to curvyj, don't give up darling, keep up the good work !!!

yes ! Very slow but will start the gym on 3/13 for sure to give the weight loss a kick LOL hopefully with the running i can loose a little more than just the 50 lbs.

yes I went to a support group a month ago and their were people there a month out which lost 50 lbs., so I guess everyone is different and they loose the weight differently :-)

thank you !! I am very proud, this surgery was the only way to loose the weight :-) gotta stay positive and focus on the other 65 lbs. i have to loose to get to my goal. Will be going to the gym this week, so looking forward it.

50 lbs in 5 months, it was slow but it sure feels good !!

thank you !! i definitely ate too fast and much :-( pain lasted a 1 1/2 day, will watch next time :-)

Could it be that my sleeve is completely healed and now the swelling went away ? Please help ! I ate half of a wrap chicken salad, threw away the wrap and just ate the chicken salad on thursday but have been in pain since then, maybe i over ate or it was too heavy for me ?

I definitely waited about 8 weeks before my first drink, now i can't seem to stop drinking, i need to stop bc i'm afraid of what the consequences will be later on. I have a very stressful job so at night i like a vodka and crystal light, definitely will stop from today forward. maybe i should start working out instead drinking :-)

thank you all for the advice, i deeply appreciate it, went to the doctor today and he recommend me to see my primary care doctor right away, he also told me to start the exercise routine, continue with the protein and LOTS of water daily, he thinks i may be dehydrated, so i will listen to him and make sure i do all that, 2 months ago he said my blood work was normal but he wants me to have another one in 2 weeks bc i see him again on 1/24/12. I feel confident that following his advise i will definitely get/feel better :-) Again, thank you all for the advice !!

the protein is not regular, i'm actually sick of them so sometimes i don't drink the protein shakes and water is not enough either, need to improve on both but very hard I'm usually not thirsty so i don't drink as much :-(

HI everyone, next week will be 3 months of having surgery and I find myself without ENERGY, with no desire to do anything, not sure what the problem is but IM NERVOUS, I need to give my weight loss a push but can't seem to get ANY ENERGY at all. My feet and hands are always cold too, not sure what that is all about either. Does anyone have any suggestions for me ? Will see surgeon tomorrow and plan on telling him what it's going on.

thank you all for the supporting words, starting the gym on monday so looking forward to speed up the weight loss that way !!

Oh Ok i was sleeve on 9/19 this wednesday will be 8 weeks and like i said, I'm very hungry and without energy to workout, i will try to do some exercise today see how i feel, i have the elliptical at home and i can always go to the gym too. let's see what happens tonight lol

this coming wednesday and only 30 lbs down, stalling and hungry all the time !! has anyone struggling like i am ??

for those who want to know about my exercise, my doctor said 3 months but i don't know why so long, he said i'm still healing and it's too soon. So Im gonna follow his rules. for those who wanted to know about my food, i only eat 3 times per day and not a lot at all.

thanks for your feedback from all of you, not exercising yet, my doctor said 3 months and not even a month yet, so i guess i have to wait. maybe I'm just over reacting, i have done research and noticed how everyone drops weight like there is no tomorrow. i will see the doctor this week so i will ask him about my blood work, if everything is normal.

not loosing weight like others have, this friday the 19th It will be my 1 month anniversary and have only lost 14lbs, total 25lbs since the pre-surgery diet. could i be doing something wrong ? please get back to me with some feedback.

Wow !! I love all the responses I've gotten on this, it def. helps with al the doughts i had. Thank you again everyone that commented, i truly appreciate it !!!

thank you all for the feedback, this happened to me when i had cream of mushroom soup but i had had 2 hand fulls of peanuts before the soup was cooked and when i had chicken broth i had had 8oz of the protein shake before i had the broth, i think i ate too fast and that's why it happened that day i had not eaten in about 6 hours.

I WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE HAS EXPERIENCED NAUSEA AND COLD SWEATS AFTER EATING FOOD, IT HAPPENED TWICE TO ME ALREADY AND NOT SURE WHY IM FEELING THIS WAY. IT HAPPENED BOTH TIMES WHEN I WAS HAVING SOUP.

@desertmom - thanks for your comment ! I hope that this will pass soon, maybe it has to do with the water retention since i'm expecting "you know what" this week ?? not sure I'm hoping that's the reason LOL

@ tony179@aol.com - no exercise yet 3 weeks post surgery now and will see my doctor on 10/18/12, maybe he will tell me then what the next step will be :-)

I'm having Danon Light and Fit yogurt with the protein shake an hour before in the AM. Then i have tuna or chicken salad with 4 crackers for lunch, then if i want something else i have sf Jello or have a piece of string cheese, for dinner i have my protein shake and maybe some chicken broth. I'm definitely not eating that much but no weight loss this week. Could i be doing something wrong ?? Please get back to me, i would love to hear everyone's opinion regarding the food intake and what you all have experienced. Thank you !!

Ok thanks to both for your information, i've been doing window shopping but nothing else for now, will definitely take your advise on waiting at least the 8 weeks . I see my surgeon next thursday and will ask him again when he can give me the go to workout :-)
