠ

I haven't lost anything in the last 3 days!!

I'm only 1 week out too!

I lost 8lbs this week and I know that's great but I'm wondering why I'm not losing now.

Also! I wonder about what each pain means. I can't tell if the pain means I'm full or if it means that my stomach doesn't like it.

Any thoughts?

edit: guess i should mention I'm low BMI and my doctor put me on soft foods/mushy foods after 3 days. i waited at least 5. started eating mushy foods and stopped losing. could that be the problem?? and no bm yet...

I think that is a wonderful outlook!!! We have the rest of our lives to work at this. Being obsessed with the numbers scale is an hold habit of mine that I swore I would not carry over after my surgery. As long as I'm doing what I'm suppose to, and I am feeling the benefits of that... Well, then I am succeeding. No number is going to tell me any different!

It sounds like you will not have a lot of loose skin either. That's a good thing!!

I hope not but I'm sure there will be some? Todays weigh in day...4# down for a total of 28# and 12# in 3 weeks. Not bad...I haven't seen 291 in 10 yrs!!! (:
