Hi All - Sleeved on Dec, 21st. Definitely stalled week 3 after 25lb weight loss. Upped my cals and my Water - stall broke...YAY!
struggling with psychological stuff more than physical - I live in NYC, the food capital of the world, so it's a challenge to be "out and about" and not partake in MANY things!! It's not that I'm hungry or even need/want to eat - it's just that I know I shouldn't or can't.
typical day menu..
Carnation No Sugar Added chocolate shake
1/2 c Fage no fat greek yogurt with 1 splenda & 1/4 pureed no sugar added fruit cup
cheese wedge (laughing cow or mini babybel - Low Fat)
ice pop or teaspoon Peanut Butter
drink Special K protein/fiber pink lemonade powder in Water (2 per day) 30 cals each(5 mg protein/5 mg fiber)
having a difficult time with pure Proteins (like salmon, chicken, turkey)
deli meat has been okay but must eat very slowly
wishing everyone luck...
had my first NSV today - someone whom I haven't seen in months called me Skinny! ,Believe me, I have a LONG WAY to go but she noticed which was AWESOME!!

ditto! I either sneeze or my nose runs when I'm right at that full point... it's a good reminder to stop eating!!

I'm only a little over 2 weeks out but I also cannot drink Water. Iced mint tea has been the only thing I can consume fairly regularly. Anyone else??

Hi - I'm also having belly button pain. I do have a small incision there and the steri-strips just came off - so I thought it was due to that but it is sharp and seems deeper. I have my 2 week appt. with my surgeon on Wednesday, I think I can hang in until then but it is comforting to know others felt it too!

Hi Everyone - I'm 5 days out and doing fabulously! Just a quick question.... I have 4 incisions that were covered in bandaids but have steri-strips over them. I removed the bandaids and will wait for the steri-strips to fall off on their own. BUT - I have tape and gauze over my belly button - Do you think it's okay to remove it?
Thoughts??
Nevermind - I removed the outer tape and gauze - there were steristrips underneath, so I'm all good.

I'm 4 days out and down 15.5 pounds... it feels a little insane. I am 100% sure it will slow down but it's nice to be in another "decade" on the scale especially when suffering through these liquids!
This question is for sleevers that was 230 to 240 pre-sleeve
