apcc, great to here surgery went well. walking does help with a speedy recovery!!

In the scheme of things you are really not eating that much. Remember what you used to eat before. Everyone’s journey is different, some cannot eat much, some can eat more than other, but remember we are all eating so much less than we used too. Plus stalls happen, just don’t get discourage and keep on with the program, the weight will come off soon enough!!

Awesome job...cheers to a healthier and a skinnier you!!

That's great...it feels good to eat pureed foods then soft solids I'm currently on. It gets easier once your off liquids. Plus our new and improved pouches can only hold very little now which is awesome.

it gets easier everyday. I'm 23 days post surgery (lost 45 pounds) and it hasn't been hard at all. My eating habits have changed and I love that food doesn't run my life anymore. Cheers to becoming healthier and skinnier at the same time!!

I also loved Starbucks every morning for many years, but remember how many calories those drinks have. I have been off caffeine for roughly 2 months. I might stay off of caffeine because I know it might be a trigger for me.

from what I hear there is a stall weeks 3 - 6. remember our bodies have gone through allot recently. Hopefully you'll start seeing the pounds drop soon enough. Reach out to your nutritionist and see what advice they can give you.

it's absolutely normal to feel scared. I had the same feeling I have two young boys, one still in diapers. But you need to remember we are doing this to be healthier and be around longer for yourself, kids, family, etc. I stopped being scared once I woke up from the anesthesia. Have a good support system at the hospital. I had my wife and parents with me. Trust all the research you did on the procedure and the surgeons.

Only you can answer if your big enough for this surgery. You need to do all the research needed for you to be both mentally and physically ready for this journey. your BMI is 34.2 and your range (Obese Class I (Moderately obese)). I have BCBS and the requirement was >40.

Awesome ...You must feel amazing. I could only hope to have the same kind of results you have had in such a short amount of time. continued success on your amazing journey!!

Amazing...You must feel incredible, fantastic, and so on. I could only hope to have the same kind of results you have had in such a short amount of time. continued success on your amazing journey!!

That's great...I will try some this week, and I love extremely spicy, i have to add additional hot sauce to make it just right!!

I did right after surgery for the first week, then it gradually went away since I started to move more and sleep in different positions.Try getting a massage to see if the takes the tightness away.

how long did you have to wait to eat Indian food, especially spicy Indian food? I'm 23 days post op.

You look fantastic...congrats on your success!!

I also get the bubble sensation with no nausea. I had my surgery on 8/26/13. do you know what causes this and how long it last?

Congrats on the weight loss and a healthier you!! awesome results

Hoping all went well and you recovery is going good!!

I was told to follow the 30-30-30 rule. It's hard sometimes, as I used to drink allot of liquids when I ate before my sleeve. But it gets easier every day.

Great suggestion!! I will try this tonight. thanks for sharing.

Amazing results...you look so happy!!! Congrats!!!
