  1. Wow! That's great! I had surgery 3/20 as well and I am down a total of 50lbs; 35lbs since surgery. Keep up the great work!
  2. I am 6 weeks out today and down 26lbs. I have lost a total of 41lbs since pre-op diet. It is going slow for me as well, but like others mentioned, it should help with skin, hair.. etc. Hang in there.
  3. My surgeon says its from not enough protein!
  4. I work nights and find that I really retain water when Im working... I also feel like my weightloss slowed waaaaay down after I went back to work.
  5. Hi! I was sleeved 3/20. I am down 40lbs!! The scale has not moved for just about 7 days! I'm pretty bummed about the stall but everything else is great!!
  6. I agree! Cute little shape you have! Thanks for sharing! I'm inspired!!
  7. Im only 4 weeks out but just wanted to ask those of you eating bread, when did your doctor or nut give you the ok for bread? I really want a grilled cheese sandwich. I'm supposed to be on pureeds, however I can pretty much puree anything in my mouth.. lol
  8. I did a lot of chewing and spitting... Its pretty gross but it worked. lol
  9. Hi! I will be 1 month out on the 20th. I have lost 24 since surgery but 39.5 since I started the pre-op diet. I would say your loss sounds great!
  10. I will be 4 weeks post op on Tuesday and have been on clear liquids. Once I hit four weeks, I can start pureeds. I did cheat a bit today.. I had some potato soup. I dont know what your doctor recommends as far as when to start your next phase, but mine is strict. I'm trying hard to stick to the plan.
  11. Awesome job! We have similar stats.. I am also 3 weeks out.. (surgery was 3/20) and I am down 36lbs (21 since surgery). I started my journey at 269! Feels so good to put on smaller clothes! Way to go!
  12. I had the same thing! My surgeon says its caused from an iron deficiency.
  13. Hi! I'm not in my mid 20's, but close enough! I am 31, almost 3 weeks post op and down 35 from my highest weight of 269! I am happy with that!
  14. I am 15 days post-op and my surgeon gave me the okay to start coffee today. He said no milk or sugar in it. I used the sugar free french vanilla creamer (coffee mate / non dairy) today and I didn't have any problems. However, I did notice in the handout he gave me, it does say that I am NOT supposed to use any creamer ( non-dairy or not). I don't understand why and it doesn't give an explanation. Anyone else using this? Thanks!!
