Rrrrrrr!!!!! Nice, Queen!!! Congrats!!!

Congrats! That's awesome! Good luck and keep us posted!!

Down 1 lb from last week, 253. Oh well, better than none! Congrats all!!

Congrats!!!!

I still weigh daily. I too think weighing daily helps identify patterns. I would not weigh daily if it discouraged me by seeing a weight gain. To each his/her own.

What? Really? I've never even heard anything about memory loss.

That's awesome! Love the NSV's!! Congrats!!

Yeah, what Rootman said. Just don't accidently swallow it. I haven't accidently swallowed gum in 30 years.

Wow! You look great! Congrats!!

We experience the dreaded stall. If you are doing what you are supposed to be doing, protein and water, then you are losing inches right now, not necessarily lbs. My longest stall was 10 days, but it kicked right back in after. I actually received more compliments during my stalls than any other time. Don't be discouraged. I guarantee you are losing inches. The scale will show it soon.

I always crave spicey foods. I will eat Lean Cuisine's and dowse it with cayenne pepper. Love spicey mexican. Pizza smoothered in chopped red pepper. Love it all and glad I can tolorate it!!

No, they won't take the approval back. The insurance company won't even know your weight at the time of your surgery. Just be sure to follow your Dr's pre-op diet and you will be just fine. Congrats and good luck!!

Tell me to shut up if I am being too nosey. (It is usually the case.) I am wondering why the resleeve? Is there a medical issue? I checked your profile and it shows that you are currently at 145. Do you have a leak or something? I am just curious.

I was feeling pretty much normal after about 10 days. I think I was still on liquids and was pretty tired, but painwise, I was back to normal. I was tired up until I was able to start eating again. Not sure when you are able to start eating again but I think mine about 2 weeks out. At the time, it seemed like forever, but really, it's just a blip on the map. Your body just went through a lot so that is probably why you are having headaches. I am sure this will pass, but keep taking your pain meds. That should help. Congrats on your surgery! You are going to see some great changes! I am happy and excited for you!

I enjoy almost all of my Vitamins. Here is what I take: 2 Daily Gummies (from CVS) 2 Vitafusion Calcium (sugar coated gummy vitamins) Yummy! 1 Oderless Fish Oil (1200 mg) - This is not chewable and it is about as the big as the fish it comes from. This is the only one I don't like. 1 Vitamin D Chewable Gel (from Metagenics-Bariatric Advantage) (10,000 IU) 1 sublingual B-12 (from Natures Bounty) (2500 mcg) Most of these you can find at your local pharmacy or drug store. I couldn't find the high dosage of Vitamin D and B-12 at the store so I bought them on eBay. Hope this helps!!

Congrats on your decision, Ruperto! It was one of the best decisions I have made in my life. I was sleeved on 12/31/2011, and as of today, I have lost 80 lbs (some it was during my preop diet). I feel great! You will be too in no time at all! Again, congrats!!

I'm down 4 lbs this week to 254! Wooohooo!!! Congrats everyone!!

Awesome! Big difference! You look great! I don't fear my stalls anymore. I know that I am losing inches even if the scale isn't moving. Congrats!!!

You'll do great, Caradina! Congrats!!

Your right about that one, Caitlyn!

I now wat you meen, their. I hate it wen peaple misspeel words.

Awesome! I would hate to get ovarian cancer.

Chicken breast with some teriyaki sauce! Yum!

First off, congrats on your sleeve!! And it looks like you are doing great! I have a little fridge at my desk. I buy the EAS low carb Protein shakes and store them in my fridge. When I get to work, I start drinking one for my morning Breakfast. They are yummy! I am able to go home for lunch, but if I couldn't, I would probably bring a chicken breast or a lean cuisine or something like that. At 3 weeks, not sure what you can eat yet, but be sure to follow your plan. I also always have a bottle of Water with me in my fridge. I drink about 40-50 oz a day which isn't too hard to do. I also have the lowfat Weight Watchers cheese sticks that I eat sometimes as an afternoon snack. The problem with those is that when I eat one, it makes me hungry for another for some reason, so I usually try to avoid them. Then it is back to home where I have my dinner. You will do great. It really isn't that difficult. I actually find that working takes my mind off eating anyways so it's all good. Hope this helps and good luck!! Again, congrats you awesome sleever you!
