I'm glad you mentioned this. I hate that I have to worry so much about getting pregnant!!!!!! I am on the pill but since I had my surgery I can't remember to take it. I don;t want an IUD for the same reason you had to take yours out. I am lost!

beginning* lol... sometimes my fingers move faster than my brain

Sucks. Get your thyroid checked. I started about the same as you at 244, I'm 2months out and 31 pounds down. How have you been losing since the beggining? Has it always been slow? There may be something going on.

I went 2 weeks max... maybe a week and a half before liftin.g him. But 8it was limited. At 4 weeks out I was back at my normal all day pick up.

This looks absolutely fabulous! I just "favorited" your blog so I can try this. I would make it tonight but I keep forgetting to buy a mini muffin pan.

Wow that's low. I just go by the guidelines of MFP that say 150carbs a day. No... I am usually no where near that but on my high days I just make sure I don't go over that. Hmmmm.... something to think about

Creatine is LIKELY SAFE for most people when used at recommended doses. Creatine can cause
stomach pain, nausea, diarrhea, and muscle cramping.When taken by mouth in high doses, creatine is POSSIBLY UNSAFE. There is some concern that it could harm the kidney, liver, or heart function. However, a connection between high doses and these negative effects has not been proven.
Creatine causes muscles to draw Water from the rest of your body. Be sure to drink extra Water to make up for this. Also, if you are taking creatine, don't exercise in the heat. It might cause you to become dehydrated.
Many people who use creatine gain weight. This is because creatine causes the muscles to hold water, not because it actually builds muscle.
There is some concern that combining creatine with caffeine and the herb ephedra (also called Ma Huang) might increase the chance of having serious side effects such as stroke.
There is concern that creatine might cause irregular heartbeat in some people. But more information is needed to know if creatine can cause this problem.
There is concern that creatine might cause a skin condition called pigmented purpuric dermatosis in some people. But more information is needed to know if creatine can cause this problem.
Special Precautions & Warnings:
Pregnancy and breast-feeding
: Not enough is known about the use of creatine during pregnancy and breast-feeding. Stay on the safe side and avoid use.
Kidney disease or diabetes
: Don’t use creatine if you have kidney disease or a disease such as diabetes that increases your chance of developing kidney disease. There is some concern that creatine might make kidney disease worse.

If you follow my posts you will see that I have a very lax NUT who is not strict at all with my diet, just wants me to eat right and adhere to my restriction. So far, so good. Now... I see that many people are appalled at carbs in any form so I want to know what your carb counts for the day are. What should you be eating according to your NUT and how much are you actually eating? How about fats?

I'm curious about this too! I was hoping being young would help with the skin.. but it truly hasn't. I am not at goal yet, and I plan to wait awhile to see what happens naturally (and ignore the fact that there is no way I could ever afford it in the first place..).
Now you have me scared.... how young is"young?"

Damn my smart phone! I didn't mean to post this 3 times and I don't know how to delete. Oh well.

at the point when Protein shakes give me nausea. Now most Bolthouse Farms products only have soy Protein but this has both whey and soy and they say tha this is a great balance because the different rates of digestion and benefits. Anyways most importantly this tastes GOOD. Not the cheapest but affordable on any budget.

How about you try to lose a little weight before you get pregnant. If I decide to have another child I plan on losing 10 pounds prior.

That sounds like a dream. If you can get the bread down then it doesn't sound too bad to me as an occasional meal. My philosophy with all this is not to restrict anything- just limit it. Moderation is key!

Well...... It would be very hard to stick to the pre-op diet without the surgery long-term.If it were that easy you would have probably already lost the weight. However,if you could stick to it (for arguments sake) then you wouldn't be stuck with an abnormally small stomach that makes you not be able to eat hardly anything forever.
I don't think this surgery is for every overweight person. But read into it 1 more time and if you chose to join the sleeve community then here's an early welcome!
BTW... I've lost more weight in the past 6 weeks than I could ever imagine!

When I was told about this surgery my doctor told me that there are 2 kinds of patients that he recommends for the sleeve.
1.) People that need to lose 100lbs or less
2.) People that are excessively overweight like 325+ that are planning on getting Gastric bypass afterwards. Basically using the sleeve as a step 1.
My doctor doesn't volunteer a lot of info but this was the first thing I heard. Therefore maybe you should consider getting your step 2.

My NUT isn't the best in the world but she told me to eat oikos as my number 1 choice. She said it tastes better. But then again she is not opposed to almost anything and recommends chicken fingers as an everyday meal. But you never know... she has been doing this foralong time and may have a reason she is not too picky with what I eat.

It took less than 2 weeks.

(Continued) you sould eat when your hungry just make healthy choices.

I am hungry every 2 hours but my doc told me to eat 5 meals a day not including drinks so I eat! She also told me 800-1000 calories. I track my calories on myfitnesspal and I am not over. Also in order to lose 2 pounds a week mfp says to eat 1200 so I make sure I NEVER go over that but I aim for around 900. You want to be healthy and not malnutritioned so my in non-expert opinion eat when you
