    AB2B reacted to Dawnislas in Did anyone else have an easy recovery? I'm getting downright paranoid....   
    I am 33 days post-op and have had a remarkable recovery. I went back to work 6 days after surgery and worked a full week including my football duty Friday night which made for a 15 hour work day. I had my first bout with diarrhea yesterday and I think it was the cran grape juice I added to my Protein Water for a different taste. I'm down 31 lbs so Life is good in my world.

    Bitchy friends are my favorite types of friends.

    I guess it depends on what you are doing whether or not you are doing something "wrong".
    Are you tracking your food?
    Are you following your program?
    Are you getting at least 64 oz of Fluid a day?
    Are you getting enough Protein? What is your Protein target?
    Are you taking your Vitamins and supplements as directed?
    Are you exercising?
    Are you eating enough to support your exercise intensity?
    Are you avoiding starches, added sugars (especially high fructose corn syrup), and fried foods?

    Hi everyone,
    I am 3 weeks out from my surgery (it was on 9/6). I'm down a little over 20 pounds which is great, but I've definitely noticed a stall in my weight loss the past several days. I've read other posts about a "3 week plateau." Anyone else with this experience?

    Stalls are a normal, natural, and necessary part of the process of losing weight. Everyone experiences stalls and just about everyone experiences a stall about three weeks post-op.
    Just follow your program. Focus on getting in all of your Protein and fluids. Take your Vitamins and supplements as directed. Exercise when cleared. Stay off the scale.
    And, Embrace the Stall

    I'm exactly 10 months out today and I've not had one single moment of regret! I'd do it again in a heartbeat!!! Best thing I've EVER done in my life. My BMI was 39 and now it's 24.... My high blood pressure is gone. All the aches and pains of my joints are gone! You won't regret it!

    I would do it again. Only 6 weeks out - hunger gone, down 40 pounds and more energy than I've had in years.

    I think the majority of us that have decided to get this done love to eat. That's why we're here. Me, I look for that "full feeling" so the way I've decided to look at this is...once my stomach is smaller, I'll choose healthier food and regardless I'll feel full. I think it's just going to be a matter of getting used to eating healthier. I see it as a "system reset" lol...starting new and better.

    After waiting 4 months, I am finally being sleeved tomorrow!
    I have to arrive at the hospital at 5AM... and by 8AM I'll be sleeved.
    I am a combination of nervous, scared, excited and everything in between. I have a great support system home and back at school. I have made it far & there is no turning back now ...
    Congratulations 10/17Sleevers- were so close!
