CALM DOWN!!! I"m here to make you guys feel better. First, ur exactly one month out and 49lbs down... a friend of min got the surgery and lost 15lbs pre-op and a month later was only down 10lbs so woo hoo for you to lose so much in just one month.
2nd, throw the scale away.... YOUR LOSING INCHES.. measure your body... or get one of those machines that measure ur body when you hold it tight and realize that ur not dropping lbs because ur dropping inches... If u lose lbs and no inche you'd look like a square after losing al the weight.
3rd, can u still walk? Go window shopping. buy one of those trackers that tracks ur steps..
4th, GET OUT... if you stay at home ur gonna keep feeling sorry and upset and thinking about ur weight.
5th, EVERYONE GOES THROUGH THIS... my friend who i mentioned earlier is at a stand still. Do you think she's about to lose it? NO. Its normal. Dont get discouraged because if your an emotional eater you will regret it!
Know that everyone in this site.... we are all here for each other. Focus on the positive... i'm waiting on my surgery date and I'd give anything to be down at least 20lbs right now, but i'm not discouraged.
Think happy thoughts!
Good Luck... and do victory things... 2lbs down... u do something you like another 10 lbs u get a massage 15lbs down buy yourself something expensive.... 30lbs down join a social site!!!!!
AGAIN!!! IT happens... good luck!!! I'm sure you look great.. plz dont give up. we are all in this together.

Can totally see a difference today! Had to share. Seeing this made me feel I made a good decision to get healthy! Have a long road yet to get but it's a good start!

That is a horrible way to support you in your weightloss! I see from your profile that you are undecided on the surgery. Sometimes you have to do things that are best for you. As women, we sometimes put too much thought into what others think. I hope things get better for you. I really suggest that you talk to him about how those words make you feel.

It feels so good to go to a restaurant and order a to go box with your meal cause you are certain that you won't finish it

Blech. ???? Good thing my husband doesn't read this site......cause Blech just Blech. Ever since surgery the SMELL turns my stomach. And the consistency.....Just BLECH that's all I have to say lol

I am 10 days post-op and doing very well. I am 66 years old. I started this journey 9 months ago. I read and read and read. When I got weak and was going to drop out you all were there for me. I would read your posts and see how well everyone was doing and I would trudge on. If it had not been for you all I would of said forget it. My husband was against it. My kids were behind me but I have 3 boys and they never tried to talk me out of it but they were not there on an everyday basis. It was very scary at my age. I had to go through every test immaginable. I passed them all. Now I am 25 lbs lighter and on my way to a better life.
THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations! I wish you much continued success.

About 2 weeks after, the dr recommend not to do any strenght exercises however cardio we can do as long as we are no pushing ourselves too hard, listen to your body.

Zofran, favorite anti nausea medicine... have they tried this one? Also there is a patch you can put behind your ear instead of having to swallow. This far out you should, like the other posters have suggested, should be feeling better not worse. Careful with dehydration if you are nauseated and not drinking enough. Push your doc for a solution/investigation of your symptoms. Best of luck, a yucky stomach sucks! Sorry

I was sleeved Nov 14 and I'm feeling wonderful. I'm healing really good my eating is fine and I feel almost back to my normal self. I want to get back in the gym though not doing anything extreme like weight lifting. Things like walking on the treadmill, the elliptical, getting on the bike, maybe some light arm and leg stuff. How long should I wait? I'm just so antsy. I've lost 17 pounds since surgery and im ready to tone everything now.

I pin recipes onto Pinterest and try to make one new thing each week or two. I make meatloaf meatballs at least once a month and freeze them to reheat for lunch. Sometimes beef, sometimes turkey. Here's my Pinterest board:http://pinterest.com/amykins1807/healthy-eats/ . You can print out recipes and make something quick or on the weekend make something that takes longer or will last a few days.
Some items are WW, but most are vsg-friendly or I can adapt them using something like flat-out bread, panko crumbs if they require breadcrumbs, etc... Hope this helps!

I am 2 pounds away from 199 lbs. I want to reach onederland by Thanksgiving.

I can barely get in one Protein Shake a day. And not the full 24ozof Clear Liquids I'm supposed to. I'm just so damn full lol I was sleeved on 11/7. I feel so great tho. A lil sore when I am up too much but then I rest. I'm hoping by tonight I can finish this first shake :-/ & hv some Greek yogurt. It tastes so gross tho lol what has anyone added to it? Crystal light? I'm going to try that for dinner. Man o man this was the best decision I ever made :-) good luck to all my fellow sleevers! Woohoo
