Smooth move tea.. Available in Target, Wal-Mart, Whole Foods.. Works like a charm overnight.. Feel better..

Apparently, my scale does have the ability to start with a ONE!! 199.6 today!! Finally.

201 yesterday. Away for the weekend.happy I too finally broke my stall.. Thanks Bea for all your hard work with these challenges and best if luck in your new adventures.

Totally normal!! Dreaded 3rd week stall.. So frustrating.. I too promise it will pass..

Sorry I think I missed last week. But this week, 203..

I had heartburn/gerd prior to my surgery. After surgery, my heartburn more than doubled. I was taking 40mg Prilosec twice a day. I am now taking 60mg of dexilant twice a day. It helps, but the heartburn at times is just there. I went back in for an endoscopy and learned I still have a hiatal hernia. My surgeon recommended fixing it again (had one repaired @ time of sleeve). After consulting with my primary dr and seeing a specialist he recommended, I'm going to continue with the dexilant, adjust my diet and try a wedge pillow. Good luck!

Same today. Was 203 earlier in the week but back to 204 today. Bea - you look great in your pics!! Amazing job!!

me too! We have almost identical stats. My HW was 287, SW was 271 CW 203. Sleeved 10/21/13. I hope we make it to onederland before we know it!

204. One slow pound in the right direction...

I was sleeved on October 21, 2013. I also had a hiatal hernia repair. I was hopeful that that, combined with the sleeve, would reduce my heartburn. It has increased twofold. I now take a higher dose medication. I just went through my 2nd endoscopy, upper gi series and a cat scan only to learn I still have the hernia! My bariatric surgeon suggests a second surgery. My primary says the exact opposite and has referred me to a thoracic surgeon. Has anyone else dealt with this?? Thanks in advance.

strawberries and cream are pretty good.. I believe they're seasonal. Got the last case at my costco.

This week 205. 4th of July goal 196... Feeling hopeful!

205. Down one. Didn't make my goal . Thanks again Bea for organizing these challenges.

I'm in for a nj meeting. Please keep me in the loop also with places and dates. Thanks!!

good luck. I'm not far from so. Plainfield. I'm happy to meet up if you need anything. I'm in Middlesex..
