I ALWAYS gain 5-8lbs during my monthly cycle and then loose it. I know it's coming and even though I was sleeved on the 6/17th I figured weight loss would slow...not that I would gain at all!! I gained .8 lbs from yesterday!!! How do I stop this before it makes me crazy!!! I know it wasn't even a a whole pound but it was enough to scare the crap out of me.

Rock it lady!!

Today marks 4 weeks since my surgery. Best thing I could have done... Ever!!

Pre-op weight 244

Surgery weight 240

Current weight 217

How tall are you? Everything about you so far sounds like me. I'm only 1 week out though.

Awesome job!!

Sweet!!

I am very excited about my first 20lbs gone. hehe Just had to share :0)

I was sleeved 6/7/13 2.5 weeks ago.

I've gone down 1 size in my jean shorts AND I don't have to stretch out my T-shirts.

Woohoo!! I'm hoping to keep up! my sleeve date 6/17 keep rock'n it!!

Inspirational! Enjoyed your story. Love it. It is a light at the end of this tunnel/Journey. Lol

Very positive. 3.5 months out starting to see real positive things too. From a 22/24 to a 14.

Loving my sleeve.

Thanks for sharing.

How tall are you?? I'm 1 week out and started at a 20... thanks!

With such a supportive husband and your positive determination' date=' you'll make goal in no time!

No lie' date=' the very first night I got home from surgery, my husband baked chocolate chip cookies! He's never done that before and I almost killed him! You gotta good man there haha![/quote']

I would have killed someone! Lol!

I had surgery 1 week ago and I have to give my hubby some points! He's been making sure not to eat things in front of me if he even thinks I'd want it! he even tries my last couple bites of whatever watery Soup I make for the day (or couple days) he's being a trooper for sure! My goal is to be 'smaller' than him. Even when we first met I was 180 he was 175...we're both 5'10. For the last 7 years I've been around 240-254 and he's stayed 185-200. My goal...my first BIG goal is to hit 199.9 by Sept 3rd. My daughters first day of school! I'm sitting at 223 today.

Woohoo!!! Super proud!! And......Super jealous! great job on hitting the mark!

I'm I week post op and down 10lbs

High weight 254lb

Sw. 234lb

Cw. 224lb

I got home on the 20th...hardest part is wanting to put something anything with flavor in my mouth. Today I stuck my finger in hot sauce just to taste something! Lol

I ended up lucky! My surgery was Monday the 17th. I had my drain out on Thursday, the 20th.

Go girl I was sent home today too I got down 70 oz of liquid today well 50 so far but I plan on getting the rest before bed it was hard tho I been at it since 4am lol congrats girly u keep me posted and ill do the same!!!!

How are you now? I'm doing Soup and h2o...some Protein (very little) and yogurt. 4oz an hour of something...that's my goal!!

Yey! 13 more days till my surgery and I'm so nervous! How was the swallow test?

It wasn't too bad! I knew it was the first step in going home!

I'm home! I got here yesterday and so far I'm trying to figure out my new normal. How do you do it?? How can you get all you fluids in without being uncomfortable or hurting? How much do you try to keep Dow. An hour? What were the first things after just watery things you tried? Thanks!!

I had surgery Monday 17th. Tuesday I slept and had a swallow study. Wed. I did Clear Liquids. Today I added thicker liquids, had my drain removed, and am on my way home. I can hold down 3 oz an hour every hour. If I do 4 oz's then I have a hard time doing it again the next hour. I'm so excited to go home!!

You are rock'n it!!

sugar free Popsicles. Make your own. I have pudding pops and Gatorade pops waiting for me. Butternut squash Soup, pumpkin soup. I even bought a cookbook and I'm going to make pea soup. Lol. You can do this!

I had surgery on the 17th as well. I'm still in the hospital...although I'm trying to go home tomorrow. Nothing is wrong. I'm getting almost a liter in...my surgeon says 1.5liters and I can go. No more, no less.

I think it depends on how much you have to loose. I weighed in at 206 12/21/11 when I got my band so I had a low BMI. I lost 45 pounds and than had my revision o n May 6th and have lost 20 since. I think I felt the difference at about 30 pounds because I needed to buy new cloths!

I just had surgery on Monday. I have 10 BMI points to drop.

I'm 5'10"

High weight 254lbs

Current weight 230

Goal weight 165

I'm trying to get there! I'm 230 today...had surgery Monday. My goal is 199.9 by Sept 3rd...(the first day of school) I'm 5'10".

Just wondering when you noticed on yourself a physical change?
