_{Your all so true, I was sleeved 7/31 down 60lbs and loving it but I do freak out when the scale go's up a pound but your right your body is still shrinking.}

_{I do have a question for anyone and a concern, The Doc says to eat 6 to 8 times a day and but don't graze.}

_{What is the difference in grazing and eating 8 times a day??}

Hi I went thru the whole program, I believe the meeting with the Doctor is to get referred to the options classes, The reason I got referred is because I had sleep apnea. The options class was a great thing to help you understand everything.

Funny you asked, yesterday I was wondering what was the best thing for Protein and I Googled a site that had the top 11 choices for Protein, and here is what it said about Peanut Butter ..

11. Peanut Butter

2 Tablespoons = 8 Grams of Protein

Eating Peanut Butter is perhaps the easiest (and most delicious) way to up the amount of healthy protein in your diet.. You can add peanut butter to so many things (wraps, sandwiches, vegetables etc) but for those of you with little time to prepare healthy meals, simply consuming to spoonfuls of this delicious spread straight from the spoon will give you a whopping 16 ounces of healthy protein for the day.

I know they say no alcohol but I do have glass of red wine every once in a while.

Yes, I'm down from a size 26 day of surgery to a 22 today. So I guess I've lost some inches! My daughter had the same surgery in April and is down 60 lbs. She stalled until about the 2 month mark, then it started falling off her!! She's stalled again but this time isn't worried about it. She keeps telling me not to weigh myself daily, but its really hard not to!

Hey thats great, im loosing in inches also but im like you m diving myself crazy!! I keep saying I am not going to weigh myself today but that darn scale keeps calling me..

Thats great about your daughter sounds like she is doing good, you say shes down 60lbs in 4 months and see your 23lbs in less than 1 month.

Tony:

Weight lost as of today is only 23lbs. I am averaging 600 cals and have been doing Water aerobics and cardio every day but have completely stalled with weight loss. Very discouraging....how are you doing?

Hello, Well now that your telling me your down 23lbs that is great for you!! but now im discouraged because im only down 16lbs as of today but im sure it will pick up, as far as a stall are you loosing inches? because everyone is saying you may stall in loss but you loose in inches.

Your going to be fine, I was so nervous myself but you know what you will be in there and out of there and wonder if they have even started yet..

well I guess shame on me to, I was told NO coffee but I could take it I had to have some and so far it taste great!!

I am in Buena Park, Ca

Cool, And I work for Disney in Anaheim

I started at 288, 277 on date of surgery (7.29.13) 256 this morning. But im still on liquids only so ...

Some Dr. keep you on liquids longer than others, I moved up to blended on the 8th.

Where do you live???

Im in Corona Ca.

I got sleeved 7/31 and have lost 11 pounds so far, I can tell I lost inches and my face is starting to show, I don't like to compare my self to faster losers because the it makes u feel like your sleeve doesn't work and everyone's works differently. I also started at 204 so it's slower when you weight less

That's pretty good looks like were both on the same speed lets keep losing.

I was sleeved on July 19th and so far my scale can't decide whether I've lost 12 or 15 pounds. Keeps going back and forth. At first I was mad that I haven't had the crazy loss like some people. (30 pounds 2 weeks) but I've come to terms with it. It will start moving again once my body is ready. I eat my Protein and get almost the amount of Water I'm supposed to. I've just decided to not worry about what other people are losing and focus in me. My clothes and shoes are getting bigger so I KNOW I'm doing something right.

Hey Im with you that's what Im doing sticking to the plan im sure it all will kick in soon.

Thank You all, Cant wait to be on the big loosers list.

I guess Im a little excited to show off the new me.

Thanks

Yep I had the same thing so I called my Dr. and he said because you havent had anything but liquids there is no waste. it took me about a week when I started to have blended food.< /p>

Hello All,

Anyone else looking at the same results or better ??

When does the weight relly start falling off.

Hi Trillian135, my name is Tony and I had my surgery on 07/30 as well and funny your saying that to your doc because thank god I fell the same way, I feel great and was also thinking maybe nothing was done after all.

Thats great your feeling great to. How are you doning on your weight because since my surgery I have only lost 13lbs. my doctor said the first couple of weeks your only loosing weigfht because of muscle he said the real weight loss has not started yet.
