2 lbs this week! Was 226. Now 224. (Sorry a day late...)

I had it before my sleeve, and within a month, got 100% worse! I now take dexilant 2x a day. My dr said it could take 6 months to resolve. Good luck! I sympathize. Talk to an on call dr @ your office.

My highest was 287, was 271 day of sleeve. Just past 3 months and now 226.

Good luck Monday! I'm from Central Jersey too.

Sorry, was out of touch Friday. Stayed the same. 226... Ahhhh hope 3 months isn't like 3 week stall!

Pre Op I had: Endoscopy (because if gerd) EKG Chest x-ray Psych eval Blood work

HW: 287 S/W: 271 (10/21) C/W: 226 Just had 3 month appt. looking forward to test results.. In process of upping exercise routine. Way to go everyone!

226 today! Down 3.

Bea - Thank you for trying the reminder, but I am also OK not getting one. You are doing more than enough already. 1/3/14: 233 1/10/14: 229 FINALLY out of the 30's. Happy Birthday to me!! I was beginning to think my scale didn't have two 2's!

I too loved wings. A place near me bakes them and they're skinless. On another note, google buffalo chicken chili. It's delicious.

CW: 233 Goal: 223 Here's to being hopeful my loss picks up! Thanks again Bea for doing another challenge.

I had heartburn prior to my sleeve. Was taking 40 mg omeprazole once a day. Had hiatal hernia fixed @ same time as sleeve. After surgery my heartburn also went to a new level. I had awful heartburn 24/7. I am now on 60 mg dexilant 2x a day and finally don't have gerd!

Still same! Didn't make it down to 230 but can't not celebrate the weight I have lost since my sleeve on 10/21. On to valentines challenge.

Merry Christmas everyone! I stayed the same. 233.. 3 lbs to goal! I got this!

I'd like to take part in this challenge also. Thanks Bea for setting this up. Have a Merry Christmas.

Hiighest: 287 Surgery day: 271 (10/21/13) Current: 233

Hope all went well! Congratulations on your new journey.

I did too.. weekend before pre-op diet began, I had my favorites. That was the last time I've had any of it.. I do sometimes feel I still crave some, but I tell myself it's head hunger and go for some water to delay that feeling..

CW: 233. Down 4 from last week. So excited to be close to my 230 goal!

I'd say stop when you're full. My stomach would and still almost seizes when I'm full and try another bite. Good luck & take it slow. You'll know.

CW: 237 - down 3! I'll take it. Finally out of the 40's!

So what brands do you use? I also had an awful reaction to whey post op. I bought an unflavored soy protein but haven't figured out how to mix it yet. So far my oatmeal came out like cement.

I'm 7 weeks out tomorrow. After my 2 week post of appt my nut said as long as you're getting enough water in a cup of coffee is OK.

240lbs. Down 3. I'll take it.

. I'll be 6 weeks tomorrow. I've had what sounds like the same middle upper back pain! Asked dr and he wasn't sure what it was either. Could be from hernia repair, he also loosely thought gall bladder. Thinking of heading to chiropractor...
