I am just over 5 months out and I still drink an EAS low carb protein drink every morning. It's my breakfast and I enjoy the taste.

Congrats on your decision! Good luck!!

That is wonderful! Never look back!! Congrats!

You are doing great! Congrats and keep up the awesome work!!

Hmmm...I didn't know this. Thanks for the info!

I normally stay out of these topics and keep to myself, but it offends me when I see statements like "Rant on Men" or "Just like a man". Not all men are like this. This topic should say "Rant on my husband who I chose to marry".

I think I ate scrambled eggs during my puree diet. It's basically like puree anyways. I think you're good. BTW...congrats on your 24 lbs!!

Great NSV!! Congrats!!

Yep, we all go through it. Although you are not seeing it on the scale, you are losing inches, trust me. It's a weird thing, our bodies. Just keep doing what you are supposed to be doing and the scale will show it in no time. Congrats on your 25 lbs!!

Wow! What an accomplishment! Nice job! You can do it!!

You look great! Your hard work has paid off! Congrats on your success!

Be encouraged! You have lost 46 amazing lbs!! That is awesome, and you will continue to drop! You can do this!!

Congrats! That is awesome!!

Sounds like you are doing great! Congrats!!

I take two chewable vitafusion 500 mg calcium (tastes like candy - sugar coated), two chewable multivitamins (gummies - from CVS Pharmacy), Nature's Bounty 2500 mcg sublingual B-12, 1200 mg fish oil (from CVS) and 10,000 IU Vitamin D chewable gel (from Bariatric Advantage).

Yeah, bile is the first thing that came to mind. If it continues, I would call the doctor. Good luck!

What Kathy said. ^^^^ You will do great! And don't be scared crapless. Constipation is not good.

Yeah, sounds like the 2 week stall. Almost all of us hit it. Most stalls last a week to 10 days, but could go longer. Don't fret. Perfectly normal. Just keep doing what you need to do and it will start back up. Good luck!

2 reasons why some people panic over stalls. 1) They just had major surgery that transformed their life forever. When they hit a stall, they wonder if it worked and WTH did they just do?! It's an uneasy, completely normal and natural reaction. 2) Many people want immediate results because we are, by nature, impatient. Nothing wrong with either of those two reactions. Most people just need to be educated. The stall is going to happen. Our bodies, for some reason, just have to do it. I never mind because I know that although the scale isn't moving, I am losing inches. Just know that everyone is different and most everyone have these very real feelings. You don't so that is good for you! BTW...Congrats! Looks like you are doing very well!

Yep! He fixed mine at the same time!

It did for me. I have BCBS of Texas. BTW...I no longer have it!

Hmmm...I didn't think us sleevers dumped.

Three things that I have done (on several occasions) when I have forgotten: 1) Take a big bite of something and swallow it without chewing it real good. Hurts! 2) Drink something while I am eating. Hurts! 3) Often times I don't plan before I eat. I allow myself to get thirsty, and then it is time to eat. I have to wait to drink something for 30 minutes after I have eaten. Then I am REALLY thirsty and that is never good. We live and learn.

Praying for your dad and you during this difficult time. Glad your sleeve is working on your emotional eating.

I love this post so much.
