If I get upset or too stressed it's like my tiny tummy closes

Hang in there it gets better....you will do just fine

Once you are able to start taking in some calories the scale will start moving again....and even though the scale does not always move you are still losing inches

I was in for 4 nights because I had a previous lapband and had a lot of scar tissue they had to cut through which caused a lot of nausea

Congrats that's an awesome feeling

My sweet boyfriend hid the scale and only brings it out on Sundays.....otherwise I'd step on it 3x daily....when we work out there's 2 things that can happen, burn more calories than your taking in or your gaining muscle....bottom line is if you are following your NUT plan then you should be fine and will be a healthier you in no time

Amazing progress

Thank you everyone for your support and words of encouragement....makes this journey easier

No problem....this phase will be over before you know it

I'm 6 weeks out and I've lost 27 lbs since surgery....i eat eggs, fish, I made grilled cheese on a flat out wrap....I made stuffed pepper soup and just are that.....grilled chicken....basically anything I want that's good protein....no room for veggies or carbs

So I'm from Pittsburgh and if anyone follows baseball they know we are in the playoffs for the 1at time since the early 90's....anyway I'm a huge fan....my boyfriends co workers got tickets and included me....so I'm 6 weeks post op and haven't had to worry about a social food packed scene....I watched everyone eat like fools lol and I had my cheese and protein bar and water.....I made it....then they decide to go to the Olive Garden....oh no haven't been to a restaurant since surgery.....but I am so proud.....did not touch the salad or breadsticks and ordered off the light fare menu which was scallops and tilapia....had a few bites and boxed the rest.....best part was I didn't feel bad that I couldn't eat the other things and was completely satisfied with what I got.....now I know.I can do this

Water, sugar free Popsicles and sugar free flavored ice....decaf tea

I couldn't even eat the broth.....It made me sick

You look great

That was the best story

I'm 6 wks post op and I went through that at 2 weeks but now I'm happy as ever....you will feel better soon I promise

Thank you everyone and it does feel good....everytime I go in my closet is like I'm buying new clothes....things I have not fit in for such a long time (but were kept in boxes) now fits....

It's so nice when other people understand what you mean....I try to explain to the boyfriend what it feels like when I'm hungry and he looks at me like I have 3 heads

This is true....thank the sleeve for that much....I found a good recipe on Pinterest for all kind of different flavor roasted chick peas....before it was a bag of lays lol

Swear they left my hunger hormone in there....I'm 5 weeks post op and I'm on regular food....I eat my breakfast and I swear I'm hungry 2 hrs later....I eat a laughing cow and I'm ready to eat again in an hr and so on.....but I know hunger and I know acid.....is it all in my head??! I'm staying between 600 and 700 calories and getting in 60 to 70 gms protein....anyone else feel this way??

You look great

You look awesome
