You look so SEXY! Keep Rockin tour sleeve!

U will loose it weight. Like others have said, this is not a race It us a marathon. Sit back and take a deep breath and be thankful for receiving this wonderful tool. U will be getting compliments from people about ur weight loss because ur losing inches.... This is a time to celebrate healthy eating and better health! Rock that sleeve!

My surgeon told me that for the first three weeks after surgery w/o Protein we burn fat. But after w/o protein we lose muscle mask. I know that since being here in the mountains and I had forgot to bring my protein drinks, I have felt drained of energy. I hope u start practicing eating healthy now because u won't develop these new habits w/o beginning today. It takes 28 days to change a habit. This is the first day of the rest of ur life

Have you seen 60 min? They have done studies that demonstrate the addictive properties in consuming sugar. Sugar is also consumed by cancer gulped also. I know that I am going to make more of an effort to stay away from processes foods. Fruit drinks are the worst. If u haven't seen 60 min maybe go to the website and see it. This is really scary and makes alot of sense.

I love these NSV's! Keep Rockin!

U look great! CONGRATs

Keybold I love that your rockin your own boat! Congrats on your successful weight loss! Do you have any secrets for your successful weight loss? Please do share, we'd all love to hear them. LOL

Hi Melanie: So glad that your back! Please accept my condolescents for your family. It takes us to looking into our own life and how we really need to live one day a time and enjoy the precious moments we have with our loved ones. I am so proud of your accomplishments with losing weight. Keep up the good work! Your sister is very proud of you and will always be in your heart.

Coops A 1 o 2 lb loss will bring me to my surgeon's goal, but my goal was 130 lbs. But I realize that I am big bone and then some people who have had plastics report 10 lbs of excess skin, so I am realistically looking at 140 lbs. I know that it is so easy to revert back to old habits. In fact today, I went and had Mexican food and I ate chips & salsa, and a couple bites of my meal. My thinking was like, I down so I can eat this. Thank God for my sleeve, it did provide restriction. But my old thinking was there. This is so scary so I need to just stay focus an see what happens with my weight. thanks

Coops ~ here it is! Hope you get this.

Hey Coops: I am 5'6" and am over weight on the BMI chart. I just started a new topic on it. We are going to kick a$$ and Rock these Sleeves. You look really good in your pic, I need to get one up of myself.

Don't stress about it, just try to work up to 1/4c. Don't push it. Drink as much as your protein drink as you can. As time goes by, you will be able to get more in your tummy. As for your hair, I wouldn't stress on that either, because it is normal to loose some hair after surgery anyways and it will grow back in time. You are doing great! Keep up the hard work!

I went to my surgeon yesterday and she told me I needed to loose 1 to 2 lbs and that I looked really good. But when I look at the BMI chart and lbs. It doesn't correlate with my height. I'm 5'6" and for a big boned person, my weight should be 140ish. But I weigh 154 right now. So I hate to quit and just go on maintenance, So I am really starting to kick up the exercise and start doing some toning and keep doing what I've been doing Oh she also said to increase my water intake and calorie intake. The calorie intake kinda scares me so I will keep a close eye on the weight loss. What do you guys think. Am I at goal, or do I strive for my goal weight of 140?

Opppppps I've been eating miniature hersey candy bars! I just can't help myself. Oh, and I got a new puppy that is 6 weeks and he's a golden retriever. We named him Monty. I forgot how much work a 6 week old puppy is.... Kinda sad, he's missing his litter mates, mom and dad. Our dogs are like, WTH, get him away from me. LOL

I love reading about all these NSV's! They are so fun and inspiring! We are all doing so great! This is the smell of success!

CONGRATS! This is a success! I didn't feel like I had really lost weight until the wind started blowing me around. Also I started doing weird things like walking like I was a little intoxicated because I hadn't adjusted to the new body weight or being at work and the pants I wore that fit in the am was so baggy they would almost fall off. I love these NSV's! There are a lot more to come for you guys! It's awesome. Time to dance the happy dance! Where are my banana's?

CONGRATS! Have you had any complications? You have really rocked your sleeve!

Time to sit back and remind yourself that you have no control over these other women. Don't take it personal when someone on your team is threaten by you. It's her insecurity, but remind her that you are responsible for the project and need to be informed about what's going on. Take charge and don't worry about her age, she will just have to deal with it and perhaps even learn. Please make sure you leave it at work and have a wonderful evening with your family. It's just work, and family is where are heart is. You can do this. Oh BTW try doing some relaxation to help your stomach relax. It really works.

Coops ~ you and I are at the same weight. Yesterday I went to the surgeon office and she told me that I have 1 to 2 lbs to loose. She used some calculation on her computer which was different than the poster on her wall. She told me to increase my water intake and to increase my calories. Eating 900 calories may have slowed my metabolism down. So today, I will drink more water even though I struggle with getting it down. I will also use my recumbant bike. Time to get busy with toning and contour. Oh it's time to get back my personal trainer and have him kick it up. LOL

I really need to drink more water! It does help with flushing out the bad stuff and replenish the good stuff.

That sounds scary. Can you take blood thinners to prevent any clots?

You are most likely exhausted due to the low intake of calories. This is the time to rest as much as you can and make sure you get a lot of protein in. Hang in there, it gets better. You might also need a little more carbs in your diet.
