    Teachers? Where Are The Teachers?

    Well I wouldn't worry about their comments...you can always use what I say...I am exercising and eating high Protein and very little carbs. In the end, it doesnt matter what they say because people will always have comments good and bad...

    Teachers? Where Are The Teachers?

    Well I am a fifth grade teacher as well and the good thing is that this is a new school. I do not know any of them so this will be interesting. I have not told a soul except my husband and he is great and supportive. I didn't tell any of my family members and don't intend to do so. They are all aware that I am eating better and exercising...enough said. So far so good, no one has said anything about my portion sizes but I was never a big eater anyways...

    Noisy Belly

    Mine does it all the time as well...I can't wait for it to stop. It is particularly embarrasing when its just two people in the room. I am always burping too and it is uncontrollable. I hope both end really soon!
  4. Congratulations! Keep up the good work and I am so happy for your wife as well...tell her to keep supporting you and both of you will make it to your desired goal!

    Hell Yea 271 To 239

    Yayy for you!!
  6. I just thought I would post about having a hard time getting my required water and protein in on the weekends. During the weekday it is easy because I am at work with prepared lunch and water bottles with crystal light. However, as soon as Saturday comes, I start out with my 40 oz of water and so far that is all I have managed to intake for the day. We won't even mention eating because I have hardly eaten anything all day. Is it just me or is weekends the hardest???

    Am I Wrong? :/

    I think they judge so harshly because they don't know any better. I had my surgery on July 2nd and tried to drink a maragarita but after two or three sips I was totally gone...so needless to say I have decided to let it go...LOL! Now that did not stop my weight loss and I am still losing. I may actually be hitting a stall but I will get back on my exercise this week. Good luck and don't worry your sleeve will not fail you behind a drink...LOL!

    Houston Area Surgeon

    Dr. Mirza was great and he is awesome. He follows up with his patients and makes sure you can reach him via his cell phone.

    How Much Weight

    I was sleeved on July 2nd and have lost 25 pounds. I lost 6 pounds on preop.
  12. Wow...you are doing a great job! Keep up the good work and keep the pictures coming...they are truly an inspiration!
  13. I am the same way and I was sleeved July 2nd but drink water first and see if the hunger pains subside. I am trying to eat 3 meals a day...not any more than that...I can't eat a lot either.
  14. Too funny...please don't leave the fat! :D
  15. Wow you look great! The stall will pass
  16. Try ordering it on-line. Unjury has a site and I ordered my protein from them.
  17. I had acrylic nails (solar nails) and my toes were painted. No one said anything...
  18. Yes you look GREAT! I hope and pray I have the same success!

    First 20 Pounds Update:)

    Congratulations! I have just lost my first twenty pounds too and it feels great. I have some jeans that are too big and I know I need to give them away...I can't wait until all of my larger size clothes are too big. Once again, Congratulations!!!
  20. I am trying to walk on the treadmill an hour a day at least four times a week. I have fallen off the last two weeks and only went twice. Tomorrow starts a new week so I must get started again. My doctor said that exercise really helps you to lose weight faster and of course I wanted to see results as soon as possible.

    Excersise

    I would just stick to walking. If you walk on a treadmill increase your speed and give it a slight incline lift. I will be six weeks on Monday and can't wait to be able to do some light weight lifting. I have a doctor's appointment the following week and I need to inquire about the ability to do sit-ups...
  22. I cooked beans in the slow cooker on last Sunday...I will be on regular diet starting Monday and I will take it slow. I have not tried any nuts, I thought they were excluded until after 8 weeks. I need to look at my diet progression book again...

    Week 10 progress

    You are doing such a good job...please don't get disappointed because I know you will get to your desired weight soon...just think the slower you are...the less your body has a lot of loose hanging skin..

    Woo The Stomach

    I didn't have any glue either and my doctor took off the steri-strips that hadn't fell off when I saw him at 3 weeks out. He said the incisions were fine and he must have been right cause I will be six weeks on Monday and I am doing just fine...

    New Sleever

    Well congratulations on the sleeve and getting off those medications! I pray this surgery helps to get you at your desired weight and the bypass surgery will not be necessary.
