Tysm Mn, I told my daughter to take the scale bc I'm not obsessed w it, but now bc of the gain, I wanna weigh every second, so she hid it. And u and ur husband's right, forest. Again, ty and will repost Sunday: (

Well, today is my 1 month surgiversary and ive been pleased to a certain degree. One of the things i stated b4 surgery was that if i stalled i wouldnt be upset b/c it happens, and true, it did and i was fine. Well today i weighed and I AM SO P.O'D, but i knew that I cud come to my fellow sleevers to vent b/c I certainly cant at home w/o causing an argument, as it did w/ my spouse!! Anyways, i now weigh 212 and yesterday i was 208.8. I am so heartbroken b/c of it. I didnt get all my foods in b/c of the event i had yesterday, but i didnt eat badly b/c I can't. I did sip some broth from a homemade chicken soup, made me sick, so i stopped. I didnt get in all my water either. But almost 4 lbs in a day, and 1/4 belly, I would give up if i could, and still having spasms:(( Anyways..here are my numbers, and will post again Sunday for the officials... Hw 236.8 SW 227 CW 212 FRKN SUX!! But you guys keep on w/ the gr8 numbers and chugging along. We will c what sunday brings:)

You are sooo welcome my friend, glad to help in any way. And ty for the well wishes, still a struggle trying to swallow but not as bad as it was. Gl with ur workout, have fun????.

Congrats on reaching onederland!!

In my case, I figured it to be associated w my spasms n hernia repair. I absolutely can not and do not drink w my meals, I even use a timer to tell me when to bite again but certain foods like eggs, which I've stopped eating, n then today, my breakfast fish hurt me so bad while in church, I thought it was trying to swim back up my throat!! So painful but only w certain foods. Idk y but just my experiences thus far, but praying it gets better, and i'll do the same for y'all too.

Stalled 1~13~14 209.8 to 211 Hw 236.8 Sw 227 Cw 209.4 but not sure if stall is broken but Lord willing, check back next Sunday. God bless u all n I pray that all is going or getting better.

Hi, I'm 3wks out and at my 2nd postop which was yesterday, my doc told me that I need to stop the protein drinks since I was gettin at least 40g from foods. Also, as Atl said, my doc also includes shakes as part of the 64oz of fluid daily and yes those count towards caloric intake. Gl and hope things fall into place for u. God bless.

Sorry for us loss. And congrats on that amazn NSV, but surely w that big drop in sizes, the scale has got to b Makn u a happy camper as well:)))

I'm still in my stall since the 13th of January. I was watchn the end of Wendy Williams show today n she had Dr. Ian on there promoting his shred diet. He actually stated that during the 3 rd week most all people will either stall or weightloss slows down. So evn on non surgical diets, if u will, the body still responds the same. So that made me feel pretty cool knowing that its just the way the body works, not just bc we had wls! Just thot I'd share that. Gla, n gr8 numbers:)) God Bless.

I watched it w my kids. Only my teenager know that I had this surgery, my 9 yr old doesn't, but hearing their reactions and how angry we were at Penny, that it def made me realize that I can't let myself fail w this tool. Ik its half mindset as well as the tool that's gonna get us to our goals. I remember at the start of my journey, I'd b mad somtms at the pre stuff I had to do BUT God knows I'm thankful for that process. Bc watching that woman take on this journey wo a psychologist and nutritionist pre surgery, I'm more appreciative for mine. I kept sayn the entire time, she's not mentally prepared n she had no1 to help keep her b accountable at home, it was a mess. My daughter said, I'm so mad at her, she wasted the shows time and the drs time, I'm mad at her! Again, thank God for my presurgery requirements:)

Well, I'm officially stalled with a gain in the second stage: soft foods but again, I'm ok. Congrats to u all on ur losses. At least my clothes are looser, Yippie! Gd all:) Was 209.8 now 211:((

I'm enjoying how every1 is still encouraging each other on this journey, esp threw these stalls that are inevitable. I think, at 19 days out, I may b heading for my first stall. Was weighed at my first post and will weigh tomorr for the lbs loss board but so far, same weight, up n down same lb. Will officially weigh tomorrow, Lord willing, post then change or not but bc of u all b4 me, I'm not panicked one bit, just gonna embrace it n move onward! Like som1 said, this tool IS GOING TO WORK NO MATTER WHAT, so with that assurance in mind, I'm ok at this point. Second post op on Friday, so, will luk if its a true stall or just the fact that my body was adjusting to finally having food:). Gna and God Bless You!

Ty for ur well wishes Andrew:). I pray that ur still doing better. Ur loss is lookin terrific, keep up the good work!

Mama spike took the verse right out of my thots, cuz I was going to say the same thing. If she's religious, she'll get it, if not, its still the truth. I agree too w Seela about writing things down in a letter. I did this w my father a few yrs ago. And I said, if u NEED or want to discus any of what I wrote, then feel free. But these are my thoughts of how I feel uve made me feel over the years. I love u but I will not go to my grave wo letting UK how I've felt. I entitled it, my father's living eulogy...what wud I say or feel i needed to say if my father was not here. So figure out what u NEED to say, want to say, then write it down and send it to her in the mail, evntho she lives a few houses down. And then know that whatever happens, u did all that u cud. I pray that somthn we've said can help u.

I agree w Seela. You've been divorced already so we know u have the courage. Let me say, I'm no Dr Phil, but like Seela said, space cud b ur best friend bc u still love him. Did u state whether or not he still loves u? In any case, u seem to love the new you, u love him and u love ur kids and you want a better life for ur family. But u understand that the drug use was a mutual thing btwn the two of u, which u chose to quit and he has NOT CHOSEN too. U have made changes bc u wanted too, he is addicted, as uve stated, and he is not capable to make that choice yet. His habit is paid for, he still has u n the kids, regardless of ur threats, so y wud he change? My point, u have one more change U NEED to make, n that's to stop giving him ultimatums and put ur foot down and tell him that when he's rdy to get his life straight, u will b leaving and giving him that space to make his choices. If u don't want to divorce again, then pray and make up ur mind to leave or kick him out. He needs time to see that u mean business once and for all. God bless! Know that ur children are suffering a lot more than u may think, esp if they smell it. Make a statement so that they can b proud to know that mom loves them and will do whatever she can to keep them safe and let dad get himself some help bc until he's rdy, nothing is going to change until u do.

Update: I've been home about an hr. Was at Dr for 5 hrs. Bc of a "mis communication in my bloodwork", it delayed my results after being stuck 4x's and put on 2 bags iv fluid. I get home, doc just called and said that my blood work A+! He thinks that my bp is responding to the decrease in calories since Dec 16, 2013 til present. He cleared me for stage wo, egg yesss and so forth. I'm eating it now w cottage chz, not bad. Tummy tolerating it well, altho a few time its feels like it wants to kinda spasm, but then relaxes and I move on. Since its been 30', ima stop eating, as per nutritionist. Wait 30-40' to drink. Thx for any prayers sent up. As of today, I've lost 27#'s, praise God. Have a gna.

Hw 237.8 Cw 209.8 Official doctors postop weight:)

Hello my weight loss family. I came in today for my first post op checkup n my blood pressure was very very high so the doctor decided to take it laying down twice and standing up twice. my pulse was 144 at rest. So he thinks maybe but not for sure borderline dehydration. But I get from 60-64 oz daily. So I asked about a leak, he says nah, the symptoms for it, u do not have other than elevated pulse. So now at my, what Shuda been, at best 30' appt, I'm hooked up to an iv of 2 fluid bags, nurses everywhere getting blood and I lay here cold and praying that they don't keep me. Other than nooooo energy and an occ bp elevation at home, I thot I was doing pretty good. One good pot of gold, he says I can start stage twoooo, Yippie!! But I can't start it flat on my bck here, they need to order me an egg! Anyways, I just wanted to update and again, ask for ur prayers. Ty all in advance and keep up the gr8j ur doing. XOXO, Dee Dee

I am DeezTyme for whomever wud like to add me as well:). Gn my friends. I pray sweet blessings on u all.

Is there an on call nurse or doc u can phone? Esp not being able to drink which is major for us. I'm 12/30/13. So if it were me, I'd def call som1, u do NOT need to get dehydrated. I'm praying that u get bettr, let us know what happens.

C there, just a lil patience n vaalaaaa:)). Congrats:)

Yikes! Thx

So proud of u on all accomplishments and u just keep gettin stronger. We r here for u as u can see:). So get some sleep and I'll pray for a good rest of the visit. Remember, ur life, house, n rules. Nn

If I had ur number, wow! In any case, I agree w the others. U don't have to tell him anything but if u must, u can say, well I got sick n tired of being berated by those who are suppose to love me. So I've decided to do something about it. I'm choosing to love myself, love my hubby n children, and try and b an example for them. I'm trying to be healthier and show myself and my family, hubs n kids, that no1 deserves to b bullied about how they look but showing them how to love themselves no matter how they look, SO I've CHOSEN to do it in a healthier way. Love u dad, now I'm not going to share a week of my weightloss w u. Now welcome n have a seat!

Can u mush the veggies n add an unflavored protein powder? Unjury.com has a good one:) gl
