  1. I havent tried the protein to go. I need to check them out!
  2. I have tried the protein shots. I had to mix them with water and sip on them because they were way to sweer tasting.
  3. Im 7 Weeks out and have lost 37 lbs but went from a size 22w to size 16 reg. I need to measure myself again to see how many inches I have lost. I have been a slow loser but my husband thinks I look amazing already and he loves to take me shoppingto try on new things! Im about to start working out more so im hoping I lose a little quicker but I feel good about myself now for the first time in a long time!
  4. I am from houston. I was sleeved on march 12 of this year!
  5. Same with me. I was sleeved on march12 and have only lost 36 lbs but I went from a size 22/24 to a size 14/16! I just remember that when I am angry with the scale!

  7. I am walking and my daughter (4 years old) is riding her bike in the totally Texas parade! Then we have a birthday party and then a crawfish boil. Gonna be a busy day!
  8. I just read the article and I feel the same way you do. I cant believe some of the comments I read under the article either. I feel sorry for the man and hope that he is able to get help and get control of his health and weight for his sake.
  9. I was taking the same all in one chewable from celebrate. I was unable to stomach at all. I went to a support group and the leader suggest Wellesse liquid vitamins. I take their multivitamin twice a day and their liquid iron supplement once a day. then I take the calcium chews I got from my doctor.
  10. I am 32 and had a bmi of 42 prior to surgery. I had my surgery on 03/12/12. I had a two week pre-op diet prior to surgery as well. I have lost almost thirty lbs. Have you had your surgery yet?
  11. I have lost two lbs since last posting. Starting fo feel better mentally about this but still having doubts about why I did this. I have startex walking and I am doing about two miles a day. I feel good about that since I am almost four weeks out of surgery. I ate a bite of turkey and a bite of ham today. I am still technically on my pureed mushy stage but I chewed it really well and had no problems! That and a deviled egg made me feel better about being at the two family Easter feast! Happy Easter everyone!
  12. I had surgery on the 12 so im 17 days out. Im gonna be ok just having a bad day. Thanks for the encouragement.
  13. I am reallg getting frustrated. I gained back two lbs and have been stalled at 237 for over a week! I didnt know a stall would happen so soon after surgery and im really discouraged because i read that others are dropping lbs really quickly. My doctor said that he expects me to lose 1/2lb to 1 lb a day for the next thirty days.... Any suggestions?
  14. I just started my third week and im on mushy food... I can eat between 1/4 to 1/2 a cup of food....i know on my sample diet it tells me to eat six ounces of yogurt and i did that today but it took me an hour to eat it. How much can you eat sleeverella?
  15. I am the same way. I go back and forth between being happy i did this and depressed i did this. I am going to have steak this week (in pureed form). My diet plan says i can puree my own meaf or eat baby food which i dont think i could stomach.
  16. I was sleeved march 12 as well. I am moving up to the "mushy, pureed" stage of food and I am allowed to have refried beans (fat free). I dont know if that will help you or not but I plan on trying some refried beans with a little low fat cheese and low fat sour cream (just a dab).
  17. I had two weeks of full liquids and starting yesterday I moved up to two weeks of "mushy, pureed." Eggs are on my list for the mushy pureed stage as well as mashed potatoes and refried beans. Also I can have low fat cheese to
  18. I am sooo glad that everyone is doing ok. I got sleeved 3/12 and i am feeling well. I tried an egg and mashed potatoes today and was happy that i got semi solid food .
  19. Thanks everyone for being so kind and helping through the surgery! I am currently at 235 down from 261 prior to pre-op diet and I am 10 days post op. I am struggling with the liquid diet and really want to take a bite of solid food. I also stopped smoking two weeks prior to surgery and now I am having a really hard time and want one soooo bad. I keep telling myself that if I am going to get healthy I am going to get healthy ALL the way so no smoking! Any suggestions on good food for the "mushy, applesause consistency" stage... I will be moving on to that in four days!
  20. I stopped smoking two Weeks prior to my surgery (surgery was 3/12/12). my surgeon gave me chantix to help stop. I was doing well but now post op i cannot swallow the chantix and i am fighting the urge to smoke everyday. I had a crying fit this morning and actually went in store and bought a pack. I decided not to smoke one and when my husband (who smokes on occassion) lit one the smell made me sick! Its not an easy addiction to give up especially since i cant wat but i am strong! Good luck to others that are trying to stop as well!
  21. Feeling okay how about yourself? Im a little sord but trying not to take pain meds except to help sleep at night l. Had to stay in hospital ah extra night because I couldnt keep things down but since coming home I am having trouble getting enough in but what I do I keep down!
  22. Had my surgery march12. Down 13 for pre op diet and down six since surgery
  23. Get to go home today!
  24. Monday march 12 was my surgery date. Was supposed to go home today but I cannot keep liqjids down to well because of all the acid and gas in my stomach.
