I am now 206....31st goal is 195 11 lbs to go for halloween... Dont remember what my last weigh in was but I set a goal for my bday and I am 6 lbs away for that. My bday is October 18th

I was one of the forunate ones who's Dr. orders was puree foods after three days, however I could only do liquids my first week out. Good luck

Today 212.6

Weight before surgery 250 Weight day of surgery 231 Current weight 214 Goal for October 31st 195

I agree with butterthebean....I actually laughed at some of the post...laughter is good for the soul....everyone here really want to see people succeed. I fell off because for some reason I stop wanting meat & only wanted soft stuff, such as macaroni salad, mashed potatoes...I got back up & dust myself off....I started back to protein shakes to get back on track. I was doing the happy dance today after I got on the scale & down three more lbs after a three week stall...yayyy me

I didnt need any pain meds after the first day & a half. I had the most pain right after surgery. Like others have said I rate my first day about a six.

Krystal, you are right everyone is different but my Doc told me to start puree food on day three. I didn't because it iritated my tummy. I did better after my stomach started to go down. I blended my food for about two weeks after I started my puree stage. Good luck

Thats is wonderful...I am so happy for you.... I was sleeved July 24 & including my 14 day pre-op I am down 33 lbs mostly from pre-op....I hope that I am not the one of those people that go months without losing

I will be five weeks out tomorrow. I have purchase some size 14s...my 18s made me look sloppy. I can wear 16s but only because my backside is big however a lot of people has told me that it has gone down. I can still kind of get away with my size 16 dresses but for those who know me know they also fit loose...best of luck to you

Im not doing so well I will be five weeks tomorrow & I havent loss any since week two. I gotta make some serious changes. Surely this is not all the weight I am going to lose...soooo upset....ugh

This thread has now turn emotional for me. I admire everyone so much for your honesty. I have made confession but now I have to add another one. I confess that I am probably at a stall for the past two weeks because I didnt want meet & was eating soft things that was not at my sleeve best interest. Well tomorrow is a new day & I plan on getting back on the saddle again & this time hold on tight.

Sorry to say but my NUT said no spicy foods for that very reason....some of the veterans can probably answer that...

Off four weeks but its only because there was no light duty work for me.

Sorry that happen to you. I have not had this problem because I take chewables or use a pill crusher. Maybe others can provide a solution.

I was also sleeved July 24 & all though people can tell I have loss, I am upset because since surgery only down 12 lbs. I didnt lose any until my 8th day post-op. I would be happy to lose at least 4 lbs per week. My Doc said that 15 to 20 is normal. I must say I tried on some size 14's and was happy but another 5 lbs and they should fit nicely.

I feel you..... I wasn't going to post a pic on Facebook until I got to a certain weight but when I got dress last weekend, I couldn't help but post a pic..... I totally enjoyed the compliments and I'm no where near goal. By the time I get to goal I won't know what to do with myself.....lol
