athena3127 199 Posted January 6, 2015 Sleeve date 11-4. Down 33 lbs. Pre surgery shirt was 4 or 5 xl with size 26-28 jeans Yesterday I shopped on sale at OLD NAVY! Got a size 20 skinny jeans and a nice black sweater to keep warm. Loving the progress so far. Got the signed letter from my surgeon so I could join the gym ( they wouldn't allow me to join without letter) so I'll be ready for the cardio class on Wednesday! Can't wait to feel things burning on the inside. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JennsinCA 85 Posted January 6, 2015 @@becweaves I am on normal food stage. I am eating a greek yogurt with a scoop (30gm) of grnepro unflavoref Protein Powder each day and then chicken, turkey, and fish for dinners. I have been making a lot of stirfrys with chicken and then some veggies and been eating that. I have just been focusing on getting my 100gm of Protein a day and my liquids in. I have had a chest cold since Dec 14 so no gym just walkinh for exercise Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mkresal 2 Posted January 13, 2015 Feeling frustrated, my wgt. Is standing still. I've been working out, getting in more Water. I'm going to focus on Protein this week and see if that makes a difference. I know I made the right choice and I'm not sick at all, the only foods I've tried that don't go well are bread, and rice obviously. And the ever persistent question of how much I've lost now is driving me nuts. I love that people can tell I've lost weight, but I feel like they think I should have lost more by 6 weeks. Or maybe I feel that way. I was able to switch back to my effexsor EXL and that has helped me. Hope you are all having a great week so far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wantingabetterlife 364 Posted January 13, 2015 Had my surgery on 11/16. I hit the dreaded stall and it lasted about two weeks! During the stall, things shifted on my body and my size changed but not the scale. Now loss is slow but a little every day. Just keep up the Protein and water! The scale will move again....everyone goes through it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dreamingofhealth 223 Posted January 19, 2015 Hey guys and gals I'm so happy for everyone and your progress!!! I was sleeved on November 26th and so far so good! I'm down 28 pounds so far, I've been stuck for 3 weeks without movement on the scale. But I'm hoping soon the scale gods will change the number before I go nuts hahaha I am on My fitness Pal if you wanna add me! Then we can see each others diaries and get ideas for meals etc Sheena696 is the name! I must say I am struggling with Vitamins. .. I forget to take them all the time. I've never been on medication or anything so it's not something I think about. How do you remember to take them? Also, is anyone FREEZING all the time! I can't seem to keep warm. Talk soon, Sheena :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
