I stalled 11 days for weeks 3 and 4. Then finally lost .2 pounds. Then another .2 pounds. Kind of pissed off!!

I'm so sorry you guys stalled. But glad to hear I'm not alone and it's part of the process. I assumed but got nervous too.

Made a huge mistake and ate 2 bites too many. So painful. Lesson learned.

I did that once, I think last week and I could feel the food backed up into my esophagus or whatever. It was awful but a useful lesson.

I ate something too fast this weekend and felt like I was going to die. I feel that I have lost more but my husband (who I made him do this) is not permitted to let me near the scale unless its Tuesday.

Other that that, I feel great! I have some of my energy back and then a some.

Question, how do you know you have overeaten? Is it kind of like when you are watching the TV and have a bag of chips and the next thing you know its gone? How long after you overate did the hurtful feeling come?

I'm guessing the overeating feeling is similar to what I have if I drink too fast. It hurts in my esophagus and I knew right away.

When I over eat I know straight away. A bit like when you eat too fast, you feel like you are going to die. Sometimes I have to make myself sick to get over it. I can only eat a couple of ounces at a time. Otherwise I too feel great, fit and well and enjoying wearing smaller clothes!

I decided I deserved a present when I lose 25 kg, so far I've lost 23 kg - so I've ordered a new guess hand bag off of e-bay. I wont use it until I hit the 25 kg. For me, this is very motivating :)

So far, I've walked about 8 406 steps today. I went to the new hospital they built (and will soon be offering bariatric surgery) to see about the plans they have for offering support groups. So far, nobody knows but I walked along the St. Vrain trail until I got to the trailhead and had to walk along Highway 119 with the prarie dogs. The heat, combined with the fact that my legs keep rubbing against each other, probably means I need to rest for a little while and wait for sundown before trying to get the remaining 1 600 steps.

I haven't been able to reach 10,000 a day yet. I'm hovering around 8 to 9,000. Because I have work in the morning to afternoon and then school at night, I sit so much. I'm going out of my way now just to get what I have been accomplishing. I came to the realization that I just may not be able to hot the mark until I can up my speed a bit. I'm just not there yet. Keep up the great work. Don't you feel better after walking? I know I do amd sometimes I don't want to stop buy my body disagrees with my mind.

During daylight hours? Absolutely not! My thighs burn with the fires of a thousand evils.

I had my sleeve on 8/22. I'm on puréed foods now. I made the baked ricotta and it was delicious! My husband had an idea to steam broccoli and add small bacon bits and some bacon fat to it, then purée it. Must say, it's delicious! We follow a Keto diet, so the fat is great for us.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
