March 1, 2013..... I am three years out, my highest weight 270, lowest 153 now 180.... I need to put myself in check and need to get back on the horse. It is so easy to go back to old habits, a piece of this or that.. the only thing I really managed to stay away from was carb beverages. I need to eat less and move more, I need to listen to myself when I am full and not push to eat that last bite. My new clothes are getting snug, and I am just so mad at myself. I just need to get it together.....

I can so realate to this.. I walked around JC penny not knowing were to go if I am not shopping in the 1x to 4x sizes. Actually I hated all of the smaller clothes and found myself wishing the larger clothes came in smaller sizes. Samething at Walmart crazy.. Oh and another thing that gets me is the sales racks when I was larger all the smaller sizes were on clearance now I am smaller and all the larger sizes are on the clearance racks .

HW 270 SW 257 CW 164 GW 155 5'6 surgery date was 3-1-13.....

Stop drinking the juice add water and crystal lite if you need flavor.

oops 43 pounds to go for goal weight of 150.. Then again I can use a little buffer

I just wanted to share to encourage others that with time we will all get to our destination. This is a journey and we are each having a different experience, keep your chin up and keep battling. My highest weight was 270 , my weight in pic had to be 252 and my current weight is 193. I have 50 more pound to go to be at goal weight. I had surgery on March 1st so it has been almost 5months and 59 pounds.

One thing I learned is everyone is so different.MY HIGHEST was 270,my first visit was 262 and I was on a pre op diet had to lose 10 pounds in order for them to do surgery.So day of surgery I was 252.So far I have lost,gained and stalled.I keep battling and it is a process some days easier than others.I still struggle with some things.I pretty much stick to what the Dr said but I do allow self some treats when I really get in the mood and what I mean is bite something.Well it is a journey we will all get there.Keep believing.

Finally, I made it I am in ONEDERLAND..it is so nice to see you again,it has been a long time. After weeks of being at 200, I finally dropped.. Went on scale this morning and I was 198.6.

I had my first salad today with chicken of course it was an Asian salad didn't eat it all but made sue I ate the chicken.Also on sliders I only allow my self a sliver of cake on my families b'day and no more.This way I learn control and I still allow myself a treat.

First I applaud you for you honesty.It was very brave to put that on here.But they are right you want to take it slow and follow your plan.You will be able to have it someday in moderation but just not this soon or just minus the bun.

I didn't like the Unjury either.I tried to put it in pudding yesterday..I gagged. I sent the chicken soup back also.Not a fan of the stuff.

4 weeks out just made them the ones on top of this page..yummo I really needed a crunch.I feel better now

Is it more like a spasm,it gets tight like it is squeezing.Because I get that and the Dr said stomach is still healing and getting used to the changes.I too am 4 weeks we will see if it gets better

it was so nice having this cheese it was the first thing that entered my pouch that didn't hurt..4 weeks out..

Ok it was the first time I threw up after being sleeved two weeks ago.I drank my protein shake and then later took my chewable vit and chewable calcium.Two min later I was getting I'll.Now the other day I took them just fine but I noticed when I took them last night I felt nauseous. So what do you think?

I am 2 weeks out and I can get in about 1.5 oz of protein and that's it.I have breakfast,lunch and dinner and snack(which is my dairy.)I am taking it day by day and just listening to my body something I never did before.It is going to take time.

Those. Gas pains are not fun.But Everyday you will feel better and better..Relax take a deep breath and walk.

I am week and a half post op and I too have the same feelings.I think we are still healing and things will get better in time. We have to heal the mind,body and soul.Whats most frustrating for me is I can only eat a tsp or two then my pouch starts to hurt hoping it time it will get better.

Agree..sometimes you feel so stupid..Thanks

Sorry 10 days post op and yes pureed 1 1/2 ounces along with fruit or veggie puréed 1 1/2 ounce's but I can't get it in only 1 or 2 tsp of protein.

Don't know what to eat.I get about two tsp of food in (meat chewed til mushy)then my pouch hurts so I take it that it is time to stop. Tomorrow fish... I rather just smell food...

So I was so excited to start mushies today.. I had it all planned out, but it turned out not as satisfying as I thought it would be. I started with a scrabbled egg some cheese. I ate slow and with ever bite I sat there wondering how I should feel. First I felt nothing, then I felt like I had to burp, then after getting to my next to last bite I said "self you can't eat anymore". I wasn't able to eat my fruit. WOW 1/2 egg and I walk away from the table as if it is nothing. Food is so overrated. I am glad I was able to keep it down, but I did have to relax after I ate but I think that is pretty good for not eating in 3 weeks. Its about 45min later and I feel good.. Baby steps, Baby Steps... I was glad to keep the egg down, because I need to cut back on some of these protein shakes they are starting to taste terrible to me...

6 days post op and I still have gas from surgery.I can feel the gas after I swallow even How do I get rid of it?
