Whoop whoop! Great week! 211 today- 5lbs this week

Hw 250 Sw 236 Cw 211

So, I've pretty much been an open book about being sleeved. But today I had a client that I hadn't seen in about 6 months. About half way through her service she says... 'You know, you really look great. It looks like you've lost some weight'. FINALLY someone that didn't already know is noticing! Yay me

I agree with (most) of the above. Educate them. Direct them here. Tell them you love them and that's why your doing this. At the end of the day your the only one that can live with this decision. Good luck to you.

I hear you... I was barely crawling along then bam! It just started falling off. It'll happen, hang in there

Every response here has been so interesting. The only person I know of who found balance perfectly was Mr Miagi. (?)... I keep extra protein shakes at work along with pouches of tuna and beef jerky. I dont have to worry about them going bad. I involve my kids in everything I do. They help me plan my meals, add up my protein and exercise with me. I see it as a way to teach them healthy habits and a way to spend more time with them. I sit at the table with them..m even if I'm not eating the same things. I'm not perfect and I'm not striving to be. Perfect is boring and unsustainable. I got the sleeve because I just want to live. Yes, sometimes life gets in the way... but it's supposed to. What else would we have to remind us how lucky we are? ... btw ... I love you guys

So sad... Thank you for sharing

You have to take into account pre op too. I hit the three stall just before 2 weeks out and it lasted forever. .. now the weight is flying off. It's not an exact science. Keep up with your program and I promise it will work for you.

Congradulations on your success and thank you so much for hanging around to encourage us

What does that mean??

Oooh.. your doing great! Congrats on onederland! I'm totally jealous. Hw 250 Sw 236 Cw 211

A lot of people on here use my fitness pal (mfp)

It's so different for everyone so you may or may not. No way to know for sure. But you probably will in the beginning but I've heard it tightens up some with time

My 16's are actually getting loose! Not yet there but 14 here I come!!

Mine is very predictable but I started a week early about a day and a half after surgery

I can't remember when you were sleeved but around 4-5 weeks I finally realized I had absolutely no more pain when bending or twisting

Thank God I was only told 30 minutes. It's hard enough to get all my fluids in as it is! !

I get close to 800 most days

Dont let yourself get constipated

I don't have personal experience with drinking yet but from what I understand an occasional drink after about 4 months out is fine

Oh, no fun... hope that goes away

There are many threads on this very subject and they all mostly come to the same conclusion. .. if you want to tell, great... if you don't... great - nobody's business. But dont flat out lie. Dont say you had your gallbladder removed or you have cancer. Lying always come back to bite you in the arse. Good luck

Oh yeah sleeved 10/21

I'm getting between 500-800 daily... usually 700-800

Ahhh.. I promise it will get better. . You are still very early out. At my three week stall I felt the same way but now I can almost watch it fall off... now just waiting for the next inevitable stall
