Weighed this morning. 169. That's 58 pounds so far. I'm loving my sleeve!

I only lost 1/2 of a pound this week but I'm ok with that because I know why. I wanted to see what would happen if I added some carbs. Well, I know now that I can do that once I start maintenance. Now, back to being a good girl.

Weighed in this week. Down 1.5 pounds for a total of 52.5! Loving this!

I weigh ever Saturday also and I'd like to join this. I've lost 51 pounds so far and am waiting to weigh again this weekend. .

Sleeved on 12/6/12 and down 74 pounds.

My Dr. Told me not to listen to anyone but him about all of the myths there are when it comes to the sleeve. He said there's nothing wrong with using a straw or taking pills. I have been taking regular pills since 1 week post op and drinking from a straw since then too. I'm 4 1/2 months out and have no problems with it. He also said I don't have to stop drinking 30 minutes before I eat, just to remember that if I drink too soon after I eat, I will get hungry again quicker. I also don't drink any Protein Shakes. I get my Protein from food per his advice. I do take really good Vitamins and one of them is chewable (only because they only make it for bypass & sleeve people in the chewable form).

HOLY MOLEY! what a HUGE difference. You must feel amazing.

I was sleeved on Dec 5th. I've lost 52.5 pounds. I am averaging about a pound & 1/2 a week recently but at this point a loss is a loss. I've had to buy new clothes several time and am 24 pounds from my goal. I'm loving it!

Oh my God! I was laying in bed with my husband reading this while he was sleeping and laughing so much that I was shaking the bed and waking him up with tears rolling down my face. Y'all are hilarious!

This is something I made last night for dinner. My husband and daughter loved it and my son came over and ate 2 helpings. For those not on a "diet", they could eat it with some tortilla chips and it would be good too. I'm not big on measuring so I'm just going to give you the ingredients because it's simple and easy to make.
Mexican chicken Casserole
Non Stick Spray (I used Olive Oil Pam)
chicken Breast Cut into cubes
Chopped Onion
Chopped Bellpepper
Mushrooms
Comino
Cilantro
Chives (Optional)
Mild Red Enchilada Sauce
Non-Fat Plain Greek Yogurt
2% Mexican Blend or Monterey Jack cheese
Spray pan with Non-stick spray. Over medium high heat, saute the chicken breast, onion, bellpepper, mushrooms, comino, cilantro and chives together until the chicken is done and the vegetables are soft. Add enchilada sauce and Greek yogurt to make a creamy sauce. It should be light red in color but not pink unless you like it really light. Cover and allow it all to simmer for about 5 minutes on medium low heat. Top with cheese, remove from heat and cover to allow cheese to melt. Serve with more greek yogurt as a substitute for sour cream.
Let me know what yall think. I crave Mexican food and this really filled the void for me.
