Neese

Amazing! I'm thrilled for your success!

I had my stall two weeks out and I thought I was doing something wrong because I has always heard it would be week 3. The stall lasted about 2-3 weeks. I'm week 6 (jan 31 surgery) now and I broke my stall and have been losing a pound every other day--give or take. I've lost about 35 pounds so far. Talk to your NUT maybe they'll have you up your caloric intake. Also Protein and water! Remember NSVs (non scale victories) like being able to walk further or fitting into a shirt better etc! Also, measure yourself! I wish had I done this because when u aren't losing weight you can be losing inches and I obviously was but don't have a record of it. Lastly don't let the scale control you. Pick a certain day and morning time weigh yourself. Don't become obsessed. Happy Sleeving!

You look beautiful and confident (: way to go.

So true! I was sleeved 1/31 and I wish I would've taken people's advise to measure myself and not to focus on the scale. You look great!

It's like we all have the same thoughts [: Im glad that you're rocking the sleeve!

Are you hydrated? I didn't eat for three days because I had no desire then when I did I felt sick. It ended up being dehydration. Hope it passes!

First and foremost sweet tea with lemon (im not much of a drinker so i could make it last all day). Also, skipping meals and a quantity eater. And rice was my side for EVERY meal. Was never big on bread but would binge on occasional salt and vinegar chips.

I went through almost the same thing. But hey now you're out and ready to rock your sleeve. Yay (:

My stall began at about 10 days to two weeks out. It lasted about two weeks and I've dropped 7 pounds since I broke it. (: try not to focus on the scale so much. A call to the NUT is good though to make sure you're doing everything you should (:

thanks everyone!! [: i have a killer cold!

Look at you!!! You go!!!!!!

HAs anyone taken any sort of PMs to help them sleep with a headache or a cold? I'm 5 weeks out and I know I'm to avoid NSAIDs however if I can find a non-NSAID PM, could I take that? Obviously I know the doctors okay is the end all say all I just didn't know if anyone else had experience with this. Thanks! Hope everyone has a spectacular weekend. Ps. I have lost 3 pounds this week after breaking my stall (:

Everyone's advice is great. You will do wonderful. We are all here for you, whenever. (:

I love reading first posts and watching people as they progress along. The best of luck to both of you on your journeys! it sounds like you are well researched. Enjoy the journey and May will be here before you know it! I cant wait to see you on the losers bench!!

YAY for awesome NSVs

YAY for April 9!! Congrats!

Remember this, we didn't gain it overnight, we wont lose it overnight. How many diets have we tried, without equal success, for months only to go back to our normal eating habits out of anger/depression? The sleeve is a tool that aids us in making healthier choices daily. We will be way healthier in the long run. Remember to track the NSVs (non scale victories) and the weight will come off as long as you are doing what you should [:

Enjoy Disney (:

The first two weeks were the absolute worst but once I got past week 3 it has been a breeze. Enjoy the journey take it slow and keep doing the amazing job that you are. Congrats on being seventeen pounds lighter!

Had my surgery 1/31 and I hit my stall at 2-2 1/2 weeks and it lasted for 3 weeks and I dropped two pounds and like u my clothes were/are getting looser. Don't let the scale dictate your journey--focus on the positives! I hate when I read that but it's SO true. I've been much happier since I've focused on NSVs. You're strong and you're doing fine. enjoy the journey!!

This made me smile! I'm SO happy for you. You keep on lady!!!!

Amazing!!! (:

Way to go!!!! Keep it up!!! (or down I should say hehe)

Lookin good lady!

Thanks ladies!!!
