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.

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 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

Gooooooooooood luck, I have 8 days to go, so I am looking forward to hearing all about it!

hi Chimera, gosh yes it's a looooong process, so many things I never expected, but here I am now The Atkins part of it is not to bad ( apart from having to pee all the time) arghhh three times in the middle of the night yikes!!! chicken is my new best friend This week I have two shakes and one meal with no carb.. 6 oz of a lean meat is not a meal grrrrrrrr lol. I can have a cup of coffee with skim milk only, that I dont drink. Next week im on straight shakes no food. I dont know how im going to do next week .... my head may explode yikes lol

Hi vicki.... counting down the hours here lol Thank you for sharing some of your story, every bit helps me, the more I read the me assured I feel. You and I have the same thing going on with water too lol I only drink bottled water ( as I gave up fizzy drinks two years ago, and I also gave up caffeine at the same time) now I sprinkle a little crystal light orange into three small bottles of water a day and try to drink them, I only do two most days but have managed three on a blue moon, so I have no idea how I will manage after surgery, but im guessing if it's not killing or dehydrating me now, then it wont do it then either right? well perhaps lol head hunger is driving me totally mental, it's almost 24/7 it wont shut up, it was like that quite often b4 the diet but now it's almost like im in panic mode, the world is going to run out of food soon and if I dont eat it all I'll dieeeeeeeeeeee... it's very intense , I hope it will pass soon, I am walking a mile a day now, playing with my new puppy more and still having to work at night atm, so ur right keeping busy helps a little but arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh lol I like the isopure a lot as there is no bloating with it, but incase my tummy wont agree with me after the op I have some muscle milk light, it's also lactose free .... I'm hoping the gas wont be too bad after the op, it sounds horrific, and I dont do well on pain killers so I tend to go it alone, I will be sure to shout about it if it's toooooo bad yikes rant on... I sure do

I'm new to this too, and I thank you for sharing your post, it feels good to know your not alone, and to be able to ramble on about things that may be on your mind. I am taking the isopure to, and I love it, I take the vanilla, but I like very bland food. Sounds to me like your doing great wtg
