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!!

Morning!! I'm also maintaining but I'm stuck....need to loose more and it's making me angry that the weight lost has stopped. Other than that I'm doing!!

Thanks! we all look fabulous inside and out!!

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!!

Count me in!!

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!!

Stay lifted and prayed up!! Where there is a will there is a way!!

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!!

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!
