    I'm at 39 miles to my (revised) goal of 54 miles. Did 3 miles on the treadmill this afternoon and burned more calories than ever before by increasing the intensity. Had a stressful Christmas Eve morning...my 14 year old son has had the flu and he fainted and collapsed in my arms this morning. We got him to the ER and everything checked out OK. Just need to keep pushing fluids and rest. I thought about what I would have done pre-op after a morning like that...I would have bagged out of the gym, I'm sure. I would have drank many coffees (light with sugar or honey) to get thru the day and eaten lots of food and Christmas goodies. Instead, when we got home, I made some scrambled eggs and turkey sausage, then headed to the gym. Came home and now I'm enjoying a strawberry Protein Shake and ready to wrap some presents. What a difference 6 weeks makes, huh? Merry Christmas everyone!

    So sorry about your son, but glad you are making better choices

    Too much sugar/sweets makes me extremely nauseous. I'm about 3 1/2 months out and I cannot tolerate sweets. My MIL made homemade eggnog this past weekend - I thought nothing of it and drank about 1/2 a cup...OMG it was awful. I finally took Zofran b/c the nausea was unbearable. Idk if my sleeve will always be like this or not but I need it to!!! Before surgery I had a HUGE sweet tooth! Not anymore, thankfully.

    Congratulations Everyone: I'm also having a hard time getting Protein in. I take1 bite and am full. Protein Drinks I am not able to drink. I know I'm suppose to take in 60 grams a day, but it's so hard, I'm no where near that! I know if you get a good amount though and drink Water it helps with the weight loss, I wonder why that is?. My 3 month appt is next week. I was hoping to be at a 40-45% loss of my excess weight. I lost another 2 lbs this week so I'm hopeful to hit my goal I set for myself. Keep up the good work everyone!

    I can't tolerate them either...but Proti Diet had a hot cocoa mix with 15 grams of protein in it and I can tolerate that and it's good.

    I hear ya sista! You go girl. I understand completely. I was a size 8 when my hubby and I married 9 years ago, but then I hurt my back moving a patient. One thing led to another and I wound up a size 22! 2 months after my sleeve I'm down to a size 16. I'm not yet ready to "have the lights on",but hubby is. dde1c I'm comfortable in my gym clothes, but I'm not ready for "neked" yet. Maybe after another 20 lbs or so.

    Seriously? No lights on ever???

    Oh no, RJ!! I'm so sorry to read this!! My goodness, you surely are a lesson in keeping positive through just about ANYthing!!! Hun, I would hope and pray I could be as gracious and positive thinking as you are if I had to endure the same battles/struggles that you do. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers, my friend.
