I definitely feel sexier...my confidence is showing in bed...last night especially . The attention I've been getting is a little uncomfortable but tolerable. I've never been used to getting it so now it's odd.

I started at 256 on 11/15. Since then I've only lost 45 pounds. Seeing the weight loss in my face, I just wish it was coming off quicker. My friend had her surgery not even a month ago and is down almost the same amount. She started off at 313 but it still frustrates me that it's not comin off a fast for me

Can't believe how amazing everyone looks! I'm jealous!

So as I'm preparing my food shopping list, I'm wondering what's on everyone else's? What do you do for your protein? What do you use as a carb?

Part of my protein intake is premier protein shake for breakfast...it's 160 calories 3gs of fat...I think maybe 6 carbs. And it tastes like chocolate milk to me.

Can anyone tell me their daily calorie and carb intake? I've been in a stall and my nut said not to worry about anything but my protein. I'm looking for ways to break this stall and keep the weight coming off.

I take flintstones with iron

Has anyone else had oily really loose stool? I'm concerned because my stool has been like this for a few days. I'm on a normal diet and about 10 weeks out of surgery.

Well today was my first day at the gym, and it wasa doozy. First off I was far off my water intake and protein for the day so as I finished my first day of couch to 5k I realized how out of shape I was when my chest started to hurt, and then started seeing spots along with a horrible headache. Needless to say I sat down and sipped some water and felt a little better. I'm now home sipping on some strawberry apple juice from whole foods to try and get myself feeling a little less woozy. Note to all, don't push yourself too far past where you can go.

I've had a george foreman for a few years, but now I'm looking for a replacement. I am trying to decide between a newer george foreman of a cusiniart griddler. If you have either can suggest one because I'm really not sure!

same problem here. down 33lbs in about 2 months. had sleeve on 11/15. major problems with bm's. i feel like im losing so slow. the scale even said i gained today! im just so frustrated

Happy New Years everyone! Mine is starting off great! I started off at a size 20 and yesterday I realized my 16w's were a little big. I tried on a pair of regular 14's and they fit. So ecstatic!

when you search his name it says banned

I learned the hard way that my sleeve and coffee do not mix. I had a small skim milk latte and not even 10 minutes later I felt nauseas and had to run to the bathroom. Thankfully it came out the other end, but it was horrible! Can anyone here handle coffee?

Can anyone suggest a calcium citrate with calcium and magnesium? I'm having trouble finding one. I have trouble with chewables, so I've been cutting up my mutlivitamin and swallowing it like that. But the calcium citrate i can't find.

anyone having trouble with BM's? It was a little over a week before I finally went tonight. I'm on soft foods starting yesterday, but I don't know why I haven't been going. Three days of miralax and I was finally able to go, but what gives?

Just got out of the doctor. I had a piece of skin hanging that they cut off and she said there's a tiny hole that should heal up no problem. So relieved.

I called the doctor and the nurse practitioner who answers phone calls isn't in today so by tomorrow I should have a response. The stuff coming out of it is gross. I just cleaned it with a little soap and water since that's what I'm allowed to do when I shower. Hopefully it stops oozing soon.

My belly button incision was really dry, peeling and it looked horrible. Last night I put a&d ointment on it and now this is what it looks like and I don't know what to do

i guess that's most of us. When i got switched over to mushy i did all this food shopping and it's like i don't want to make any of it or see it. Today I made shelly's ricotta bake and got down 1.3 oz. I don't know what's wrong but i'm scared i'm not getting eenough in.

Anyone else having trouble with not drinking while eating? I find my mouth is always extremely dry! On my second phase we are allowed to eat watermelon, so I eat watermelon with every meal to keep my mouth wet. How are you keeping your mouth from getting so dry?

What multivitamins does everyone take? The doctor recommended centrum chewable orange, and I can't stand the taste. I just can't take the vitamininy? Taste.

The past few days I've had trouble getting liquids in without feeling nauseas...I have diarrhea a chronic dry mouth and no energy what so ever. I'm having trouble staying awake too. I'm two weeks out tomorrow and going nuts! Anyone else have similar problems

Ouch! I was staying with my parents the first week out of surgery and I returned home. I've been doing a little more, went out and did a little shopping today, and all I can say is my incisions hurt! My belly button one especially is killing me. I go for my checkup and after surgery class tomorrow, so I'm hoping everything is alright with my incisions. The belly button one is always warmer than the rest but I'm figuring that's because of where it is. Hoping everything will come back alright.

Whoops was red orange. When they gave me something to throw up in I swear there's was a piece of red stringy tissue
