  1. I had a band to sleeve done on July 27th and have lost 12 pounds since surgery date. I have ALWAYS been a slow loser and know that I am slower than most around here but I am also starting out lower than most. Maybe that's why band to sleeve revisions are typically lower because some weights might be lower start weights? I love getting full on a few bites of yummy food. I haven't started to work out yet and usually I am having to walk three miles a few times a week in order to keep my weight at 170. I have a feeling when I do workout that it will be falling off at least until I am in the 150's.Happy so far!
  2. Just curious as to when you were able to start drinking caffeine?

    July Master List

    We'll see! I have stalled off at 9 pounds of weight loss but have one more week of full liquids. I am thinking once I can eat some real food and have some energy that it will start moving again. So, not exactly on the other side yet!

    irrregular menstrual cycles

    I was sleeved on July 27th and I started last Sunday and am still a goin! My weight loss seems to have already stalled so hopefully this will help with getting me back on track.
  6. I deal with not eating by cooking too. Well, what is considered cooking in this house! LOL I think it is that after you cook something you're tired of food and don't want to eat. I can't deal with going to the movies right now or going out to eat but it doesn't bother me to cook here. Recipe sounds good btw!

    Coffee -- Need some advice

    On my first weeks list of drinks, there is decaff coffee and skim milk. So, throw those together with a little sugar free vanilla syrup? and it's a drink! I wonder if Bux makes a decaff skinny vanilla latte???
  9. Don't you think you'll be able to eat bread in time?

  11. Super Mom--Congrats on the 50 lbs!! That just fell off! Hopefully, I 'll have the same luck. SMacBeth-I also had surgery on the same day as you! I , too, have a cotton mouth with a foul metallic taste almost. Ketosis no doubt..... What we have to go through to be skinny! LOL When I got home I had blown up 9 pounds since my weigh in at surgery. So, that has dropped off plus two more. I don't think I can really count those as weight loss because it was due to the Fluid IV that I gained so much weight!

    First week out

    The first night in the hospital I had trouble going to the restroom. The nurse turned up the Fluid and it started to help me go but.......the next night after I had been going to the restroom all day the fluid wasn't turned down. I being me, didn't realize that it needed to go back down and was up peeing ALL NIGHT! Seriously, I would no more than get into the bed strap my legs back up to the "no clot" things and I'd be having to undo them withing 10-15 minutes. I should have called the nurse but didn't realize it at the time. UGH! My doc came in the next morning and I told him and he asked , "Well why are you still hooked up to this thing?" My ingenious answer, " I don't know!" So, that was my second night. The first night I couldn't sleep, to much anxiety. I walked probably every half hour except for two times that I actually was able to sleep one whole hour at a time! The nurses were great and so attentive but I was so glad to get home Friday. Home for three days now and doing OK as far as I can tell. Unfortunately, this is my last week for some summer classes that I have been taking so I can't just be a total veg and sleep as much as I would like to do so!
