Don't feel guilty you have your reasons to why you are having it done.
I had mine done on the 13 th of September. I was 174 and am now 161. I too did it for health reasons.
When is your surgery?

Good luck!

I've noticed that when I'm getting full I get a runny nose.
Have you felt anything like that? My friend says she sneezes when full. Weird this never happened to me before the surgery.

Good luck mañana.

I am so annoyed. I am 6 months out (yesterday) but l've been at a stall for 2 month going from 138 to 136 ugh! I can't figure out why I can't break it. I'm going to be doing the 5 day pouch test on Monday.

Bust the stall 1:Go on a 48-hour liquid diet. 2: For two days in a row eat two dried prunes in the morning two before bed and almost one gallon "90/120oz "of Water a day. 3: Breakfast one hard-boiled egg. snack 8 ounces Protein Shake . lunch 1/2 cup shredded lettuce with 1/2 baby Bell cheese shredded with 1/2 hard-boiled egg 1 teaspoon and a half ranch dressing. Evening snack 8 ounce Protein shake. dinner Baked chicken breast green vegetables. Before bed snack 8 ounces milk. You will be drinking 80/120 oz of water. Do this for 2 days try one you like and let me know how you did BTW I'm the stall queen I have had 7 week stalls 4 week stalls and 2/3 week stalls

I'm so impressed by your weight loss. 17 lbs away from goal. So excited for you!

Hey sleeve family,
Haven't been on here for a while but I've missed reading everyone's update. I hope all is well and that everyone is losing at a good pace.
I've been stalled for a while at 137 I have 17 lbs to goal but at the rate I'm who knows when I'll get there.
I'll try to catch up on everyone.

Hey everyone!
Haven't posted in a while.
Update on my status: STALLED
Yup I've been stalled at 137 for a long time. I'm 17 lbs from my personal goal. I need to try something to break this darn stall.

Congrats to all of you who are losing weight. I am 4 months out and I've lost 35 lbs. I'm the slowest loser ever. But I'm happy. I've lost a total of 55 lbs. Ugh this has been a long rough journey. Sending you all the best.

Good morning everyone. Like I said on a post the other day, I want to be on here more often to get support and to feel accountable for what I eat.
Yesterday was a good food day, didn't get all my Water in but I did have about 40 oz.
Have a great day.

This is a good place to start. I tried MY Fitness Pal and had a problem tracking my food since I barely ate a serving. We all have hard days and it is good to have someone slap some sense into me once and a while.

Do any if you eat Peanut Butter?
I have been eating about half an apple with about a tbsp of peanut butter.
I aslo like cottage cheese with a bit of salsa and a couple if wheat crackers.
String cheese and a couple of slices of slices turkey.
I just wish I would only stick to these. There are days I crave chips, or sweets. Ugh! At times I wish I would've decided on the rny so I couldn't eat junk food.< /p>

Hi!
How do we upload pictures?
Sue you look great.
Well I'm guilty of eating Snacks too. I am just tempted to snack all day. I put my foot down and I'm drinking my Water and keep reminding myself I can't drink and eat. I hope it works. I gained almost 2 lbs. And since I'm drink more water I lost 1. Ugh how I hate that!
I've missed you all and I'll be on here more often.
Oh I finally found out how to add pictures. When I feel brave I'll post it.

Cottage cheese and salsa?? I will have to try that. Thanks for posting. Always looking for something to do with cottage cheese and Greek yogurt.

All this talk about snacking makes me think we should list great Protein Snacks that we can all enjoy.
Currently, my favorite is Turkey Jerky. 1 oz has 13 grams if protein and it helps with my salty cravings.
2nd not a snack but today I tried the new Atkins frozen meals. Picked it up at Walmart. 23 grams of protein and it was delicious!!!!
Last, Kroger's Carb Smart yogurt!!!
What's your favorite??

I'm a little 3 months out and I'm 20 lbs to goal.
I know they say we keep losing for about a year. What happens when we get to goal before the year?
How do we maintain?
How will our little pouch handle it?
Ugh! I hate it when I start questioning myself and not know the answers.
Hope someone can help out. I emailed my nut. Maybe I can see her soon.
