Thank you!! I think I'm Gnna put away my scale for a couple weeks! :-)

Oohh okay thank u all so much!!!!

What was your pre-sleeve weight? I was sleeved a day before you and have lost only 4lbs more than you. I am also training for a half marathon and run every day so without clearance to exercise yet you are doing fantastic!! You don't want it to fall off overnight anyways .... less skin problems!! Be patient

My pre sleeve weight was 276 in September!

On day of surg I was 261. And today I'm 240!

Hope tomorrow at my check up they say I'm lower than 240 lol I'm Gnna wear the lightest clothes I have lol

Thank you everyone sooooo much forte feedback and encouragement I needed it today!

Ok I will smile and hope to get to excersize tomorrow :-)

It's 21 pounds since I was sleeved on 11/7. Does that sound good? lol

Total since 11/2/12 I've lost 36 pounds. But since 11/7 I've only lost 21! :-( super bummed about it. Tomorrow is my post op follow up and I'm hoping to get the clearance to excercise. Has anyone experienced a stall once they went in soft foods? I'm totally bummed right now.

I am experiencing vertigo now. What did you do to treat it? How long did it last? Did you have problems with vertigo pre surgery?

Thank you for your help. I have an appointment with my surgeon next week.

I had vertigo like 7 years ago only. My doc gave me some excersizes to do to align the crystals. I'll message u the excersizes. It's better now, I only have the dizziness now when I turn my head left or lay down on my left side. I'll send u te info k.

You're looking great! You can definitely tell the difference.

Thank you SweetTeeeeee :-) i can def tell in my legs. I have ankles again yay lol

Ok here I am 3 weeks post op today!

Down -33 pounds!

In the morning I take 2 chewable flintstones. Then at lunch one chewable Kirkland Sugar Free Chocolate calcium chews mnmm they taste like candy. They have vita D & K in them. Then I have another after dinner. So good. That's all I take.

I bought Walmart brand fat free refried Beans. Mmmm I put skim milk motzerella cheese on it n a dab of light sour cream. Supper good and this was when I was on purée stage. Doesn't make me gasy :-)

Woohoo u look great!!! Make sure ur chicken is really moist n soft. I put mine in the crock pot

I'm 5 weeks out and have a severe burning sensation in my esophagus/ throat is this normal?...and remedies?

I was prescribed protonix to prevent that the first 3o days after surgery.

I just have a quick question on cheese. I am in the pureed stage (2 weeks out) and my doc said I can now have eggs and lowfat cheese. Does anyone know what the maximum fat content should be? I bought Kraft reduced fat sharp cheddar made with 2% milk (6 gm fat) but I barely got through 1/2 of my scrambled egg and cheese mixture before I started feeling uncomfortable. Thank you.

My dietician told me for this stage to just use the skim motzerella cheese. I bought some shredded and also string cheese.

Thanks everyone for your feedback! Yes getting in all my fluids and Protein each day! I just lost a pound so maybe it is best I only weigh myself every week haha :-)

My weight loss has stayed still for a week :-( I was losing a pound a day when on just liquids. Who has experienced this? Is this normal?

Sleeved 10/18/12 today lost 25 lbs post op total 41 lbs all together:)

Wow you look amazing!!! U don't even hv loose Tummy skin! Well not that I can tell! Very inspirational! May I ask how much u eat a day? How many oz can u eat and do u still drink Protein shakes daily?

Breath**

Hi all..my questions today are these:

1) Anyone have a drain hole thats still healing RIGHT under their breast and how are you dealing with a bra?!

2) When can I eat a bananna? I am a November 12th sleever!

3) My breath STINKS and I think it's the Protein I'm ingesting! I mean it's like a film on my tongue practically! (I know gross!) Anyone else? And they say NO gum! So now what?!

Thanks everyone!

Read my thread on bad breathe! :-)

Damn spell check lol I hope u know what I mean with my typos haha. I don't hv recipes but that's what I been eating :-)

I'm on puréed for another week. I love steamed squash! Fat free refrained brand w skim mozerella cheese & a dab of light sour cream is delicious! Cottage cheese w fruit. I put my fruit in the blender. Smashed banana! chicken salad, ur own super soft chicken or the one that comes in a can w a lil light mayo! Or soft scrambled egg w light mayo for a egg salad. Super good! My veggies I steam n just chew forever. I try to stay away from maybe but my dietician recommended it. :-)

Wed I'll be 3weeks out and yes I still can over do it! My 2nd week I over did it n just rested the whole week. Did u know it takes a year for ur insides to fully heal? So be careful all. Resting as much as I can till I go back to work in 2weeks :-)

Today I was all Walmart shopping for 2 hours & felt tired after. Guess my body still getting used to this. Man, best choice I ever made. Beat luck to everyone!
