I just saw my doc and Nut for my 3 month post op appt (actually 2 1/2 mo. out) Although I have been a really slow loser (-37.8 lbs from start) I have lost inches. They were happy w my progress, more than I was. Anyhow they assured me I was doing everything right and to keep at it. I now have to start with Calcium chewables to help w my teeth and bones to prevent losing teeth or getting bone fractures (scary thought)... The best part was getting told that I am now cleared to go ahead and consume alcohol! Yay! Perfect for this holiday weekend. Has anyone here had alcoholic beverages and felt sick? My NUT told me to b careful because my body would feel the alcohol super quick. keepin it real

Well put. keepin it real

You look so happy!! Thnx for posting ur pix, they are great motivators!! keepin it real

I was sleeved 3/12/12 and I'm down 35lbs TOTAL. That is definitely NOT great for being 2 1/2 months out :/ and I'm eating "normally". Of course I get all my Protein in first (about 60g daily) and consume about 800 calories daily, with absolutely NO carbonated drinks. At my 6 wk post op check I was consuming 400-500 calories a day and was told by my NUT that I had to up my cals to break my stall....well I have only lost 5 lbs since then..Tomorrow I go in to see my dietitian, we'll see what she tells me now, maybe up my cals again (which freaks me out, sounds like too much). This weight needs to starts dropping! Ugh! keepin it real

Yes this can happen to anyone. Hope u start feeling better keepin it real

Be weary of eggs...a lot of ppl have difficulty w them because of the volume. keepin it real

MFP is MyFitnessPal...its an app that allows u to track ur daily calorie intake, as well as ur Protein intake Andy much more...check it out and add me highpower4me is my profile name. keepin it real

I find myself doing the same thing. I think its because I can't eat too much during my 3 main meals so I end up nibbling here and there...thank goodness for MFP that keeps me on track ) keepin it real

Aww, my husband told me he loved me the way I was and that I didn't need to have the surgery. Now, that I had it he tells me that he's proud of me for doing what I wanted and he still thinks I didn't need the surgery :-) We all have a loving man by our side!! It's wonderful! keepin it real

Congrats....on ur way!! keepin it real

Goof luck And I hope u get to feeling better. Oh and Congrats on all that weight u dropped!! keepin it real

I was drinking my Protein drinks mixed w lactose free milk but I was in a major stall so decided to mix it w Water instead, and unfortunately that didn't budge my stall still trying to find ways to lose weight. keepin it real

Ahh yes Wendy's!! I love their small chili, 210 cal and 17g Protein make for an awesome lunch ) 3/12/12

Omg! I have been an extremely slow loser as well.. I was in a stall for about 3 wks, and then dropped 2 lbs in a wk and half. This is too slow, I am wondering when the weight loss will continue. Started at 262 now at 228 :/ I'm 9 wks out tomorrow. 3/12/12

Wow!! U look awesome 3/12/12
