Not in NC but here if you have questions. Hope your doing great.

I am of the understanding that journaling your food and Water is the only way to keep yourself on your daily target. I guess that's why Weight Watchers has such success. We don't have the luxury of not knowing our daily totals. Our health depends on proper Protein and Water. It's a daily struggle and to be honest most days I feel like its a full time job. However, I have accepted its what I must do. I'm so addicted to journaling with MFP now.
I wish you all a great weekend.

I'm 5 2" and I was just sleeved on July 26th. I have been having some problems and gained 17 lbs in Water weight while in the hospital. I have been home since July 31 st and I have lost all that and I'm down 3 lbs pre op plus I'm still swollen so I'm hoping to get better numbers soon.

Jeepermom - thank you for sharing. That's great info. I really need to go to a support meeting.

Good morning friends!!! Hope everyone is still working hard and having great success.
My Mom just had the Sleeve a week ago and she is doing well. Just wanted to check in with everyone.

NGM- sounds like your body is just going through an adjustment time. You are doing such a great job!!! It's hard to not get frustrated when your doing everything right. Put your scale away and just focus on your measurements. Have you taken them lately? With your increased exercise you muscle mass has got to be changing.
Measure everything.

Keeper- that's great that they offer that kind of support. I wish I had a better support group.

List of rules... Everyone please go back and check your material given to us at surgery time. It would be nice to refresh here to help us all.
Also, it would be interesting to see the differences between the list.
I have this.
1. Protein first a minimum of 60 per day (more is better) then veggies.
2. Water or liquids. Must have a minimum of 8 8oz glasses per day. Caffeine does not count.
3. Do not drink 30 min before or after you eat.
4. Eat slowly and chew your food 25 times before you swallow.
5. Eat no more than 6-8 bites. Don't stretch your stomach
What do you guys have??

I officially hit a 100 pound weight loss today!!!! I am so excited!!! I weighed in at 141.
I want to put on my dancing shoes!!!

Ok. I'm eight months out and down a total of 77 pounds since surgery. 103 pounds to include preop loss. I currently weigh 138
I had to go bra shopping because the girls have shrank. Lol!!! Being over weight my entire life... I've always had big girls. 40DD.... Today I want shopping and had to get a 34 C cup. Oh and I also need to mention I had to get all push up bras!!! Never in my life have I needed that. It felt very strange. I guess on a positive note... I did get to shop for pretty girly stuff instead of the over the shoulder bolder holders. Lol!!!

I was a 38G/H I'm a 36F now. I've lost 85lbs as of this morning and I think my boobs make it harder and easier at the same time to see the losses. I also have huge hips. I'm wearing a medium/large top and a 10 bottoms.
