Surgery date 3-14-13 Starting weight 216.6 Current weight 190.3 I feel like I'm losing sooooo incredibly slow. But I've never been able to say I've lost 26 pounds in 2 months so I'm trying to stay positive. I must admit I haven't been super diligent about working out. I eat approx 700 calories a day. I'm having a bit of a hard time adjusting to food. Still learning what my new stomach won't throw up. Yuck. I recommend taking photos. When you aren't seeing progress on the scale, it helps to see inches lost (unfortunately I didn't take my measurements so I've been using photos).

Vodka and crystal light pink lemonade. Yum.

Here's an updated photo. Sleeved 3.14.13 SW: 216 CW: 186

Surgery weight = 216 Current weight = 187 Surgery date March 14 So far very happy with results. My goal weight is 140.

My husband didn't like my frown in other pics I posted. He said I should be happy with my progress after a month.

Amazing photos ladies. Such an inspiration. You all are beautiful.

Thank you. It's not a huge difference but every pound counts. I've been in a two week stall so I'm trying to stay positive.

Started back on coffee 10 days out. Helps keep me regular

One month tomorrow. 20 pounds down.

I'm in a stall too so I know how frustrated you are. I'm at the point of feeling like this just isn't working for me. My surgery was 3/14. I was down 22 lbs by 3/31 but since then I've gained back 3 pounds. I'm taking in around 700 calories. I tried a couple days increasing it to 900 but that didn't break the stall. I'm getting in 65-75g protein and at least 64oz liquid. I'm also walking 3.5 miles. Last night I had a huge meltdown. I don't know what's wrong with me.

I appreciate this thread. I've completely stalled too. My surgery was March 14th. I was down 22 pounds but this week I actually gained 3. Not sure how that happens. I've upped my walking to 3 miles a day and today I got in 90g protein and increased my calories to 900. I had been getting in 65g protein and my calorie count has been @ 500. Hope this works!! I've been logging my food daily on MFP.

Sorry you had a bad day. I'll PM my phone number. Call anytime!!

Try orange Vitamin water zero or crystal light. They aren't sweet. I also put a lemon in my water to help with the taste. I hate plain water too.

My doctor said to get in a pool and swim laps. I had my two week post op today and that was his recommendation. Thankfully I have access to a community pool. I also bought the Palmers Cocoa Butter lotion for weight loss/stretch marks. Hopefully they work.

First couple days SF Popsicles and orange Vitamin Water zero were my best friends. Had a hard time with anything else.

Tell me about it. Sweet potato tater tots - I want them so bad!!!

Love my fitness pal. My user id is same as here.

Just curious if anyone has had a hysterectomy within a year of getting sleeved and if hormone levels have affected weight loss progress. I would appreciate any feedback.

You look great. Keep up the great work. Next time you're at the store get your hubby some ready readers. Lol. Men!!!!!!!

I've read some of Shelly's recipes on the egg face site. She said she makes pot toast for her family and takes her portion and puts it in food processor to make it more puréed consistency.

My doc said you will have a fever over 101. If you get a fever go to hospital!!!!

I'm in Mission Viejo. Sleeved on the 14th. Down 14 pounds. Yay.
