Thank you everyone the positive words. Happy not alone and will definitely start measuring. I am looking at plus size my first digit changed lol!

I have to tell the truth I am freaking ecstatic my weight starts with a 2 now.

I was like wow I'm doing great doing everything I'm supposed to be doing and now its like ummmm what's going on is my scale broken... lol!

This Monday I'll be 6 weeks post-op. I was losing 1-3lbs a day, I haven't changed a thing, but now I have only loss 2-3lbs in the past 2.5 weeks. I understand there will be stahls or plateaus everyone hits, but this soon and for this long?

I'm just wondering if this is normal? Any suggestions on how I can get back to losing a lb or 2 a day lol! I was doing great up to 9 days ago and now I'm in a stand still, haven't loss anything and I'm only a little over 4 weeks post op. I thought you didn't hit plateaus til couple months out. I think its bc my scale knows I want to get into the 2's,

WOndering if anyone has had to take this post-op..... (I'm lil over 4 weeks out)

I'm a mom of 4, rangng in the ages of 2-13 and I'm looking for Bariatric recipe sites that would be kid-friendly as well as sleeve friendly.... Suggestions.... Only site I've really found is a ww site Emilysbites.com (i think thats it)

Does anyone eat sausage or hot dogs (no bread)? If so how long did you wait? Also how long did you wait til you ate a homemade pizza made out of either flatbread or low card tortilla? I was told to wait 6 months before doing full on Pasta and any type of bread untoasted, but I can eat toasted bread within 7 days. Anyone know why? Has anyone tried Dumplings/potstickers? Sorry for all the questions just curious

how long did you wait before you ate flatbread, how many weeks out?

I found a solution to m thirst Watermelon. It really quenches my thirst for the most part, I can only eat a few pieces at a time but that works for me lol!!

Crystal Light makes me sick and gives me pain in my stomach so I don't touch it anymore. I had another post on that. A couple people said it's that special ingredient in it aspartam.

I've tried that and accidently done the big gulp and had the pain, which is not so pleasant. Everyone tells me to do ice pops, sf of course, but I think they make it worse.

I know what you mean especially with the heat and humidity outside..... i just want a big glassof Water and my kids laugh bc I'll take the smallest sips out it and just nurse it for awhile.

I'm pretty new to being sleeved, bout 22 days out. I am constantly thirsty no matter how much cold water I drink, which isn't as much as I would like bc I can't take big swallows at all or else I'm hurting. Also how long before your able to drink normally or at least take a couple ounces at a time.

I drink ice cold Water all the time no prolems. I'm going to try the 4C Green Tea drink packets I bought and see what happens with those. It was my first time drinking crystal light after getting sleeve, and probably my last lol!

No abdominal pain I felt like crap most of the day yesterday.... I drank the Crystal light natural lemon iced tea. I bought last night those 4c energy green tea mixes and now I'm worried I'll have the same effect with them

No and it was cold, but as soon as I drank my stomach was like oh no. I felt real tired and cramps with the sick to my stomach feel. I'm still new only 3 weeks post op.

Does anyone get pains or cramps after drinking crystal light???

..

Way to go, can't wait to do this. Tell me your secrets 4 months, 96lbs!

I'm walking and doing other stuff like cleaning. So, probably next week I'll be good to start weights and doing a treadclimber. Thanks appreciate the info

HI, I'm 17 days post-op I've lost 20lbs since surgery. 36lbs since I started the pre-op diet 2 weeks post-op. I wanted to know when anyone started really exercising. I feel ok but if I do anything that involves alot of movement I'm pretty sore quickly. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciate

When I went into my surgeon's office for the pre-op surgical appt yesterday, they gave me info on ordering a Medical Alert bracelet and a piece of paper that explained what it shouldsay on it. My surgeon said that it was recommended because you never know.

I looked at Amazon and the shipping cost is crazy, I think I will have to go with ebay. Someone just told me that the Atkins shakes are the same, have the same nutritional volume and everything, but much cheaper. I know we have to be on the Optifast for 12 days prior to shrink the liver so I'm wondering if Atkins shakes do the same. I never heard of medifast before?
