I heard 6 weeks for really tough work-outs.

Looking great! Check out WWW.bodyfatguide.com it has lots of info on how to help loose skin. Keep up the good work!

It happened to me at 4 weeks. I had gone to a baby shower and nibbled on a few things that i shouldn't have. It went down so well, guess i got cocky. Went home and and took a bite of my sons bean burrito, and it wouldn't go down.... What came up in the bathroom, was the weirdest thing. Don't overeat, or eat too fast or the Slime Monster will come to visit!

You look terrific! It's pictures like yours, that give me HOPE!

If your feeling alright, then your probably ready...You've heard the drill, chew,chew,chew! I was sleeved on jun15 and have been eating solids for a week. You WILL know, if you eat too fast, or don't chew well enough...

Sorry, didn't mean to be nasty, just an expression of speech. I'm really happy you had a chance to get out your frustrations, before you choked your Husband.

Wow! Sounds like you guys are losing at a good speed to me. I was sleeved 6/15 and have only lost 27 lbs so far. Went through a week long stall, and have just started to see some movement again. I read on here that if your not getting enough calories and water your body will stop losing. check out this web site, it may help...www.fitnessfrog.com/calculators.html

Sorry, got to agree with Notime. Instead of having a meltdown, it's time to pull on the big girl panties, and do it yourself. Ultimately, it's up to us to get what we need! Don't worry about the stall, you'll work yourself through it. Good Luck!

Hang in there, it will happen! How many calories are you eating and are you exercising? I went through a two week stall, and read on this forum that if you don't eat enough calories your body will go into starvation mode. As soon as I added more calories to my diet, the stall broke. Good luck!

Wow! That's like being on a car forum and asking which is better, Chevy or Ford? I suspect, many people on this forum like and respect their Doctor, so your going to get alot of personal opinions. I went to Cancun, used DR.Verboonen, had my surgery at a medical center, not a hospital. Now, that may scare you, but I had a good experiance, very little pain and no complications. So I'm happy!

When were you sleeved? You definitely want to stay hydrated, but other than that, I can't see why not!

Everyone's different, some heal quicker than others. I have a sit down job and probably could have gone back after 1 week, but I stayed off for 10 days.

Hang in there, it gets better! While in Mexico for my surgery in Jun, I had trouble sleeping and decided to watch TV. The only thing on was cooking shows in spanish..LOL!

I didn't ask my Doctor, he didn't mention it. I was off all pain meds by day four and driving by day five!

Yes, once you begin to lose weight you will notice how your knees and back don't hurt as much. I'm sleeping better, and my asthma and allergies seem better as well! I'm down 25lbs as of now. As you get to feel and look better, your self-esteem should go up. Someone else mentioned it, but it couldn't hurt to get some counseling now before the surgery. Good luck, and hugs from the mid-south! Terri

If your parents are worried about Mexico, then go to Cancun. It's a great vacation destination. I had my surgery there and took the family. Everyone had a great time and I had no worries at all! I used Dr.Verboonen and have had no problems what so ever!

Thanks! Going to check out the recipes now.

I agree with CLK, you may be pushing your new sleeve. I had to be on liquids for two weeks after surgery. Sometimes, your tummy gurgling doesnt mean hunger it means it's there's to much acid in you stomach. I take Omeprazole and that helps alot. Next time you think your hungry, sip your Water and take your pill. Good luck!

Lot of good advice on here. Bottom line, only you can decide if this is a marriage worth saving. Anyone can make a mistake, but to blame you is totally crap, and i'm pretty sure a counselor will call him out on that!

I emailed my facilatator and she recommended B12 shots. Has anyone tried that?

I understand what your going through. Down 21 lbs in 6 weeks, that's counting pre-op. Not as much as I had hoped for. But I am losing inches and things that were too tight, are now loose! I read on here, if your not getting in your Protein, and eating enough calories you wont lose as quick, so I had to make myself eat more, and get my protein in and guess what, next day I dropped a pound.

I could also use more support on MFP.. I'm Terri travel!

Get well quick! Gotta start rockin that sleeve!

You look Great! Keep up the good work!

Congrats on your weight loss! Sounds like your surgery went well. Sorry to hear your cat's not well. It's a hard thing to know she's on her last days. Just love her, make her comfy and remember the happy times.
