Not really. Unfortunately

Sleeved 2-18-14. Down 131 total including 32 loss from pre-op

A huge NSV for me this weekend... I went to the southern womens show yesterday with my sisters just like I do every year but this time I was able to walk through the turn style to get in instead of walking around it. I was so excited and thrilled!!!????????????

That's cool. How far out are you?

I live in kannapolis and work in concord. Sleeved 2-18-14

It hasn't seemed very active in the past but I'm from kannapolis nc

I had the sleeve on 2-18-14 and including pre-op loss, I am down 113 lbs. lately. I feel like my teeth feel bigger against my inner lips/gums. Even my mother said it looks like I am holding my mouth like when I had braces many many years ago. Has anyone else dealt with this strange sensation?

Awesome pics. Beautiful before and after

Wow. That's wonderful. You're doing great

OMG. SJ. You look amazing. Congrats. You're doing Awesome!!!

Ok so I did some side by side comparisons today. and thought I would share ( I wear the same outfit for all my monthly photos). I am so happy with my sleeve!!! The pics are from the day before surgery vs today. I had lost 32 lbs before surgery. I don't have a good pic to show from that But here are my stats. Overall highest weight. 393 Beginning of journey. 372 SW 340.6. (Photo on left) CW 282.6 (Photo on right)

Yeah. I looked up anemia too online but I don't have a lot of those signs. Not sure. If it keeps on happening then I need to go have tests ran too. Hope your results come back quickly so you know what you're dealing with

I hope the tests go ok. Mine stops after I eat only in the mornings before breakfast. It seems so strange

It is so strange. But it seems once I eat some protein it goes away. Hubby thinks I need to eat something at night before I go to bed so I won't get light headed in the morning. So last night I ate a protein bar before I went to bed and did not have any symptoms this morning. It may be coincidence but I am going to try it again tonight.

Anyone get light headed and flush feeling first thing in morning before eating anything? It's happened yesterday and today. Weird. I'm getting in 70 - 80 G protein and 50-60 oz water every day. I know I need more water. Dr said. To make sure to at the very least get in 48oz to stay hydrated. I don't like this feeling. Bought a new blood pressure wrist machine (for hubby). And took my bp today. It was 93/50. Also the feeling goes away when I lay down. So strange

My husband had a stroke Saturday morning and we have been in the hospital ever since. All prayers are appreciated. I am trying to keep up with my diet plan. Had my sleeve on 2-18-14

Thank you he is doing ok. Getting some feeling back. We go to neurologist on Wednesday to have him evaluated to see if he can return to work or not.

I love my fitbit flex

That is so awesome. I know you are so proud. YAY!!!

Hair loss has officially started for me. Wow I lost a lot tonight

Thank you everyone for keeping us in your prayers. Hubby (Jeff) came home Wednesday and is doing ok. It is very scary but to have had a stroke. He is very lucky. He can walk (slowly ) and talk (no change there) The damage it has caused is some slight numbness on his entire right side. His rt. torso is the part that has not started to ease up yet. But his right leg arm and right side of his face seems to be getting better. Not as numb as it was. But not normal yet either He says it is a very strange sensation. I am doing ok. I was not getting enough fluids in while he was in the hospital. and almost passed out Wednesday afternoon while I was out walking. Luckily I sat down on the curb when it started and was able to fight it off. Then my neighbor walked me home to make sure I was ok. (It happened about 4 houses away from home) Now we just wait to see if in time he gets more of the feelings back and work to prevent it from happening again.

Definitely keeping him in my thoughts. Hang in there. Wishing I could give you a big hug. Thank you. I feel the virtual hug.

I am so sorry to hear about your husband. I will keep you both in my prayers. It's not nearly as serious but my mom was hit by a car a few weeks ago and had a minor surgery due to her accident. We live with my parents right now so I have been a full time caregiver and full time mommy of a toddler for the last month and my diet and exercise routine have suffered. I struggled with my protein and just got back to the gym for the first time yesterday. I gained 4 pounds over the past month too. It sucks! Please do your best to get some rest and at least get the protein in if you can. I know it isn't easy! Is your husband still in the hospital? Or is he home? Please keep us updated and don't hesitate to post here or even PM me if you need to chat. How is your mom. I hope she is ok. hang in there and that 4 lbs they will be off before you know it. Jeff (hubby) was discharged today so now we can figure out what our new normal will be. He drives for a living and they won't release him to go back (and rightly so) Until he sees a neurologist and has some tests on his reaction times. That is set for in two weeks. We figure he may have to change jobs now But we will take it one say at a time. I am just glad he is still here with me and other than some numbness on his right side. He can walk and talk and function. We have noticed his hand writing has changed and his right arm hangs by his side differently when he walks
