gypsy it shows we are normal because there are a lot of us that stall and balance between 2 freaking lbs. lol. im up and down man now back to 225 thinking its water but got to 220 didnt stay there long bounced back to 222 so now its 222/225 again. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

vegetarian life is ok a little confusing at times but the past two days i cooked for my son and it was fried chicken red beans rice and cornbread and i ate the chicken. but its only been like 3 weeks

I KNOW PPL who followed everything like they were suppose to and are still losing very slowly. everyones body is differant. for example myself i am pear shaped and my upper body loses way before the lower half catches up. i looked at my face and neck today and they were so damn skinny, looked at the lower half and was like wow. see i did my research and i have a lot of substantal fat which is the most stubborn. a lot of ppl who loses really fast, well they are heavier on top. ie men. so yes they will lose way more faster. and the women that are heavier on top also. i am a slow loser but i have not gained any weight either. and yes it might take me 12-18 months to get to goal but guess what i will get there, maybe not in 6 months like most ppl here. but i also would like to see those ppl down the road.

super, is successful i think that is forgotten, she might not got to goal your way but guess what she got to goal. thats it and thats all.

cant wait for a 12 thats my goal size

thanks guys

soocal thanks didnt know that. will get some

i do, its to tuff raw for me so i steam it for a few seconds

mysleeve i can eat everything also. but potatos and rice fill me up very very fast so i stay away from those it hurts makes it feel like my first day out lol

sue peeps i eat fresh veggies everyday. my main staple of choice is kale, bok choy broccoli, asparagus

super thanks again, ive been researching and because i am pear shaped i have a lot of substantial fat if i spelled it right. it takes way longer to burn off than lets say a rounder person meaning the apple shape who carry most of thier weight in the upper regieon, i noteced my top half is really small but the bottom has not caught up. i am at peace now knowing about your story its just goingto take me longer than 6 months to reach goal.

erp what are mock meats. i recently found out texturized protien is not good for you because of a chemical they use to seperate the protien and fiber in soybeans. i have found some good stuff at trader joes to eat but mostly processed but i do watch the sodium and because i cant eat mch i eat less of the serving anyway

super :) your are super cool in my book. you have just said everything i have tried to say but i have a hard time putting things into words. thank you so much for that. OMG thank you for making me realize i am normal. when i planned on having the surgery i no longer wanted to diet, diet, diet no more low carb no more starving myself.. I have always eaten healthy just to much of it. the surgery helps me control my portions and like your yes i enjoy food just like before surgery just cant enjoy like i use to. again your are super for posting this

nlv i was giving you a kudos for a job well done, did you really read what i said about you. i read how you are doing your own thing and i was giving you a thumbs up. please read again. NLV my grammer sucks just read that last part again

i want to be 200 so bad and cant get out of the 20's

dont just watch give some tips and stuff

sue i will see you there soon

Calling all veggies, I need your help, I am new to this and need ideas so far I am doing well. trying to eat the complete protiens and trying not to eat the processed soy that a chemilcal is used to seperate the fiber from the protien. and trying to eat veggies that have more portien and making them a complete protein. so please chime in old and new veggies since the sleeve

this is more common than ppl that lose a lot of wieght in a short period of time. it appears to be normal

sharon thanks. i say forget the numbers. going from a size 24/26 to a 16 beat the numbers any day

for me you are not alone at first i was 225/226 for almost 2 months now its 222/225 now for almost a month i think its just common to many of us are going through this some are very lucky they are not. hang in there

scorpian ive been in the other forum i created post op september. I can eat anything and dont get sick anymore. i try to eat a balanced diet everyday i log every day. my nut put me on a shake a day. and my hair has yet to fall out. oh and i am now a vegetarian

thank you skinny well said. i also didnt get the surgery to diet again i got it to not diet controlled portiions. im not low carb, low fat eat this eat that. i am doing well. my numbers are not big on the scale but my inches are off the charts check out the pic. its true there are some ppl that try and make you feel bad because you not doing what they did. hats off to those ppl. but i feel my program through kaiser is great and the stages i went trhough worked fine. so kudos to SHARON, SKINNY, AND NTV. I AM NOT A COOKIE CUTTER, I AM ME AND YOU ARE YOU.
