Crazy how mostly everyone stalls on the 3rd week. I was stalled for about 2 weeks. Hopped on scale yesterday and now down 2 lbs. Hopefully no more stalls anytime soon.

Sleeved 2/7/13 18lbs down

I have been blessed to have support from my mother, father and sister. The people that really matter in my life understand my struggles and my decision to have this procedure done. I do have this one co-worker who says she has a relative who had WLS surgery and is now extremely unhappy and thinks that she's fat when she's skinny. I told her, "your relative needs to go back to the psychiatrist she went to before the procedure. I will never understand people who won't do something because it went bad for someone they know. I lead not follow. I would rather do something about my health before I get high cholesterol, diabetes, and heart disease. Funny thing is my "co-worker", her husband and kids are all obese. Her smallest child is 7 and is very obese for her age. If WLS surgery is not for you.. fine, but don't discourage other people from doing what they need to do to live a happier life.

I was sleeved on the 7th. Still having a hard time getting all my protein in. As someone mentioned I feel full after a few sips. I hardly have any stomach pain where my incisions are. My gas is almost gone thanks to Gas X. I've lost 15 pounds since my surgery. I am soo over the liquid diet phase, ready to finally eat something. I see my surgeon 2/21 for my post-op appointment.

Thanks Stef for providing that schedule. I was clueless at how to get in all my protein. I'll start this first thing tomorrow morning.
