Great plan in place. The only think I would add is to make sure you get 7-8 hrs of sleep per night. Lack of sleep messes with your hunger hormones, plus is a deterent to lossing weight.

Great plan. Take charge and you will do it. God bless.

Just gotta love this. I had a love hate relationship with food forever and now I can take it or leave it. My favorite foods don't taste good and the things I hated taste great. Love the fact that all I need is just a taste (1 bite) of something and then walk away.
I hated green veggies wouldn't eat them at all and now I find I crave them go figure.
I am 6.5 weeks out and eating (tasting) food again but with out the worries. If I even have 1 bite more than my stomach thinks it can handle it lets me know in a hurry. Love'n my sleeve. I average about 4-5oz any more than that I get sick.
Food has lost it's appeal for me and am very thankful.

I'm so glad I am not the only one trying to make a new body for my self by looking at everyone else. I want J-Lo's butt and Dolly's boobs, Jane Fonda's legs and Wonder Woman's torso lolololololololol and her super powers, then doing house work would be quick and easy. heheheheheheh.

So sorry you are struggling (and hurting). Have you tried returning to the liquid, hi-protein diet to see if you can re-set your sleeve? I read about someone doing that. Also, if you go to YouTube and watch the journey of AmySDMOM, she has an entry on doing a yogurt fast for a couple of days, which helps her to lose up to 7 lbs.
Also, if you are depressed, that may have an effect on your movement. Can you take short walks, count your many blessings, drink more water? I wonder if the depression is keeping you from accomplishing some of your daily goals.
Surrounding you with light and wishing you WELL!

i am not sleeved yet but from reading on here you are actually one of those that are blessed with not having a sudden stall. Do not look for something wrong. Everything you pointed out sounds very positive. Sounds like God is blessing you with exactly what you need at the time, enjoy your ride. Also congrats on the downsize, soon enough those 26's will fall of even with the rope. I can not wait to be sleeved!!!!!
You are doing wonderful!!!!!

I use the shot protein and it works very well, and it comes in a ton of flavors. these are the ones I use: Super Protein Shot 26gm protein, New Whey liquid protein 42gm, and Profect protein supplement 25gm.
They are a a bit sour but a lot easier to go down, flavors make a difference my favorites are blue raspberry, fruit punch, and passion fruit.
ensure has a dietbetic counter part with protein no sure of the name.

I will keep you in prayer. Are you using your breathing thing they gave in hospital? It might help you some. I am 12 days out and have lost 28lbs and can't see where it left from LOL
Merry Christmas
God Bless and Keep you

Congrats on the loss!!!! I am also 7 days post op and haven't weighed yet.... hope all is going well
