It's ok she is just another one of those negative people on here... I'm on my iPhone so excuse the typos didn't know this was a grammar correcting forum

I think everyone is making great points I think ultimately we all should remain positive of our common goal which is weight lost I agree with both points being only 3 weeks post out I'm not going to eat pizza right now, but I'm sure I will and I'll have chocolate and other foods I like, but it will be done in moderation. I didn't go through this surgery to get fat again, but I will have a normal Healthy life key word Healthy, and in like even the most healthiest person has a slice of pizza now and than not every day do live life and enjoy your sleeves!! Good luck to everyone!!!

Start weight 265 on August 31st, Friday. I wasn't going to weigh in til next weekend, but they threw me on the scale today at my follow up appointment.
Drumroll please....
252! Really, 252?!
Now I understand this is mostly Water weight, but 13 pounds in 4 days is simply exciting any way you look at it!
Yay!

HEY!! one question. howd you avoid loose skin?!?! i see nothing!!!!!

Well that stinks! Oh well, on to the next thing!

Dannon lite n fit Greek I freeze them and they arr really yummy plus are fat free low sugar and have 12 gram Protein good luck!!!

When I was getting the post surgery/pre-solid food talk from my NUT I was told to chew each bite a minimum of 30 times each. and that the average meal should take 30-45 minutes to eat. I'm lucky if I can stretch my meals out to 20-25 minutes though, and I'm not eating fast at all.

Congrats and welcome! Don't be shy most of us don't bite lol... That's great 95lbs gone what's your diet if you mind sharing or your numbers I was just sleeved and I'm trying to lose half my body weight also

Where was she bragging?

Maybe you should Reread what I said and if no one was there for you or you don't feel you could tell anyone I see why your a total b***h I wouldn't support you If you were going to save the planet. Nastiness gets you know where!

Hello all I was an August 13th sleever and each day is getting better for me. I'm finding it really hard to get all my protein in, but I'm making sure I get as much as I can and staying hydrated.

To continue I had people say no you shouldn't your fine, but they were also half my size and didn't understand my struggle I started at 321 on the day of my surgery I was 297 and now I'm at280 I was sleeved 8/13/12 keep your head up and surround yourself with positive supporters which will make it a lot easier on you

Hello not to make anyone mad but should any of us be eating pizza thin crust or not I mean we all went through a major surgery for weight loss just throwing that out there

Not dropping weight as I had imagined, but clothes are getting very loose!

Makes you think your scale is broken doesn't it. I remember I was scared that it was too easy.
Whoop whoop

I'm so happy, I'm 10 days post op and have lost 14 pounds. I can get really use to this.

In the immortal words of Ice Cube "I love a woman with a big ass, not a big ass woman.".
Don't take me wrong, I'm not slamming you at all. But I am trying to create some perspective. Your friend is doing what she is supposed to do, she is loving & showing concern for you.
Think about your response. It was easy for you to stay big because your your friends made you feel comfortable with it. So it's their fault for being supportive?
Now one friend isn't comfortable with this decision & you're down on her for being unsupportive? She is saying how she feels. She is uncomfortable with WLS probably due to some misconceptions or maybe 1 or 2 bad stories she's heard or seen.
I think you are very lucky to have someone who cares enough to be uncomfortable, rather than just smiling and saying what you want to hear. If I were you I'd ask her why she thinks it's too dangerous and see if you can educate her on what she may be misinformed on. And if she can't be comfortable with you having WLS acknowledge that and appreciate her position. Let her know that you feel you need this (if you actually feel that way) and even though you understand her concerns you'd really appreciate her friendship and hope she will support you even though she may not agree with the decision.

Some people love having someone fatter than them in their life...makes them look good. Your "friend" sounds jealous and petty. Lose her.

i had a NSV today!
i bought this reeeally cute dressy trench coat like 6+yrs ago. when i bought it, it was really snug but it still "fit". i figured id lose more weight & itll fit good. then i gained weight & literally couldnt put an arm in the sleeve. well, i just tried it on & it FITS!!! like its even a lil big but asize smaller would be snug. im like so shocked right now. it feels good to know that im doing what i set out to do!

Y'all need to get a myfitnesspal account. Then you can track your food /calories / exercise and also see what everyone else is eating too. I have a couple of hundred friends on my account from here. The app is free..give it whirl. You've got nothing to lose but weight. My name is the same there as here. Look me up. There is also a thread here with names of people that have accounts. Look it up too.Good luck!

Those are good but have a lot more sugar and a lot less protein than the real Greek yogurts. If its taste I recommend using a sweetner.

I'm not responding to the shakes everyone I've had today has sent me running to the restroom... Ugh will this get better? Not the best first day on full liquids and puree
