Happy New Year Post Op September Sleevers!! I'm praying we're all still staying focused and positive about the choices we make!

Morning and Happy Holiday's!! I'm trying to stay focus but it's really hard. I need to get back on my Protein Shakes to get off this stall. Working out daily but not losing.

Still determined that we can continue what we started!! Keep the Faith!!

Good morning friends!!

Everyone is quiet here so I hope that's a good sign that we are all doing well and being successful. I'm just trucking along. Nothing new to add. I'm maintaining my weight but I know I should make healthier food choices. I stay at a good calorie count but just not with healthy stuff. I even ate 5 pieces of bacon yesterday!!!! Ouch!!!

Yummy but not good for me.

You look fabulous!!!!

Happy Anniversary September Sleevers!! Keep your head held high because we did it!! Continue our journey and we will be fine as wine!!

Looking fabulous post op Setember sleevers! It's been awhile since I've been on here but I keep up with the post on my phone. The updates keep me encouraged and strong because I'm a slow loser with many stalls. But I can tell more and more in the inches.

Remember this...Be grateful for the stuff you go through --- it's all working together for YOUR good! My daily prayer!!

Oh Lord, it's girl scout cookie time! They are out everywhere. Give me the strength to just say NO!

Happy Holday's to All!! It's amazing how well we all are doing! Feels good to see that our hard work is paying off. I've been doing good just trying to get my Protein in and exercise when I can. Feels so good to be off majority of my medicines and return to the workplace. My journey started off with congestive heart failure and cardiac arrythmia which had me on at least 9 different medicines which caused me to be put on long disability. So, we decided that the sleeve will help me and it has changed my life! Only on 4 meds, all the Vitamins and released off disability Jan 2013!! THANK GOD for the sleeve and my September Sleevers!! Reading your blogs and status has lifted my spirits and gave me so much encouragement!!

We are all doing great! Remember what we looked like and felt like before September 2012...Faith is trusting the process of letting go!! blessed, faith and not giving up!!

I'm in!

DOS weight: 248

Today's weight: 226

Goal weight for Thanksgiving day: 211

We can do this!!

Please add me: mlkthomas

Congrats!! It's a journey but well worth it!!

What foods feel like that. For me it's sliced deli meats and Jello? I have lost 20 since surgery but I don't see mine like i see yours. U look like you have lost much more. Keep it up.

Thanks, sorry I have been offline the last couple of days. chicken breast and scrambled eggs seem to give me the stuck feeling. I retained so much Fluid before my surgery due to my heart problems. So, I believe a lot of that was fluid that I lost.

Thank you! I've lost 22 lbs post surgery and it feels good. I just have a problem getting certain food down...stuck feeling. Chew very well but no more than 2-4 oz. Water and Protein Shakes no problem.

@Ich256 and @SAAH'SMom, it's encouraging to see that ya'll are doing so well! Reading some of these post makes me have mixed feelings....what's right and wrong. So, I follow my NUT directions. I'm 4 weeks tomorrow post-sleeve and I feel blessed but I know I have a long journey ahead!

Become friends on MFP my ID name is mlkthomas

Tomorrow will be 1 month since surgery. I'm still having the stuck feeling with certain foods. I just want to be able to sit down to eat and everything goes down easy. Getting my Water intake and Protein Shakes are very easy....why is food so hard?? tuna, fish and popsicle are my best friend. This is very hard to meet my calorie goal......just keeping the hope and faith this too shall pass.

@MDM0927, I'm going to try almonds

I'm mlkthomas on myfitnesspal....join me!

I loved the Special K pink lemonade mix but I haven't been able to find it the last 6 months. Where do you buy it?

It's so hard living on Protein Shakes and Popsicles when my family ate el pollo loco and Taco Bell in front of me. Also at work today was pizza, chocolate cake and coke. Ugh I really miss my diet coke more than anything.

I buy mine from Walmart and HEB. I'm so tired of the Protein shakes, I'm going to have to start mixing some fruit with them to give them different takes. I so want a diet dr. pepper!

Thanks for helping me keep the strength...newgrandmother, ready4change77, MDM0927, and Justin13!! I'm still on liquids but so tired of the Soups, Protein Shakes and JELLO!! I'm keep plenty of Fluid down by mixing the Special K20 pink lemonade Protein to my Water. But I so want some food other than liquids, my doctor requires 3 weeks I cooked smoothered pork steaks, broccoli rice casserole for my family today and survived

Surgery went well on the 19th, came home last night and had a hard time sleeping. I don't like sleeping on my back, so I tossed and turned from side to side. Feeling good today, could not drink the Protein shake....just a couple of sips but plenty of Water and walking

Surgery tomorrow, so excited about this long journey! Moving forward and determined!!

Thanks, I can't sit still too long. I have a grand baby on the way and I want to be able to move around if needed

I'm September 19th!! I'm nervous and excited at the same time. Really worried about the post op....when will I be able to move around
