congrats you have done awesome

Your welcome, I know its hard but you can do it,

lol you can have it but its going to affect you alot easier then before you might get drunk off of just a half a glass if that, they say to try and stay away from it but you can have it, but remember having this surgery is for a life change you need to change the habits you use to have or its not going to be worth the money you spent

deep breaths you will be fine, it a new begaining for you, I can tell you, its the best thing I have ever done for myself, wish I had done it earlyer

yeah I know it does and I was told to try and stay away from tomatos cus of the acid in them, I cant get past my protien before I full I havent really had and veggies or fruits, unless thats the only thing I am having,

again not really worth it but you can you just have to get the carbination out of it

I am about 12 weeks out and I can eat pasta but it fills me up so fast its not worth it cus then you cant eat your protien

You go girl, you have done fantasic

sorry I cant help, I dont crave anything some times I am hungry but not always, I would contact your dr.

some times I get heartburn after drinking water. Has anyone else had this issue and how did you stop it from happening?

still in pain from the surgery?

I am the same way I was scared asked my Dr and he said dont worry about that just eat when your body tells you to, I still have not gotten past 880 and I am not worring about it

dont be scared you can do it even if you walk it just finish it and every time you do one try and beat your last time that is what I am doing, cant wait til the day I can run one, that will be awesome

Congrats, yes I love this forum everyone is so helpful and incouraging, I was sleeved on 12/27/12 and love it,

That sounds soooo good just wish I could eat that much, lol I can only eat about 1.5-2 ounces of meat so couldnt even add in the other stuff, lol

Yes I have a hard time getting my water in, but I do know I am getting more in now then I did a month ago, so hopefully soon I will beable to get it all in if not more, I use to drink 100-150 ounces of water a day so this is hard for me, lol

I didnt really lose til after my 2nd or 3rd week, my first few weeks all I ate was broths and yogurt, then slowly added apple sauce cottage cheese things like that, all I did then was walk really didnt do alot more then that,

yeah I am doing what I am told and I know we all lose diff and I am happy w/the 56 just was thinking it would be more for how big I started out at, I feel so much better and I did my first 5k Sat so I am very very happy, just hard when you see others that in less time have done more, I feel like I am kicking my butt I do about 4 miles aday on the treadmill and can only eat like 600-900 cal a day, as I can only eat like 3 or 4 bites of stuff at a time,

yeah for the most part I can eat small portions of anything just a tast of it, lol I am about 12 weeks out

Man reading some of these posts I feel like I am going slow, I know everyone is diff just I see people losing 70-80lbs after 7-8 weeks and I am like on week 12 and only down 56lbs and have already had stalls, I am feeling like I must be doing something wrong.

yes you dont want to lift heavy weights til 6-8 weeks, but you can do light weights and do your cardio, they say approx 4lbs a week is good, of course at first your going to lose faster, and you will also have times were you wont hardley lose at all, I am having that issue now I had mine done on 12/27/12 I am down 56lbs so far wish it was more hoping for a big lose here soon just keeping my figers crossed, plus it also depends on how big you are,

congrates thanks for sharing your story, I had mine done 12/27/12 I am down 56lbs now, I have had 2 slow times so not bad just 1 week at a time but still makes it hard when your as big as I am but I am still plugging away, again congrats

Thats awesome, great job, I just did my first 5k I walked it finished it in 1 hour 20secs, have 2 next month and hope I can make that time go down,

I was not told that

I have found a bar called Life Choice they have 21grams of protien and dont tast bad at all, they have a choc and a peanutbutter one w/the 21 grams then then have some others that are like 10-15grams of protien have not tried those yet
