yep, yep I started doing the scales every 7 days and I find a lot more peace of mind I broke my stall by eating a bite of something every 3 hours, a nut, a jello, a pork skin, a mouthful of soup, little and often!

wow stunning, you have done amazing WTG!!! you give me hope

you cant eat banana?

6 weeks out for me, almost 7 and I feel the same way most of the time, sometimes after eating I feel like I have swallowed a giant stone, other times I feel like it's all going to come back up again, I dont throw up but I feel like I'm going to. Everything repeats on me. I chew everything to total much and it feels like it's stuck. eating is a pain. I'm almost never hungry, but I cant tell when I'm full cos I almost always feel full. scrambled egg and grilled chicken are getting very old. I suspect I may be eating a little to fast, but who wants to eat cold or re heated scrambled egg ew.. le sigh.

10 - 30 a day here, but I'm always staling, that may not be related I dont know lol

thanks for the rant, I am one month out and yesterday I made a mistake, my first ever mistake, I cried so hard last night, I was ashamed of my self. I panicked . I now understand that I am human, it IS possible to make a mistake and it's up to me to check my self or wreck my self... me and nobody else.. my mistake you ask? I smoked a boston butt for my husband, took it off the grill and picked off the fatty crispy skin and ate it... I felt soooooooo sick and soooooooooooo sorry... NEVER AGAIN. a new day, a new dawn, and I'm feeling gooood

good luck with the H Pylori., I had that and had to get mine cleared b4 the insurance would pay for my sleeve. it actually took me 10 months and 3 sets of treatment and an emergency treatment to clear mine up, but it is not like that for most people I believe. I am allergic to penicillin and had prolly had H Pylori for years, plus we think I may of re infected my self by sharing a fork with my husband lol. You story of the car park is what made me stop and smile, I always say it will hurt the cars more then it will hurt me lol almost 40lbs down since my sleeve 3 weeks ago, I hope thats going to change for me some day soon !

Had my 2 week check up yesterday. The last two weeks were a little rough on me, but mostly because I put my knee out, three days b4 the operation. Getting dressed, putting socks on, silly things became a problem for me that I had not expected! I am now drinking 26oz of water a day an 8oz protein drink with 42g of protein a day Food has been odd, I have no urge to eat at all, and have been trying to force one tea spoon of apple sauce or baby food into my mouth every day, but I simply dont enjoy it. However last my my husband strongly urged me to try some scrambled egg, and I ate two tea spoons with no troubles at all, it feels a little thick going down, but it's okay. I also eat a sugar free ice pop every night, it takes me about an hour lol but it's my guilty pleasure I have lost 32lbs!!!! I am taking all my pills, you know, the biotin and iron and calcium and vits.... my bp is now perfect, pulse is coming down , hardly no hair loss... at first it was tough, but people are right it gets better every day... I get a little tired quite easy, but one step at a time!

Thanks for taking the time to type this out, your story could almost be mine, only it's been 9 days since my sleeve, but everything else, well I'm almost your twin lol I'm going to try and go back to work on Monday, but my job is pretty light. I do a few little jobs round the house each day, like make my husband a meal, or wash up, having a shower takes up most of my morning and I count that as a work out lol I'm pretty drained. I drink about 30oz of water a day and 17oz of chocolate protein if I can manage it all, but it takes me about 7 hours to drink the shake lol yesterday I had lost 22lbs, but I only stand on the scales every 3 days... I to think people expect me to turn up back at work looking like a fashion model, it's a lot of pressure for a woman struggling to get her bra on and get dressed lol today I ate some baby jar food 2 tea spoons lol yum! oops im going on sorry .

I think some people are missing the point, but I'm getting a little fed up of talking to a brick wall, I was not saying I dont want to pay for the pills, and that it's not worth the effort sheesh... One simple point of view is all I had, it has been expensive, and continues to be... In My Opinion :wub:

I'm not walking into the middle of this one, but my own personal experience (and thats all I feel qualified to comment on) it has not been cheep. but each to there own. I also have lots of foods/drinks I can not tolerate or stand or am allergic to.. I cant take fruit or lactose or soy, tons of food coloring's and the taste of ANY flavored waters are to strong and make me gag.....every single person is an individual xoxox

I'm with you on this one, I use isopure protein and it's $50 a large tub, I mix it wit almond milk and thats $3.50 a small carton, I had my sleeve 5 days ago and I have to take all the pills, calcium $10 centra $10, iron $10 biotin $10 galstone pills and idk loads of stuff, it all adds up, but from what I understand it wont be forever..... and remember sip sip sip lol taste changes are crazy I hated chocolate all my life, now I love it and cant stand vanilla yuck lol

I go for my operation in the morning, thank you for posting, it helps a LOT to hear how others are getting on, and what to expect!

Best of luck to you , 6 days for me to go and I will be in your shoes, cant wait... be sure and let us know how you get on:)

Ha ha, thats fantastic, I'm quite a bit older than you, and I have Jeans and skirts that used to fit me 30 years ago... omg I wonder will they ever fit me again, and what would be even better is if they come back into fashion LOL... I'm so happy for you, looking great and feeling greaaaaaaaaaaat wtg
