I get this horrible, embarrassingly loud gurgling....which has now prompted my husband to say "whelp..guess you're done". lol and sad to say....I actually have to have him "burp" me sometimes. I still have pain when eating/swallowing food at times and have to have him help me burp by rubbing my back. Feels good actually.... But my throat feels like its closing. and yeah...thats my "dinners over" sign.

Love those...but must admit.....the Zumba isnt as fun at home. but boy do u work up a sweat!! especially with Just Dance too. Love that one. I want the Hip Hop dance workout.

Ive never been a fast food fan period!! And my hubby will even tell you I never ate much at all..... But.....still was fat. Yuck. Just not a fast food fan.

And yes....all the drs seem to say different things. I for one didnt have to lose pre surgery & had less than a week of the pre surgery shakes because of when we got my surgery approval. And at my 2 week check-up I was approved for all foods...whatever I could handle...one thing at a time in case it didnt go over well. And my dr still does monthly check-ups with me. And the last time I asked him about protein, water & calorie amounts he said dont stress about it too much at this point because you wont make it...just to get what I could. Im always told Im doing great & right on target.

I thinks its horrible someone that has gone thru this would give another such a hard time. Come on...we are all in this "together" and each person is different. I havent personally drank any alcohol....never did much anyway....but I have wanted to try a glass of wine with dinner. Im just too scared to do it. So I have repeatedly volunteered to be the DD if others drink. Im sure Ive had other stuff I shouldnt. And really get tired of others monitoring what I eat. I used to be a daily Starbucks Venti Vanilla Latte & Coke girl. And was really cranky when I didnt get my daily morning coffee. I stayed away for the first 2 months. I go get my coffee every now & then...but I get the small one & havent finished one yet. If you totally take away something someone has enjoyed their entire life..they are just going to want it more. Im taking it slow. Trying to get my exercising & vitamins going again (they were making me sick) & Im all about eating my protein & drinking as much as possible. I dont drink alot anyway. But I still work at what I need to do because I have a goal. I and others can see what I have lost so far & Im wearing my old, smaller clothes & that makes me feel good & gives me motivation. Keep up the good work everyone!! We are totally rocking this!!

Sleeved 11/7/12. Surgery weight 236. Weight as of this morning 199. -3 more lbs and I will be down 40 total so far since surgery. I started working out about 4 wks out but dont do it everyday like I should because Im exhausted. I started working on my arms and a little on my legs less than a week after surgery. Figured I could work on my arms while I was sitting around.

I am so excited & emotional right now. I thought I would weigh myself today. I was changing out of my work clothes and thought "what the heck...." I was under that ugly 200 I have been strapped to for years!! Tomorrow is my 9 week mark. and 2 more lbs & I will have lost 40 lbs so far. So many emotions.... I am close to tears right now.....

Simple...im sure you are right on my heels. thank you so much. good luck to you also. lets have a onederland party!!

Thank you Joy. I would have to say the support of my wonderful husband, the want to feel good & healthy, and the desire to be successful in this. Im sure i havent done everything right.....but im trying. Good luck to you on your journey.

Thank you Annie.

Thank you MomW.

I confess that I have had my coffee...not everyday & I cant finish the 1 I confess that I am worried I will screw this up. I confess I have had sips of soda....could never drink a whole one I confess I havent been exercising like I should I confess I am exhausted (& thats why I dont do the above all the time) I confess I dont take my Vitamins because they make me more nauseous than I already am I confess I cant wait till some ppl see me and are like WHOA...lol I confess that I am so damn happy I am not facing diabetes, swollen legs & feet and other horrible health issues. And I confess it feels great to be able to wear my wedding ring again. Good job everyone!!! Keep up the great work.

I got a nausea pill too but I was still naseous when I take it. like i said...i drink a lot of tea, with splenda. seems to sit better on my tummy. and its all zero calorie. I still have a hard time eating too. My throat still feels like its closing. and when i eat i guess my stop notification is my gurggling belly & throat. i know other people can hear it too...its loud. lol

Most definitely. I will message you.

Congrats!! I am dying to get to Onderland. 5 lbs to go....and those bad boys are hanging on for dear life!! lol

Steeler....I feel the same way...like I havent had a lot of guidance. I constantly feel like Ive done something wrong. and water also makes me nauseous. but I was told about water nausea from someone else. I drink a lot of tea. im basically living off of it. I too have lost 30 lbs since my sleeve on 11/7 but feel like it should be more. Ive been stuck at my current weight for 2 weeks or so now, I have absolutely NO energy and cant take those vitamins...they make me SICK. and trying to get to the restroom in time at work can be a chore. Im just so frustrated and tired still. i havent exercised in a couple weeks but i do still go on my walks at work twice a day. Oh lord....what to do.

I am still so very nauseous. And not feeling well at all at this very moment. My stomach is very angry with me right now. I can't take my vitamins because they make me sick, water makes me sick. I finished my breakfast at lunch....still sick. The nausea is really starting to wear on me & get me down. I have 9 more lbs to go to meet MY first goal & it is just not going well. I wanna feel good for a day....UGH!!!

Could I get a copy of those also? I would really appreciate it. Hoping I have come out of my first stall.... Davesbarbiedoll@yahoo.com Thank you!!

Me too!! I loved the full report. He has been great....along with everyone else in the office.

Great to run into you again also. I am glad you are doing well. Yes, he did the same to me....regarding the food. Just told me to start slow and try one thing at a time in case it doesn't agree with me, so I would know which one. I have another appt with him on Thursday the 13th. Need to get my Vitamins at that appt. I had the 3 week stall that turned into the 4 week stall too. But I finally lost another 3 lbs so I'm down 23 since surgery, with 20 being in the first 2 weeks. The first 2 days, after going home, All I did was sleep & drink Water. My regular dr has told me that I haven't given myself time to recoup and has told me not to do too much exercising, but I did start working on my arms and legs and doing a little Zumba. And I walk at both my breaks at work. Have you started working out? Are you doing ok with food? Having any pain eating? I've had a problem with horrible throat pain when eating. Have you experienced any of that? Or I'll forget to eat. LOL It is so great to talk to you and I'm glad you are doing so well.

I did. were u the one i met in the hallway....we were both walking with our hubbies??
