  1. It sounds like low sugar. I went through something similar lasted a week. I had to had a form of sugar to my daily diet. I added OJ. I started feeling better after a few days.
  2. New grandmother....congrats girl on the loss. I have said to many people I know it's not how fast you lose it's the fact you are losing. Keep up the great work And I agree with the negative comments. I feel there is a way to tell someone they aren't doing the right thing or that you don't agree with their decisions without coming off rude or nasty. I too have see a pattern on who continuously gives negative feedback or comments. I tend to ignore them. They will post on your topics but once you see the pattern of who is and who isn't nasty it makes it easier to skip over them in a post. I'm so happy you're feeling better. I go through days every now and then when I feel down. But we will get Through it and we will look amazing!
  3. Every Sunday morning. I weigh in, measure as take a picture. The weekly change is crazy.
  4. I had my first few bites today at almost 7 weeks. Only 3 bites and I was done. But all went well
  5. My dr pulled mine off at my first follow up. 10 days. They were so sore for a day and the the air helped heal them pretty quickly.
  6. I slept on my side and stomach night of surgery. Dr told me if I was not in pain then I could. There's a lot of cushion between my actual stomach and my skin. Lol
  7. I read and responded and you are fine and still doing great. Oh if you have a Japanese restaurant you can also get meso soup or their onion soup.
  8. You'll be fine. Those noodles are so soft. We all have a weak moment it's just making sure we dont have a lot of them. At 7 days I had a bite of a cheese stick and was so worried. My doc laughed at me when I told him.
  9. That's incredible. Congrats and keep up the amazing job
  10. I'm not ashamed. I just don't tell everyone because simply its not their business. If they were to ask how I'm doing it chances are I'd tell them to truth. Don't have time to come up with a story. However it isn't something that would just come up in any given conversation.
  11. I'm with UTgal. I don't really put a lot of thought into it. I know it's not much. I'd think I do about 10g a day
  12. That's great. I'm looking forward to the VS bra. That's probably one of my great milestones
  13. I've been thinking a lot about things I want after I lose the rest of my weight. Hoping I don't have serious loose skin. I want a boob life and possible reduction if they don't go down more. And since I'm part of the no booty crew I'm seriously considering butt implants. Everyone thinks I'm crazy but I want curves not a board lol.
  14. I did this. But there is a lot of oil in it so be careful. Also onion Soup with the onions strained out. Minestrone with everything strained out. I tried everything to not drink straight chicken/beef broth
  15. I've told people. Not everyone, mainly close friends and family. No one asks me too many questions. But a few of my friends have had it done so they will just ask about my experience with something we've both been through. The main person is my grandma who asks me every time I see her how much I've lost, but she's 85 so I let it slide lol
  16. I know some can do it. I have fibromyalgia and I'm sure that is adding to it. Plus it's cold and raining here.
  17. My doctor had me out of work for a full 6 weeks. He says it's to give my body time to heal and get used to eating and being tired. So today is my first day back and I am exhausted. Just over an hour left of my shift and I'm barely going to walk out of here lol. I have no idea how some of you go back to work so fast. Just a small ranting.
  18. I weighed every day my first week and realize how bad it was for me emotionally. Although I was losing if I didn't lose as much as I wanted I would get upset. Now I weigh, measure and snap my progress pic every Sunday
  19. I am on it. I have slight reflux which burns so bad at night if I don't take it. Right after surgery I opened the capsule and pour in my mouth. Now I just swallow the pill directly.
  20. I have a strawberry/banana smoothie. It's from target and sorry I don't know the name. But it's 22g of protein for the bottle. I love the taste. There are other flavors but I can't recall what they are.
  21. My dr said it can stretch the sleeve and it's taking up space in your small stomach with empty calories. Why drink soda when you can have something substantial?!
