How much of an Atkins meal can you eat? I am 9 weeks out on this Wednesday and i just ate a chicken & Brocolli meal. I ate a bit more then 1/2. A feel like i could have ate the whole thing but stoped because my mind said thats too much. Just wondering how much of these kinds of meals can you eat in one sitting? Maybe i ate too much.

Let us know the outcome. Ive been wanting to do it.

I cant help it. Im really really devastated. I cant stop balling out. Makes me not want to eat at all but with my luck i probAbly wont lose or even keep gaining.

I am devastated!!!! How can i have gained 2 pounds in 3 days when im eating the same as before. The only thing i can think of is i haven't been able to exercise this past week but seriously GAIN 2 pounds for that?????? After losing 2-3 weekly...... I thought those days were over yet it only took me 8 weeks after surgery to see the scale going up again. :-(

Im 8wks out and i chug water fine. Almost 8onzes or more. The difference for me now is that i cant chug anything that is cold. It feels like its stuck in my throat so i cant do it. It hurts.

Im the exact same way. Im 7wks post opp and i want to get an xray done to see my sleeve. I kind of dont believe ive been sleeved. Lol. i feel soooooo normal to the point that i dont believe it was cut.

Dana i know exactly how you feel. I am also a slow loser. Today i am exactly 7 weeks out and have lost just 23pnds since surgery day. This past week is the only week thst surprised me with a 4 pnd loss and im sure its because i drank my BP pill which i havent drank in like 2 wks, it has a diuretic so thats probably the 4 pound. Im ok with losing as long as the rumor of no or little shaggy skin is true. So far i haven't really seen anyone confirm this.

Thanks everyone. Needed the words very much.

I thought the same thing but my BMI was 47 when i started. Im 4'9. A shorty :-) lol

I am 7 weeks out and my weekly loss is 3 pounds. I feel it should be more. I started at 218 and today im 196. So just wondering whats your average weekly loss to see if i might be doing something wrong. I know i dont always get the required protein in but if thats the case, i cant help but to say "i could have just done atkins. I power walk 1 hr 5-6x a week and barely consume carbs. Im a bit down, i really thought that i would be at about 45pounds less by 2nd month.

Does anybody have an incision in the bellybutton? I have a large vertical one right above mine. I hate it!!!!

Thanks im 6wks out. This might be a stupid question but.... Is it 2 scoops per 8-10onzes or 1 scoop?

Would you guys say the protein powder is as good (healthy wise) as the ready to drink kind?

Im scared that it has too many calories.

Has anybody tried this? Is it good for us? It has 25grams of protein but some flavors are 200calories, 17g of carbs.....

Wow lisa good job! Ur loss is really noticeable. Mine isn't that much. In total I've only lost 29 pnds. And bein so short equals to like nothing lol

Finally the scale's first number is a 1 instead of a 2. I am in the onederlands!!!!! Havent been here since like 6-7yrs ago. I am 199 today and am just 4'9 so have a LONG way to go but it does feel good to see a 1 lol. Ready for 2nd goal - 169pnds.

I would go to the ER if its that bad.

I think normal boots are 14' to 16' inches. Fiting into knee high boots is one of my goals.

Broccoli at 5 weeks out. Yah or na for us sleevers?

Yah or na for us sleevers? I know it isn't carbonated but just want to make sure....

That's another thing, if I start burping I stop eating because I've read here that , that means in full. But really it isn't that I feel full. Normal?

I am 5 weeks out and feel like if I can eat anything. Of course I don't. I'm on soft foods but physically feel as if I can eat anything. Sometimes I feel like if I wasn't sleeved. Also sometimes I feel as if I ate too much in 1 sitting. Example Breakfast was 1 soft scrambled egg and 1 slice of deli turkey breast Lunch- green peas Soup about 4-5 ounces. Am I eating too much in 1 serving? Is my feeling of not being sleeved normal????????

Thanks guys! Had the tilapia. It went down with no problem. Even had 1 shrimp . Also went down fine. :-)
