Lots of inches lost!
Dr's happy said lost 10# n 3wks is superb. Clean bill of health, cleared to workout & don't come back for 3mo unless complications. Bet that...I about to be on one as soon as I'm completely over the flu!

Freja, don't be discouraged we all loose differently and don't cheat yourself of a great resource, this site. This site has be a wealth of knowledge for me. I've learned a lot to add to what I already knew.
Are you taking any medications still? I found that my meds are hindering my weight loss. So I know how it feels and what can do to your feelings & mind to see others going through the same thing at the same time and lose double, triple & quadruple the amount of weight! I had to tell myself that this was not a raise. I did this for my health more so than pounds lost. It will not hurt me if it takes me 12 months to get to goal just as long as I get to goal eventually. Keep in mind your genetic profile plans a big part in how your body responds. I will say don't get caught up in the pounds.Measure yourself weekly as I do you will see great change. And be rewarded with a week or two worth of NSVs from the tape measure, yourself & whomever you may have to help measure you...my husband gives the best NSVs! He cheered me up & cheers me on when I was feeling like you breifly. I have been stalled for 4 weeks, scales say not much has changed but the measuring tape says much has! So embrace this moment learn & grow from it. Plus, I'm sure it has been said but keep in mind the bigger a person is the more they will lose fast. And a plus for you to think about and this excites me...slower you lose the better it is for your skin to recover! Less need for plastics....all for that! Stay positive, keep reading because you are not alone sister. And guess what I am a December sleever, we are all in this together! Stay up beat...lol I ain't hard to find I'm always posting something....do some reflecting so you can see the bigger picture. Best of luck. Many blessings. This is a new year, time for new thinking and a new you! Shape up girl & get with the program!

The reason for the difference is we are all different. We each have our own genetic make up, our bodies respond & react differently, some are taking meds that affect our weight loss, some are not getting all of what is needed after surgery even though they think we are. There are many variables. You just run you own race and you will all be winners!

Hey congrats on loss! Aside from infection you sound like all us well. I had to do 10 day Enoxaparin Sodium Injection it was not a big deal since I had done HCG Injections, but I will say the last 2-3 border on painful with little more burn than usual. I'm losing slow but losing all the same. I plan on doing liquid diet until Jan 1 then moving to purses. Hopefully, it aids in a loss if not no harm. Also, plan to step up my exercise. I plan on being a HUGE success! Good luck & keep in touch.

Seasons greeting, happy holidays & all the other festivities celebrated around the world!

I was told no NSAID only tylenol products.

Horror stories help keep you on the straight & narrow....I'm thankful for them. And so far all is well with me at 5 days postop.

I was released because I was doing so well. Been home since 1:30pm yesterday. Went for 30 minute walk alone didn't struggle. Sipping on 1/4 cup broth now. Before I was only taking in Water & Isopure. Soup went well, will try Jello next.

Thank you all...I'm on the home stretch now. No leaks, no nausea (hope it stays that way). Should released by 4PM today.

Well, I must say I was pleased with out come. Healing good, body is responding nicely and the gas is milder. No pain meds since noon yesterday. I'm moving around great and hitting the mark on the breather. To my surprise I'm getting Isopure done almost better than Water. I don't want to jinks myself but trust me It's nothing compared to what your mind would have you believe.

Can't wait to be released for workout!
I wish the remaining sleevers the best of luck. This is the best thing you could do for yourself!

Thanks guy, my recovery has been kind no pain meds since noon yesterday.

I'm so calm, cool as cucumber but my tummy is rumbling! If you guys only knew what it has taken to get to this point.....you would to be asking why isn't she jumping & shouting! I honestly think doing the research, preparing, jumping through hoops kind of took on all the fears, anxieties and questions away. Now just to get past the waiting and through the pain and back to living a better life! Today is VSG date.

This is it...(6:30AM) checked in at Trophy Club waiting for them to call me back!
I pray all goes well, complication free, minimal to no pain and speedy recovery.
I bid a good day to you all.
Love, peace and happiness,
CJ
